Make your own Marvel team, base it on whatever!

[Huntsman Spider]

Yes!
Guys like Demolition Man and Bantam, who wound up homeless despite having powers.

Or refugees from destroyed universes:

Those are definitely traumas that should be addressed psychotherapeutically, and may in fact be long overdue for that.

So true.
An actual book where Samson’s shown helping out characters who actually need it, in between him punching bad guys, would be great to see.

Definitely.

I'd be very much in favor of it.

This is one of those times you hope Marvel is trolling the site and likes the idea enough to heist it!

[Riv86672]

NICK FURY JR.
Just because SHIELD is gone, doesn’t mean SHIELD is gone. Nick Fury Jr. assembles an elite strike team to handle the types of situations that SHIELD would have, back in the day.

PRODIGY
Omnidisciplinary scientific genius.

WAR MACHINE
A literal one man Army Corps.

SHURI
The Wakandan winged wonder.

GOLIATH
A proud second generation big man.

SPECTRUM
Able to outrace even light itself.

[Riv86672]

A budget slash poor man’s version of The Defenders Big Four.



When Dr. Strange won’t return your calls you get…DR. DRUID.
Voted Single Worst Avenger Ever, 8 years running.

When you can’t get ahold of The Hulk you get…GENERAL MAVERICK.
A sixty something year old guy in bike shorts who can only Hulk out one hour a day.

When Namor The Sub-Mariner tells you to piss off you get…STINGRAY.
A guy who dresses up like a fish. Nuff said.

When The Silver Surfer can’t be contacted you get…FIRELORD.
Okay yeah, he’s actually pretty cool but, he’s no Silver Surfer.

[Riv86672]

Eh, why not. A poor man’s team based on The Avengers original line up.

No Cap but you get, CITIZEN V.
The John Watkins III version. Carrying on the family tradition. He’s the seventh CV, and looking to erase the damage Zemo did to his legacy.

No Thor but you get, ARKON.
A haughty other dimensional warrior King w. a quiver full of lightning bolts. He’s all about testing himself in battle and then getting his feast on.

No Iron Man but you get, DETROIT STEEL.
The Doug Johnson III version. Ex Military working in the private sector. He’s got more in common w. James Rhodes Than Tony in terms of skill set.

No Hulk but you get, GEN. MAVERICK.
I actually DO like this guy. The bike shorts though, are easy to make fun of. Hulk was replaced by Cap on The Avengers, but I’m keeping both Maverick and Citizen V on this team.

No Hank Pym but you get, THE HORNET.
The Hobie Brown version. Brown’s got science know how, and like Hank, has had a few different identities. There have also been other Hornets so it’s nice and confusing.

No Wasp but you get, THE RED LOCUST.
A happy go lucky young woman w. a lotta heart. Like The Wasp she’s the youngest, but is still going to end up being only sane person and team mom.

Jeez, that’s badass.

Each character has such a nice twist despite being familiar. I love how the teams all have a clear mission statement so they aren’t all just doing the same thing/stepping on each others’ toes. That’d make for great crossover material as you’d need a threat that crosses all their different jurisdictions.

And the Sisterhood of Evil Mutants?
With Wanda as leader?
Pitted against Pietro?
Hells yeah!
