I don't think Epitome would blindly follow orders either. He has acted against the LL sometimes - such as when he stole a sample of human-Hallie's blood for the government as a counter to the Shoggoth and other elder-beings - but he would require good evidence before turning on the team these days.




I'm not sure how much more dangerous Lara would make the team though. Jarvis has pretty much Lara-like powers back in the day, including flight and teleportation and a link to one of the fundamental forces of the Parodyverse, the "Jarvis cosmic". He was on a team with a dragon, a Celestian-powered sea monkey, Space Ghost, Donar, Yo, Starseed (another cosmically powered acolyte of the Gah! force) and a bunch of others. The team has been as strong since but never stronger, and that alone wasn't enough to bring down official reprisals or restraint.

I think the actual tipping point is where we are now with a crisis of confidence in the Legion's leadership and reliability. It's not the power levels - the team's pretty much always had the capacity to blow up or conquer the planet. It;s whether they're trusted not to do it.

In that sense Lara would be a stabilising influence, not more provocation to eliminate the heroes (which is why she's conveniently absent).
