* RealitySubtext: The last few pages of issue 18, Mark Waid's final issue of the title before its ''ComicBook/MarvelAFreshStart'' hand off, has Kamala complaining that the team had fallen off of their mission statement of trying to solve things without fighting and super powers, which may be a nod to the fact that the latter half of Waid's run, starting with the ''ComicBook/SecretEmpire'' crossover, was all about that, something that frustrated Waid a lot.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Most people agree the January 2019 relaunch (when 2016 series ended in December 2018) was artificial and screwed the sales and the decision to have some of the most popular characters on the team leave to focus on their own books (some of which was, admittingly, Jim Zub's decision, but other cases feel like an editorial mandate) undid any benefit adding several minor fan-favorites had, leading to the series cancellation.

* DuelingWorks: Champions is Marvel's answer to ComicBook/TeenTitans, but has this especially with [[ComicBook/TeenTitansRebirth Rebirth incarnation of the team]] as they launched roughly at the same time, both have diverse teams but differ in approach. It also seems the 2019 ReTool of Champions to be bigger than before will likely have this [[ComicBook/YoungJustice2019 return of Young Justice]], another team promising a large, rotating cast, planned for the same month.
** Young Justice definitely won, with higher direct market sales. Champions was announced to be cancelled in July 2019.

The competition with the highly-anticipated return of a fan-favorite series, on top of an artificial relaunch doing more harm than good, arguably lead to Champions was announced to be cancelled being canceled, ending in July November 2019.

* AscendedMeme: The "Flyclops" meme revolved around Cyclops using his EyeBeams to lift himself off the ground, essentially allowing him to fly. Teen Cyclops actually does this at one point in the book, and happily comments on his ability to fly.
