My first instinct is Thor but I agree with Thekahn, he's going to be absent a lot if we're going with classic type Thor with Asgard being away from Earth. I pick Supes if that's the case. If it's Asgard on Earth Thor then I go with chiseled glory boy with the long flowing blonde locks..er I'm also not fruity.
Re: Who would you choose as your powerhouse for your team?
1. Superman - He always does what he has to...
2. Thor - Never gives up but he ain't as human as Supes.
3. Firestorm - The classic one. Two Brains and some good powers.
4. Jordan - Strong will and fearless but he went insane once.
5. SS - Least Human way of thinking.
I'm stuck between thor and ss. SS has cosmic awarness which would come in really handy, not to mention he's the most versatile. Only problem is I'm not too appreciative of him being a pacifist. I don't want him calling me every now and then complaining about grannies crossing the street.
Thor on the other hand, altho not as versatile, i'd expect to simply get the job done, no questions asked.
i'd pick supes last, simply coz he's too much of a boyscout... plus i don't want him suddenly not showing up for work one day only to find out he ran into a crippled grandma with a kryptonite necklace.

Its not Superman who loses every time Luthor unleashes a 100ft atomic powered robot on the city, or bankrolls a new collection of super villains to rape, rob, pilliage, and burn - its the people Superman is suppose to protect.
So yeah, Superman gets plenty in the win column. Its the countless people who have lost loved ones, homes, and businesses that lose.
Honestly, I know Superman isn't a coldblooded killer but there has to be a point where his clear conscience comes at an unreasonable amount of pain, death, and suffering caused by his failure to permanently rid the world of scumbags like Luthor.
SS would be my powerhouse. Since he automatically works as a team according to stips, so under my direction he would be the ideal powerhouse. His knowledge and high level matter manipulator and mental abilities makes him too valuable to pass up.
Supes - Besides big weaknesses everyone knows about I don't want someone on my team that won't do what is necessary. Definitely my 3rd Choice.
Hal - Is a good choice. But I think SS easily has the potential to do everyhting he can do but a notch better. 4th Choice.
Thor - He would be my second choice. The power and mentality is great. Would gladly have him on my team. 2nd Choice.

I absolutely agree but thats if he just killed luthor then... it wouldn't really be a comicbook. A hero needs their villian, or else a hero loses their day job.
But I agree I rather have someone on my team who can do what is needed.
This may suprise you but I choose Thor as the one.
The avengers were my favorite team growing up mostly because of Thor. When Thor entered the scene I felt he was the man that was going to make it happen (He seemed so much powerful than the rest of the team). Surfer has been knocked off his board too many times and fought stupidly too many times for me. And he is much weaker without his board because of lack of mobility. Don't know much about Hal. I don't know if firestorm is even bulletproof (can be shot from behind).
If Superman isn't hindered by stupidity most of the time and isn't as weak to magic then I may choose him. Why doesn't he use his vibrating speed more often or Why hasn't he flown into the sun more often to get an advantage on an enemy? DD would have never killed him if he did. Maybe it makes the story more interesting or maybe he couldn't stand to leave the threat on Earth for more than a minute.
