What do you do if you get another player coming in after the first session? A lot of the creation stuff seems to assume you’ve been together before the game started, and it looks like a new player would be left out. Will there be other ways to connect a new hero to the group after it’s formed in the final version?

Seems like a new character has a lot of leeway to come up with an entire encounter/fight where they joined the group. It happens off-page, just like the one created by the rest of the group.
How about as am old friend who suddenly got The Mask. Or, he could be from a separate hero team and “on loan”
Depending on your group, he could always be a villain and then have a change of heart.
I can see excellent potential for the new character being a young villain determined to reform (or who someone on the team is determined to reform), someone empowered by a recent adventure, or the kid of a villain.
Terra (temporarily) joining the Teen Titans in the show (i.e. a quick battle where she showed her usefulness) comes to mind. You could also have a Captain Marvel on Young Justice where someone like the protege’s mentor forces it on them, but they bond and accept them as part of the team.
These are all really great ideas. I was thinking more about the fill-in-the-blanks sections of the character sheet – no one would have chosen the new character for any of their influence or anything like that. I need to remember that the rules are there for the fiction. If Terra comes in and Raven’s jealous and BB’s infatuated, that means the character is just as connected to the team. It just happens in play rather than before as part of the character creation process.
