Marvel/DC: Create-A-Superteam - Timewarp Revival
 

Say you're some multidimensional recruiter, Nick Fury/Amanda Waller or an uber-godly scale, and it's your job to put together a team of superheroes tough enough to face Darkseid - managed to nab the Infinity Gems, and somehow subjugated Unicron from Transformers into a pet. Oh, and he acquired the Foot Clan in a game of poker.


So across the universes of Marvel and DC you shall summon a team of five worthy of this threat. Be sure to highlight the leader. No you cannot choose from the Hasbro universe, despite there being Unicron. His inclusion was to raise the threat level, not to have Snake Eyes riding Bumblebee in a few teams (awesome as that sounds).

Go.

Do we have a set team number? Otherwise I could theoretically create a Legion of Super-Heroes sized team.

Let's go with a 5. Forces hard decisions, I think. Thanks for the detail.

Five people? To take on all that? Let me think on this.

good thread idea

Can we use Phoenix or are we going to argue whether she can be controlled or not?

Well if "She can't control it" I think that kinda bans her outright.

...She eats stars.

Certain character can be debated, but I think we'll all behave on this front.

For me, this is harder than I thought making the thread. Gonna need time.

ATTENTION:

Removed Image Comics universe to streamline the already massive choice list. You guys cool with that?

Added Foot Clan to the looming threat. Add some 'street level' goons other than Parademons.

The Silver Surfer
Superman (Leader)
Wonder Woman
Mister Fantastic
Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)

Who's leader?

Supes.

Ok. Here we go.

1:



2 (Team Leader):



3:



4:



5:



And thus goes my team.

Batman.

You don't need anyone else.

1:



2:



3: (Leader)



4:



5:

Thor (leader) - We're dealing with a New God, who has no consideration for life in the universe. This team will be lead by a god who learned to value life technically inferior to his own. After seeing how Darkseid would abuse his power and one of the treasures of Odin's Vault, Thor would surely have words with thee.


Green Lantern Hal - Intergalactic threats are not new to a Green Lantern, and this team needs a major boost of willpower in the form of Hal Jordan. I'm going with this particular version of Hal for tonal diversity, somebody's gonna need to crack a joke in the few silent moments the team will have. Him and another.


Ghost Rider Blaze - So a bunch of Foot Clan are presumably driving around in Decepticlone vehicles provided by Unicron. Who needs to get on the road and cash in the rap sheets of all of those ninja punks? You're damn right. The Rider can possess vehicles with hellfire to make it his own, what happens if he infects a Decepticlone?


Spider-Man - Back in New York, street punk ninjas arrive via space bridges. Seemingly there to riot and keep forces busy, Peter Parker decides to be responsible with all that great power of his. Perhaps he can enter a space bridge before it closes and infiltrate Unicron's body...


Superman - Thor knows a thing or two about godlike power, but there's somebody who as a personal investment in this battle. For years Superman had to watch as Darkseid tried to ruin the universe. For this event, he'd gladly relinquish the leadership role if it means focusing on getting that gauntlet off of Darkseid and beating his face in. Thor needs another heavy hitter, and someone who knows how Darkseid works. Clark is here to help.


And what happens next, plays out in your heads.

Totally marking out at these teams.

LOL at Superman.

It would be pretty fucking irresponsible not to put Superman on the team, that's the problem. He probably should've been banned.

Not that he's too powerful, but yeah he's a 'go-to' for sure.

I didn't even put Superman on my team for his power. Could have put some other shit powerful dude there. Put him there for what he means, and the inspiration and hope he brings.

Also, because I am a Superman mark.

Also, just thought right now that I could have technically used Hank Pym instead of The Atom. Hank Pym is smarter. He is kind of a douchebag though, even when he isn't beating his wife. You know what? Screw him. I'll stick with The Atom. No douches on my team.

Alright I'll do it for real.

(Leader)
http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/1...am_warlock.jpg
1. Adam Warlock
Intimate knowledge of the infinity gems and how to thwart those who seek to abuse them. Plus he's pretty powerful in his own right.

http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__...lactus_007.jpg
2. Galactus
Another reason why Warlock is leader. Adam has convinced Galactus to fight alongside him against the threat of the gauntlet before. I see no reason why he can't do it again. That's Unicron taken care of, right there.

http://images.wikia.com/marveldataba...rth-616%29.jpg
3. Mister Fantastic
Probably the smartest hero in the marvel universe. Together, with Adam, they can figure out a way to get the Gauntlet off of Darkseid. Way I see it, powerhouses are useless until you get the gauntlet away from Darkseid.

http://www.corvusonline.net/thanos/ThanosThrone.JPG
4. Thanos
Thanos is the total package for the battle against Darkseid. Like warlock, he has a wealth of experience with the gauntlet. He's as intelligent, if not more so than Richards. He has the power to possibly beat Darkseid one on one in combat after the gauntlet is taken care of. And he'll at least have help from Adam and richards, so it's a lock.

http://www.digitalbusstop.com/wp-con...irrel-Girl.jpg
5. Squirrel Girl
She's beaten Thanos and Doctor Doom. Bunch of teenage ninja wannabes should be pretty simple.


Now you might say this team is bunk because those characters would never team up, but when it comes to the infinite gauntlet, they would, and they actually have. That's why I kept it marvel. The Gauntlet might be the most powerful thing in all of comics, Marvel or DC. You'll get some strange bedfellows, with that kind of threat.

You gonna trust Thanos in a battle where the gauntlet might be free to obtain for a moment?

Read The Infinity Gauntlet.

He doesn't want it.

He has on several occasions since then, aided the heroes from keeping it from others.

I've read EVERYTHING concerning the soul gems and the gauntlet. My team was picked as soon as you involved the thing.

Still wouldn't trust him. In fact your team's a bigger threat than Darkseid/Unicron/Foot Clan. Some fragile psyche's there.

You're insane, friend.

Desperate times...

Thanos does, have a sort of code of honor. Plus, over the years, he and Adam Warlock have developed something that actually resembles a friendship.

Besides there is nothing to gain from any sort of betrayal. Neither Adam or Thanos wants the gauntlet anymore. The Magus was taken care of already, so no need to worry about that. Galactus wouldn't care about anything else but getting the gauntlet off of darkseid and eating unicron.

These guys, while a huge threat in any other situation, have no reason to do anything but destroy darkseid here.

Except for squirrel girl. Total loose cannon that one.

When it comes to marvel's cosmic shenannigans, I know my shit. The universe will just have to trust me.

Can I trust good ol' Doom? I'd totally draft him. At least he wouldn't destroy the universe.

Depends.

Dr. Doom WOULD betray your team for the gauntlet.

Thanos may be evil, but as I said, he has a code. More importantly, he's had enough experience with all powerful objects to know that coveting them often leads to ruin.

Doom, not so much. He's still a bastard.

Which reminds me, I need to read the conclusion of Children's Crusade. think it's out now.

BTW This happens in FF #16

http://i.imgur.com/0FLEd.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/OmAoe.jpg

Yeah, totally trustworthy.

Oh yeah Narc, I totally forgot to recommend Future Foundation to you. Right up there with X-Force as one of my favorite books right now.

Even if you don't like FF, check it out. I never cared for them at all, tbh, but this is really good stuff.

Still better than Darkseid :) Besides he's on the Future Foundation, But I know his ego is too big to fully trust despite some honor. Truth be told I'd just like to read his read character be involved.

alright I am not as good of a nerd as some of you people but this is my team, gonna try and keep Superman out of it

Captain America - Leader
Batman
Hulk
Thor
Black Panther

really had to fight myself to not include any X-Men

Outside of Magneto or Phoenix, x-men would be pretty useless.

Even Magneto doesn't really have the power to much damage to unicron. Would need some way to amplify his power, tremendously.

So good choice. Hope this geekxplanation has been helpful.

He has a Hulk.

I debated putting Bishop on the team, because he is awesome but then I didn't

Yeah, I figured he'd probably need some sort of help or amplification. But I figured if Kitty could get him into the core of it somehow, he could really fuck some shit up.

Does Unicron even have a vulnerable "core"? I'm no transformers buff. Kalyx would know.

Evil Bishop is even more awesome.

I was trying to think outside the box a bit but I decided to decline some of my other picks. I wanted to include Norman Osborn but I didn't know if it would be cheating since he would quite obviously use all of H.A.M.M.E.R. Also, he is a fucking lunatic so trust could be a problem. Fun game though.

Figgy, I was debating whether to start on FF cause I'm already reading so many series but I think I'll probably do it now. I almost did it the other day but then got distracted.

He has a Transformation Cog and a central nervous system like every other Transformer, but it's not as easy as pulling a plug.

- He's about as large as the Earth itself, giving him a surface area requiring a map to traverse.
- That makes running around inside him more difficult, as you would need to know where you're going.
- Also, Unicron has powerful anti-body measures that include scissored tentacles that chase you down.
- A molten iron digestive system for those unfortunate enough to be caught.
- A cooling system that's more or less oceans of water that can flood you at will.
- Decepticlone minions created and sent after your ass at will, inside or on his surface.

- Push come to shove, which is likely with these teams, he can of course transform into a humanoid form that gives him added mobility to tear shit up or face somebody that can somehow go toe to toe with him (very few characters in fiction can). Unicron's a big deal.

And the Foot Clan are probably running around in there eating pizza and shit.

Well fuck. Yeah. I'm going to need some sort of amplification for Magneto if that's going to work. Should have Stark try to figure that out. I would've been better off trying to temporarily control Phoenix with nanites or some shit.

Then deal with a pissed off Phoenix (who will likely be an unstable child soon) after that? Nah.

Team splits: Three deal with Unicron's insides, two deal with Darkseid and the gauntlet.

I'm having another go at this- without Clark Kent.

The Beyonder
Mister Fantastic
Black Panther
Nightwing
The Sentry

Can you say... BLITZ?

http://i39.tinypic.com/34s17qx.jpg

I can't believe no one has picked cap as leader!

*ahem*

I also debated Mr. Fantastic being on my team, but I fucking hate him

Hot Thread for real. Fun idea.

Now I am nowhere near as versed on these subjects as you guys, so take it easy on me if my plans come out retarded.

Team Leader: Just to make this more interesting, this team is put together by my Favorite character - Cable. Cable Comes back from a future destroyed by Darkseid. He brings with him knowledge of the fight and enemy that he uses to recruit a team and prepare them for the coming war.

Muscle: OH ITS THE JUGGERNAUT BITCH. Another of my favorites. The Irresistible Force provides physical power for this team. The idea of Jugs whipping through the foot clan, and then getting loose within Unicron and laying waste to his innards appeals to me. Jugs tearing through wall after wall, disabling the Cron from the inside whilst his team works their magic seems like a good plan to me.

Stealth: Keeping in the trend of my favorites...Gambit. The Former Thief provides and ability to sneak, steal, coerce and Con any forces of Darkseid. he will also provide witty commentary and decent firepower.

Major Firepower: Franklin Richards. Much like Goku and Gohan, we will find our salvation in the power of a child. Franklin Richards is by far the most powerful mutant and is on par with the Celestial beings. His ability to Warp Reality and Even Molecules will allow the destruction of Unicron, and combat with Darkseid. Though his powers will need to be unlocked through tragedy. Yes, we need him to go Super Saiyan 2. Worst case scenario, with a loss he can still create us a new reality to live in.

Wild Card: Once again the all powerful Galactus comes forth to protect the Galaxy from the Infinity Gauntlet. Even he knows the dangers of allowing a being to have the powers that Darkseid now possesses. This war cannot be won without him, but the fear is at what cost? After Darkseid is defeated, are we just leaving ourselves open to defeat by our former team-mate.

Earth would be weak after Unicron and Darkseid are done with it, Galactus may take the pie.

Hmmm. Fun game, I'll play.

#2

#3

#4

#5

I think modern day Galactus would leave earth alone. The amount of times that earth's superheroes have aided the universe wouldn't be lost on Galactus. He'd have to realize it's too important to consume.


You want to talk unstable? Check dronepool's new picks.

The Sentry AND The Beyonder? Good luck with that.

1) Batman (Leader) - Brilliant tactical mind, incredible wealth and an arsenal of gadgets and devices that could aid in the fight.

2) Juggernaut - You need brute force when dealing with brute force and also to defend the team, in particular the next pick

3) Leech - Since Juggernaut is not a mutant, Leech doesn't affect him. He protects him and gets him close enough to Darkseid to drain his powers.

4) Iron Man - His ability to fly and deal heavy damage from above and as with Batman, his wealth and arsenal.

5) The Flash - Incredible speed to be used for distraction and blindsides.

Darkseid isn't a mutant either.

I learned two things today, what Fignuts just said and that its Dark Side not Dark Seed

Interestingly enough, lack of The Wolverine.

How would he be used?

He could fight the foot clan, but that's about it.

I suppose if latched on to he could deal some damage to Onicron

Throw him at Darkseid, who would be so amused by the ability to continually mutilate and cut pieces off of him, that he'll be too distracted to notice what the rest of the team is up to.

Spawn at his prime wiped out an entire word and recreated it without god or the devil and trapped those two in their own dimension.

http://i.annihil.us/u/prod/marvel//u...etWitch442.jpg

her powers evolved giving her the mutant ability to alter reality on a vast scale by way of magicIn the House of M storyline, Wanda showed that she could fly, transform people and matter, fire powerful beams of magic, and disable other mutants abilities. She could also bring the dead back to life.

Its fuckin superman (leader)


http://images.wikia.com/marveldataba...3_Textless.jpg

Colossus with all of his normal powers with the power of the juggernaut on top of that... nuf said


http://images2.fanpop.com/images/qui...65_470_273.jpg

GIANT BLUE DICK FOR THE WIN!

Spawn wouldn't even need his powers. He could just bore Darkseid to death with endless text.

haterrrr

Not a bad book. Quite good at times, actually.

I've just never read another book that had as much needless exposition.

So wait, how is Colossus and Juggernaught combined? Anyone fill me in?

During Fear Itself, The original Juggernaut, who was one of the Serpents Worthy, was heading towards Utopia and nothing could stop him. The plan was for Colossus' sister to travel to the Crimson Cosmos to tell Cyttorak that his host was a servant to another god. Colossus would not let his sister go alone. When Cyttorak heard the news, he was pissed and offered the power to the sister, but colossus, looking out for her, moved her out of the way and took the power for himself and was transported to earth where he then started to beat the living shit out of the original juggernaut until the serpent transported him away

Spawn and Dr Manhattan?

Okay, let's give this a shot:

I wish I knew more about DC.

I had to Wikipedia Darkseid....

Not my cup o tea.

Superman
Batman
Reed Richards
Iron Man

And the only one I'll give an explanation for as those 4 are fairly obvious.

I guess you went with...

Multiple choice.

Anybody who puts Iron Man and Batman on one team are asking for all sorts of hilarity.

Superman, Batman, Xavier, Spiderman, Wolverine

As far as explanations, Superman's godlike abilities, Batman's problem solving mind and tenacious abilities, Xavier's resource management skills and godlike mind powers, Spiderman's mind, strength and webbing (all good when we want the bad guy captured) and Wolverine's rage-fueled path of destruction (before Magneto sucked him dry).

Xavier's Coach
Superman's Team Captain
Batman and Wolverine work as infiltrators
Spiderman's the group science geek

Plus they all kick ass.

apocalypse put the adamantium back in him a long time ago

Superman plus Thor's hammer is probably the answer to all of this, really.

Neat idea for a thread actually.

Yeah, that post took me about an hour, but it was fun.

This thread should have been done without Superman though, as someone else suggested.

If I added that Unicron's Energon was somehow emitting the same radiation as Kryptonite 90% of the teams would need a new member.

Until Green Lanter made a giant liquid lead shield...I'm sure someone had GL on their team.

I don't think a GL can create constructs of known materials.

Well, it's not like Superman doesn't know how to fight Kryptonite-wielding villains too. I mean, one of his biggest recurring enemies is Metallo, who's usually all about shooting Kryptonite laser beams and stuff. It'd definitely make the fight an awful lot harder, but Kal wouldn't immediately be boned just because the bad guys have a chunk of K with them.

EDIT: And on top of that, Kryptonite really isn't all it's cracked up to be. Supes has muscled through K-poisoning countless times. He's been shot with K-bullets, stabbed with K-blades, blasted with K-lasers--hell, at one point he was strapped to a Kryptonite chair and had a nuke dropped on his head--and still came back for more. And that's after being de-powered Post-Crisis. You're much better off using magic or screwing with his powers via red-sun radiation than relying on Kryptonite to take him out.

Vampires. I fucking hate vampires.

1) Juggernaut
2) Colossus
3) The Hulk
4) The Thing
5) Thor

Just to watch the savage beatings that would ensue.

They would destroy shit worse than the bad guys.

These teams are great....for posing with American flags and after school specials. We need a motherfucking wetwork crew. Here ya go


Leader: Mr. Sinister his telekinetic abilities will help with coordination and he knows how to manipulate the masses.

Muscle: apocalypse. Darkseid is fucked

The foot clan stands no chance with Hush snapping necks and cashing checks

Omicron is gonna go down. Who's gonna do it? Well Black Adam is gonna fuck all of those oceans and lava pits and tentacles up whil apocalypse delivers the planet killing weapon that my nigga Forge invented.

TOAA

[/thread]

If you don't want Superman in the mix, simple!!!

Darkseid knows Clark. He has all the power in the universe. He can "turn" all the yellow stars into red stars and bam, Superman is better off staying in his fortress of solitude for this one.

OH NO! Darkseid, as his first act with the Infinity Gauntlet, warped reality to get rid of ALL HEROES! What do we do?

Black Adam

Strong powerful motherfucker.

Molecule Man
http://i43.tinypic.com/vo8l93.jpg

As the Molecule Man, he has the psionic ability to manipulate all forms of matter on a subatomic level, and to manipulate all known forms of energy and to convert matter into energy or energy into matter, e.g.: the creation of powerful force fields and energy beams. He is able to manipulate some of the most powerful and most durable materials within the Marvel Universe including destroying and reforming Captain America's shield, Thor's enchanted hammer Mjolnir, and the Silver Surfer's surfboard.[17] During this time, Reece also destroyed Iron Man's armor but is unable to reform it at this time due to difficulty with understanding the complicated circuitry and technology. However, over time, Reece's skills have increased considerably, as shown during the Secret Wars mini-series. He can now manipulate complex pieces of technology with ease and can also open hyperspace portals, allowing him to travel at speeds much faster than light. As a result of the accident in which he gained his powers, the Molecule Man has a series of jagged scars radiating from the bridge of his nose in a lightning-like pattern. He can use his powers to conceal the scars at will.


That's why.

These wet work teacups are awesome, almost could've been a spinoff thread. This shit is fun

Perhaps a Suicide Squad/Thunderbolts deal, only it deals with a heist or assassination.

I just fear this Marvel/DC: Create-A-_____ thing may choke this forum with a third one so soon.

Hmm...all supervillains, huh?
