I think that’s a valid opinion to hold, surely.

I don’t know that I can agree that was was done by the Squadron was done out of spite.

Rather, I think that the Squadron believed that, based upon their past actions, Namor and Atlantis represented an aggressor nation that presented a clear and present danger to the safety of the world, and so moved to neutralize that danger.

You may well not agree with the action that they took, and that’s really a part of the point of the series: where is the line drawn? The characters will look for an answer and figure out what makes sense to them, and so will the readers.

I’m always amused when fans ask the questions a series was obviously intending to get people to ask themselves, but they treat it like a negative. Sometimes series have characters do questionable and even flat out morally wrong things, because it forces us to ask ourselves questions about where lines should be drawn, and that is the whole point. Squadron Supreme is doing the same thing the Authority did 15 years ago, but some fans just seem to think all books should be about characters making all the right decisions all the time, or something?
