    Inspired by Photon Torme and Lonewolf36, these are the Young Champions (the awesome Seventies version)…:




    AMADEUS CHO
    While he’s very Hulky now, Amadeus was Hercules’ sidekick, the brains to the Prince of Power’s brawn, for a good long time.

    RED WIDOW
    I’d never heard of this teenage Widow before today.

    CHERUB and DAYCRAWLER
    These two are from the Children of The Atom. While Cherub’s here an an Angel expy, that teen team didn’t have an Iceman. I like the big guy/little guy dynamic I get when pairing Cherub w. Daycrawler, though.

    DOYLE DORMAMMU
    I picked him for the flaming head yeah, but I figure his father Dormammu could be the catalyst that brings the team together, same as Hercules’ uncle Pluto was for the original Champions.

    And, homaging your DC build, this is Marvel’s Being Human.

    ^^^Oh I was fine w. the new werewolf Jake Gomez, it’s just that he and Deadgirl are on the younger side so I wanted a younger vampire. All the ones I found were old fogies!

    The original Champions remain one of my favorite Marvel teams/line-ups and it's always fun to do a build based on the initial roster. In this case, I figured I'd mix up the character type and the power set and put together a team of characters based on those. And after this line-up, the original will seem entirely organic and not a mishmash of characters from other franchises at all.

    Gargoyle - He's our winged hero with ties to the world of demons (character type of Ghost Rider, powers of Angel)
    Strong Guy - He's our powerhouse who's a mutant (character type of Iceman or Angel, powers of Hercules)
    Cipher - She's our mutant master of stealth and spycraft (character type of Iceman or Angel, abilities of Black Widow)
    Blizzard - He's our regular guy with artificial ice powers (character type of Black Widow, powers of Iceman)
    Pele - She's our goddess of fire (character type of Hercules, powers of Ghost Rider)
