Team-Idea

[Masterff]

Hello,
there are actually so many unused Characters that I thought it would be cool to make a team consisting of cool, not so much used characters, who also have a interesting backstory etc. and let them form a team, who is not controlled etc. by the JL, Titans etc.
Just a real outsider Team living maybe together in a kind of old Hotel or on a kind of ranch...

I thought of:

Conner Kent (Leader)
Miss Martian (Co-Leader and Wife)
Jackson Hyde
Bart Allen
Kid Devil
Green Lantern Jessica Cruz
Blue Beetle Jaime
Traci 13
Static

I think they would really form a great Team and more important they are also interesting characters with great backstorys to evolve and are also very diverse

There are two threads about this sort of thing. One for expanding on lesser used character, another for team ideas.

I'm sure there have been threads like this, but those two aren't them. One is about individual characters and the other thread is about building a team based off the concept/lineup of another team.

^^^Or just making up a team; that was pretty obvious from the start.
Thread titles are only so long, and I was more interested in having fun that breaking down every possible aspect/telling ppl what to do.

One of the greatest challenge that creators have nowadays for starting a team is establishing a mission statement that stands out. The other is a really good team name (a HUGE challenge in this day and age). Do you have suggestions for those to go along with the line-up? It seems to me that you were really inspired by the Young Justice cartoon.

It's a good lineup but rather vague on the details.

Names are, in my limited experience, doable. If all else fails twist one that isn't being used right now (although that can sometimes go horribly wrong - looking at you, current Outsiders-in-name-only)

But mission statements are harder, particularly for the more Earthbound groups. What's the narrative hook of your new group that separates them from the various JLA's, JSA's, Titans, Dooms Patrol and so forth that are tromping around?

^^^Name and a mission statement, yeah.
Nail those and you’re halfway home.

And then there’s the lineup…

Once you've got a mission statement, line-ups are practically gravy. 'Cause seriously, there are SO FREAKING MANY DC characters just sitting on the shelf, waiting for someone to dust them off/resurrect/revamp them.

Here's one for free: Jamm has, all this time, been channeling the Anti-Life Equation. And now Apokolips and New Genesis have noticed. Hilarity ensues. Go.

^^^Well, sometimes gravy is hard to make. You don’t mix the ingredients just right, it comes out lumpy.

and then you wind up with a Frank Zappa album.
