Which I actually full believe for a lot of reasons, but it\'s not what the author intends. I think. He\'s certainly intent on hyping Arcade, when I think he\'s just made him twice as incompetent.

{{Flanderization}} -- Yeah, No. Just no. You need a stronger argument than that. This is not how they \\\'always\\\' acted. Hazmat\\\'s anger is derived from experience not nature (Academy #3 established this, Arena #1 contradicted it) and she had matured greatly over the course of the series. It\\\'s that contradiction that is the primary problem. Saying \\\"She\\\'s always been like that\\\" doesn\\\'t account for the change, or really, anything. For Mettle, find me something that he does in Arena #1 that doesn\\\'t boil down to \\\"Loves Hazmat\\\" or \\\"Exposition Dump.\\\"
There was no \\\"frontal assault\\\", it amounted to a few of them attacking (about half or less IIRC) making separate attacks, MookChivalry in full effect. Then they do nothing when Hazmat brings Arcade to his knees just screams of IdiotBall. Given Mettle\\\'s overall character and history, it really doesn\\\'t work. See Avengers Academy #19 for a better example of what he\\\'d do in a hopeless situation.
Being quick to snark is different from how she\\\'s portrayed here. Here, she\\\'s angry and belligerent. The scene I\\\'m referring to is the destruction of Nico\\\'s fruit tree in #4. It\\\'s bad. Really bad. After being rested and fed, it should have reset at least part of her rational mind. Instead, the \\\'stress\\\' (that occurs off screen mind you) is in full effect. That\\\'s not how those things even work! Furthermore, before, her barbs were, well, witty and pointed. So even if being snarky is part of her character, Arena\\\'s is a shallow variation of it. In other words, Flanderization.
Also, Juston was recently added to the list. Do you have any problem with that?
Since you did not mention any of the others, I will assume that you have no further qualms with them.
