A villain team based on the original Teen Titans line up. Thinking of expanding it to the Wolfman/Perez era team if I can find the right characters.
NITE-WING
While a name derived from an all night deli that specializes in chicken wings is kinda funny, textbook sociopath Tad Ryerstad’s history of violence is actually pretty impressive. He intimidates slash amuses his teammates just enough that they let him take the lead on most things.
SWEET LEILANI
Ask her and she’ll tell you she’s the finest of the Female Furies. She doesn’t have a lasso but her energy whip thingie’s pretty cool. Being stranded on Earth she’s always looking to cause a little chaos to alleviate her boredom.
ARCHER
No, he’s not a super spy who sounds like Bob Belcher. Fenton Quigley’s a petulant trust fund baby who got cut off, and started using his big game hunting and archery skills to rob from the rich and give to himself, after adopting a Robin Hood like persona.
REVERSE FLASH
Becoming a conduit to the Speed Force, and even being able to rewind time under the right conditions, would be dream come true for most ppl. For Daniel West, gaining superpowers didn’t solve his problems, they just made them bigger, and he just couldn’t outrun them.
DEVIL RAY
He’s an upstart aquatic supervillain and disillusioned former henchman who believes it’s his destiny to take over Atlantis. Until then, he’s gotta make a living. His high tech armor and equipment doesn’t come cheap, after all.
ULTRA BOY
An underrated flying brick. Maybe too headstrong to be team leader, though.
DREAM GIRL
A beautiful, powerful precog w. a shiny costume and a gorgeous mane of hair.
PHANTOM GIRL
Uses her ability to phase in all sorts of cool ways; she’s both stealthy and effective in battle. Romantically linked w. Ultra Boy.
KINETIX
An anomaly in the LoSH’s timeline(s), she’s a powerful telekinetic and can reshape solid matter w. just her thoughts.
GATES
An upbeat guy w. the ability to open teleportational discs and link them together to make spatial doorways.
QUISLET
Actually an energy being from another dimension that lives inside a teeny tiny spaceship.
This is what I get for reading the first few issues of Claremont/Davis/Neary’s Excalibur this morning.
Scoobies:
Buffy = Wonder Woman
Willow = Zatanna (or Raven)
Xander = Guy Gardner
Cordelia = Catwoman
Giles = Kent Nelson
Oz = Beast Boy
Tara = Lilith
Anya = Harley
Angel = Orion
Spike = Black Adam
^^^For as much as I liked the movie, I never actually watched the show!
The Atomics are a team w. a theme based on (surprise) the origin Avengers lineups I love and love to use so much.
• Captain Atom’s in for that other Captain. Atom’s patriotic, a man out of time, got his powers via the Military…he doesn’t have a mighty Shield, but the alien metal shell he’s bonded to means Captain Atom IS the Shield.
• Apollo’s not an actual god like Thor, but he’s got a godly aura to him (literally). He’s even named after a god, and the sun he’s empowered by is a big ass nuclear reactor.
• The Atomic Knight, Gardner Grayle, is very much an Iron Man. His high tech armor allows him to operate at ground zero when he needs to.
• Atom Smasher is no Hank Pym in the brains department, but he’s a top notch big guy. He’s gotten a bit of a crush on the team’s Wasp expy.
• This Atom is from Earth-15, and her name's Jessica Palmer. A child prodigy she theorized the existence of the multiverse when she was five. She kinda likes Atom Smasher. He’s no genius, but she’s smart enough for both of them.
• Chemo is a big green radiation machine. Though he has a simple form of sentience, the robot’s usually a tool used by villains and has fought nearly every hero out there. The US Govt. has tried destroying him, and even burying him w. no luck, so they’ve entrusted Chemo to Captain Atom, who’s going to try and make a hero out of him.
Cool, just not sure Nura is the best fit for Meggan, after all, she was the second powerhouse of the team, often proving to be even more powerful than Captain Britain himself. Perhaps Sensor Girl would be a better match, after all, she was so unbeliavably powerful that a lot of people thought she was Supergirl brought back to life. Plus, although she wears a mask that hides how beautiful she really is under it (there is also a sort of parallel there with Meggan, whose inner beauty eventually shone through), she does have a georgeous mane of hair.
