One of the things I wanted to propose in my absence was for Sam to return, offer the team buckets of money (the shapeshifter has millions) so they could run the company how they see fit. Sam would not return to active duty (because as a hero/merk, he sucks).
This would bring the team back to the democratic idea, rather than having one head figure that "owns" them, so to speak.
As for Miss. X, I have hated her since Malvana in this universe and what happened with Danny. I can let Doc Q's role fade away because he was the "in the dark scientist" but with Miss. X running the company, seems shady.
So, does the team want Sam's money? No, he would not run the team, nor be a part of it.
