Morrison's JLA/Greek Pantheon thing with Marvel characters

[edpower]

OK, if you had to make a Marvel Superhero team with characters as stand-ins for the Greek Pantheon (ala Morrison's JLA) who would you cast for each of the following:

Zeus
Hera
Poseidon
Hades
Demeter
Athena
Apollo
Artemis
Ares
Aphrodite
Hephaestus
Hermes
Dionysus

[yet another]

Will give it a shot with the X-characters as they might be considered a big dysfunctional family like the Greek gods.

Zeus - Professor X
Hera - Moira McTaggert
Poseidon - Banshee
Hades - Magneto
Demeter - Storm
Athena - Jean Grey
Apollo - Northstar
Artemis - Aurora
Ares - Wolverine
Aphrodite - Rogue
Hephaestus - Forge
Hermes - Gambit
Dionysus - Nightcrawler

Wow. Thanks. I'm not used to that much positiveness on the internet.

Zeus: Thor
Hera: Invisible Woman
Poseidon: Namor
Hades: Black Panther
Demeter: Jean Gray
Athena: She-Hulk
Apollo: Hyperion
Artemis: Black Widow
Ares: Hulk (or, y'know, just Ares)
Aphrodite: Starfox
Hephaestus: Iron Man
Hermes: Silver Surfer
Dionysus: Deadpool

This one looks the most like mine. Although, Hades=Black Panther and Dionysus= Deadpool are genius. I'm 100% going to rip off the Black Panther thing.

Zeus - Thor
Hera - Invisible Woman - for still being married.
Poseidon - Namor
Hades - Cyclops - fallen son

Athena - Captain America - tactical war
Apollo - Spider-Man - enlightenment great power comes great responsiblity
Artemis - Angela - hunter
Ares - Wolverine - berzerker rage
Aphrodite - Emma Frost
Hephaestus - Iron Man
Hermes - Rogue
Dionysus - Hulk for his dual nature as Dionysus has a dual nature

Cool idea indeed! =) Would probably make for a very interesting Avengers-lineup too...

Zeus = THOR
Hera = INVISIBLE WOMAN
Poseidon = NAMOR
Hades = GHOST RIDER
Demeter = SHE-HULK
Athena = JEAN GREY, MARVEL WOMAN
Apollo = SENTRY
Artemis = BLACK WIDOW
Ares = WOLVERINE
Aphrodite = VENUS
Hephaestus = IRON MAN
Hermes = QUICKSILVER
Dionysus = ?? No clue... can't think of anyone but Starfox, and he's more of an Aphrodite...
