Superboy Prime
Flash
Thor
Zatanna
Sodam Yat Ion

With Speed Blitzing + Thor and Ion for Versatility + Zatanna for Magic

I think this would be my team too. Except what if the enemy can only be attack by telepathy?

Also i just broke them into groups for convience of reading.

No one wants Hulk ? 😕

Screw it I'm drafting heavy hitters.

1. Zuras
2. Thor
3. Superman
4. Silver Surfer
5. BRB

Bring on the bad guys.

Will SBP actually work with the team or will he be a dick?

In this scenario the team mates will get along.

I'm surprised more people don't pick orion or maxima

Wolverine
Orion
Thor
Hal
Flash

In that case i am shocked no one is picking SBP. He is easily the Strongest on the field plus other superman abilities.

Unless the challenge is going to be strength based, the other guys are plenty strong here, I felt. So I went for versatility more than anything, to cover all the bases.

Yeah, I considered the Telepathy aspect but I figure with Zatanna's Magic that she could have possible answers to a lot of things. It'd have to be a crazy opponent if the Versatility of Zatanna + Thor + Ion was not enough to develop a solution.

Superman (Leadership/Force)
Martian Manhunter (Telepathy/Force)
The Flash (Invincible Speed/Speed Manipulation)
Silver Surfer (Energy/Versatility)
Thor (Magic/Versatility/Force)

1) Reed Richards
2) Silver Surfer
3) Thor
4) Captain Marvel
5) Martian Manhunter

I tried to pick people that can transition to many different roles due to their versatility and also covered all types of major threats like cosmic, tech based, magic based, or telepathy based.

So with the stipulations of this match I tried to avoid anybody with glaring weaknesses so Superman, SBP, even Green Lanterns. I tried to avoid.

I don't feel I lost out though, I have Captain Marvel who is an easy replacement for Superman imo, Along with Thor they should take care of frontline power as well as being able to cover if the threat is magic based. Plus Mjlonir is always a great weapon to bring to battle. Thor is also very versatile and can easily slip into other roles if need be.

Captain Marvel is a great brawler to have as well and adds magical fuel for other people to use.

Silver Surfer is a better replacement for a GL. Has speed, and great matter/energy manip and helps in the cosmic department. Also diverse and powerful enough to slip into a frontline role if need be or stand on the back side for ranged attack.

Martian Manhunter is there to cover telepathy, also he is versatile enough to also slip into a multiple line of roles from front line to ranged attack to hit and run to finally being a staller. He also serves as a team unifyer which is great here.

Reed Richards I think it the most important pick ere. While he may not be able to serve as a frontline soldier,his role would strictly be analysis, and tech support.

I've also given him great tools to work with. Thor's hammer, Surfer's power cosmic, and Shazam's lightning bolt.

Allowing shared thinking via MM this group should conceivably come up with any tool for any situation. Great individual power mixed with great power combos.

Maybe they lose something from not having a true speedster like Flash but I think Surfer and Captain Marvel can cover that kind of threat.

also possibly not having a Strange type character with not just vast magical powers but also great knowledge in magic. But I feel the combined experience of Thor and Captain Marvel should be able to cover that.

He's gotta hope for a yellow sun tho.

Reed Richards
Superboy Prime
Thor
Martian Manhunter
Silver Sufer

My final team is this (realized I didn't say it earlier)

Reed
Thor
Flash
Surfer
SBP

In that order. I'd sub in MM or GL if one of those got taken.

I'll admit to being very surprised at the amount of people choosing Reed.

With the Fight potentially being somewhere devoid of tech and likely having no time to Prep, he could be Speedblitzed or KOed as soon as the fight starts or else be reduced only using his Elasticity to aid the team.

Flash
Dr strange
Reed Richards
Superman
Captain marvel

I transfer the power of shaman to superman.
I get all of dr strange stuff and amp Clark like crazy.
I toss Clark inside a galactus destroyer level suit embedded with dr strange level magic. Toss reeds arsenal of omgwtfpwnjesusinabasket gear at clark....
All of it shoved into a extra dimensional magical pouch that Clark can summon and use at will as prepared by strange

I cast spells that encase him in cyttorak level armor...

I do all this as soon as the fight Starts cause flash is manipulating time and speed for the group to allow this to happen in an instant...

The I unleash supermagictech Clark upon the threat while everyone else hides.

And if Clark loses... Dr strange bamfs everyone to another dimension cause if Clark can't jobs win. We all screwed.

Versatility...Surfer
Strength...Hulk
Telepathy...Martian Manhunter
Power...Thor
Strategist...Ironman (need someone that can survive if his other teammates are out of the fight...Reed would most likely get choked out if his friends are down).

No real "prep" is needed for Surfer or Green Lantern to amp him up with either power cosmic or a GL ring (thought and action is all that is required - no significant time lapse).

He'd instantly be the most dangerous player in the field.

Except there are at least 5 here stronger than Savage Hulk, and many tied who also have other abilities. Good choice though....
