Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities Doom Patrol -- Create Your Own Team

I'm having trouble coming up with a full lineup. I guess I'll have to sleep on it.

I do know I would like to have Mary Marvel and the Linda Danvers Supergirl on the team.

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!

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.

I would read that, oh yes!

Avengers -

throwing in some powerful females (both powers and attitude):

1) Crystal
2) Monica Rambeau
3) Ms. Marvel
4) Firestar
5) She-Hulk
6) Wasp
7) Moondragon
8) Scarlet Witch

and...

9) Thor
10) Captain America

Legion of Super-Villains (bring on the big numbers):

1) Emerald Empress - I can see her thinking "screw the Fatal Five" and instead gathering her own army

2) Lightning Lord - oh, the family drama!

3) Stheno - minor villain who could turn people to stone

4) Validus

5) Brainiac 4 - turns the tables on EE and takes charge really fast

6) Esper Lass - very mean telepath

7-11) Titania, Mist Master, Silver Slasher, Lazon, Neutrax (hey why not)

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.

Here's my Titans West team...

I love all the photos here!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

I thought about putting Scott Lang in as well!

I like Moonstar as leader of a big team ! she was a shield agent afterall.

Moonstar is one of my favorite characters. I've been wanting to put her in the Avengers for years.

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.

Although they need to stop with messing up her powers. Soon she's gonna switch ethnicity like Psylocke.

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)

Didn't have time to post this earlier. It's the one time I've written Dani, to date:

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).

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.

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.
