Wow. I absolutely remember this! lol Obviously, it's been a very long time ago!

I'm sure I'd include some of the usual suspects- Batman, The Flash,etc. but wanted to have some newer members.
Anansi the Spider seems like a cool idea.
Doctor Multiverse. A powerful character...

NIGHTWING lol
Also, BATMAN AND ROBIN.
Maybe ABSOLUTE POWER as that event is just getting started.
The Tom King run still going on with WONDER WOMAN.
The tpb of SUPERGIRL:WOMAN OF TOMORROW
I...

Oh, I know. But that's a small amount considering the size- what was it- 24 or more? And that's even if you don't count those with their own titles.

Elite: a select group that is superior in terms of ability or qualities to the rest of a group or society.
The richest, most powerful, best-educated, or best-trained group in a society."

I find...

I'm going to have to give more thought to a team.
Doctor Multiverse will definitely play a role.

I've read a lot of those. Fans were always writing in because they felt someone had gotten short changed due to most being so powerful. And the writers did have that problem. You also didn't have...

One interesting thing- and also kind of disappointing- is that the only newer characters are those with an already established name- e.g. all of the different G.L.'s.
There's really no new original...

If they're an elite team, it would not include that many characters.

It's too unwieldy. At least for just 1 book.
More than 1 book can make it seem like you're overdoing the idea.
And someone somewhere will get lost in the shuffle.

I don't know Kid Quick. Has the character been on another team?

You included the 1 character I was gonna use from the Great Ten. Still think it's amusing his initials are A.P.P.

Just happened to be looking at some sales data and even though I wouldn't want them to do it this way, it's interesting to see what it would look like if their top selling characters made up the...

Create MULTIPLE titles. Create a JL FRANCHISE.

Okay.

JUSTICE LEAGUE- the ICONS. They deal with a bit of everything.
COSMIC JUSTICE- a team to deal with super- threats, in spaaaace!
STREET...

However, in monthly sales Avengers #13 came in at #40 last month.

Congrats to the current Avengers book for being #5 this week. Without Spider-Man or Wolverine.
The bigger story though was Transformers being #1! But that's a different discussion! lol

...

MCU popularity I don't think has greatly increased comic book sales for any particular character. I even remember asking those running a few comic book shops if that was the case and the answer was,...

Yeah,I never liked that when Cap questions Tony about including Wolverine stating that Wolvie is a killer, Tony quips that he's a 'samurai warrior' and Cap just drops it.

Well said and agreed.

The current line-up I believe are Sam Wilson Captain America, Thor, Scarlet Witch, Vision, Captain Marvel, Iron Man... and maybe Black Panther?

You know, I really don't know when someone started tracking sales outside of the companies themselves! Iirc, aren't they usually just how many books a store orders and not how many that actually...

That would be interesting!

Lol By who?

The end of that first paragraph has been said of other teams such as the Justice League. That's why some writers focused on the other characters more such as Martian Manhunter, Plastic Man,etc.
...

Yes. We all should.

Hmm... interesting choice. I'd call her Phoenix though. You know, cause it sounds cooler.

I think you can have A Listers and good writing. Shoot for the stars! lol
