Cap is not needed... Reed or Cyclops are better candidates for leaders... have Surfer instead of Gladiator...

but yeah, the avengers is pretty much marvel's JLA...

moving to comic movies...

Cap is a very core part of the Marvel Universe though, less so than Cyclops, and the FF are contained in their own niche. Cap is also an early creation of Jack Kirby, and a Golden Age character who's survived the best through the years for Marvel's pantheon. He fully deserves his spot. I may not like him all the time, but I have to give him respect.

If I had to pick 12 characters to make up Marvel's JLA, I'd go with a mix of powers, position and popularity.

Captain America
Namor
Human Torch I
Hank Pym
Wasp
Hulk
Thor
Iron Man
Spider-Man
Doc Strange/Captain Marvel--I get the feeling that Marvel very much wants Genis to succeed commercially, just they can't figure out how to properly market things.
Wolverine
Daredevil/Black Panther--BP for the same reason as Captain Marvel.

At first we have the Golden Age triumverate, then the founding members of the Avengers, who were all big sells back in the day, as was Doc Strange. Wolverine is arguably the most popular mutant, though I feel some of the originals should be on the list, but for so few numbers, they just don't cut the mustard. Spidey and DD have both held a steady monthy title, at least, throughout the years, and are staple Marvel characters, as I feel Marvel wants BP to be as well. Wish they had a few more well developed female characters though. I think She-Hulk's come into her own as a strong central character, but we need some more.

mine would be

storm
she-hulk
scarlet witch(house of M)
emma frost
phoenix
invisable woman
dr.strange
reed richards
black panther
gladiator
ice-man
spider-woman 3(has all the powers of any previous spider woman and telepathy and clarvoyance, and pregognative abilities)

Thor = Superman
Captain America = Batman
Sersi = Wonderwoman
Silver Surfer = Martian Manhunter
Namor = Aquaman
Quasar = Green Lantern
Makkari = Flash
Hawkeye = Green Arrow
Black Cat = Black Canary
Dr Strange = Zatanna
The Falcon = Hawkman
Reed Richards = Plasticman

suonds reasonable..i think spidey needs to be in there somewhere.

Reed Richards
Phoenix
Sentry
Hulk
Namor
Genis
Thor
Magneto
Cable
Dr Strange
Silver Surfer
Adam Warlock

But if you want to have each member as a close equivilent to current JLA, then it would be:

Superman: Sentry
Wonder WOman: Thor
Batman: Reed
Aquaman: Namor
Martian Manhunter: Adam Warlock
Zatanna: Dr Strange
Orion: Silver Surfer
Green Lantern(hal): Mar-vell
Green lantern(kyle): Genis
Green Lantern(john): Quasar
Green Arrow: Hawkeye
Steel: Collossus

Good to see that most of you understand what I mean in terms as Marvel's answer to JLA (an equivelant) other than a Avengers. Although Spidey, and Ice man arnt gettn any love.

Well there are a myriad of ways to look at it. Many of DC's characters have Golden Age roots, a period of comics that has been much more streamlined into DC continuity. Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and more were all around in the 40s. Most of Marvel's main heroes today weren't.

From a Golden Age standpoint:

Dynamic Man = Superman
Challenger = Batman
Miss America = Wonderwoman
The Vision I (Aarkus) = Martian Manhunter
Namor = Aquaman
Can't find anyone specific, though undoubtedly one of the many mystics could fill the role, or perhaps the Fiery Mask = Green Lantern
Makkari retroactively, Hurricane or Mercury in actuality = Flash
Hawkeye = Green Arrow
Black Fury/Miss Fury = Black Canary
Timely comics had more mystics than Sally Struthers has chins. = Zatanna
Red Raven = Hawkman
Thin Man = Plasticman

That's just for analagous powers. I could go more into popularity and cultural significance, but I won't.

Captain America
Spiderman
Thor
Iron Man
Warbird
Hulk
Silver Surfer
Reed Richards
Storm
Hawkeye
Dr. Strange
Vision

Squadron Supremem

Invariably, Namor = Aquaman. Seems to be the only character everyone agrees on.

my marvel jla would be

Deaths Head 2
Jack of Hearts
Silver surfer
Moon Knight
Darkhawk
Tuck
Typhiod Mary
Motormouth
Jolt
and Havok as the leader

Yes. Though it is important to remember that Namor debuted some 20 years before Aquaman.

maybe marvels JLA should ne the people that fought against the JLA team in the crossover DC VS marvel

"Realistically" that Avengers team (except Quasar) should have been destroyed by the JLA - fortunately, Scarlett Witch got a huge power up while Flash got a power decrease eh?

Yeah. Well there were a couple other factors. I thought it was neat how Photon scanned Kyle's ring, adapted to it's energy wavelengths, and just absorbed everything he threw at her until he was pretty much drained. Though afterwards, he charged up using the cosmic cube!

no, i was talking about the crossover that the atever member of the jla whoever thay fought would take their place in the marvels JLA so it would be


wonder woman-storm
batman-cap america
green lantern-silver surfer
superman-hulk
flash-quicksilver
aquaman-namor
robin-jubilee
lobo-wolverine
catwoman-elektra
shazam-thor
zatanna-scarlet witch

all those people fought eachotherexcept sw and zatanna. imo the right side would be the marvel JLA cause those are the people that fought eachother and some won and some lost.

JLA EXTREME:

1. Sentry

2. Taskmaster

3. Thor Girl

4. Bullseye

5. Stan Lee's The Flash

6. Classic Juggernaut

7. Mainframe

8. Genis Vell

9. Songbird

10. She-Hulk

11. Quasar

12. Bravado(Son Of Thor, Class 80, Durability of Classic Thor, well versed in asgardian mystic arts)


JLA EXTREME RESERVES:

1. Deadpool

2. Photon

3. War Bird

4. Wonder Man

5. New Scorpion(Girl from Amazing Fantasy)

not nesicerily, most of marvel didnt win and it was only in fan votes that probly got DC the win(cant remember if they acually won or not. but yeah... Also when ever they do so choose to go at it at it again no fan votes, they fight to the finish, and they dont make Superman an uber hyper being even though he cant be denied cuz he is the stuff DC dreams are made of. And oh yeah Batman is good, no damn good, but come on Captin America runs trains on Nazi scum during WW2, and occansionally takes a sh*t on his own rogues gallery now and then only to be ALLEY MUGGED by the dark knight!?!?/ anyways thats how i feel bout it.

it was superman vs HULK
batman vs CAPTAIN AMERICA
aquaman vs NAMOR
flash vs QUICKSILVER
wonderwoman vs STORM
green lantern vs SILVER SURFER
