The new "Create your own International Super Hero Team Challenge" with a twist!

[CRaymond]

That’s a great concept.
I can imagine all sorts of wheeling and dealing, interpersonal drama, good (and not so good) competition would go on between the various groups and sub groups. This is tailor made for long running plots and intrigue.
Well, done, man!

Oh exactly. The Russian, Chinese, and Indian teams would exert way too much influence over their regions, and cause a lot of team vs team violence.

You missed the part in the OP where edpower said:

On the other hand, once you've done the above, feel free to make an entire team based WITH the above criteria.

Cant speak for the other posters you quoted but, i already posted a team that met criteria (I even swapped out Etrigan as you started nit picking way back on page 1 ), so i’m free to use whichever characters I like, up to a whole team’s worth of stereotypes.

And the Americans trying to play all sides, w. Folks like Mr. Bones and Amanda Walker all up in there!
