I suspect that part of the problem is that AF is a Canadian superhero team and almost no one -- not even Canadians -- know what that means, exactly. As a Canadian, I feel that part of the equation is "no gaudy skintight costumes".
I've noticed that problem has surfaced elsewhere, with the Global Guardians which was a DC concept, for one thing.
When I looked at Jack Kirby's 1957 11-story run on Green Arrow I was struck by one of the stories: The Green Arrows of the World.
The basic plot was Olliver Queen put together a meeting between other, international archers, which operated under the same nom-de-guerre. One dressed like a sheik, another was a jungle-boy type, another was a Zorro-type. This sort of made sense to me that foreign superheroes would not follow the skin-tight American model.
