No Teams like Odin, Zues, hades, Blah blah blah.Squirell Girl
Karate Kid
Dr. Strange
Mr. Fantastic
Green Lantern Kyle Rayner
Flash
Iceman
Classic Juggernaut
For the Purpose of this Thread, Dr. Strange is not allowed any outside help from the Vishanti or Eternity.
As for an all-winner squad hashed up like yours, I think this counter-team'd do well:
Deadpool
Kitty Pryde
Black Alice
Supergirl
Rachel Grey
Blink
Midnighter
Jenny Quantuum
I didn't go for a combination of powers, so much as for good team synergy and possible counters. I didn't want a mirror match, because Doom always loses to Reed and Zoom always loses to Flash. Had to go a different route.
Deadpool is mainly there to piss off Squirrel Girl to no ends by never shutting up and regenerating and essentially stalemating her jobber aura. Kitty Pryde's intangibility is not only a potent weapon but good defense. I was thinking of Karate Kid at the time I chose her. Black Alice is obviously a counter to Dr. Strange. Steal all magic powers for 24 hours? Purpose served. Supergirl is basically a meatshield to absorb the brunt of attacks and help run interference. Rachel Grey's got power too, but I was more interested in having a telepathic conduit between the team members in case Midnighter needed all of them to work as one for manuevers. Plus, unless your GL is constantly shielding everyone from tp attacks, which takes effort, your team is weak on the mental playing field. Blink's teleportation, while I don't plan on it being used for BFR, is a good supplemental defense with Kitty and a roundabout counter to Flash. Midnighter himself is the greatest tactical thinker and can calculate millions of combat scenarios in a second with his brain in addition to being a Cap-level fighter.
As the leader, I chose Jenny Quantuum, because choosing Cap to be the tactician and leader wouldn't have meshed the group well. Cap would never be able to lead Deadpool and all these girls but Jenny Quantuum could. Neither could Midnighter himself since he'd probably just intimidate everyone and force control. If the girls of the group see Jenny as the leader, they'd identify with her better. She's a flexible leader and would be able to bring Midnighter's expertise into play without Midnighter being alienated from the girls.
I was very tempted to pick conventional counters like Warbird for energy absorption... but she's got alpha female syndrome, would be a worthless leader and would put the team in danger with her overconfidence and maverick attitude. BTW, Squirrel Girl was annoying to deal with. As much as I'm confident Deadpool would keep her preoccupied with his antics, Deadpool is just as prone to screw his own teammates. Besides, I don't think Kitty's forgotten about Deadpool's greatest single move in history: Shoryuken!!!!11
