Create a Comic 'Dream Team'
One is allowed 10 characters, they can be any characters through out the history of 'comicdom' and can be from any comic universe. They must be either a hero or an anti hero, no villans allowed. It would be handy if you give a short description of whom you have nomominated and why. Describe what type of team you are trying to emulate, and what type of threats they would be fighting.
My Dream Team :
Powerhouse : Vegeta, Dragon ball Z (He's kind of La manga's answer to Black Adam and Namor, in other words he's an Ass. This is the main reason why i can relate to him, and IMO its his character flaws that give him so much appeal. With Class 100 strength, and power to match Superman, there are few in comic Dom who can withstand the fury of Vegeta)
Secondary Powerhouse : Ultimate Thor, the Ultimates (Who would that thought revamping a mythological character could be so successful ? He continues to aspire to be everything that 616 Thor is not, e.g. original and interesting. He's also a pretty powerful guy, just ask the Skrull's piloting those mother ships..)
Iron man, marvel comics (This guy is everything and everywhere at the moment. I’m glad that Marvel are showing him the attention he undoubtedly deserves. IMO, Tony Stark is appealing because he takes the Batman principality; that anyone could become a Super hero and takes it that one step further. In other words if one is rich and intelligent enough one could have the power of a god. Fantasy is that much better when its linked with realism, and Iron man is definitely based in realism. I also think he has a lot of potential, and his multi tasking genius abilities are essential on any team.)
Iceman, marvel, the X-men (I don’t like the current version of the, but his powers to control water molecules and Temperature, give him a lot of potential. With a bit of imagination and a new characterization, a writer could make him as popular as Grant Morison’s Animal man.)
Rogue : (Always thought she was the hottest X-chick, and i had a real crush on her in the original cartoon series. There are so many directions you can take a characer with these kinds of powers, and she's incredibly handy as a PIS tool. I love the notion that she cannot touch anyone, as well. I return the Miss Marvel powers to her and maybe give her a strength increase.)
Emma Frost You need a real ***** and a telepath, We all know how hot she is, and she's probably dirty, being an X-stripper and all. Although its not very popular around the forum, i really like her secondary mutation. It means she can get rough and dirty when the fights come along. Her characterization as the X-***** makes her a great tool for relationship development. )
Doctor Shaman, The Authority : (This guy is what Strange wishes he could be, IMO he's made magic cool ! His powers linked with transcendent-probability, rather than the inexplicable aluminous mystic gases, that are associated with the more famous comic wizarads . A real powerhouse as well, he once stopped the planet from orbiting.)
Flash : (My favorite comic hero , nuff said !!!!!!!! )
V :
(If you haven't read V fo Vendetta read it NOW!!!! IMO he's an adult version of batman, with a more intriguing origin. His unethical methods also make him most appealing.)
Rorsarch: (If you haven't read Watchmen, read it .... The ending nearly made me cry ! 🙂 )
