I can see and understand why people would be offended, and many of those designs and choices feel very questionably steroetypical in the negative sense. Despite this, I still feel that moment was supposed to be a "don't judge a book by its cover" lesson that was unfortuately executed poorly because of stereotyping and unfortunate implications, not something the writers and artists intended to upset people. I hope this was a one-time error that doesn't appear in a future issue, assuming the heroes will return to NYC again soon. The best that could happen is that Public Enemy and his crew don't show up again; there might be a way to have them appear again and in a better way, but I don't think it's a task worth taking. Also, thankfully, Public Enemy and company aren't the only representation going on in this comic alone, with Victory, Kenya, and Kenya's father being better characters seen in better life situations.

From what I've heard of for the fourth issue, it sounds better. It doesn't have anything in it that should cause controversy, and while I have to read it to get it better, it sounds like the plot cliches I was expecting aren't as bad I had thought. If the cliches have to be there, they might as well be decently, if not exceptionally, done, and by the sound of it, it's not below decent. I wish the disrespect problem had been more equally distributed and less American-heavy, but it works out fine enough. Also, it strongly sounds like the heroes will return to NYC soon, so with this introduction plot finished, we'll hopefully see more interactions and team-ups that include disagreements but still having respect towards each other across the board.
