I have NOT been a fan of the Immortal Hulk spin-off, Gamma Flight.
I will however, snatch up a couple of their characters for this build. With tongue firmly in cheek here comes Marvel’s version of The Terrifics…
DOC SAMSON (Mr. Terrific)
I’m bringing him back to all his lush haired ruggedly handsome glory. When you’re Marvel’s go-to psychiatrist, you end up treating some of the most powerful and or unstable characters ever; on Earth, in space, even other dimensions. You need a good team to get you out of some crazy situations, no pun intended.
GEIGER (Phantom Girl)
Delilah Dearborn as the requisite female on the team, and often the voice of reason. She doesn’t line up w. Phantom Girl in terms of powers, but she and Doc have matching costumes which is great for where I’m going w. this.
ABSORBING MAN (Metamorpho)
Crusher Creel’s a good choice here, I think. Like Metamorpho, his power set is visually fun to play with. Creel’s usually topless and I’m sticking w. that, but from the waist down his belt pants and boots will be the same as Doc, to have that unified team look.
CAPTAIN ULTRA (Plastic Man)
I wanted someone like Plastic Man here; seen as goofy but actually quite powerful. I hit pay dirt when I learned that Captain Ultra and Doc had worked together before, in one of Iron Man’s old ongoing titles. He def. wouldn't change his costume but he’d slap a Doc Samson lightning bolt logo on his chest plate to show solidarity.

It sure is, and I like this team roster. Hell, considering how badly everyone in the MU seems to be needing it, I'd go for a book about Samson's therapy sessions with various luminaries of Marvel, really delve into and help them with a lot of issues that have gone unresolved and ignored over the years.

Been taken with this team roster for years before but I love it now since most are pretty relevant for a Defenders team. You have Doctor Strange to lead as all Defenders teams should tend to have. Then you have a Valkyrie (except this time we have Jane Foster) and a Hulk (now Jennifer Walters). You have a fun father and daughter dynamic with both Scott's Ant Man and Cassie's Stature. You have Brian Braddock's proper return as Captain Avalon and a fellow Excalibur member and cosmic ally (hitting the Silver Surfer spot) with Lockheed. Finally alongside the Vets you get some younger legacy characters who aren't quite newbies but will still benefit from the older members - Cassie back as Stature, Kamala's Ms Marvel and Robbie Reyes' Ghost Rider.
I think this team would be well timed - you've have Stephen back of course (or maybe a Cable twist with a younger version of the character) for his new movie. Jane Foster, She Hulk, Ms Marvel and Stature all about to be relevant in the MCU. Captain Avalon setting up a future appearance by Brian in the MCU. And fan favs like Ant Man, Lockheed and Ghost Rider. I would love to see this team be a reality someday.
I would build a new version of The Crew.
Street level grit involving superpowers.
the opening arc would be the sons of the serpent acquiring hi tech weaponry in order to start a race war, but that's not the only twist:
someone has been providing them with a form of super soldier serum, giving them boosted strength.
my team of heroes:
Battlestar
White Tiger
Cloak
Dagger
and led by Sam Wilson, The High Flying Falcon!
If the civilian friends, family, and other loved ones of superheroes can have support group meetings (see the Lookups in Nick Spencer's ASM 9-10), why not the superheroes themselves?
Sounds good to me. Which White Tiger would you be using, though, Ava Ayala or Kevin "Kasper" Cole?
