    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.
    Groovy Roster.

    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)

    ^^^I thought that, too!
    Those two could be the new Beetle and Booster.

    The Super Friends…:






    • Sentry’s a dangerous combination of godlike power and fragile psyche.

    • Moonstone is pulling everyone’s strings, as she’s been known to do.

    • With his splintered psyche always an issue, should Moon Knight really have taken up a sidekick in Moon Squire?

    • An outsider even among his own ppl, it was easy for Moonstone to get her hooks into Triton and reel him in.

    • The Fenris twins are just freaking weird. Dangerous, but freaking weird.

    Is the Marvel version of Pele able to clobber the Hulk like how the DC version smacked Wonder Woman around?

    ^^^Wanted to do one more Champions Team, an outer space one.

    Gods empowered Beta Ray Bill as Hercules, Shi’ar operative Warbird as Black Widow, Rocket and Groot as the buddy team from another team Iceman and Angel, and Cosmic Ghost Rider to give it that Champions vibe.

    I also added Maxam and Singularity as Black Goliath and Darkstar, who’ll join later on.

    funny enough, all of those characters (except for Deathbird) were actually members of GoTG for a minute there during Ewing's run (the one where they fight the returned Olympians and Dormammu). Those 5 together would be an interesting mix of personalities for sure.
