    Default Build an Ocean's 8 team to steal from Dr. Doom.

    Here are the rules:

    1) The team has to be 8 characters - all female.

    2) The characters have be close to street level. It gets wiggy, but let's say anyone that can split with Spider-Man is too powerful. Use your best judgment.

    3) No more than TWO characters from any single universe.

    4) The premise is that the team has to get into Latveria, get into Castle Doom, and steal some kind of McGuffin from Doom. They can do this through brute force or stealth or however you want, but the have to be able to get pat Doom's national AND personal defenses, and they will likely have to deal with him in some way or another.

    Who do you got?





    We discussed this as a Team-Building Exercise on my podcast this week, and this was our team:



    Catwoman (DC)

    Black Widow (Marvel)

    Squirrel Girl (Marvel)

    Barbara Gordon (DC)

    Scarlet (GI Joe)

    Penny (Inspector Gadget)

    Liz Sherman (Hellboy)

    Amelia Mintz (Chew)

    And this is where we discuss this (if you have any interest in our rationale): https://gotstratosphere.com/2018/07/...adies-of-doom/

    Doesn't Squirrel Girl radically break the rules of not being able to get a split against Spider-man. She has solo taken down Thanos and Doom (included considering he is the opponent here).

    Yeah, but those books are just jokes. SG by herself is abundantly street level and solves her problems through non-conflict. So we figured she was okay if the joke stories were written off.

    Well, yeah, Carmen Sandiego would seem to be a clear candidate.

    I’m amazed nobody mentioned Valeria Richards (from a time when she wasn’t hopped up with superpowers other than smarts). Or Alyssa Moy. Basically anybody with vaguely comparable smarts to Vic himself.

    naw. val has a way with doom. so much so, she could ask for something in his castle and he'd give it to her.

    Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

    Thief (8-Bit Theater) after stealing the gender of one of his teammates. He/she does the actual theft.

    Valeria Richards, mostly to get everyone into Castle Doom with a minimum of resistance.

    Carmen Sandiego, in case Thief fails, and they have to go with a plan B.

    Five Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders, each from a different universe, to provide a wacky comedy distraction involving pom-poms and tee-shirt cannons.

    How is Carmen Sandiego street-level? I wouldn't put it past her to steal Latveria itself and leave a massive crater where it stood.
