    I prefer working with parameters. Since the original UA team had 9 members:
    Havok, Rogue, Sunfire and Wolverine for the X-side.
    Thor, Wasp, Cap, Wonder Man and Wanda for the Avenger side.

    I'll restrict myself to that model.

    Avengers:
    Photon (Monica Rambeau)
    Hercules
    Speed (Tommy Shephard)
    Ant Man (Scott Lang)
    Vision

    X-Men:
    Monet
    Siryn
    Prodigy
    Manifold

    I think the characters selected provide a strong diversity, both in their aesthetic, power sets, and unique perspectives and I tried to limit my choices to folks who don't have active on-panel "home books" currently (that I am aware of)
    Many have worked together before. Some are close friends (Monet & Siryn). Some are more than friends (Speed & Prodigy). Some have familial ties (Vision & Speed). Some are simply on each other's radar from past brief encounters (Ant Man & Prodigy). Some have unique ties to the divine (Hercules & Siryn)
    They've a wide range of skills and proficiencies beyond their powers that would make for interesting and varying levels of cohesion, cooperation, or even conflict.

    While some of these are not my favorites ever, I do appreciate the thought that went into it. None of the characters specifically outshine anyone else. (Hercules may be stronger and tougher than Monet, for instance, but she's the team telepath, as well!) Bonus points for including what may be the sole X-Venger couple, in Prodigy and Speed, and avoiding the obvious trope of using mutants who've been Avengers (something I would tend to lean towards, making a 'mutant Avengers' with Justice, Firestar, Beast, Scarlet Witch*, Quicksilver*, etc.).
    *The latter two having been mutants for most of their history, even if they aren't this week...

    I really miss the Unity Squad. Loved UA.

    Rogue
    Wasp
    Captain Marvel
    Dazzler
    Sunspot
    Northstar
    Vision
    Thor

    With Captain America making semi regular appearances for mission talk and PR, and Gambit making guest appearances of course for spice. I feel like Dazzer, Northstar, and Sunspot are powerhouse mutants that get underused. They could really show their power prowess with some earth shattering Avenger threats and let loose with some cool feats.

    I also miss the burgeoning friendship between Jan and Rogue from UA vol 3 and No Surrender

    Ummm....my ideal take nowadays would be something like this:

    - Namor (co-leader)
    - She-Hulk
    - Wiccan
    - Miles Morales

    - Storm (co-leader)
    - Captain Britain Betsy
    - X-23
    - Nightcrawler

    I think this would be a fun team with a lot of strong personalities and diverse power sets.
    A picture would last longer darling...

    Oh I completely forgot about Namor! If there's a character that's absolutely in between the Avengers and the X-Men, it's hi. Especially now that he's going to be all the rage thanks to BP2, it would be fun to have him headline an eclectic group like the Unity Squad is no doubt going to be.

    I loved the original Uncanny Avengers run, it's one of Marvel's best modern concepts (imo) so I'm thrilled it may be coming back. My ideal team would be:

    Captain America (Rogers)
    Scarlet Witch
    Monet
    Dazzler
    Blue Marvel
    Hawkeye (Barton)
    Sunfire (or Synch)

    Synch would be a fun choice.

    Love this and would literally pick it up in an instant. Like that 2/4 mutant members have served on Avengers teams but they’re not the usual suspects of Logan and Beast. It’d be fun to see Monica in a leadership role again, especially when dealing with the strong personalities on this team.

    Right?! Imagine Synch using Dazzler and Captain America's powers simultaneously to throw a hard-light rainbow shield, with an amazing artist.

    I know the free comic book day list is out but I am going to ignore it for my dream team...

    Leader: Cap America (steve)
    Co Leader: Capitan Brittan (betsy)

    main team
    Cloak and Dagger
    Juggernaut
    Luke Cage
    Gambit
    Banshee
    Quicksilver
    Scarlet Witch
    In the real world i would be BOTH pro registration and Pro mutant rights. Xavier and Trask were both right.

    Best would be the ones that used to be on both sides.

    Looking at availability, meaning ones who currently have no book, I would love this team to be made out of:

    Rogue
    Sunfire
    Cannonball
    Quicksilver
    Cloak
    Dagger
    Capt Avalon (Brian)
    Prodigy
    "COURAGE, DON'T YOU DARE LET ME DOWN"
