Over time, The Elite have evolved from mere antagonists to complex characters that challenge the traditional notions of heroism, prompting discussions about morality and justice in the superhero genre.

Cultural Reception

The Elite were well-received for their fresh take on superhero dynamics, with 'What's So Funny About Truth, Justice & the American Way?' being particularly praised for its commentary on modern heroism.
