It isn't their first time with aliens, though you're spot on regarding the lack of team-ups resulting in a subpar response to an existential threat. I imagine that every five years or so, a major city-threatening emergency occurs. It rotates, and sometimes it's worldwide, region-wide, state-wide, country-wide, etc. But that influences what happens socially, structurally, and power wise in the aftermath. The Santa Barbara Magic fiasco gave rise to a bunch of magic-powered villains, artifacts, and an interest in fantasy movies. The Alien Invasion resulted in a lot of collected alien tech. A wave of powered individuals like Punch-Up and [Redacted].
I believe I foreshadowed the first major event following the death of Mecha Man Astral when Robert reflects back to a time when he was torn out of the suit. To highlight some foreshadowing to that event.
