Between sending the astronaut back home, and sending the kid from s1 back to the college where he was mutilated, I'm doubting Cecil's ability to manage things after a disaster.

Mark's mom is right in not handing over the baby.

Cecil definitely gives off vibes of someone barely holding things together. He'd never admit it, but I'd guess losing the original Guardians broke whatever system they had in a fundamental way

I was cutting Cecil some slack for sending the 3 remaining Guardians to deal with the Lizard League, but now hes running back to Eve? Is there really NOBODY he could recruit?

And he wasnt aware of Nolans books?

I think their really isn't anybody else. Especially anyone as experienced and powerful as Eve. It might just be her and the rejects from the trails to join the new Guardians. Remember early in the show, Amber and most unpowered people kinda thought being a superhero was easy because most of them just have mild powers and are more social media stars than experienced warriors.

Anyone powerful enough is likely brand new. Eve has more experience than them because of Teen Team.

But any heroes powerful and older would have joined the old Guardians like they tried to recruit Omniman.
