I don't mean create new characters, I mean, if you could work for DC or Marvel and make your own team out of existing characters, who would you put on a team, who would you give a solo series and so on.

Feel free to incorporate the answers to these following questions:

-What company would you work for?

-Who would be on your superhero team and WHY?

-Which character would you make a major change to, what would it be, and why?

-Have any plot ideas?

Tick/Spider-Man team-up. They fight Chairface Chippendale, Firelord, and inner city venerial disease.

...t'would sell millions I tell you.

I actually had an idea earlier today while reading a thread an another board about how redundant Aquaman is on the JLA and someone said he would probably flourish on another team. The idea borrows from Heroes for Hire, when Namor was funding them. AM starts a land-based team and funds them (he runs a massive freaking kingdom, he should be able to throw around at LEAST as much cash as Bats), but also leads them. I'd give him back the water hand (I heard he lost it), I don't care how many writers/editors that would piss off.

I'd put Animal Man on there, beucase I just think the interaction between the personalities and powers of those two would be interesting. I'd also take Cassandra Cain (the last Batgirl) and Catman for the ubiquitous street-levellers. I'd bring in Damage and Ray, and have them develop their powers a great deal in the title, with Ray reaching Dr. Light levels of versatility and Damage gaining much more fine control of his powers, making accidental and tragic releases of stored energy a thing of the past. I duno much about the mystic characters in DC, but I'd want someone like that on the team. Maybe Zatanna. And I'd want a techno guy. Take some random obscure scientist from one of DC's books, have him stumble across some alien tech that supes up his brainpower, turning him into an Engineer type, only replacing the nanotech with an arsenal stored in a pocket dimension that he accesses by thought. He would, of course, have a suit of armor with a few basic weapons, uber sensor suites and a shield generator. I'd probably want a speedster, but I'd probably have to invent my own, since Wally West is taken (or even completely gone, as of IC).

Basically, I'd try to have this team take on threats that haven't shown up on the JLA's radar. Extradimensional army forming to attack Earth? Go kick their asses in before they hit the planet. Some random evil genius designing some new device that might actually threaten the world? Put him down in the planning stages (while still having to fight through his army of evil droids or soemthing).

But yeah. I think the real struggle would be fiding threats that would be credible world-threateners but still write the situations in such a way that would explain why the JLA doesn't just step in and take over first. Of course, this would eventually happen, leading to the usual "Heroes coming to blows over a misunderstanding" scene.

Basically, it would be a fairly powerful team, but one in which no one is made to look like crap to make someone else look good. The title would be one as free from PIS and CIS as possible.

It's not a new team, but I'd love to write the Ultramarines. These guys nearly took down the JLA, created a floating city, and they've still only been mentioned in like 7 comics.

That sounds pretty awesome, man!

Anyone else have any neat ideas?

I'd start up something involving Ragman. Comletely underrated character.

Other than that, not many ideas... though I'd love to write a really grim, moody, scary Batman like Arkham Asylum. Twould be fun.

I would do a MASSIVE DC/Marvel combination. Not a crossover, a fusion. The very very very basic premise would be that some power being has fused the worlds together, and all the villains are teaming up to take over (sort of like a battle royal of comics). There would be lots of subplots, cause this would take a long time to get through the series - such as DC characters hooking up with Marvel characters (one that comes to mind are Wonder Woman and Thor possibly). There would be a section wherein the mutants feel as though they are discriminated against (you know someone like Superman isn't gonna trust Wolverine), there's a fight over who should be considered the leaders and such. Eventually they work it all out and there is a sort of Master JLU/Avengers society, wherein the basic leaders are Superman, Batman, Captain America, Professor X, Wonder Woman and Spider-Man (Just making that off the top of my head, it would probably change if I gave it lots of thoughts). Yadda yadda yadda, it would end with lots of deaths on both sides, and a sort of definitive "single comic-verse" to go from.

such an epic
it would be pretty cool

Mine is a cool anime cartoon style show
with characters from: Teen Titans, Kirby, Mon Colle Knights
Inuyasha, Mew Mew Power, Cardcaptors and Danny Phantom.
It's called Justice Knights.

Thor versus Sentry

It would be so damn awesome ....

That would be pretty awesome.

Hardly anyone would root for Sentry though.

i always wanted to read a series where the main characters are presented as background characters. like, if it was a superhero team, the story mainly revolves around the people they fight and their perspective of the team, not on the team and their perspectives of themselves and eachother. don't know who would be ideal, but i'd try to write something like that if i got into the business. it'd be nice if some of the characters were well-known, so the writing could be a different perspective than the one most-known, not just a new perspective people have nothing to contrast with.

I'd so work for Marvel. Hands down kick ass.
Ultimate Spiderman and (currently happening) Ultimate Shadow Cat (in her spider-girl costume) vs. Marvel Nemisis Altered Spidey and Altered Iron-Man (looks like War machine.) I love these four. They're bad ass and strong as hell.
No changes. They're good the way they are.
Peter and Kitty are on a date and are attacked by altered clone of Petey and altered Iron man.

Uhh, making a change (due to the number of girls in the team).
Teen Titans, Kirby, Mon Colle Knights, Danny Phantom and
She-Venom.

lol

i think a squirrel girl series would be a hoot

i really like the idea of the sort of satirical look at fanboyism and canon that she potrays, unfortunatly it might run thin eventually

i'll just keep prayin she winds up in nextwave

She-Venom. I love Danny Phantom
! But he needs to unlock all his powers before he's completely useful.

Actually in this series, he has all his powers just like
Starfire and her starbolts eyes, Raven's time power
and Mondo and Rockna multiple spells.

I'd love to write New Avengers, Captain America, and maybe a new Force Works with Jim Rhodes at the helm. I'd have to roll around some ideas for a lineup for the latter, but I'd definately put modifications to the War Machine armor, and I'd bring back Century. He was a great character.

My series would include Phoenix of the White Crown sending out all the Phoenix hosts we saw in Here Comes Tomorrow to find her missing pieces through time,space and dimensions. Each one having to face an aspect of the being they are trying to reform. Some could run into somebody who is insane with power, another goes to one who is using the power to heal the sick, so then a moral dilemma arises because being incomplete the members of the Phoenix Corps still possess their human emotions. I call it Phoenix ForceX. Then at the end they all go after Rachel in the time stream with an epic battle explaining why the Phoenix Force mysteriously abandoned her.

Great ideas people!

Keep em coming.

I'm gonna have to think about what I would do.

I know what I'm about to say people are going to hate, but I've always loved this idea.

It centers around a new Character, that is supremely powerful but young. He was an orphan found by J'onn J'onnz, back when he was on the police force. Intrigued by the young boy's immunity to Telepathy, Manhunter raised him, unbeknownst to anyone else. He named the boy Avarice. When Avarice was 15, he left J'onn to travel around the world on his own. In his travels, he gained more power, as well as gaining friends. These friends include Tim Drake, Beast Boy, a romantic prospect in Cassie Sandsmark, and a powerful wizard who was released from his prison by Avarice. Years later while he was apprehending a criminal, Avarice lost control of his considerable power, and destroyed a whole town.

The JLA investigated, Manhunter being one of the group, found the culprit to be Avarice. A fight between Superman, and Avarice insued. When Superman was regaining his footing from a punch, Avarice pleaded out to J'onn for help. He was underpressure from not only Superman, but Wonder Woman as well. Finally when it seemed like Avarice would die rather then admit defeat, Manhunter stepped in and protected him. A JLA, unwanting to fight their comrade, shunned Manhunter from the team, and left.

Avarice and Manhunter reconciled, and created a new organisation. They Recruited Wondergirl, Robin, and the Wizard Avarice let out.

The series would be based around the teams adventures, as well as Avarice's history. Such as why he's so powerful, and who exactly is he.

Oh well, I would enjoy it but then again it was my mind that thought it up. lol

I'd love to write the New Avengers. Id make them more like the JLA of Grant Morisson, i.e. like a patheon of Gods rather than a collection of Super heroes. They would also be dealling with truly cosmic threats on the level of Thanos, Galactus Mephisto and the Heralds. There would certainly be no ass kicking by ninjas. My Team:

Photon : After phasing into the Sentrys time stream, he is forced to bond with Robert Renolds to ensure the the total destruction of the void. With the energies of the Sentry and the powers of Gennis Vehll, Photon has now become the most powerful Super heroe in the universe, but at what cost?

Beta Ray Bill : After the Return of King Thor, the cyborg from thingy is made Asgards official protector of earth.

Namor : After unlocking the genetic powers of his ancient origins (I.e. the Gods and eternals) Namor has now become the strongest meta on the plannet. Only the Hulk has stsrength that rivals his own. N.B. he would be the 'Black Adam' of the team. NO speedoes !!!

Iron Man

Invisble Woman : After breaking up with Reed, she is now with Namor.

Spiderman

Jean Grey : No Phoenix Force, now with Logan

Wolverine : Now with Jean

Captain Ammerica : the Captain of the Team

I would also love to do a D.C. version of the ultimates, i.e. same characters but with more scientifically plausible origins, and completely diffent takes on things like Magic and Gods. Think Supreme Power meets the matrix. I would be writing although Morisson and Mark Miller would be able to help.

For the regular D.C. universe i would create a version of the T.Bolts/Authority, that are run by Check Mate and our in constant conflict with the JLA.

Rogues Team:

Black Adam
Captain Atom
Guy Gardner
Manchetser Black
Bardra
Major Disaster
Zauriel
Animal Man
Catman
Huntress

JLA kicking everones ass. BECAUSE THEY CAN.

That sounds pretty badass, Yahman.

Which character (s) would you guys make major changes to? And what would they be?

And to make it clear, Danny has, besides the Ghost Ray, Invicibility
Flight, Ghostly Wail, also Duplication.

I'd love to make a series about a kid with powers beyond his means, and although he can control him, the govt still wanted him dead. It would just be great to see him fight his way through an entire label of superheroes to see why this kid is what he is. Kind of a Superboy Prime but no flight, heat vision or any Superman abilities outside of extreme durability and uber-strength. I'd prefer it be out on Marvel, but any label would work.

A Captain America/Punisher kind of write up. Not necessarily a versus, because they usually go to pot. But one where they worked together yet with different ideals.

Or Slade. Deathstroke is the awesomeness.
