The initiative is a knock off...

[Doom17]

Does The Initiative remind anyone else of a Teen Titans knock off?

Allow me to make my case...

Gauntlet- Team Leader & black guy with cybernetics like...
Cyborg -Team leader & black guy with cybernetics
(also Gauntlet is replace by fellow black tech hero War Machine)

Cloud 9- Girl who floats around on a cloud like...
Terra- Chick who floats around on a rock

Komodo- Girl who changes from human to green animal like...
Beast Boy- Guy who changes from green human to green animals

Trauma- Guy who taps into peoples fear emotion like...
Raven- Girl who taps into people emotions, particularly their darker sides

M.V.P.- Would be dead guy who is the peak of human performance
Robin- Killed and resurrected guy who is the peak of human performance

I know that there are only so many powers and character types you can come up with in comics, but this group of powers in one team comic is a little suspicious.

After so long it gets hard to come up with original ideas, even if you think it's original. But you're right this is pretty much like the Squadron Supreme and the Justice League.
