Build an effective Super Team

You are funded ten billion dollars to pay for the expenses of a super team. Some members will cost more per year depending on their power ratings. Mainly due to the destruction that they may cause in property damage per year. This also allows them to draw a pay check, and any other expenses that occur in the field. They all make the same starting salary per week (in case anyone wonders). Some will naturally cause more collateral damage, which is why the more powerful members will cost more in terms of insurance.

You can only choose up to 7 members.

Street level characters cost 500 million
Meta level characters cost 2 billion
High Meta characters cost 3 billion
Low Herald characters cost 4 billion
Mid Herald characters cost 5 billion
High Herald characters cost 6 billion

You can choose characters that have died as well.
Who do you choose, and why would your super team be able to deal with the threats that teams like the Avenger's, and the Justice League handle on a day to day basis?

10 Billion total?
6 billion : Thor or SS - High Herald
4 billion : Loki - Low Herald

The sheer versatility and power these guys bring to the table isn't being matched or beaten by anyone with the stips you mentioned.

Power is one thing, but do they have the ability to work as a good unit? What happens when you require subtler means of gaining information? What happens if your only back up is taken hostage? Or incapacitated?

Silver Surfer is basically Loki+.

Thor is.......Thor. High herald level physical stats, planetary weather manip, FTL travel speeds, space warps, energy absorption/redirection, Godblast, and other haxx powers Mjolnir has.

You want subtle? Call Loki. You want a schemer and tactician? Call Loki.

I defy anyone to come up with a better team with the stips you mentioned in your original post.

Superman: 6 billion

Iron Man: 3 billion.

Reed Richards: 500 million.

Loki is basically a mini Cosmic Cube. He can do almost anything with his magic. Shapechange, teleport, read minds, turn invisible, turn intangible, travel between dimensions, augment his physical stats, transmute matter, force fields, possession (?), fire powerful magical bolts.

Hulk and Nate Grey. Both amount to 5 billion each as mid heralds. Nate provides with a decent amount of versatility without going overboard(which is abhi's qualm), while Hulk provides a decent level of raw power to supplement said versatility.

Edit: And they have worked effectively as a team in comics before, so they definitely seem to be as well suited as any team in this thread, including yours, pym-ftw.

Street level characters cost 500 million
Meta level characters cost 2 billion
High Meta characters cost 3 billion
Low Herald characters cost 4 billion
Mid Herald characters cost 5 billion
High Herald characters cost 6 billion

Street: Rose Tattoo 500 mil
High Meta: Batman 1M - 3Billion
Low Herald: Doom - 4Billion
Mid meta- Yellowjacket (Hank Pym) - 2billion
Street - Black Panther 500 mil

Totally shit for teamwork, but to deal with the big threats, I believe my team can pull together.

Ikaris- 5 billion- heavy hitter
Blue Devil- 2 billion- Mystic, back up power house and back up techie
Adam Strange- 2 billion- techie, strategist
Daredevil - 500 million - because he's a badass who never quits
Elektra- 500 million - badass, also a source of sexual tension.

can i use the money of the person i hire to buy more minions?

Too much versatility is a hindrance in a team too. Look at Annihilators.

So far my team is still the best bang for the buck. 😮‍💨

Your team falls apart when Loki gets greedy and Thor has to stop not only the threat but his brother as well.

I'm glad you realize that's the only thing stopping them. In terms of power/versatility no team anyone can come up with is doing better with the stips mentioned.

So, you'd rather create a team that has a success ratio of about 10% because Loki will 90% of the time decide to be his usual self rather than create a team that will actually work together and still be well rounded?

Also, a Thor/Loki team up is absolutely screwed if they are facing someone who can take away magic or is immune to magic - Black Alice comes to mind. Having too many eggs in one basket (in this case magic) gives you a flaw in the armor - besides the most obvious which is Loki's own personality.

Even beyond that - my own team would wipe the floor with you. 1000 Lucky Ms. Marvel level Rogues all doing naked kamikazes on Thor/Loki would drain their life force + powers.

Plus, mystic mindr@pe or bfr and there goes your 1000 rogues.

Sure. Unless you get unlucky and only bfr/mindrape about 200 of them. Both attacks which can also be blocked or fixed (Iron Man psi shields and teleporter). Any attack/defense you give against my team will just result in us being lucky and you being unlucky. Given the sheer numbers advantage, the ability to synergistically mesh powersets and abilities between my team, and how lucky we will be, I'm pretty sure Loki/Thor don't get the award for being the greatest combination in this thread.

Majestic and Nova.

ZopZop, is broken!

Thor or Surfer let loose their planetary level attacks and your entire team, along with the rest of planet, is gone.

No one is touching the Loki/Thor-Surfer team up given the stips by the OP.

Loki goes intangible and attacks. Nothing anyone on your team can do to touch him.

Lol. No wonder your insurance premiums are so high.

I time travel back in time to undo any damage to the surroundings, thus lowering my premiums.

Majestic= Superman+Reed+Thor with immunity to magic.

Nova= Perfect analysis of any opponent with the power to defeat most of them.

P.S. You have been charged a fee for the unlicensed use of my catchphrase!
