* A mix of FridgeBrilliance and FridgeHorror; during ''ComicBook/JLAAvengers'', Cap's main 'concern' about the Franchise/DCUniverse was that it felt like a world where the heroes basically lorded it over the civilians they were meant to protect, depriving humanity of the chance to progress on their own. While the Squadron at least superficially try to connect with the people they protect, such as Hyperion's civilian identity as a high school teacher, they have so far shown more concern with just taking out their enemies rather than truly ''helping'' people, with characters such as Silver Witch and the Hulk automatically condemned as villains where the Avengers were always willing to help them at their worst. While Blade has observed that this world at least appears better on the surface, when looking deeper it becomes clear that the Squadron are all but explicitly in charge of this world, humanity dependent on their protection so that they can't truly do anything the Squadron don't approve of, and giving no sign that they are willing to 'help' beyond killing the threats in front of them (such as Peter Parker attempting to kill himself to stop his mutated form hurting others rather than asking Hyperion for help, where in Marvel or DC Peter could have asked the FF for aid or Jimmy Olsen could have called Superman).

Worst of all, the Squadron give no sign that they are willing to 'help' beyond killing the threats in front of them (such them; as a particular example of this, while Peter Parker attempting is presented as the Jimmy Olsen equivalent to Hyperion, when he undergoes a mutation into an alien life-form Peter swiftly attempts to kill himself to stop his mutated form hurting others rather than asking Hyperion for help, where help; in Marvel or DC the canon timeline Peter could have asked the FF Fantastic Four for aid or assistance, and in an equivalent situation Jimmy Olsen could have called Superman).

* Phil Coulson used a Cosmic Cube to change reality, turn himself into the President of the United States, and the Squadron Supreme enforce his rule by going against all supervillains and superheroes alike, anyone capable to challenge them is a threat by default (even the Watcher, who never does anything but watch). We have seen little of Coulson's presidency, so who's to say that this is limited to other superhumans? Coulson is likely a PresidentEvil, maintaining the democratic procedures and institutions simply for tradition, while the country is a full dictatorship in practise.

* It seems that the Silver Sorcerer talked to the Goblin about the original earth, so he asked Nighthawk to keep it the way it is, because he feels better in it. Excuse me? How can he possibly prefer to be an inmate of a mental institution, rather than the man running it, and a VillainWithGoodPublicity to boot? It may be possible that he's actually using reverse psychology. If the Goblin told Nighthawk what would be in store for him in the 616 reality, and that he wants it to be the main one, Nighty would be determined to keep things the way they are. But if he says he likes this reality better... he may reconsider. Note that Nighthawk is also leaning towards keeping things the way they are, but because of his own line of thought, and that's just good luck for Goblin.
