Simple, Earth in a hybrid of the DC/Marvel universe needs it's protectors. How would you assemble the team? All heroes are available but with a restrictions on how you build the team.

Those restrictions are.

The team must contain no more than 8 members with 5 active and the rest reserves.

Between those 8 members you get 2 heralds, 4 metas and 2 street levels to make up the team.

You can use the former KMC tier thread as a guide or your own opinion to determine what power level a character belongs to but be honest about it.

Keep in mind that earth could face a number of dangers so try to keep the team versatile to deal with any number of situations.

Captain america (leader)
Thor (power)
Wolverine (fighter)
Ironman (versatility)
Wonder Woman (strength)
Northstar (hope)
Jean Grey (mind)

Cable (pre surfer fight) leader
Wonder woman (Muscle/mystic/training partner for wolvie, ga, colossus and taskmaster.

Forge (booyakasha)
Wolverine (Specialist)
Colossus (Ground Muscle)
Kitty Pride or Bishop (specialist)

GA Connor Hawke (versatility / fighting)
Taskmster (versatility / fighting)

Thor
Martian Manhunter

Iron Man
Red Tornado
Mantis
Hope

Batman
Captain America

Well my team would be

Heralds
Nova Prime- Would function as the leader of the team. He's very powerful and the worldmind would be a tremendous asset to the team, providing information on many potential otherworldy threats.

Thor- Would be the powerhouse of the team. I wavered between him and Superman but choose Thor because the dimensional travel would be a great resource for the team to have.

Metas
Spider-Man- Spider-Man is very versatile, so he'd be useful on a variety of missions. He scientific background would be utilized greatly in a number of scenarios. Also his Spider-Senses would make it nearly impossible to catch the team off guard.

Invisible Woman- Very underrated. Her forcefields she can provide could save the team in many situations. And he ability to make people invisible will be a major asset anytime the team would need to use stealth.

Nico Minoru- The team needs someone familiar with Magic and she's use to working in a team.

Psylocke- The team could use a telepath on the team, also her fighting ability makes her a great asset to the team.

Street
Black Panther- A master strategist, an adept fighter and very intelligent. Along with Spider-Man he'd be the one to go to in the area of science although his strength would be physics and advanced technology. He also be one to send on stealth missions

Hawkeye- Longtime Avenger, has leadership experience is a skilled hand to hand combatant and with a number of weapons.

I'll a do DC one later on. i was assuming the purpose was to assemble a team that would actually work and not just throw together a bunch of names.

Silver Surfer-Cosmic knowlege, power, and senses.
Wonder Woman- Brute strength, fighting, magic knowlege, and that lasso.

Vision- Always good to have a computer that can interface and keep up with heralds.
Invisible Woman- Probably the best Meta ever.
Miss Martian- You need a telepath. I like this one because she isn't a physical liabilty like most Telepaths. She can hang with even some heralds.
Jay Garrick- A speedster is a must have for any good team.

Captain America- Awesome fighter and great tactician.
Midnighter- The Yang to Captain America's Yin. Complete opposite style and character. Good for drama.

Tasky or Juggs dont have a shady past. They are villians. Mags is more of an villian than a hero.

actually taskmaster has been a retconned as a "good guy" all along, in the eyes of shield anyway. magneto is a political extremist and is currently considered a hero by the x-men and most of the superhero community. Juggs is just a greyhat as well, he's had his hgeroice and villainous phases and his story has been retconned a dozen times to acommodate different takes on the character.

Retcons suck and are not true to the character, its just writers thinking what if character A is a good guy. Next writer comes a long, nope hes a bad guy.

that they do, but that's life

Between those 8 members you get 2 heralds, 4 metas and 2 street levels to make up the team.

Active

1. Emma Frost (Team leader, telepath, meta, communication link, experienced, financial resources)
2. Wiccan (Resident mage, meta, versatility, lightning, teleportation)
2. Hal Jordan (High end energy manipulation, herald, forcefields, experience, willpower)
3. Sersi (Matter manipulation, telepathy, teleportation, brute force, overall versatility)
5. Elektra (street-ish, martial artist, stealth, espionage, versatility)

Reserve

6. Northstar (Speed, meta)
7. Lady Shiva (martial artist, street)
8. Wonder Girl (Bracers, wishing lasso, brute force)

Villains are fine only if they're redeemable. For example Magneto, Taskmaster or Sandman are fine but Doom, Apocalypse or Red skull are not. The Avengers have had some former villain on their roster. Hawkeye began as a villain, though not a very serious one. Quicksilver and the Scarlett Witch were in the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. So if they're Thunderbolt material then they fair game here.

This is a badass team. I would replace captain marvel with someone else though, he is too much like thor. Besides that, this team is a beast.

For some strange reason I can't see surfer as a team player. I know he has worked on teams before but he just seem like a solo type of guy to me. I can't see a guy that can basically do anything being on a team.

My team would be batman... Cause when you are batman do you really need anyone else?

Forge
Wolverine
Iron Fist

Street

Batman
Captain America

Active

Dr. Strange
Thor
Wolverine
Iron Fist
Captain America

Benched
Reed/Valeria
Forge
Batman

The way I see it this team is going to do pretty good all around as mystics, tanks, specialists, and techs are filled.

a Richards supplying Forge with an ideas list along with batman pragmatism and bankroll is definitely going to be something to worry about for anyone with just the three of them. I'm keeping batman on reserve as the batkick would just make this team utterly unstoppable.

My only concern is that this team might be over the top.

*** Valeria is dependent on being able to be used as a future version as she was already stated somewhere to be smarter than her father which is some scary stuff when you think about it.

Thor is kinda the same thing, tho. He tends to "solo" threats more than coordinate with his other teammates. Doesn't mean that he's not useful in a team, tho.

yeah forge is a champ on support. im surprised hes never been on someones payroll. though he needs another techie for ideas as his imagination is a bit crappy hes also a low level mystic as his early mystic experience was never retconned to my knowledge. wonder if he left an ultimate nullifier lying around

Naah, Surfer is more of a universal hero while thor is more of a earth based hero. I can't see surfer following rules whereas I could see cap telling thor to go bash someones head in and thor flying out there doing it.

Well, if we put the Surfer's wanderlust into the mix, yeah, I would agree that he would be harder to keep grounded in just the planet Earth than Thor is. However, perhaps if we were to EXPAND the nature of how the Avengers work, Surfer being far more mobile and able to see/intercept threats at a much quicker rate than any other hero would allow this new Avengers to expand their span of influence to galactic proportions than just the planet Earth. :P

Edit. Tho I DID take out the Surfer on my newer team (X-Man would be a wicked in a new Avengers Team, IMO).

I just think that people like supes, or thor would be a better choice because even though surfer is powerful, on some beings it takes more than versitality to drop them, sometimes it take brute force and surfer just isn't the person that could cover that dept. That's why people like thanos handles him so easily... with all that power that he has, it meant nothing in a battle against him whereas someone like thor, even though thor isn't dropping thanos, he would pose as much of a bigger threat against the purple guy instead of surfer... especisally if thor has a team backing him up.

I would chose thor over all of them. He is just as versatile as surfer and he is just as strong, if not stronger than supes. He is the entire package in one.

At the very least she's low herald, being able to physically take on Kryptonians.

Surfer loses to Thanos cuz Thanos' pimp hand is Thanos' Kryptonite. :P

In seriousness, the Surfer only really has this kind of problems against Thanos. It could be due to Thanos' higher level energy resistance. I don't know. But in terms of brute force, the Surfer has been shown to be just as powerful as Thor is. Especially his current incarnation.

Also, the Surfer has MANY MANY things that Thor can't do. Matter manipulation, cosmic senses, the ability to shrink/enlarge himself, healing, etc. There is just soooo many more instances where Surfer's versatility can be used to solve certain obstacles.

Besides, I selected Thor to stand beside him. Those two would be totally unstoppable.

Mjolnir is supposed to be able to do most of that, but Thor hasnt done it in decades.

I've read Thor all my life. Don't remember him doing matter manip at the level the Surfer has. I've never seen him use any kind of high level senses and I've never seen him heal or shrink/grow before (correct me if I'm wrong pls. ).

His respect thread has decades old scans of him creating anti-matter and transmuting elements. I cant recall if he has done size alteration.

I know he's done limited levels of matter manip/transmutation. What I said was the he's never done it at the level of what the Surfer has done.

yes well, we all know SS>thor, no need to rub it in

Why can't I have Doom?

Is it because he tips the scales against most teams here.

I agree with a number of things that you've said but I think both are as versatile as the other. There are things that thor is capable of doing that surfer has as of yet to show and thor energy output is more powerful than surfers. Mjlonir is just generally more powerful and this was shown when surfer and other herald was unable to protect galactus but beta ray bill was able to save him.

In regards to healing, yes, thor can heal people as well. Surfer has some "decent" showings of h2h combat but nothing impressive... if he was to fight someone like konvikt or someone similar in a fist fight, I could see him getting crushed eventually.

Honestly, I think having surfer and thor on the same team is kind of cheating and pointless if you ask me. Those two really wouldn't need partners. What is it that they wouls need as back-up? They already have everything at their disposal.

I wouldn't put them on the same team, it would basically make the others useless.
