	As much as I'm disliking the book, I would generally love to see Beast Boy get his ass kicked and Cassie to fulfill the idea of progress that DC teased us with when they made Black Canary and Power Girl the chairs of their respective teams. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I'm going bet Rf.10 that the complete opposite of your statement is going to happen. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I wouldn't mind Cassie taking over but not like this :( They're so mean. It makes me sad ;_; (and makes me root for Beast Boy, actually, not sure why... and for Bombshell too...). (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Cassie makes sense as leader of the Titans. The other two: not so much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, Peej doesn't make even a little teeny tiny bit of sense whatsoever - not only does she not really have the skills, she doesn't have the least bit of interest. She's smart enough to know what leadership entails and she values her freedom way too much to give it up like that, especially not when there are other people around who she knows are way better at the job than she could ever be.

Dinah, on the other hand, does have both the skills and the willingness, if required. She just doesn't have the temperament - it's not good for her, and her friends are assholes for even asking it of her and there's no way she could do it long-term without losing who she is.

Cassie should be a perfect pick, but after years of Johns and McKeever she comes across as the worst of the three. :/

	At least we know the reason Cassie's attempting to herd the cats that are the Teen Titans, and it makes sense, given her history. With Dinah and Peej, we were just told that they were voted in. It's like Iran! (Reply to this) (Parent)

Also in Dinah's case pretty much everyone from the Trinity on down, including her husband and his boyfriend, Hal, pretty much acted like she wasn't in charge - undermining her from the start. She was in a no-win situation. One could make the case Vixen could make a good head for the next JLA since she was basically the only one from Meltzer's JLA team who hasn't at some point bailed (even lying about her powers to stay on it).

As for Peege, I always thought the Old Guard gave it to her because of her generation she's been the constant one on the team, the one who thinks of the JSA as her family, so they probably figured she deserved it.

Honestly, I don't think the JLA is a team anyone can really lead. It's supposed to be the best of the best of superheroes, who are a very individualistic bunch. Look at the times that the League was at it's best. Could you really point to who was the leader? Who led Morrison's League? Who led the satelite League? The Chairman was more along the lines of the poor sap who got saddled with making sure Green Arrow and Hawkman didn't get into a fistfight at meetings. A group like the League is incompatible with leadership the way Robin (Dick or Tim) led the Titans, or the way Oracle led the Birds.

	I think Power Girl's biggest qualification(not those)for leading the JSA at the time was her complete lack of any life outside of superheroing. Seems to me that actually happens a fair amount. It feels like it's Gar's biggest claim tp leading a Titans team (Reply to this) (Parent)
