Yeah, there is a lot of power on my team, but I think that the personalities involved are fun. There can also be rotating guests to round out the power sets.
There's a bit of brain power there and leadership as well.

I think it would be fun to see them interact or try to one up each other ... actually now that I think about it, with so much muscle on the team .... their <gasp> personalities might come out more. other aspects at least ... like She Hulk is as smart and organized as a lawyer ... Hercules should be able to fight really well, not just really on his strength ... and Colossus is agile as well as strong ... which no one plays up anymore. he used to do flips in the old Claremont and Cockrum era. also, he's a cool artists ... and farm boy from Russia.

oooo I like that pick! No Sersi though ? I thought for sure her and the Black Knight would be on your team.
I love Sersi and Black Knight, but it would be a nigh-impossible challenge to compete with the way Harras wrote them, and plus I think there's no real sense of "unfinished business" with either of them, like I feel there is with Crystal, which is why I did include her.

I'm figuring Herc and Colossus would have some bizarre conversations. With Peter just F'ing with him (but coming across totally serious) as much as Herc F's with Peter (with not quite as much luck remaining serious.)

Lately I've been devouring this comic called 'The Boys'. Its a gory adult story based on the concept of one team - backed by the CIA - that needs to keep all the superheroes in line.
There are parallels with a Checkmate type team, the Authority, and probably many others.
Anyway, the Boys comic is pretty dark and the superheros they take out are pretty nasty, much more so than DC. well ... I don't know.
So .... create a team, I'm gonna stick small, that can police the superhero community.
Wonder Woman's gotta do some time for snapping a neck, and I bet even Superman has accidentally dropped a building on some kittens.
I'll do a DC one now, Marvel might be harder.
----------------------------------------
1. Captain Comet
He's tough enough to take out a lot of the big boys and girls and ... he's human, so maybe he sympathizes with the average joe more.
2. Nightshade
She's worked for the government before, she has all this cool training, and lots of pseudo magical shadow powers. Besides shadows seem pretty durable when going up against Wonder Woman.
3. Black Orchid
She's tough, and is great for espionage. I am assuming she can still change her appearance.
4. Captain Atom
Tough and a company man.
5. Steel (John Irons)
The team needs a smart guy, and he's human too. I'll stick with some sort of combo between his battlesuit and the metal body Steel upgrade by Lex Luthor.
6. Firehawk
Wouldn't it be great if when Firestorm dies the power went to Loraine rather than an all new Firestorm. I would reboot her a bit to make her a scientist. (Although a political character would be cool too) A power upgrade of transmutation would come in handy when dealing with Superman. She could snap her fingers and put him into a kryptonite box!
This crew should be able to take all these anti-heroes and morally ambiguous heroes to task for their crimes.
Other characters I considered were:
Tomorrow Woman (II) A new government created android based off of Ivo's tech.
A Green Lantern like John Stewart
Gypsy Her whole family and half her teammates have been killed by superhero shenanigans.
Oracle! Would be great as team leader ... or support ... she knows who's been naughty or nice.
A new Dr. Occult was on my mind too.

I think it's difficult to think of a line-up for Marvel because the recent Civil War storyline dealt with those issues in-depth. My team would try to include members from countries other than the US. In the real world, nations exchange security information so I think it would be similar in the comics.
1. Maria Hill- It seems almost obvious that such a team would be overseen by SHIELD.
2. Union Jack- He would a good super-soldier and since all British super-heroes are members of M-16 he would represent Great Britain.
3. War Machine- He is a trusted military man who is much more reliable than Tony Stark. He provides technical assistance and plenty of firepower.
4. Amazon- She is very obscure, but is a decent brick as well as a German citizen. Germany is a very important part of the European Union, and I think they would want a representative.
5. The Beast- They really wanted to get the Hulk, but he was "unavailable" at the time so they begrudgingly agreed to allow the mutant scientist to take part in the team.
6. Sif- I know this seems a bit odd, but I am having a difficult time finding European super-heroes. I intend for this spot to be the "EU leader representative spot", to rotate with the EU leadership. Denmark doesn't appear to have any representatives in the MU, I think it would be appropriate for them to claim an Asgardian as their own.
Reserves/Affiliates: White Cross- The only Swiss super-hero I could find from Marvel. I like Switzerland, and I think as the center of many of Earth's institutions (and banks) it is only natural that they would want some insight into the world of super-heroes.
Snowbird- From my experiences in China, I know that Canada is very active in the international community. While her powers don't work very well outside of Canada, she could provide help with mystical cases.
Captain China- I have no idea if Marvel is aware of the character's existence, but the book is hilarious. I really can't see Russia or China sending people to partake in a team led by American forces (they see themselves as equals to the US), so their own representatives/teams would make appearances when needed.

I can already see a Black Knight + Dazzler romance!
and besides ... she's fought Galactus (has she been a herald?) and had inter dimensional adventures! She'd be great for the FF.
Justice does need a break, and something fun to do, I miss the fan boy from the New Warriors. And some space adventures would set him up as the eventual Vance Astro/Major Victory (Is he still supposed to turn into the guy from the Guardians of the Galaxy?) Dane's had all kinds of cross dimensional adventures as well!

...and could there not be some sort of tension between Dane and Ali? Any woman you put on the team would probably fall into that with him...his character almost dictates it.
I think that Justice needs to be advanced past his "I'm in awe/inadequacies" phase, and I think that this team would do that.
Also, having an ex villain on the team would be fun, and Abe was my favorite from the original Thunderbolts.

Maybe they were brought together by Lilith or something.

I thought about adding Bushido and Kole, and some others.
for Captain Marvel Jr. I also thought about making him a new version ... Egyptian guy or something. A bit like Osiris. Or maybe Osiris!
