Runaways has very little canon. It's completely unnecessary to make these changes. They don't have to pick and choose from various comic canons. I understand changing things to let it flow better as a TV show but if Karolina is modified that serves no purpose to the canon plot but alters it to make a completely new conflict.
They took out the time travel and made Gert's parents biologists, which changes their perspective on why they joined and kills several future events. They killed off Molly's parents which changes her arc and motivation. They made Chase smarter. They made them an open cult which should change how people react to all the characters. If Karolina's not an alien that's kills Xavin's plot, granted there wasn't much of a chance for him anyway. It's just unnecessary. It's completely possible to expand their origins and even change stuff they have to legally without altering it so much.
I swear to god if they change the Mole I'm going to shit a brick on the internet for years. I know it doesn't matter to anyone, but this is /co/ and we bitch.
