MERGE: Fantasy Superhero Teams

[dupersuper]

Team books are a big market out there, particularly for Marvel. With every team you have a couple of people you like, a couple of people you don't care for, and missions can be all over the place. So here is my challenge.

Create your own Marvel Superhero team!
1: Who would be on it?
2: What would their primary mission be?
3: Who would you want to write it?

Lets go.

Justice League Marvel:
Spidey
Cap
Hulk
Thor
Iron Man
Giant Man (Pym)
Wasp (Jan)
Ant Man (Lang)
Blue Marvel
Daredevil
She-Hulk
Spider Woman
Captain Mar-Vell
Ms. Marvel
Photon
Justice
Firestar
Namor

defend Earth, written by Mark Waid

Universal Defenders:
Silver Surfer
Sentry
Thor
Dr. Strange
Gladiator
Adam Warlock
Starlord
Nova
Quasar
Firelord
Sif
Beta Ray Bill

defend universe, written by Grant Morrison

Every Team Reserves:
Spidey
Wolverine

the 2 heroes that any team can call when they need a hand (might as well make it official), rotating creative team

• El Ogro - A Spanish “hero” of mysterious background (it’ll be suggested that he may be a Troll, a renegade Deviant or even an ugly Eternal) whose power rivals that of Captain Britain (Strength, invulnerability and fire breathing) and who is with the team for all the wrong reasons (namely the Spanish government didn’t want anything more to do with him). El Ogro is a lazy, obnoxious, rude being, who does what he wants, when he wants, and, while this doesn’t make him the perfect teammate, his power, when he decides to use it, more than makes up for it.

If you want to create an spaniard superhero, you should use a warlock. Spanish legends are thick with warlocks; Satan´s school of dark arts was located in a cave below Salamanca, after all. It was said that, as payment for his services, the demonic headmaster would pick the soul of one of his students per classroom. If a student tried to escape before time, he would lose his shadow, being marked as a warlock and becoming an outcast forever.

Take the marchis Enrique de Villena (a real person who really did exist), for example: The grandson of Enrique II of Castile, Great Master of the Order of Calatrava (a spanish version of the Templars), a knight, scholar, sage, healer, alchemist, astrologist and wizard who was said to have studied at the Dark School of Salamanca (he is said to have lacked a shadow, but concealed it with glamours). Legend says he tried to turn himself into an immortal undead: When he was about to die, he told his most trusted servant to mash his whole body into a paste, mix it with an elixir or immortality, put the mix into a glass artificial womb, and let it brew until he was reborn (of course he was discovered and destroyed).

This idea has probably been already suggested, but I'm not going to read through 40 pages to make sure it's original... anyway:

Marvel Royalty
This title would be all about international politics in the Marvel Universe. It would involve basically any Marvel character who runs a country, and would sometimes involve real life characters too (albeit silhouetted). What happens when Utopia's status as a sovereign nation is revoked by the United States? Is Thor worried about the status of Asgard? Then, how do these characters react when conflict breaks out between Latveria and Wakanda?

See how the Marvel Royalty deals with real issues like natural disaster, economic crisis and war. Not everything can be solved by sending in a superteam to fix the problem, and some difficult, possibly amoral decisions must be made. International superheroes galore - you'd see guest appearances from Les Heros de Paris, the Big Hero Six, Alpha Flight, MI13, and more.

Storm representing Wakanda
Doctor Doom representing Latveria
Namor representing Atlantis
Medusa representing the Inhumans
Thor representing Asgard
Cyclops representing Utopia

Wow. That's cool. Thanks for the lesson.

Hmmm Fantasy team

Black Panther(leader,Brains,and Tech) (Classic look)

Deadpool (Weapon Specialest) (X-Factor Suit)

Wolverine (Hand to hand expert) (X-Factor Suit)

DareDevil (Stealth and surveillance) (Secret War suit)

Cloak(Transportation)(Classic look)

Psylocke(Telepath) (X-force look)

Luke Cage (Muscle)

Caliban(Tracking and Psych warfare,and a little Muscle)

This is pretty much my perfect version of X-force(expanded to include anyone) Luke Cage the only one who kind of doesnt fit, being as he sticks out like a sore thumb on a perfect stealth team. You need that muscle just in case though. Calibans strong now but not the most aggresive fighter.

I'm always game.

Was thinking about an international Avengers but I figure one way to really diversify the market would be to do a mystical/'dark' team, hell I decided to go ahead a make two.

Horror/Monster Hunters team
1.)
Blade, Star power, with his experience with team ups, easily the most capable leader of the group.
Elsa Bloodstone, something of a hot head partner, always with a funny insult or comment ready.
Sun Wukong aka Monkey King, New character, with an interesting power set and flexible as far development will go.
Sebastian Druid, essentially the group's on site magic guy, although he isn't the most capable in spells, he is well versed and has some powers due to his DNA

2.) Mission Statement: Set up by SHIELD head, Daisy Johnson, the team deals with monster investigations and terminations.

3.) Written by Mark Waid

Magic Powerhouse Team
1.)
Ghost Rider aka Danny Ketch, I'd prefer Ketch but given they gave a lot of the cool Ghost Rider powers from Danny's run to Blaze it honestly is a toss up. The visual alone should be star power enough that orange or blue flames around the skull it shouldn't matter.
Nina Price aka Vampire by Night, niece to Jack Russell, a vampire/werewolf hybrid, whose powers only activate for either branch of monstrous history after sunset. Interesting powerset and enough history flexibility to allow for growth.
Satana, sister of the Son of Satan, Succubi, extremely attractive and sexually liberal sorceress.
Frank aka the Intelligent Clone of Frankenstein's Monster, I figure why not go big muscle with a dash of intelligence and another rarely used character with flexibility due to history.
Fat Cobra, I figure a martial arts badass would fit well with this book.

2.) Brought together by fate (or the Man-Thing), this group is called when a mystic threatens to unravel the dimensions

3.) Written by Jeff Parker

real fantasy would be a live-action cameo of Heroes for Hire in an Avengers sequel...
