Create A Team Lineup For The Global Guardians!

[Samm]

You are put in charge of creating and establishing a new International DC superhero team, with the only criteria being you’re only allowed one character per country so as to not create another “Justice League”. Your team lineup is limited to a maximum of 20 characters (to mimic the real world G20) and a minimum of 8 (to mimic the G8).Who makes up your Global Guardians team?

Why not go with the originals?

I hate photobucket . . . it's not always shareable if you're not a member, so I have no idea of what this image is.

An old one I did, based on the classic Alpha Flight line up, more or less.

[randomideaguy]

The Leader : Mera Curry AKA Aquawoman
The Lancer : Amaya Jiwe AKA Vixen
The Dark Chick : Shado Fei AKA Accomplished Perfect Physician
The Smart Guy : Bilal Asselah AKA Nightrunner
The Heart : Kiran Singh AKA Solstice
The Big Guy : Beatriz da Costa AKA Fire
Naive Newcomer : Connor Hawke AKA Green Arrow

A pretty decent mix of old hands (Mera, Jiwe, & da Costa), with medium weights (Solstice & Connor), and people who are just starting to move out of their comfort zone (Asselah & Fei). The only truly new character is Shado, who is basically an updated version of the current APP (Yao Fei). I see her as sort of a dark brooding heroine in the vein of Batman. Bilal, Connor, & Kiran will of course have lots of fun together as the "kids" of the group - of course always wanting more respect.

Shado will just be learning to work with a team again after some incident gets her removed from the Great Ten and ostracized by the Chinese elite. Mera & Amaya will have much difficulty trying to force this rag tag group into something worthy of the Justice League name. Lastly, da Costa will have to learn how to balance heroic & normal life and realize that she actually needs to combine the two : thus ending up using her public persona & wealth to promote the team. Mera will want to prove that she is capable of leading a team of her own and will deny pretty much any and all help from outside of the team.

The series would be fairly political and by including people from across the world I think could go to some very interesting places and answer some very hard questions. I'm imagining them visiting all sorts of dictatorships across the world and I imagine someone like Black Adam (a supervillain who also runs a country) being a fairly prominent foe for them.

No need to create a new Global Guardians, as there is already an original team above.

Though I think it would be inappropriate to include a member of China (Genocide/organ harvesting/foreign detentions and all) on a super team

Well, you could revise it so that he's from Taiwan (or maybe Hong Kong).

And there's also the idea of "keep your friends close and your enemies even closer".

You have to add a Chinese character as well as a Korean and Mexican as those are some of the biggest countries in the world and China’s inclusion could add some tension. A modern Global Guardians has a ton of modern DC characters to choose from so I’d hope they’d include them

I hear you on Mexico and Korea, but China is too evil for me with their genocide, organ harvesting, slave labour camps (list goes on) ect....I'll take a pass.

I think Hong Kong is pretty much a done deal, so moving him to Taiwan is a good idea, but....there probably living on borrowed time as well.

South Korea, let's move him there. G20 democracy, strong US military presence, and they need a DC superhero!



(Subnote, I realize moving a character from one nation to another might not seem culturally sensitive (Germany to England) but in this case I was trying to think of a solution)

[warzon]

I Think they should take the name The World's Finest Heroes or just The World's Finest instead of Global Guardians and be Lead by the
