* '''Reconstructed''': It turns out that Amazing Girl's function as TheHeart of the team has a purpose, as the group turns into a fractious mess of backbiting and petty feuds without her to smooth things over. The team begs Amazing Girl to come back; in her downtime, she's been training/got a power boost, and is allowed one crowning moment of awesome at her return...before status quo kicks in and she returns to faux territory. She decides to shift into something less action-y.
