howdy. So I have this habit of making up new superhero teams .......... or refining existing teams.
when im watching tv and need to doodle, or when i need a mindless break.
Do you all wanna join in, in my habit?
Let's start with the all girl band!!!
(Inspired by my new favorite comic Heralds)
I'll do a list of an all female DC team and an all Marvel female team. (but you can mix and match if you like, or just do one company) can be based on powers, personalities, history together, whatever ....
I think about six members is good. you can add an origin if you want.
(i'm gonna try to do well rounded teams, that might make sense to work together)
banded together to kick some butt. sort of a female Defenders/Avengers.
DC 1. Madame Xanadu (or a good Enchantress) 2. Vixen 3. Firehawk 4. Manhunter (Kate Spencer) 5. Power Girl 6. Nightshade
maybe Madame X brought them together to to stop some cosmic or magical calamity.
something like that.

Ooh, good choices.
I'd be tempted to swap out Firestar for Flamebird and Clea for Snowbird, but Valkyrie, Photon/Pulsar/Captain Marvel 2 and, especially, Moondragon, would totally be on my first draft!
I liked Ms. Marvel better as 'Warbird,' and even then, not terribly much. Could a more-or-less-redeemed/work-in-progress Moonstone / Meteorite fit that role?

Good Enchantress over Madame Xanadu, anyday. And I'd axe Power Girl in favor of Black Orchid, I think. Even with a shirt on, that character is a bit over-exposed, IMO.
I didn't recognize Nightshade, but having looked her up, I like her, so she can stay!

would make for a supernatural defenders type team, maybe photon dosn't fit so much now ... maybe replace with Hellcat but Photon provides a lot of power. and snowbird can do the cat thing. Maybe Moonstone would fit the sense of the team more .... her dark past and their dark supernatural adventures.
I was thinking the team needed more muscle which is why ms. marvel was there. and i was hesitant to do she-hulk. but snowbird might be pretty strong.
and this would make a very edgy team, they could also take on the supernatural or almost be a female suicide squad.
1. good Enchantress 2. Vixen 3. Firehawk 4. Manhunter (Kate Spencer) 5. Black Orchid 6. Nightshade

Well, the original thought was to include her as a cool, fairly obscure, fairly powerful Golden Age character. And, as I said, I wasn't origianlly intending the "female JLA" motif, for which Zatanna would make more sense.
I also thought about resurrecting Dr. Midnight (Beth Chappel).

yeah, i like the not so obvious use of ms. america instead of Power Girl or Super Girl.
I thought about using the female Firebrand from the All Star Squadron, but switched to Firehawk.

DC: Black Orchid Harlequin (Molly Mayne) Shadow Lass Dream Girl Donna Troy Black Canary
Really, these are just lists of my favorites-- though Tasmia and Nura coming to their past to assemble a team of super-heroines could make for a great story. (Platinum and Lilith would take their places if it were an all 21st C. team) Actually, I'd want Imra there, too. For story purposes, I'd sub her for Tasmia. But I'll keep Tas on the list.
I guess former sisters-in-law stuck in space Crystal and Polaris could be the beginnings of a Lockjaw-enabled team-up (maybe it'd start with LJ seeking out Aragorn- who really should be in the Super-Pets book Marvel's putting out...)

Firehawk, especially with the dark blue/red costume and the light blue energy wings, has a freaking awesome visual. She gets my vote on that alone!
quote:Originally posted by Mystery Lad: [QB] MARVEL: Crystal Valkyrie Polaris Darkstar Sif Magma
Ooh, good choices of Darkstar and Crystal, both are faves!
While Sif *or* the Valkyrie could work, I'm not sure I'd want both, since they are awful similar. (And the Valkryie interests me more, as a character.)
On the other hand, a 'Valkryrie' that is Dani Moonstar, fully-transformed into an actual Asgardian via some mystical thing, giving her Valkyrie strength and toughness, combined with her fear-power, could rock!
Super-teams have flirted with the idea of male dieties hanging out with them (Thor, Hercules) for quite some time, but there has been a dearth of female dieties coming down to Earth and joining the capes and cowls club. (Barring Agents of Atlas' Venus, who has since been explained to have never actually been a diety, just a mythological siren!)
Sif is okay, but Freya (seithr witch / leader of the valkyrie / etc. in some accounts), Artemis (a divinely empowered *archer* character), Ratri (a goddess of night, darkness and thievery), Bast (Tigra, if she was a god!) and Kali (multi-armed blade-wielding psycho-babe) could be even more interesting. (Although the Hindu ones would be better served as people with powers that use the names of gods, since Hindu-ism is an active faith, and having the actual Kali running around fighting crime would be about as respectful as introducing a Legionnaire named Jesus Lad...)

Darkstar could even replace Photon on my supernatural 'Defenders' team. except Photon/Capt. Marvel 2 is one of my favorite characters. and underused. she used to lead the Avengers lol!!
Platinum. on another version of this i might do a Jocasta for marvel or some other tech/science character to round out the team. but my teams turned out kinda magic - mythology -esque.

she would be scary. she'd snap ur kneck after she made you pee your pants with her mutant power.
yeah, and Firehawk has a lot more power(s) than Firebrand did.

Yeah- Sif and Valkyrie *could* be seen as characters for whom it'd be 'either, or'- but I'd like to see them together. They were shown as friends back in the SON OF ASGARD series, and I'd like to see that re-examined.
I'd also like to see the whole 'Sif as leader of the Valkyries just before Ragnarok' thing touched upon. AND, in her earlier appearances, she had transdimensional teleportation powers- which I think should be hers again. She could take over for Lockjaw and let him go about his Inhuman doggy business (though I think it'd be funny if he trailed after them- to keep an eye on his mistress and her friends).
I don't know if we'll ever see Val's 'reawakening' post-Ragnarok. She never- or hardly ever- shows up in THOR titles, for some reason. This might be a place to go into that.
I *almost* included Dani- for the Valkyrie trifecta. Maybe she could share a couple of scenes with Sif and/or Val when they show up to recruit Magma...

Hmmm- looking at my heroines list, they could be together as a sort of time travel tour of the 20th century... WWII Molly (still a little 'gray' around the edges, but already hooked up with the FBI), Black Canary from the 1950's- just after the courts made the JSA shut down, Wonder Girl in her teen years-- pony-tail, toga-top and all, and a current day Black Orchid (costumed and mysterious).
Now what could be the reason Imra or Tas and Nura would have for gathering them?

might help if Nura and Tas were from different eras and/or boots? maybe?
a) only Nura and Tas have somehow escaped the Time Trapper's machinations, he has deposited amnesiac legionnaires throughout the time stream, (the eras these ladies are from) and Nura and Tas need help from these other ladies to find their teammates, reunite the legion, and defeat the Trapper.
b) scavenger hunt for birthday presents for Super Boy (other character or special event), might be cool if he was connected to all these other ladies.
c) scavenger hunt for pieces of a weapon or cure to defeat their latest villain or challenge. maybe another time villain.
d) it takes place in the Adventure era, crazy stuff happens.
e) some better idea

Another supernatural or generally odd stuff team:
Zatanna Madame Xanadu The Question Catwoman Alexandra Damaskanos (a time traveler from Chronos who polices time anomalies)
The first three are pretty much cliché for anything out of the ordinary.
I added Catwoman to ground the group (or make the sparks fly) - she doesn't usually get into too much weirdness but she's practical, adaptable and a good thief is always an asset.
Alexandra is also highly adaptable, not to mention tough and a bit short-tempered.
