Default Build The Perfect DC Super Team

Here's the challenge: build your perfect DC Universe super team. The team can be any size, but there should be at least 4 members. It can be all men, all women or any mix.

Will you go for a well-balanced team or favor power over eveything else?

Will the team be comprised of dull badasses or well-written and complex characters?

It's entirely up to you. For everyone else, feel free to comment on whether or not you would be interested in reading a title featuring those characters.

I'm going to look at this from a tactical perspective and build a team of seven members. Those members would include:
  1. Superman
  2. Captain Marvel (Shazam)
  3. The Flash
  4. The Martian Manhunter
  5. Batman
  6. Green Arrow
  7. Green Lantern

These guys, with the exception of Batman and Green Arrow, are more powerful than any other characters in the DC Universe. Batman is on the team to provide a tactical eye in the event that all the characters somehow lose their powers, and Green Arrow is on the team in case of the same event and if Batman gets injured and can't take the leadership reigns.

Here's mine:

1. Wonder Woman
2. Power Girl
3. The Huntress
4. Vixen
5. Big Barda
6. Black Canary
7. Catwoman

We wouldn't really fight much crime, though. We'd mostly stay inside. I figure I could wear them down if given enough time and enough booze.

I like your way of thinking.

Are we looking for cat fights here? Just a movie with all superhero women going at it? LOL

Default The Lame Brigade

My team will be made up of the castoffs -- the lamest superheros from the lamest comics ever.

1. Madam Fatal (a dude dressed like an old lady . . .)

2. The Huntress (the daughter of Batman and Catwoman oughta be way cooler than this lame DC throwaway)

3. Green Arrow (archery is not a superpower)

4. The Red Bee (an assistant district attorney turned Nazi fighter)

5. Matter Eater Lad (not making this one up)

6. Vibe (a break dancing Spaniard)

7. Zan (that's right, one of the Supertwins)

I've actually got a comic book where the Red Bee is killed by Nazi agents. Very sad stuff, considering his promising career as an assistant DA.

Gotta disagree on Matter Eater Lad, though. In the hands of the right writer, Tenzil Kem was (and is) comic gold.

I keep starting on a "perfect" team, but I haven't found the perfect combination yet. I'll keep trying. Traci Thirteen will definitely be in the lineup.

You can never go wrong with a member of the Homo Magi.
