    At least in the comics there was the element of conflict added that they had to give up their secret identities

      They also had to undergo actual training in regards to their powers and tactics

      Because a group of young, untrained heroes tried to fight a man who's power is literally "A suicide bomber who doesn't die from exploding" next to an elementary school and then got themselves and 300 kids exploded

        Depends what you were reading, because the editors coordinated nothing.

          Yeah, I remember the whole "We made clones of the kid we accidentally killed in the training camp" thing

          Also the whole "Yeah, we brought back Slapstick as a manic little monster, what are you gonna do about it?" thing

          Would have been interesting if they expanded on the whole 50 States Initiative thing where every state got a superhero team, but we can't expect comic book writers to run with a good idea every time can we?

      I mean in the movies none of them actually have secret identities.
