Let's say you're a Nick Fury-esque fixer organizing a new version of the Avengers. Thing is, it's got to be staffed with heroes that the in-universe general public and the team's own members will regard as the most capable and most trustworthy heroes alive and active today. Not the most famous, nor the most powerful, but those who will be regarded as the greatest the world has to offer. To make the task even more difficult, you've decided to cap the membership at 10. Who do you choose?
Remember the criteria:
- Alive and active today
- Regarded as the most capable and trustworthy by the in-universe general public
- Regarded by each other member as the most capable and trustworthy
- Not necessarily the most powerful
- Not necessarily the most famous
- No more than 10
Go to it.
