Oh. 1) That sounds interesting as hell. And 2) I hadn't heard of that, so totally my bad. I guess we'll decide it when that issue comes out.

Personally, I think since it was formed without any connection to the original team, it is its own team even if it shares the same name. (Like the original Champions and the current Champions.)
