MERGE: Choose Your Own Avengers Dream Team Roster

[Tiamatican]

ARMOR
Havok
He was recruited by ARMOR because he's connected to all the versions of himself throughout the multiverse. His experiences made him an obvious choice for field leader, and he's been taking on more and more administrative duties as he's being groomed to be head of the whole organization.
Suzi Endo
The chance to explore alternate realities, and see technology not seen on Earth, was more than she could resist.
Spider-Woman (Ultimate)
Having come to Earth-616 by accident, she decided she liked it, and has stayed. She's even dating a guy who works for ARMOR.
Machine Man
He's worked with them regularly over the years, and had nothing better to do, so he's back.
Morph (Exiles)
Morph hasn't changed at all. He's the same wacky, funny guy he always was. Luckily, his courage and kindness are likewise unchanged.
Blink (Exiles)
She lost her left arm on a mission with the Exiles, and has recently replaced it with a bionic replacement. She's grown a little bitter with age and experience, and is tired of not having a home. Joining ARMOR has started to raise her spirits a bit.

They protect Earth from multiversal threats. They scan alternate realities, looking for any that could pose a threat. They track any incursions into their reality, and deal with them. They'll occasionally make contact with other realities to make alliances, and have set up a network of universes that will aid each other should one come under attack. They also have a working relationship with the Exiles.

Avengers Academy (staff)
Hawkeye
He knows he's too old to continue being a superhero. So he's decided to become a full-time instructor, raising the next generation of teenage superheroes. He's also finally settled down, and is raising a family with a nice girl.
Giant Man
He's moved, more and more, towards pure research, and is now fully retired from superheroics. However, he continues to be active in the Academy, teaching science and studying the students' powers to help them get a better understanding of them.
Hellcat
She's led an odd life, but she's still a happy-go-lucky woman who wants to help people. An injury a couple years ago has limited her options, so she's working at the Academy now.
Firebird
She's an immortal powerhouse with a long history as a superhero. But she feels she can do more good with the students. Of course, being a powerhouse means she's also well-equipped to keep them safe when enemies attack.
Patriot
Patriot's had mixed results as a hero. He's served a couple stints with the Avengers, along with other teams, but he's never really managed to stand out. He still struggles with self-doubt. So the Academy seemed like a good fit for him, and he's enjoyed it.

New superhumans pop up fairly regularly. The Avengers Academy seeks them out, and brings them in to be trained in using their powers. Membership is entirely voluntary, but has some significant advantages, not the least of which is being trained by Avengers. Most of the students are teenagers, and the student body can get pretty big at times. They operate out of a rebuilt Hydro-base.

Thunderbolts
Victor Mancha
The son of a supervillain, he's rejected his father's path, and become a successful hero. He was chosen to lead the team on account of being a huge powerhouse.
Molly Hayes
She's a surprisingly well-adjusted adult who loves being a superhero. But she's also able to hold her own against Victor if something happens, making her an easy choice to be second-in-command.
Troll
She still speaks broken English, though she's learned a few more words. She's become a fairly permanent fixture among the Thunderbolts, since it gives her a good outlet for unleashing her wild side.
Coat of Arms
She's achieved some notoriety as a villain. She's with the Thunderbolts for now, but she's already planning her escape.
Sylvie
She's not really a bad guy. She's just playing her role. For now, that role means going along with the Thunderbolts.
Executioner
A straight-up badass who's racked up an impressive body count, he rejects ideas of good and evil, and has no problem fighting heroes or villains depending on the job he was hired for.
Ember
Ember loves being a villain. He loves hurting and killing. He's a dangerous individual. Luckily, he's also reckless and easy to manipulate, which lessens the danger he poses.

A team of villains who are being used for good. The hope is that they'll come to enjoy heroism, and become full-fledged heroes in their own rights. If not, then at least their sociopathy can be turned towards the right targets. Because they're villains, there's a certain sense of expendability, but Victor and Molly are doing their best to combat that view.

[Zen-aku]

Secret Avengers
Mockingbird
The serum she was given has greatly slowed her aging. She's got plenty of experience as a spy, making her ideal as the leader for SHIELD's black ops Avengers squad.
Quake
Second-in-command, and one of SHIELD's top agents.
Karma
Her powers help in getting into places, and her background as a librarian is great at finding information. She can actually get in, find what they're looking for, and get out, without needing to stand up.
Finesse
She's got a checkered past, and can't be trusted any farther than she can be thrown, but she's damned useful.
Speed
A little older, a little wiser, still impatient and reckless, just like his uncle.
Human Torch (Hammond)
Androids evidently don't age. But they do get damned good at burning stuff down.
Rick Jones
A-Bomb Smash. He can go stealthy when he's needed, and he was trained by Captain America so he can handle himself in a fight even without his powers. But mostly, he's there for when things need broken.

That is an Awesome Line up.

[Majin Gojira]

Damn, Tiamatican! That's a great "10 years in the future" lineup. I was gonna try one of my own, but I'm not sure I can top your lineups.

Only core difference, I was gonna go 15 years down the line with a thing that took out most of the established heroes (IE: they sacrificed themselves to save the world or something).

[Tiamatican]

That is an Awesome Line up.

Thanks. I always feel like Karma belongs in a secret ops squad. Mockingbird and Quake are already spies, of course. Rick would be an awesome spy. And Finesse is awesome at everything. Toss in Hammond and Speed for flavour.

Thanks, too. I've gone with a "what happened to the heroes" theme, but without any particular timeskip. (Starts here, if you wanted to check it out. That was a small set for me, only 6 teams. With Karma, as always, on the Secret Avengers. Because I'm obsessed with that idea. I also tossed Squirrel Girl onto a mystical-themed team, because that's an idea I'd honestly love to see, as well. I didn't do it with these latest teams, though I was sorely tempted. But I've done it a few times in the past.

[Vic Vega]

A (nearly) all star line up.

Captain America
Iron Man
Thor
Hulk
Hawkeye
Black Widow
Blade
Human Torch/Johnny Storm
Spider Man
Storm
Spider Woman
Wolverine
Henry Pym
Wasp
Black Panther
Vision

I just wanted a team with as many members who'd
been in movies or TV on it as possible.

And I think Johnny Storm as an Avenger would be hysterical.

Yeah, but wouldn't anybody notice that he looks just like Captain America?

UNCANNY AVENGERS

Captain America (represents humans)
Storm (represents mutants)
Havok (field leader)

Wolverine (field agent, this would be the only team he'd be a member of, the school would keep him busy)
Rogue (still not convinced the Avengers are the best team to handle mutant problems, but wants to keep an eye on them)
Scarlet Witch (source of conflict within the team, on a road to redemption)
Wonder Man (powerhouse, joins the team mostly for Wanda)
Spider-Man (knows what it's like to be an outcast better than most heroes, he'd be the team's scientist)
Wasp (would be the team's PR and would provide funding)

"Honorary members": Beast and Captain Marvel

10 Years Later? Okay.

Vance & Firestar( Coleaders of the team. Happily married)
Wiccan

Herc
Micromax
Monet
Wolverine( Jamie Howlett carrying on for her Clone daddy who has died from being a superhero
Blackeye( Kate Bishop. She now also uses those widow zappy bracelets that Natasha used to in addition to the bow and arrows. Clint and Natasha have both passed away from super hero related causes)

[theXfactor]

Really like the idea of adding Karma to the Secret Avengers, Tiamatican.

SECRET AVENGERS

1. Black Widow (working for SHIELD, but still in contact with Fury Sr., kind of a double agent)
2. Hawkeye (no longer team leader)
3. Mockingbird (bigger focus on her scientific abilities)
4. Iron Patriot/Jim Rhodes (tech)
5. Hulk (powerhouse)
6. Karma (as the new head of SHIELD's psych division, she's the only one who can control the Hulk)
7. Winter Soldier
+ SHIELD agents (mission support)

Haha! Finally, someone else sees the utility of Karma as a spy! She can possess people to get into places other people can't go, she worked as a librarian so she knows how to find and organize information, and she tends to blend into the background so she could probably walk around secret facilities openly without anyone noticing her. The girl's made for spy work. She could even handle the seducing sexy ladies part. Aww yeeaah.

However, I actually don't like the idea of Hawkeye as a spy. It's not the right role for him. He can do the sneaky stuff, and he can do it really well. But at heart, he's a showboater. He's a carny. And a conman - his Crowning Moment of Awesome was pulling a con on the Gamesmaster to save the world. He shouldn't be in the shadows, he should be in the spotlight.

Also, I don't want Hawkeye and Mockingbird to be on the same team until Mockingbird has a greater level of independent popularity. Too many people look at her as an extension of Hawkeye, rather than the badass genius spy she is.

I agree that being a spy isn't really Hawkeye's thing, but that's exactly why I'd want him on the team. He really isn't very confident working in the shadows and that makes for great drama and a lot of room for character development. And I like the idea of him working with Mockingbird now they're no longer together and I disagree she must be shown separately from him so that she can be independent. Writers just need to stop making every plot about her relationship with Clint.

Sounds Fine as long as Hawkeye is not leading.
