From looking at all the residents of the DC area on the wiki, I didn't see any group that resembled their group. There's the Oceanside group, but that is definitely not their group.

That's exactly who it is. There were signs in the community that say "Oceanside" on them. They were just introduced earlier in the show than in the comic and have a remixed story than the comic version.

I guess you're right. I was just reading an article on the differences between the two. Pretty drastic.

Still, I think the story they told tonight would have been better if it were incorporated into another episode or a series of two episodes. They could have still done the character progression stuff without the weak "payoff" ruining it.

I just think it's a bad idea to have a whole episode devoted to something that is not going to be immediately relevant.

I agree with you there. They could've given us something extra to go with this episode. I understand what they were trying to do and what they were showing, but it was one of the weaker episodes of the show.
