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?
quote: DC 1. Madame Xanadu (or a good Enchantress) 2. Vixen 3. Firehawk 4. Manhunter (Kate Spencer) 5. Power Girl 6. Nightshade
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!
Posted by Power Boy on :
Flamebird? (maybe you mean Fire Bird ex. avenger, fire, pseudo psychic)
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

This came out more "female JLA" than I intended it, but here goes:
1. Wonder Woman 2. Miss America 3. Hawkwoman 4. Mera 5. Miss Martian 6. Jade
Posted by Power Boy on :
cool i was hoping someone would do an all female big (six) JLA!!
you can take one more more and make it big seven female JLA.
why miss america and not zatanna? just curious.
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
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).
Posted by Power Boy on :
she's dead?
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.
Posted by Mystery Lad on :
MARVEL:
Crystal Valkyrie Polaris Darkstar Sif Magma
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...)

quote:Originally posted by Power Boy: I thought about using the female Firebrand from the All Star Squadron, but switched to Firehawk.
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...)

Good ones i forgot about! Mystery Lad.
Crystal Polaris Darkstar Sif Magma
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.
Posted by Mystery Lad on :
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...
Posted by Mystery Lad on :
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?
Posted by Power Boy on :
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.
Posted by Power Boy on :
catwoman on the team sounds great, i can only imagine her spouting biting sarcasm when things start getting all kooky.
i never heard of Alexandra Damaskanos. I'm so curious I tried googling ...

I was trying to think of a team that would be completely at odds with one another but could still get things done:
Wonder Woman Spy-Smasher (from BOP) Batwoman Starfire Zatanna Dr. Light
They're kind of more geared to the grandiose than BoP, which already kind of does exactly this premise in the DCU for spy / mystery related stuff.
Posted by Power Boy on :
YO YO YO.
so, i figured i would do the team creations off of the comics i got this week.
unfortunately not a lot of team books in my basket.
let's do:
NEW AVENGERS!!!
so i think i will do a vigilante, low key avengers similar to who've been running in the comic. but feel free to do a cosmic team, a supernatural team, something offbeat ....... just not a classic big team cause that will probably be a later challenge.
i say about 6 again? (i ended up ding like 8)
1. Spider Man (too much comic relief) 2. Power Man (he's indicative at this point) 3. Moonstone (yes, she's evil, but tough and brillant, and maybe a bit more ont he fence than we think, and not quite the powerhouse that CM 2 or Miss Marvel is, she's phases ..it's sneaky.) 4. Dr. Strange (i think a lower power version like the current one is interesting) 5. Hawkeye 2 (why not, she's like hawkeye but adds a new younger sister dynamic) 6. Hank Pym
so my team seems to be a bit mentally ill, but could make for some great stories and Hank adds the science and the 'classicism'. <---is that a word? and could be a co leader.
it's kinda a team made up of kids that need to get their crap together in some way. they would fight B level threats and villains, and be involved with undercurrents rather than the high profile.
i've taken out the Ms. Marvel / Spider Woman friendship and the Iron Fist / Power Man dynamic too ... but, i think it could still work as a 'family' team.
other ones i considered:
7. Quicksilver 8. Hellstorm 9. Black widow, or maybe a mutant.
I think i would definitely add Quicksilver, while Widow and others make cameos as New Avengers might be interacting with much of the MU.
cheers!
next week i'll try to do a DC ;P so with an edit/reboot post: i would do:
7: Quicksilver 8: She-Hulk (she adds stability and humor. and POWER RAHHR)

7. Quicksilver 8. Hellstorm 9. Black widow, or maybe a mutant.
Dr. Strange, as much as I love him, just doesn't work on this sort of team, IMO. They've tried powering him down to kludge him onto an Avengers made up of street level heroes and jumped up wannabe ninja, but he's just not Dr. Strange, if he can't do any of the stuff that Dr. Strange traditionally does. Another mystical hero like pre-Sorcerer Supreme Brother Voodoo, or pre-power up Dr. Druid, or Daimon Hellstrom, would probably work better in this sort of role.
Amanda Sefton, post-limbo-queen, would probably be awesome in this sort of role. She's got mystic cred, she's got ties to the mutants, and she's built-into the backstory of the setting. With the Scarlet Witch off in 'we made her too powerful and now we can't use her' character limbo, Amanda might provide a nice female presence to Marvel's supernatural lineup.
Moonstone as the team powerhouse? Oh, that's fun. Having her on a team with Hawkeye 2 might be amusing, as they'd snark at each other mercilessly.
Hawkeye 2 could also be powered up a tad, for the 'big leagues,' because she is technically using the Swordsman's sword, which has some Makluan tech built into it, allowing it to shoot force blasts and stuff. (Makluan tech being the stuff that powers the Mandarin's Rings, so it's no slouch!) I could imagine the look on her face the first time she accidentally triggers one of the swords powers...
'Holy crap!' <drops bow> 'Ice beam! Ice beam! Ice beam! Take that, biatches!'
Posted by Power Boy on :
Thanks Set.
yeah i thought moonglow versus hawkeye 2 would be endless laughs...and don't think moonglow could spar with an adult female avenger as well.
and i always wanted hawkeye 2 to bust out with an energy blast or something from those swords.
i'm sticking with dr. strange (personally) for his brain and knowledge of lore rather than his power level.
so the my team now is looking kinda like:
1. Hank Pym (leader and science brain) 2. Luke Cage (leader and vision of the team) 3. Moonstone (redemptive and brilliant energy user) 4. Dr. Strange ( almost going with hellstorm but...too evil and he'll always be a defender to me) 5. Hawkeye 2 (youthful exuberance and moonstone check) 6. Spidey
and into the mix:
7. Quicksilver 8. She Hulk (for cameos)
maybe 9. Eros
not sure, he's more cosmic.
Posted by Set on :
Eros showing up, checking out Hawkeye 2, and getting smacked into orbit by She-Hulk, would be about the only scene I'd need of him. Posted by Power Boy on :
yea, i missed the whole sexual harassment era of eros. i just remember him from the 80s avengers.
i like how he's a cosmic-light hero.
Posted by Power Boy on :
Moonstone and Hawkeye 2 face off:
>)
Posted by Set on :
While I'm not a fan of Eros as a character, I do wish there were more low-grade Uranian Eternals out there. (I think they killed them all, again.)
I like the Eternals power-set, but the ones that tend to join the Avengers (Sersi, Gilgamesh) are usually the insanely over-the-top more-powerful-than-even-a-god Eternals.
It might be fun to see a 'normal' Eternal, who is merely ri-frikken-donkulously overpowered, but isn't necessarily the fastest (Makkari), shapeshiftingest (Sprite), energy-manipulatingest (Ikaris, Thena), strongest (Gilgamesh) or matter-rearrangingest (Sersi) one on the planet.
Or, heck, we don't see nearly enough *Deviant* superheroes. That could be cool!
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
I really liked the "Heroes for Hire" lineup from awhile ago that Ostrander put together. Ant-Man riding a little dragon seemed weird though.
My "Street" Avengers: - Hawkeye (leader) - Falcon - Tigra - Spider-Woman (hmm, a lot of animals on this team...) - Machine-Man - Cloak & Dagger
Posted by Power Boy on :
and Tigra and Jessica Drew both were private I's.
Posted by Power Boy on :
Is it next week already?
Since the only DC team comic I bought this week was LSH 2 ... in which Saturn Queen stars .....
let's do a new Legion of Super Villains to tire out our new LSH.
I'm going to do a core team, but feel free to interpret however you want.
1. Saturn Queen (Eve Aries) 2. Lightning Lord 3. Lightning Lord's twin 4. Cosmic King (the transmuter) 5. a new Chameleon King (based on a tribal leader from the original Durla, who's trying to top Chameleon Boy for leadership or revenge)
6. Lazon (cause his power's awesome and an homage to Beauty Blaze)
7. Atmos (he's got enough reason) 8. a Reincarnated Computo. (or evil Danielle Foccart) 9. Glorith (Time Manip and Sorcery ... not time Trapper status)
This team would be like a Hellfire Club from the X-Men, rising to political power and positions in different ways and forming an alliance to subtly and not so subtly undermine the legion of super heroes. they may be allied at some times with the Dark Circle, Dominators, or Darkseid .... and use lower level bad guys for dirty work like:
1. Shadow Kid (sorry Tasmia ... seems like a good villain) 2. Micro Lad 3. Magno Lad 4. Ol-Vir
and I would like the core group to have a bit more firepower, like Earth Man (but i detest him) or Dev-Em or a Super Man clone. Ol-Vir and Validus just don't have the brains to be more than a henchman in this club.
Myg might have also worked on the inner circle of this team.
Would be nice if computo or someone, (maybe computo + cosmic king) could make super powered clones as cannon fodder.
Posted by Set on :
For disposable flunkies, instead of clones (been there, done that), perhaps the super-villains will have duplicated one of the LSH's origins, semi-successfully. Options;
1) Initially, they would have attempted to just randomly duplicate the Lightning Siblings origin, only to discover that most people, when zapped by Lightning Beasts of Korbal, just die. Most Winathian, it turns out, don't do to well either. Fortunately, they have Mekt, and by using his DNA to gene-therapy some henchmen, they can make them *temporarily* have the powers of lightning generation. Eventually, without fresh shots, to which they develop an immunity, they burn out, but the LSV don't fill them in on this 'retirement plan.' Some flunky or two might end up figuring out that their bosses have doomed them to give them a temporary power up, and turn on them, and it's conceivable that Brainy could discover a technique to de-power them, or use Garth & Ayla's DNA to stabilize them, or something.
Duplicating Sun Boy or Wildfire's origins seem a bit over the top. Cosmic King's origin will likely be un-copy-able (and even if it wasn't, he might not be keen on giving anyone else transmutation powers, since every one other than him and Jan that exists, make their awesome powers that much less precious).
Running around exposing flunkies to 'meteor gases' or 'comet's tails' in the hopes of getting more Colossal Boys or Star Boys or Comet Queens seems like a longshot.
2) Stealing from the cartoon, perhaps they snagged ahold of Dr. Londo, the monster-maker who gave his son animalistic super-powers and then brainwashed him into thinking he's a robot assassin. A bunch of feral brainwashed Timber Wolves? Some perhaps with other animalistic traits (bat-like, snake-like, insectoid?). Beats those masked losers that worked for the real Hellfire Club!
Dr. Londo as one of the 'inner circle,' rarely engaging in any sort of brutish combat himself (but having an interesting array of compounds that allow him to temporarily manifest animalistic traits, for self-defense or escape) could be cool.
3) Another potential source of flunkies (and it could be neat for each of these 'lords cardinal' of the shadow LSV inner circle to have their own flunkies), could be that Durlan. Perhaps, unlike other Durlans, this one is a 'breeder' and can grow homonculous like hive-mind lesser Durlans by budding them off of itself. This Durlan would be kind of like the Dark Rider member Tusk, able to generate 'Underlings' and send them off on missions, and then re-absorb them later to 'download' whatever information they have assimilated during their various missions. Due to the amount of mass it would need to generate, this Durlan would be eating pretty much constantly, and generally appear as an immobile blob of tentacles, that splorches out new humanoid sized 'drones,' some capable of shapeshifting (infiltrators) and some just armored fighting machines (drones).
.
As for the 'core' themselves, I'm not sure if Lazon has the stones for a higher up position. Neutrax has more often seemed like the brains of the Super-Assassins...
Tharok and / or Sarya also seem like good choices for a 'boss' position.

would be interesting if An Ryd could use all her powers at once outmatching Ultra Boy. or if Zera could use all Erg 1's powers, where he could do all kinds of stuff, to add a ton of power to the LSH. also be awesome if she had a human form, making Wildfire sad and jealous.
I don't remember Zera Vultan though? Who's she?

An Ryd's asymmetrical boots and Jean Grey sash fill me with joy.

Zera Vultan is Professor Vultan's daughter, the man who created the Erg suit and saved Drake Burrough's life.

Who's in your Fatal Five?
I'm thinking of a good Fatal Five. in the 5YG, towards the end of the series, when most of the older team retires or advises, and the younger team is too innocent for darker mission.
so a more serious team that handles the rough cases, or political non super hero cases. not too 'black ops' just adult ... like the beginning of the 5YG
1. Rond Vidar - Somehow gets his green mojo back, maybe takes it or half of it from celeste (Neon) could be team leader. and the science guy. 2. Kono - she's sneaky, and way younger than the older team she was on. and she's funny. and ruthless. 3. Duplicate Boy - he's more serious after 5 years, and Lallor was boring. 4. Kent Shakespeare - he could also be the leader, i would supe him up slightly, making his sense heightened as well, like a captain comet character. plus he's smart too. 5. Computo - from SW6, she's a bit more mature than the other SW6 team cause she lived through the domination. and now she's a big Legion fan (the older team). Maybe she needs a little electrical control as well.
three of these guys are super smart, which i think would make for great stories, and Dupe would be the brawn, and Kono the humor/stealth.
I also considered Dragonmage, Dev-em, a not so bad Atmos, older Laurel, some sort of Reflecto based on the original.

I adore the Ann Ryd costume! As far as the ERG-2 goes, I like it a lot. I would like the helmet to look a little more... sinister somehow.
Posted by Mystery Lad on :
My Fatal Five:
Persuader and the Atomic Axe: The Axe would be augmented somehow... maybe showing present/past events on the flat side of the blade?
Emerald Empress and the Emerald Eye: Sarya as needy and bitchy as ever. I kind of liked the addition of a sentient eye from the reboot, but I think it should speak verrrry rarely.
Mano and a spaceship: OK, where I typed in spaceship, I'm holding the place for a poetic-sounding name for a biological spaceship, similar to FARSCAPE's Moya.
Tharok and Validus: When next they appear, Validus is missing a finger or a chunk of shoulder or something which is being replaced by cyborg machinary exactly like Tharok's-- whose control of Validus becomes more and more explicit. Except for when it isn't.
Quicksand, with some object, relic or being in her power. I love her look and her power and have always felt that she's been severely underused and undervalued by LSH creators. I'm tempted to think of her in 'shades of grey', but that slot on this team goes to Mano.
If I were an actual comics writer, I'd never even hint at reforming a villainess- as I think really good, evil ones are rarer than aqua kryptonite.
1st runner-up: Titanor... if Aven can be in both the Wanderer-verse and the current one, why not Titanor? I think he'd be a sub for the Persuader, if only because of their similar builds. I like the idea of a big, brawny, physical fighter who is also a telepath.

I went the other direction in my Emerald Legion story and had Tharok be a member of a large-brained race with two toes and two fingers, resembling a small, thin, Validus. (Of course, it was harder to make the connection, since Tharok had replaced some limbs and Validus was ginormous and distorted.)
A cyborg-ed up Validus might be less about making Validus tougher (since he hardly needs it) and more about providing a nearly indestructible final haven for Tharok's cyborg intelligence. 'Tharok' might fight like a berserker, with no thought to self-preservation, and even blow himself up attempting to kill a Legionnaire, only for it to be discovered that he was controlling that body remotely, and his true intellect now resides with machinery buried deep within Validus, where nothing will ever be able to destroy him, without destroying Validus first!

I haven't read past this point yet, but I wanted to comment on this and ML's Nura/Tasmia idea. It's great!
And I wanted to throw out that the two are connected to other dimensions, Nura to the Dreaming, and Umbra/and the other Tasmia's?, to the Dark/Shadow Realm.
The two may be connected to a crossover in those dimensions, in a way that bridges times and universes. That could draw in the Black Orchid, since she's now from another dimension (Vertigo) and Big Barda (New Gods), as well as Firehawk (Earth's elemental representative) and the female Dr. Fate (magic and another time.)
That covers 6 players. There's no telepath but there doesn't HAVE to be one, although Dr. Fate could introduce a spell to cover communication.
I'd love to see a coming together of villians from a couple of the realms/universes mentioned in an alliance that affects all of the DCU without being a mega event. Someone(s) not used to death already.
The attacks could take place through the Dreaming using the evil minions of Darkness seen in Lo3Ws, perhaps.
Posted by Candle on :
My Female Fatal Five was: Emerald Empress (Cera rather than the tired Sarya) Quicksand (love elementals) Beauty Blaze (because she's so beautiful and mysterious AND she's been shown to be kind of close to Saturn Queen) Saturn Queen Starfinger (a female host, say like McCauley's niece, with Starlight and Starbright still in female form)
They'd be infighting, stuggling for the leadership role and sneaky, very sneaky.
There's not much physical strength but Quicksand has earth power, Cera has the Eye, BB is fire and SQ can snag a powerhouse or two. I'm not sure about Starlight and Starbright, but I'm sure they're pretty powerful and interesting. It's be fun to see what they'd do with a female host with a McCauley brain.
If I were thinking about a Marvel superteam, I'm only currently familiar with the DnA stories using the Imperial Guard, Starjammers, Guardians, Inhumans and other universe Avengers.
I'd use my favorite Marvel females: Crystal and Lockjaw (can't believe how little she's been used over the years) Polaris (with her magnetic powers intact) Scarlet Witch (perhaps finding a new power level, non-magical, as the only one from her universe (along with Vision) who is not controlled by the demons, sorry, I stopped following that story) Phoenix (not the cosmic one but still with powerful TK & TP.) Binary (love that character) Hussar (I think that's the red skinned, whiteblonde one from the Imperial Guard)
With this kind of power, I'd have them written by DnA in their cosmic scaled stories.

List Making and Team Creation is BACK!
with a bang.
I did an LSH this afternoon.
Started being based off the SW6 cause i wanted to do a story with a similar feel but .... hardly any of the sw6 made it in.
check it out! and if anyone's feeling ambitious:
"Who's in YOUR LSH" ?
1. Lightning Lass (a veteran on this team) 2. Magnetic Kid (dosn't have the cast type as leader like Cos. he can just be a great legionnaire) 3. Brainiac 5 (it's not the Legion without him IMO) 4. Andromeda (a bit of a reboot, she's the famous gand as the khund killer) 5. Kent Shakespere (newbie, following in his cousin Andromeda's foot steps) 6. Chameleon (see brainy) 7. Polar Boy 8. Tyroc 9. Wildfire 10. Blok 11. Kinetix ( a replacement of Imra, except she's got TK too, from an accident or mutation, and is a bit of a mash up with the personality of celeste rockfish) 12. Shikari 13. Catspaw 14. Dragonmage 15. Computo (but maybe she's even more robotic like gear, the virus has started to replace some of her human biology) 16. Invisible Kid (maybe Lyle has returned from the after life) 17. Kono (she's got more firepower than Tinya) 18. Power Boy (except he can grow ... replacing Gym) 19. Duplicate Boy (replaces Jo) 20. Quantum Queen (yep old school, and she's a heavy hitter) 21. Element Lad 22. Reflecto (time to flesh out this new heavy hitter) 23. Atmos (He's a powerhouse ... just need to retconn that creepiness (to put it mildly) with Dream Girl) 24. Shadow Lass 25. I thought Kid Quantum #1 but he kinda pales in comparison with Quantum Queen ... maybe sun boy, gates, or a reformed villain ... maybe Validus!! or a hero from the past ... like the 80s past .... not contemporary.
i tried to make a diverse team with regards to gender, aliens, and ethnicities. but it turned out to kinda exclude the adventure era members slightly. and i preferred Computo to Quislet and Kinetix to Tellus.
whatchu think? comments? or your own LSH?

thought of doing a BIG SEVEN VILLAINS to rival the big seven JLA that was going on a few years ago.
1. Lex Luthor puts himself in an Amazo body! he's tired of being kicked around. 2. Black Adam (better as a thunder god type with some weather control) 3. An evil Firestorm. how scary would that be ... he could scatter Supe's Kryptonian molecules to the wind. 4. Chemo. a smart chemo. 5. Parasite. 6. Shade the Changing Man. his suit can become your worst nightmare and he's straddled the line between good and evil before. like an evil empathic GL. 7. Brainiac (?) just added him cause he's a tech character and insanely powerful.

parasite and luthor kinda overlap .... grrr. but they'd both be so badnass.

The problem being, that the JLA don't all have great villains (with Aquaman, Batman, etc. not having a lot of villains well-suited to team work, IMO). Between Lex, Parasite and Brainiac, you've got three Superman villains there, and even a Captain Marvel/Shazam foe! Also, not enough girls!
For the 'evil trinity,' I'd go with;
1. Deathstroke (the anti-Batman, yes, he's not technically a Batman villain, being more of a Teen Titans villain, but he can fill the 'Batman' role on an evil team better than the Joker would! Barring Slade, there's also Prometheus, who fills that sort of role.)
2. Parasite (both Luthor and Brainiac, IMO, are overused, and I don't like the idea of either of them on an actual team, so he's the anti-Superman, and he deserves a little more respect than he's gotten of late, jobbing to Conner recently, when he's about a thousand times scarier than that old bald dude who gets all the movies.)
3. Circe (the anti-Wonder Woman, although, barring a speedster, the Cheetah could work, and even Giganta has potential.)
Which leaves us with; 4. (anti-Green Lantern) 5. (anti-Flash) 6. (anti-Martian Manhunter) 7. (anti-Aquaman)
Sinestro, Atrocitus, etc. seem unlikely to join teams at this point, having their own teams. Someone like Hector Hammond or even some lesser-seen (lately) GL villains, like the Tattooed Man or the Shadow Thief, could fill the anti-GL slot.
Gorilla Grodd is the only seriously badass Flash rogue, IMO. I've got an unwholesome love for the Mirror Master, but he'd be wasted on this team. An evil speedster could work as well, but that's too derivative, IMO. If I wanted this evil Justice League to just be carbon copies, it would be all 'Bizarro, Catman, Sinestro.'
Does Martian Manhunter even *have* a rogues gallery? 'Random White Martian' doesn't really cut it, for a group like this. Maybe Black Adam can fit here... Or something even more out-there, like an evil version of Jason Blood & the demon Etrigan! The team is a bit heavy on the beef, so perhaps this random villain can be a villain-ess.
And Mr. Dances-With-Dolphins. Black Manta is not even a little bit suitable for a group like this, his token appearances in the Legion of Doom notwithstanding. Ocean Master, when he has magical powers, doesn't suck, although he and Circe would be too much magical power in one team (although, if the Cheetah or Giganta are used instead, he'd be the 'mage' of the group). Perhaps here is the perfect place for that smart Chemo? Who better to be the 'anti-Aquaman' than a sentient chemical spill?

An initial stab...
1) Ultra-Humanite 2) Ra's Al-Ghul 3) Queen Bee 4) Invisible Destroyer 5) Clock King 6) The Shark 7) Despero
Posted by Power Boy on :
Ultra Humanite! good one. also could take the body of someone super strong or powerful. I thought the Queen Bee would be good too.
Invisible Destroyer sounds cool, i don't know him personally.
'As a being of pure energy, the invisible destroyer was almost omnipotent, appearing and disappearing at will and capable of producing incredibly powerful energy bolts from his fingertips.'
definite plus there. he would actually be good to take out the Flash as a being of pure energy.
If i did a tit for tat big 7 villains I would do it based on who would really drive the emotional knife in our heros.
(another problem with a typical supes vs. lex, wonder woman vs. cheetah, bats vs. the joker is we've seen the heros kick their butts time and time again for decades)
something like ....
1. Superman - Zod 2. Wonder Woman - Ares 3. Batman - Catwoman (always thought she threw off bats even though I really like her as an anti hero .... maybe Ra's al Ghul instead) 4. Flash - Professor Zoom (He killed his bride!) 5. Green Lantern - Star Saphire 6. Aquaman - Ocean Master 7. J'onn J'onzz - Despero
I would say Despero is J'onn's rogue now.
Posted by Set on :
Ooh, Ultra-Humanite, Queen Bee and Despero are all potentially cool choices!
Given the new Batman-through-the-ages stuff that's happened since Darkseid shot him into the past, it would have been a logical progression for him to have fought Vandal Savage, throughout the shadowy parts of human history, forever foiling his plots, and for them to be new arch-nemeses.
Posted by Power Boy on :
that sounds like a graphic novel waiting to happen.
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Here's a little of what I was thinking with my choices:
1) I've always wanted to see UH reinstated as a major Supes foe. The best Supes stories are the ones in which the villain can potentially deceive/outsmart him, rather than someone who just tries to outpunch him.
2) The thing about Batman is that he's someone who has trained himself to be the ultimate crimefighter. So, I wanted to match him against someone who was kind of the ultimate criminal. A lunatic like the Joker didn't really seem to work. Among his rogue's gallery, Ra's seemed the most like the Moriarty to Batman's Holmes.
3) Wonder Woman is from an island of women and comes to Man's world to help promote peace. So I thought I'd match her with a matriarch from another world who tries to enslave outsiders. Hence Queen Bee.
4) Invisible Destroyer was, as I recall, GL's first villain, and he's never made a comeback. It seems like it's about time. Definitely a powerhouse.
5) I wanted someone who would be an interesting challenge for a super-speedster, without using another super-speedster. So, what about someone who is a master of using time to his advantage? I was thinking of Batman: The Animated Series portrayal of the Clock King. As far as actual Flash villains, I think the Turtle could probably be used to similar effect, but I've never read anything with him
6) I looked at a list of Aquaman villains and, you know what, the Shark is *really* scary. So I picked him.
7) J'Onn really doesn't seem to have any interesting villains of his own, but Despero was one of the first JLA villains, and seemed to be a nice match, so...
Posted by Power Boy on :
So I think EDE nailed the previous one ^
... and I've been catching up on a lot of Birds of Prey to see what the hype was about.
I thought of a way to go with it. (not so much different)
I'm feeling loyal to Oracle/Batgirl so let me just pretend the concept dosn't work without her.
I'd start with the semi-retired JLA members of the satellite era. Ladies Babs knows from her superhero days.
1. Oracle 2. Black Canary 3. Hawkgirl
(3.5, 3.6 would be Firehawk and Zatanna - semi regular guest stars)
4. I'd give oracle an assistant. Maybe someone who used to work at star labs. I always liked Dr. Janet Kylburn. The BOP needs a lot of weapons and tech for just poor Babs. And Dr. Kylburn won't turn into Rampage.
5. I'd also think about getting Babs a major domo/ body guard/ like the Red Tornado.
6. Tons of guest stars from the JLA days. Supergirl, Vixen ...
Another person I'd really like to see incorporated is the Black Orchid.
Posted by Power Boy on :
A little Donna Troy in there for good measure.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Not a Marvel fan, so I'll stick to DC. I like the all-female teams, so...
JLA:
1. Dr. Light (criminally underused) 2. Wonder Woman 3. Black Canary 4. Vixen 5. Fire 6. Ice
quote:Originally posted by Cobalt Kid: I was trying to think of a team that would be completely at odds with one another but could still get things done:
Wonder Woman Spy-Smasher (from BOP) Batwoman Starfire Zatanna Dr. Light
They're kind of more geared to the grandiose than BoP, which already kind of does exactly this premise in the DCU for spy / mystery related stuff.
I love this one. Lots of drama potential here!
quote:Originally posted by Lone Wolf Legionnaire: Here's two new/old characters with axes to grind against a couple of Legionnaires I would like to see in the LSV.
An Ryd (Ultra Girl)
Zera Vultan (Erg-2)
And I like this one, too. Maybe An and Zera could go head-to-head versus Tinya and Dawnstar.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
My LSH:
1) Kinetix - powerful, versatile AND my favorite. Not letting her go. 2) Gates - no way I'd say no to a teleporter. 3) Brainiac 5 - automatic advantage to any team 4) Saturn Girl - ditto 5) Wildfire - for the power 6) Shikari - knowing where to go can help with any mission 7) Andromeda - I always preferred her to Mon-El or Ultra Boy 8) Sensor Girl - in any combat situation, she could potentially win a whole battle herself... 9) Gear - any enemy that uses tech will fall to him 10) Infectious Lass - and she can take care of any organic enemy 11) Element Lad - preboot Jan made the Legion his home, and was one of the most dedicated members. The Legion needs people like that. 12) Polar Boy - someone else who never lost enthusiasm for the team. 13) Nightwind - always felt she was robbed of her chance on the team 14) Live Wire - Postboot Garth is one of my faves 15) Karate Kid - Legion combat trainer! 16) Chameleon 17) Dragonmage or White Witch 18) Shrinking Violet (Postboot) - grows AND shrinks 19) Kid Quantum II 20) Dreamer - was toying with making her support staff instead of a field agent, though, so I could have more Legionnaires on the team 21) Monstress - I know she doesn't add much, power-wise, but I like her personality and see a role for her as "den mother" 22) XS 23) Umbra - "energy caster with an attitude" sums it up nicely 24) Power Boy - with density control that allows him to phase as well as become more solid! 25) Gravity Kid - a bit redundant given Kinetix, but their powers are varied enough
I threw in the last two because I like the idea of having a gay couple on the team as well.
Posted by Mystery Lad on :
How about a new Secret Six?
Starting with a Mockingbird-- I'm leaning towards one of the *original* Six. The ones who were extraordinary but non-meta individuals from the 1960's.
TRICKSTER-- definitely James Jesse, mysteriously back from the dead and straddling the line between good and bad guy. And milking the gray for all its worth.
DUELA-- not the gal who got killed in whatever event it was she was in, but her counterpart on whatever Earth it is this lineup would be inhabiting. She'd be sane with moments of crazy, rather than the other way around. She'd go by Harlequin's Daughter and have a similar attention-grabbing m.o. to her 'mother's', with Trickster as her object of affection. The 'duel' part of Duela's the focus-- as this version is a weapon mistress. With a very liberal definition of weapon.
ALPHA CENTURION-- his memory of ancient Rome is used heavily. Though the most heroic, his sense of entitlement comes into play.
ICICLE-- the younger. Tigress is raising their child, but makes guest appearances as an unoffical secret seventh. Turns out that Mockingbird pays better than villainy and after a disheartening 'rat-out' from old Injustice Society teammates, Cameron's ready to make 'the turn'.
NZAME-- of Gorilla City. Albino ape that can heal. I don't remember if the character was male or female; I'm hoping female. Expected to be the personification of simian good, adolescent Nzame's going through a rebellious phase. A destructive one. In fact, she's been banished from Gorilla City.
TATTOOED MAN-- the new one, but wearing Abel Tarrant's costume. He's just been booted out of his family, his neighborhood and his old team. Yet, somehow, he's not angry about any of it. He's determined to find out who he is and get paid well while doing so.

May 2012 THE AVENGERS!!!!
So I did this list last night and I really like it:
1. Wasp - reincarnated in Jocasta's body, she gets all kinds of cyborg powers and looks like a col metallic wasp woman. leader ish. 2. Thor - one of the founders who's not totally evil and/or cray cray. 3. Captain Marvel - Carol Danvers. This team needs a marvel IMO. (replaces another captain ... could be a co leader) 4. Power Man - Luke Cage but let's give him some growing powers from Pym particles! an homage to the original giant Man. 5. Dr. Strange 6. The Sentry - resurrected and good, with no memory of evilness again --- or a new person with the sentry's powers. 7. Nova. He's cool. and flies fast. and deserves his place in THE Marvel team. he's got his own book and stuff sometimes too. 8. Firestar - mostly because she's still nice. (she was on a a cartoon too!) 9. Hulkling - a homage to the hulk. and he's almost ready. 10. Hawkeye 2 - Kate Bishop and she's almost ready.
I like having the team be multigenerational (over the history of the Avengers), and a training ground for over achieving young avengers. (could cause a lot of friction with the other YA's but maybe they get thair own book with a few of these elder Avenegrs as their teachers. Plus ... Hulkling and Hawkeye seem to be two of the more stable ones ... and I liked using them to fill a *homage* gap. I wanted to reference the original and mainstay avengers.
I also think they need a lot of firepower ... hence Sentry, Dr. Strange, suped up Wasp and Ms. Marvel. etc. they ARE supposed to be earth's mightiest heroes!
I think Hank Pym could play a supporting/tech role and Justice/Marvel Boy could be a *teacher* for the new additions and the other YA's. also we get to have him and Firestar together/interact.

I want to do this one!
1. Thor 2. Scarlet Witch 3. Ms. Marvel 4. Captain America 5. Vision 6. Hank Pym 7. Black Widow 8. Black Panther 9. Firestar (I think she was at her best in Avengers) 10. Iron Man (even though he bores me)
Posted by Fanfic Lady on :
Peebs, I promise I will post a list here within the next couple days.
Posted by Fanfic Lady on :
Okay, here goes...
1. Black Widow - chairwoman
2. Hawkeye - field commander
3. Quasar - one of those characters that's just a nudge away from fulfilling their potential
4. Ant Man - Scott Lang
5. Giant-Man - Hank Pym
6. Vision
7. Crystal
8. Wonder Man
9. She-Hulk
10. Power Princess - yes, moving from Squadron Supreme to Avengers, why not?
Posted by Set on :
So hard to pick just 10! I'll try to stick to characters who don't generally have their own books, and so wouldn't be over-exposed, or sucked into crossovers.
1) Wonder Man - always consider a second-tier 'tank' behind people like Thor or the Hulk, it's time for him to be the big gun!
2) Beast - Dr. McCoy (no! the other one!) returns to complete the epic bromance with Simon.
3) Hank Pym - who knows what he's calling himself this week, but he's got the goods.
4) The Wasp - reports of her death have been greatly exagerrated!
5) Ms. Marvel - another flying powerhouse, who may not punch at Wonder Man's weight levels, but she's also got energy powers and limited cosmic awareness.
6) Monica Rambeau - 'cause the team totally needs two people who've gone by the name 'Captain Marvel.'
7) U.S. Agent - not the first Captain America, not the best Captain America, but he's got the heart for the job.
8) Human Torch - the original android super-hero and the original Human Torch, Jim Hammond, man out of time, on a team with the completely wrong Captain America, and not afraid to point that out.
9) Spider-Woman (Julia Carpenter) - not the only member of this team who is getting annoyed at having to say, 'No, not that one, the other one!'
10) Moondragon - is slumming hanging with a team at this level, and won't hesitate to say so. Expresses frequent regret that someone 'first tier' like Sersi or Thor isn't present 'to do the heavy lifting.' Competing with the departed Dr. Druid for the titles of 'least popular Avenger, ever' and 'most likely to die in a friendly fire incident.' Most annoyingly, she's an Iron Fist level martial artist, a telepath with global mind control abilities able to push her way past Galactus' mental defenses and a telekinetic able to block Thor's hammer, so, to the annoyance of all, she backs up her attitude...

I'd love for an updated Wasp to be able to control a swarm of adamantium robots the size and shape of wasps. In addition to her own powers, which are fine on their own, access to such a secondary power, would jazz her up considerably. Alternately, something Pym's always been able to do, but rarely bothered doing, she can already use Pym particles to enlarge stuff (usually only to grow back to normal size, after she shrinks), *and* she can control swarms of insects. It would be an 'OH YEAH!' moment if, in the middle of an alien invasion or something, she summoned up thousands of wasps or ants or bees and enlarged them to the size of volkswagons and sent her giant insect horde to fight the aliens.

A lot of muscle there!
Some characters I wanted to incorporate but didn't:
Eros Captain Marvel 2
and my team isn't diverse enough so I thought about switching out Firestar for Firebird but I don't like her as much as Angelica.
Posted by Dev - Em on :
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.
Posted by Power Boy on :
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.

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.

June 2012
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.
Posted by Emily Sivana on :
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.

4. Medusa? (might be funny. maybe she goes amnesiac again or something and thinks she's evil.hence crystal getting the FF together.)
The FF seem to have a lack of female enemies!!!!
Posted by Dev - Em on :
My Fantastic Four:
1) The Black Knight - C'mon, he's a scientist, strategist and leader. Besides being my fave Marvel character.
2) Dazzler - To see what I could do with her.
3) Justice - Cause he needs a break, and then Firestar can be brought in for adventures without upsetting the balance.
4) Mach 1 - The former Beetle and Thunderbolt.
Posted by Power Boy on :
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!
Posted by Dev - Em on :
I thought it was somewhat rounded.
...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.

That sounds like a good start though. At the moment I am intrigued by how these characters would interact ... would Power Boy and CMJR try to one up each other, be great friends, or hate each other ... all because of their similarities.
Usually people try to balance a team and diversify but ... if I were putting a team together I'd want them all to be Supergirl class! Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Titans LA seems to me to be the team for "lesser" C-list and below heroes to try and make good, plus act as a support group/family, so...
All are Pre-Flashpoint versions.
1) Beast Boy 2) Flamebird
like the dynamics of these two as co-leaders
3) Terra II
her jealousy towards Flamebird would have added a lot of nice drama!
4) Bushido
though I don't want to turn him into another X-23 struggling to "Not kill"
5) Kole
I'd find a way to bring her back. She had all the making of a great hero. She kicked ass in Crisis despite being relatively inexperienced!
6) Blue Beetle (Jaime)
I think he's up in the upper tiers of C-list, or maybe even B-list now, but he's also, for the longest time, been written as someone still trying to come to terms with his new heroic identity.
7) Magenta
Maybe here she can finally get the help she needs to STAY sane!
8) Captain Marvel Jr.
He's often written as someone who wants to find other heroes his age to hang with.
9) Bumblebee 10) Herald
I see them as being some of the voices of reason on the team, since they're among the older ones. Probably not showing up as often as the others.
11) Hero Cruz
I'm just wary of him becoming a deus ex machina due to the H-Dial, maybe tweak the Dial to give him a handful of identities only.
12) Miss Martian
Sounds like a good choice to me too, especially since she seems ambivalent to being on the "main" team!
13) Ravager (Rose)
I think the more loose-knit vibe of this team will appeal to her.
14) Damage
As someone who's damaged goods... well, you know.
15) Argent
I can picture her being all "when I was with the main team we did blah blah blah".

Wow! Nice image, LWL - and nice lineup too! It's really nice seeing them all together.
I never liked Azrael, and don't know much about the Protector, but would love to see all the rest.

quote:Originally posted by Mystery Lad: How about a new Secret Six?
Starting with a Mockingbird-- I'm leaning towards one of the *original* Six. The ones who were extraordinary but non-meta individuals from the 1960's.
TRICKSTER-- definitely James Jesse, mysteriously back from the dead and straddling the line between good and bad guy. And milking the gray for all its worth.
DUELA-- not the gal who got killed in whatever event it was she was in, but her counterpart on whatever Earth it is this lineup would be inhabiting. She'd be sane with moments of crazy, rather than the other way around. She'd go by Harlequin's Daughter and have a similar attention-grabbing m.o. to her 'mother's', with Trickster as her object of affection. The 'duel' part of Duela's the focus-- as this version is a weapon mistress. With a very liberal definition of weapon.
ALPHA CENTURION-- his memory of ancient Rome is used heavily. Though the most heroic, his sense of entitlement comes into play.
ICICLE-- the younger. Tigress is raising their child, but makes guest appearances as an unoffical secret seventh. Turns out that Mockingbird pays better than villainy and after a disheartening 'rat-out' from old Injustice Society teammates, Cameron's ready to make 'the turn'.
NZAME-- of Gorilla City. Albino ape that can heal. I don't remember if the character was male or female; I'm hoping female. Expected to be the personification of simian good, adolescent Nzame's going through a rebellious phase. A destructive one. In fact, she's been banished from Gorilla City.
TATTOOED MAN-- the new one, but wearing Abel Tarrant's costume. He's just been booted out of his family, his neighborhood and his old team. Yet, somehow, he's not angry about any of it. He's determined to find out who he is and get paid well while doing so.
I would read that, oh yes!

Avengers -
throwing in some powerful females (both powers and attitude):
12) Ze Tongue - he seemed silly, but was surprisingly effective
13) Dr. Regulus
14) Chameleon Chief
15) Cosmic King
16) Twine
17) Quicksand
18) Flare
19) Zymyr
20) Storm Boy (talk about messed up!)
21) Satan Girl - can be a new Daxamite, but the mysterious Satan Girl was more interesting than Ol-vir so...
22) Brainstorm - the mean telekinetic sounds like a good fit
23) Charma (Postboot) - can mind-control men, this should be interesting!
24) Caress
25) Nemesis Kid
I left out majority of the Earth super-rejects - I didn't find most of them particularly compelling.

Wow, awesome lineup! Love the inclusion of the overlooked Traci 13 and Connor Hawke. Having Boomer is interesting too.
And all the photos are awesome!
Posted by Future on :
I think it'd be interesting, especially after her apprenticeship under Batwoman, to have Flamebird become a capable heroine and detective. Then, have her go on to form her own iteration of Titans West as a place for her and others to prove themselves. That'll show that Nightwing!
It'd be fun to throw in some of the "new heroes" of the past twenty years who didn't go on to stardom, like say Prysm, Joto, Lagoon Boy, or Zatara. Maybe throw in a more balanced Magenta giving heroing a true shot. Could be fun to have a more established Titan join the team out of curiosity, say Gar or Vic, but taking a backseat to Bette's leadership to give her a genuine shot at making it work.
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
I think Gar would be perfect. He and Bette have proven chemistry, and Gar knows what it's like to be dismissed as out of his league.
Posted by Power Boy on :
Create the UNCANNY AVENGERS
I decided to go visual this time too!
The core team would be:
1. Storm 2. Nova 3. Captain Marvel 4. Nightcrawler 5. Adam Warlock 6. Rachel Grey Junior or Probationary members (but full time to me) 7. Hawkeye 2 8. Power Man 2 9. Sunfire (Its been a long time since he hasn't been f-ed up)
with Power Man, Prodigy, and Vision playing organizing but not quite field roles.
And Molly Hayes will be around. being cute. and she needs guardians.

Posted by Power Boy on :
Their first mission could involve the Kree or a Kree invasion ... since there are so many space/kree characters on the team.
Maybe the Kree come in and try to experiment on mutants to create weapons.
Posted by Fanfic Lady on :
1. Moonstar (leader) 2. Crystal 3. Beast 4. Ant-Man (Lang) 5. Rachel 6. She-Hulk (Jen) 7. Rogue 8. Quasar 9. Ariel (she's always had potential) 10. Vision
Posted by Power Boy on :
I thought about putting Scott Lang in as well!
I like Moonstar as leader of a big team ! she was a shield agent afterall.
Posted by Fanfic Lady on :
Moonstar is one of my favorite characters. I've been wanting to put her in the Avengers for years.
Posted by Power Boy on :
She is one of my favorites too.
The one cool thing about "Uncanny Avengers" versus "Uncanny X-Men" ... is you don't need powers and some of your cohort may not have them either.
that's why I wanted to throw Prodigy on a team with Hawkeye and others that may need to be more creative with crime fighting. Even Luke Cage is just a big tough guy.
Posted by Power Boy on :
Although they need to stop with messing up her powers. Soon she's gonna switch ethnicity like Psylocke.
Posted by Set on :
If it's an X-Men/Avengers lineup, I'd go with;
1. Beast 2. Wonder Man 3. Scarlet Witch 4. Quicksilver 5. Rogue 6. Hawkeye (leader) 7. Wasp
All very 'old-school' choices, I know!
The original X-Men/Avenger tie, IMO, is the Beast and Wonder Man. Wanda and Pietro are obviously the *real* 'original' tie between the two teams, and the first mutant Avengers, but Simon and Hank are the first two *friends* among the two teams.
Hawkeye, as the sole non-powered guy, and the oft-times outsider-looking-in / perspective-guy, to keep the team focused on the bigger picture.
Rogue has a history with the Avengers, as well as the X-folk, which should be fun to play off of.
The Wasp is there because I want her back, but also has a vague mutant tie-in from her possibly soon-to-be retconned backstory (to bring her more in line with her Ultimates incarnation, the root of her powers may well involve mutation, with Hank Pym not merely experimenting on his girlfriend for the kicks of it, but because her awakening bio-electric powers predated his experiments and were wreaking havoc on this young socialites social life!).
Other possibilities; 8. Hawkeye 2 (two archers on the same team, with the same codename? Madness!) 9. Moondragon (wouldn't be an X-team without a telepath, and why not a telepathic *Avenger?* Just not Mantis. Never Mantis. *Shudder*) 10. Iceman (Bobby never gets taken seriously, this could be his place to shine!) 11. Angel/Archangel (Perhaps more in need of being taken seriously than even Bobby, since they keep changing him up...) 12. Amanda Sefton (not a mutant, nor an Avenger, but a mutant-adjacent sorceress with ties to both teams, as an option to replace the Scarlet Witch) 13. Bishop (is he a bad-guy or good-guy this week? I don't even know anymore, but if the team didn't already have Rogue, he could be an interesting choice)

I suppose an argument could be made that all super heroes are mutants and some event just triggered it ... because radioactive spider bites don't usually give super powers ... usually it just kills the spider haha!
Anyway, there is Hawkeye + Hawkeye action in the Hawkeye series and the writer is really gifted ... but its pretty cool ... besides I suppose the both have all kinds of non archery weapon skills.
Anyway(2), Beat and Wonder Man together would be great, and Beast has already been an avenger and he's super smart. and I love the Wasp.
I kind of hope they don't bring her back just to f her up.
There is a strange Brotherhood of Evil mutants connection with these three:
3. Scarlet Witch 4. Quicksilver 5. Rogue
could be cool.

Agreed!
I think it's about time that one of the Pym-club (and why not make it Janet?) start using Pym particles to enlarge the insects they control, and attack some fool with an army of ants the size of buses.
Heck, Pym could field his own team of Avengers, if he wanted.
He's more or less responsible for his own super-hero career (under five or six different aliases), an additional two Ant-Men, an additional Yellowjacket (Rita), the Wasp, Atlas (of the Thunderbolts), Jocasta, Cassie Lang (as Stature, and her alternate future self as Stinger), an additional Giant-Man (Clint Barton's brief stint as GM), Black Goliath and Victor Mancha (of the Runaways, his 'grandson' by way of Ultron).
quote: There is a strange Brotherhood of Evil mutants connection with these three: 3. Scarlet Witch 4. Quicksilver 5. Rogue could be cool.
Ooh, I hadn't made that connection! Neat.
I realized after the fact that I'd made an 'Avengers' team with four out of seven being mutants, but since two of them (Wanda and Pietro) have never been X-Men, I didn't feel like I was weighting the team unfairly in an X-direction.
You could probably field an entirely mutant Avengers team, by adding in Justice and Firestar and possibly Rage (was he a mutant? don't recall...), but those characters don't really appeal to me as much.
And then there's Wolverine (or even Daken), but, no. Posted by Dev - Em on :
Not sure on all of these characters current whereabouts...but here is my crew.
1. Capt. America (Steve Rogers) - Leader, face it...pretty much anyone is going to listen to him 2. Photon (Monica Rambeau) - because she deserves a real chance. 3. Hulkling - I don't know a ton about him and Wiccan, but I really like what I know of them. 4. Wiccan - see above. 5. Nightcrawler - (Kurt Wagner) - Because he needs to come back and really join the big time. 6. Shadowcat - (Kitty Pryde) - she has the training to hold her own. 7. Sasquatch (Walter Langkowski) - Scientist and powerhouse, [plus I like the character.) 8. MACH VI (Abe Jenkins) - Need a tech guy, and I think Abe fits the bill. 9. Cypher (Doug Ramsey) - playing more of a support role, he develops into a sort of Oracle character for the team, and becomes the teams ace pilot (leading to less crashed Quinjets). Constantly translating and finding information as the team operates. Feeding them through specialized communicators.
edited to correct some spacing and spelling issues...

Cool choices! I'm a huge fan of Monica Rambeau and Nightcrawler, so those two are a great choice. Wiccan is a good choice, for the tie-in to Wanda, and where he goes, Hulkling is sure to follow.
Abe as the 'team tech' for an Avengers team sounds awesome. In the presence of Fixer/Techno, he always came across as second-fiddle, and Fixer being a big jerk did nothing to help that.
Sasquatch was always a favorite, and him as an Avenger 'big hitter' is cool!

yeah cool! Photon really does deserve a chance, and Nightcrawler's swordsmanship and leadership of Excalibur just make him Avengers material to me.
Hulkling and Wiccan jumped up quickly from the young crowd and seem nearly as capable and more appealing (to me) than their crazy adult counterparts.
also ... Kitty Pryde .... Kitty Pryde .... she's perfect.
ooooo and kitty and doug working together again .... magic! unless he's weird evil warlock doug or something.
Sasquatch is also INSPIRED!

Doug is back to being his normal self. No weird stuff...cause I missed all that anyway.

I thought of an interesting one for a FUTURE FANTASTIC FOUR:
Franklin Richards - Super Psi. Leader. pretty smart. Valeria Richards - in an android body. She was killed and resurrected in an android body, talks to computers and tech powers now. still super duper smart. Black Bolt Jr. - He's the tough guy of the team. like Superman. Could be Ahuru, through the Terrigan mists ... or not. Jack Power - He's got the full Power Pack power set. (whether they are dead or retired) He's still a riot. Maybe he learned to teleport like Kofi too!
Posted by Power Boy on :
heh heh I got a sketch for a FUTURE X-MEN!
1. Prodigy 2. Layla Miller 3. Molly Hayes 4. Hisako/Armour 5. Trauma 6. Thunderbird II (Neal Shaara) 7. Anole 8. Pixie
I tried to stay away with the latest crop of X-Kids since they are uber powerful and i wanted to get the future X-Men back to their underdog roots. I imagine Prodigy and Layla keep the team one step ahead of their enemies. I also wanted to keep the Summers and Grey's legacies away from this team.
[ November 05, 2012, 05:17 PM: Message edited by: Power Boy ]

Another one ... FUTURE AVENGERS
(again I am staying away from the typical legacies)
1. Justice renamed Astro! 2. Firestar 3. Speed 4. Hawkeye II Kate Spencer 5. Darkstar 6. Living Lightning 7. Marvel Boy Noh-Varr 8. Power Man II
and if they need more strength maybe Thena's son Joey. He goes by "Joey". kicks butt. Half Eternal is still way more Eternal than most people. Except he might conflict with Marvel Boy.
I thought about putting Trauma on this team instead of the X-Men. He could be the magic-esque user ... but the goth kid seemed so right on the X-Men.

From the ashes of Legends ... the Giffen, J. M. DeMatteis, and Maguire Justice League came to combine action and comedy.
If you had to do it, what members would you pick from the Legends mini series / crossover to form an all new Justice League ?
Below is a list of most of the characters from the series.
(I'll probably pick about 9 just like Giff and JMD)
1. Captain Marvel 2. Dr. Fate 3. Batman 4. Black Canary 5. Blockbuster 6. Captain Boomerang 7. Changeling 8. Deadshot 9. Enchantress 10. Firestorm 11. Flash (Wally West) 12. Green Lantern -Guy Gardener 13. Cosmic Boy 14. Rick Flagg 15. Robin (Jason Todd) 16. Superman 17. Blue Beetle 18. Wonder Woman 19. Elongated Man 20. Gypsy 21. Martian Manhunter 22. Steel (He died during Legends but ... whatev) 23. Vibe (See 22) 24. Vixen 25. Nightgirl 26. Element Lad 27. Phantom Stranger 28. Sarge Steel 29. Warlord 30. Lightray 31. orion 32. Kilowog - Green Lantern 33. John Stewart - Green Lantern 34. Hal Jordan - Green Lantern 35. Arisia - Green Lantern 36. Salaak - Green Lantern 37. Katma Tui - Green Lantern 38. Ch'P - Green Lantern
(By no means an exhaustive or exclusive list, feel free to add)
Posted by Power Boy on :
I did an interesting version and a big bad old fashioned version.
I'll share the *interesting* version first.
1. Sarge Steel (maybe leader) 2. Warlord (would be weird, maybe great, maybe funny) 3. Bronze Tiger 4. Changeling 5. Flash (Wally West) 6. Enchantress (a few evil jokes may be funny. The Guy Gardener of the team.) 7. Blue Beetle 8. Cosmic Boy 9. Wonder Woman (this was a brand new Wonder Woman at this point. savage Amazonian humor ensues. Maybe keeps Enchantress in check.) 10. Green Lantern - Arisia (cute and innocent - hilarity ensues)
and maybe Firestorm
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
So, I went with a "Who would I put in a post-Crisis JLA?" scenario more than anything. One of the neat things about the all-new Justice League is that it kind of represented the merging of the different realities that came together in Crisis, so I tried to use that idea as well.
1. Superman -- DC's flagship character.
2. Batman -- DC's other flagship character.
3. Wonder Woman -- DC's most famous female character, in newly rebooted form.
4. Captain Marvel -- Fawcett's Big (Red) Cheese. Also neat as kind of combining elements of Superman and Wonder Woman.
5. Plastic Man -- Quality's biggest star.
6. Phantom Lady -- Probably Quality's second biggest star. Another classic female character.
7. Blue Beetle -- representing Charlton. Also, he and Cap form a kind of counter-Supes and Bats.
8. Jade -- Representing Earth-2 as well as the team's "Green Lantern".
9. Obsidian -- It just seems like he should be there with Jade as the team's "Wonder Twins".
10. Flash (Wally West) -- Because nothing says "post-Crisis reality" like Wally West as Flash.
I stopped with ten, though I would've like to add Black Lightning and/or Vixen for diversity. I also like the idea of throwing in a New God or someone from the 30th century, but didn't do so.
Posted by Power Boy on :
ooo this looks fantastic ... a Superman new to leadership, a Batman unused to working in groups, and a crazy Amazon new to the outer world.
Combined with a naive Captain Marvel and a green Blue Beetle in over their heads!
I love Phantom Lady, she could ground this group.
And It would be fun to see the young Jade and Obsidian as over achieving second generation heroes!
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
Here's mine, mostly taken from Legends but adding some who weren't present. Hey, the writers threw Mr. Miracle in and he didn't show up...
I'm thinking of a team that would make a good mix of power and hilarity.
1) Wonder Woman (explore her "newness" to man's world
2) Blue Beetle
3) Guy Gardner
4) Martian Manhunter
(the above 3 just worked so well)
5) Doctor Light (make her a little bit bitchier)
6) Black Canary (would be interesting to see how she plays off the other two gals, and the rest of the team)
7) Captain Marvel (captain whitebread!)
8) Firestorm (for the power... and I think he'd get along with Ted. But I'd much prefer Booster Gold...)
9) Fire
10) Ice
11) Power Girl
12) Metamorpho
^ i threw in the above because they just worked so well!
