Playing around w. Filmation’s Space Sentinels and Freedom Force.
I liked the way the DVD cover had each group of heroes off to either side of Hercules, who’d been a member of both teams...:
The cover wasn’t complete though, as it didn’t include Sinbad, who was a member of Freedom Force...:
Anyhow, here are my Marvel versions...:
SPACE SENTINELS
Besides Herc, The Space Sentinels have Lyja, a heroic Skrull prone to take on various useful animal forms, and Makkari, one of the fastest characters in the Marvel Universe, even known to occasionally run across space itself.
FREEDOM FORCE
Along w. Herc, Freedom Force are a more earth based team in terms of members, but they’re still apt to go on cosmic type adventures.
Marvel has an Isis, but she’s pretty blah, and hasn’t gotten much screen-time. Meryet Karim, aka Lady Sphinx though, is powerful, and pretty cool. I can see her being heroic, while still having a deep hatred for Richard Ryder, which her team would have to deal with if they ever crossed paths.
Merlin in the Marvel Universe is, well, Merlin. He’s every bit as powerful as you’d think he’d be.
Shingen Harada, Silver Samurai II, is the youngest member of Freedom Force. A well trained swordsman, he also has a healing factor, and high tech armor and weapons. Hercules has taken him under his wing,
Marvel’s Sinbad is a cunning strategist and warrior. Armed w. a few mystical artifacts he can cast some small illusions and simple spells; his twice blessed weapons can inflict more damage than would seem possible. While Merlin considers what Sinbad does to be parlor tricks, he does admit Sinbad uses all his resources well, combining everything into a unique and effective fighting style.
