Ok so something similar to the Onslaught Saga or the Secret Wars happens again on Marvel Earth, and it causes every "A-List" Hero on Earth to disappear(but not the villains). With no more of Marvel's "big names" to draw from, you have to create a new Avengers team out of the 2nd and 3rd string heroes that remain to combat the villains who now feel like a bunch of kids in a candy store. Here are the stipulations...

1. None of Marvel's best. The team has to be made of characters who have never enjoyed the fame or notoriety of guys like Thor or Captain America. As a general rule of thumb, if a character was actually featured in any of the Infinity arcs(Gauntlet, War, Crusade) then he's ineligible. If they made a cameo or something like that it's fine, but if they actively participated in any of the major featured confrontations in the core books then you should look elsewhere. Also no Squirel Girl(since I know she didn't appear in any of those and is bound to come up).

2. The team must be made of Heroes or Anti Heroes with the capacity and inclination to work within a structured team environment.

3. The team must have between 7 and 9 members and a leader should be appointed.

4. It should be a balanced team with varying levels of power, tech, and both male and female members.

5. The team should have the ability to take down Marvel's remaining A-List Villains.

Hmm... hmm

Will post response upon further contemplation.

Pondering....

Hmm... I've decided to lift the part of the stipulation regarding the Infinity arcs because after giving it some thought even a lot of what would be considered B and C list heroes got involved in some way or another. So just use your best judgement regarding what constitutes a second stringer and we can deal with things on a case by case basis.

This is harder then I would have thought.

Me too, that's why I lifted the Infinity arc stipulation . I couldn't come up with a viable team either(at least one that could take down someone like Ultron or Dr. Doom).

Nova-Leader
Exiles Blink
Brother Voodoo
Jamie Madrox
Dead Girl
Doop
Nico Minoru
Box IV

And we all know Doop really just SquirrelGirl in jelly bean form.

So i can pick people from the Infinity arc ?

We could always just recruit Alpha Flight to our country. They wrote the book on C-listers slaying gods.

ermm

...and what are we considering A-list? Because someone like, say, BRB is practically Thor's equal, but down a notch in popularity.

Hmm... good question. Let's say that B-List means that they've...

1. Never had their own SUCCESSFUL solo series(though a mini series is ok).

2. Are never the "go to guy" in any team books their part of when the shit hits the fan.

3. Aren't considered to be an equal/counterpart to a mainstream hero. An inferior knock off's type is ok, but not someone like Beta Rayt Bill who's arguably just another version of Thor with equal power.

I'm thinking guys from Excalibur, Alpha Flight, etc...but I don't know if they'd count, since technically they've had their own book for years now.

I'll give it a stab...

Captain Britain
Balder
Ares
Nightcrawler
Jack Flag
Cloak annnd
Dagger
Heimdall
Talisman

I'm thinking that they could probably afford to take down Doom, Magneto, Stiltman...

Here's my team of B listers....Good night.

Would guys like Wonder Man or The Vision (somewhat big name Avengers, but still sort of B-list on the whole) count, or are they too high on the popularity scale?

Ok this is the best B Listers team I could come up with.

The Leader: Nova
The Brutes: Super Sabra, The Forgotten One,
The Powa: Pulsar, Genis
The Street Lvlers: Adam X,Domino
The Mental and Magicals: Tana Nile, Vengeance

Corsair - Leader
Starhawk
Forge
Oracle
Impossible Man
Shamrock
Talisman

Yeah so? Not the point, the point is that you lose. *pushes llagrok*

Better than naming who is allowed, why don't you list who isn't allowed, and make everyone else fair game.

They're certaintly far less characters who arent allowed then vice versa.

This is sort of my standard lineup on this sort of thread. I'm not sure they all qualify as B-list. Maybe A-minus, but definitely with no true icons. Still, half of the teams posted so far are random assortments of cosmic beings, so I feel alright with it.

Leader: Wonder Man
The team is based around Simon taking a more proactive approach to the superhero aspect of his life, which he has often neglected. A major disaster in L.A. prompts him to recreate the West Coast Avengers, and he recruits people he trusts the most in the hero community.

Ms. Marvel
Also seeking a more proactive approach to her superhero career, Carol agrees to join Simon's new team as the tactical field leader.

The Vision
Pre-Disassembled, the Vision is an obvious choice for Simon's team.

The Beast
One of Simon's best friends, he agrees to come out to L.A. in a heartbeat.

Scarlet Witch
I dunno, I'd retcon House of M or something. Would anyone really miss it?

Quicksilver
On the team at Wanda's behest. Trying to redeem himself in the eyes of the hero community.

Raider
A one-time patsy of the supervillain Rampage, he is still in possession of the duplicate armor given to him to combat Wonder Man a few years ago. A good man at heart, he has been hesitant to use the armor for fear of being confused with the villain. He eventually confronts Simon, who asks him to join the team. Simon, after all, has a keen interest in redemption. This also gives him the opportunity to brush up on his munitions background, as Raider has no technical proficiency to speak of and relies on Simon for repairs and upgrades to the armor.

Spider
Wonder Man's former neighbor and wannabe sidekick who became imbued with a portion of Simon's ionic energy, allowing him to create ionic duplicates of himself. It had been revealed that Spider kept a portion of the energy when he gave the bulk of it back. Simon learns of this and asks Spider to join the team out of a sense of responsibility over the kid.

That's a A list, well most of them.
