You are going to start you own team of low herald level heroes or villains. Out of all the powersets available throughout comics, which one would be the most valuable to have on a team?

Genius intelligence

Punching stuff really hard

presumably a super genius in a comic has some wealth and can at least hook the team up with some suits that can turn the most mundane hero type into whatever they desire. the possibilities are kinda endless. not too many poor "smart guys" in comics, it kinda goes hand in hand (hank mccoy and forge aren't really wealthy but they don't really need to be since they always had access to other rich guy's bottomless bank accounts (xavier estate and the us government (in forge's case)))

tony stark for example can build suits for any situation, and like with the king thor incident, he just needs to get his hands on a power source strong enough to fight a sky-father class character, and obviously anything under that.

lex built suits that can at least make him not die against superman, reed built a suit that can "fight galactus", etc

Leadership

Few characters in comics have all the things one needs to be a powerful character.

Superman has the power and the speed to be the tank of the team.

-He has the intellect to be a genius, or mastermind if he chooses.

-Then he has the weapons to be an arms dealer on a universal scale. He has the Miracle Machine stored in his brain, including all of those offworld weapons he collects, he's robots are another problem, and the Phantom Zone.

Intellect wise, he posses Brainiac and access to the 31st century.

You need Reed Richards:
Good field leader

Ok in a fight

Without equal in comics when we are talking about pure intelligence. The ****er probably has the most dangerously packed closet ever

Pym is pretty close or his better in all those area's

Yep definitely intelligence.
Tony has takin on King Thor, and actually didn't do to bad.
Managed to break the phoenix force up, which is damn impressive.
Is consistently holding his own against Mid-High Herald Characters.

And he is just a guy in a suit of armor.

That's why tony has and always will be one of my favorites.

Super intelligence, or telepathy.

Both are more or less the same thing, in terms of formulating battle strategies.

Reed destroying the side of a mountain with his smarts a thing that Tony Stark and Spider-Man couldn't work up the smarts to do. He also stopped Supernova from destroying the planet with his smarts.

Most valuable, not most overrated.

Super intelligence.

Lol @Digi,

The mighty Avengers could have been badass if they had a good leader...

Which Mighty Avengers?

Tony, Carol, Ares, Bob, Simon, and Natasha...
Carol as leader

Ah, okay. You surprisingly, given your screen name, left out Janet.

I liked that team, though.

Yeah, can't believe I forgot her,...I have Jan Ultron in my Sig

I liked the team, but carols bad leadership nearly got both her team and later the planet destroyed.

Common sense.

Retcon punches beat common sense

Not really a super power in a traditional sense but a supremely potent A.I. A Xandarian Worldmind equivalent or some such housed within your cerebellum or something. Capable of independent action, but programmed with reasonable safeguards.

You'd accomplish a hell of a lot more this way then simple super intelligence would allow.

Pym is a better fighter.
But Richards is leagues above the blond douchebag when it comes to solve shit with his mind.

I noticed a lot of people are choosing intelligence, for obvious reasons. I think an extremely valuable, yet often underrated power set would be Boston Brand's possession ability.

Is that why Richards, Stark , and Parker come to Pym when they need help...
