Dumb Question, Maybe

I have a dumb question, maybe I didn't pay enough attention during the show (I was so in awe at everything, I forgot to pay attention to the plot sometimes), but... what happened to the other special kids? There were quite a few...? I mean Hargreaves got "only" seven of them...? So... where's the rest? Are they special, too? What happened to them?

Did I miss the explanation? *hides*

Oh, totally! It would make complete sense if a bunch of dangerously undertrained copycat teams sprang up after the kids started getting famous, but that doesn't seem to have been what happened, and I'm pretty sure I trust the story for there to be an over-arching, in-universe reason for it, but it's kind of weird that it hasn't come up yet, even in passing. SIX SEASONS AND A MOVIE, NETFLIX, there are MYSTERIES to address!!

You are not wrong! Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing how it all unfolds!
