Who would you pick (anywhere between 5-10, unlimited really) doesn't matter if they are MIA, imprisoned, dead, etc (it is a comic book after all), what would their team/squad name be? And what would their purpose/goals be?
Team Name: The Cleaners/Fixers (not very creative I know :P)
Members:
1. Spellbinder (Erica Fortune) - telekinetic powers/magick/paranormal the team's "Jean Grey or Magneto"
2. Stinger (Wendy Sherman) - Electric powers/mutant
3. Allegra - speed/healing factor/mutant
4. Clash (Clayton Cole) - sonic power/intelligence/crime history
5. Adam-X (Adam Neramani) - explosive blood power/battle experience/mutant
6. Hellion (Julian Keller) - telekinetic powers/mutant/battle experience
7. Werewolf by Night (Jack Russell) - lycanthropy/street smarts/paranormal
8. Ghost Rider (Robbie Reyes) - speed/battle experience/street smarts/mechanics/paranormal
9. Hybrid (Scott Washington) - symbiote power/long reach/battle experience
10. Sunfire (Shiro Yoshida) - fire elemental/battle experience/mutant
11. Behemoth - strength/brawn/mutant
12. Scarlet Spider (Ben Reilly) - intelligence/maneuverability/battle experience/spider sense - team leader
13. Yellow Jacket (Darren Cross) - flight/speed/science
14. Triton - swimming/speed/battle experience/inhuman
Purpose: Multiple purposes, but because the Avengers and the Fantastic 4 and Spider-man can't always be around the Twelve can jump in during a crises and work to evacuating all citizens from danger, as well as tracking said threat(s) and handling them themselves or until someone higher-in-rank comes along.
As per my choices 1) I know Robbie isn't necessarily obscure 'yet' but with the unfortunate cancellation of his book and the fact that he is once again in the shadow of Johnny Blaze will contribute to him being lesser known...and besides he's a cool character. 2) I know Ben currently has his own book and is more known now because of the events of the Clone Conspiracy, however I felt the team was missing a 'webslinger' and all-around intelligence guy (unless you count Clash or Hellion) I think compared to bigger name books like TASM, Thor, Avengers, GOTG Ben can still be considered lesser known or 'obscure' or at the very least less popular.
EDIT: Added Yellow Jacket & Triton
