>>114737633Numbuh 5 could be described as the most competent and mature member of the squad. She's also the sneakiest from what I've seen.
Despite that, she can't do everything solo. Despite not being as level headed, Numbuh 1 remains the best leader, being inspiring and highly motivated. Numbuh 2 is the smartest of the team (and according to Numbuh 1, amongst the smartest of the KND) whose tech and piloting skills prove instrumental to success. numbuh 3 is both the general healer of the team and their hidden asset. Everyone would underestimate her but in the right mood, she's easily the last person you'd want to be stuck in a room with. Numbuh 4 is the brawn of the group. Tough, strong, and doesn't need any motivation to unleash the pain but you'd best not put him in a position to lead or think.
They worked as a team, having their individual strengths and weaknesses and while there may be some overlap, most of them time they defer to the experts in their group. Compare and contrast that with something like the Star Wars sequels where each of the characters have their different strengths, but one is clearly skilled in everything and carries the team almost entirely.
