Ridiculous Superhero Nerd Fun

I just thought up a new game. The rules are easy.

1. Select your favorite seven (7) currently-running superhero solo titles.

2. Name them.

3. Now imagine them together as a super-team.

It's a fun game, you should try it. Post your super-teams here! It's like being Bendis and Marvel owns everything!

  1. Me first! I go first! I thought up the game so I go first!

    OK, so I am playing my own game now and here are the results.

    1. Adam Strange
    2. Plastic Man
    3. Invincible
    4. The Goon
    5. The Question
    6. Captain America
    7. Spider-man

    HOWEVER . . .if "The Goon" doesn't count, and he may very well not (can I get a ruling?) then the rest of the guys after him move up one notch and he is replaced with . . .errrr . . .this is hard . . .but I'll go with the more superheroic of the two choices, Jack Staff. (The Punisher was the other).

    Yay! That was fun! What a crazy team that would be!

  2. Boy, this is insanely hard.

    Marshal Law
    Hellboy
    Batgirl
    John Constantine
    Enigma
    Seska Fuzen (Masamune Shirow's Orion)
    Harley Quinn (Lieberman's murderous, knife-throwing, people-shooting, child-blinding version, y'know, the one with a healing factor)

    ...I give up. Those seven are the best I can come up with. Half of them aren't really superheroes, one is a villain and Enigma is so omnipotent that he renders all the others redundant.

    I HAVE FAILED YOU.

    *looks at handiwork*

    That _would_ be a really freaky bunch, though.

  3. You HAVE FAILED! But for another reason.

    Most of those guys don't have a current series.

    Dammit! I just realized I didn't put that in the rule! Crap! Let me see if I can edit.

    My team would be way different, then. Perhaps that should be like the Canadian rules.

  4. There we go. All fixed. LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED.

  5. 1.Adam Strange
    2.Invincible
    3.Plastic Man
    4.Captain America
    5.Ultra
    6.She-Hulk
    7.Savage Dragon

    I think that would actually be a pretty fun team, and I even have a decent male/female ratio.

  6. You know what? Good point. Ultra beats out Jack Staff these days.

  7. 1. She-Hulk
    2. Adam Strange
    3. Catwoman
    4. Flash
    5. Spiderman
    6. Majestic

    Woo! That was fun!
    Bring it.

    So, current list:

    Adam Strange
    Plastic Man
    Invincible
    Ultra
    The Question
    Captain America
    Spider-man

  9. Yeah, I wish I could edit these comments as well.

    I mean, Wolverine, Lena?

    Hehe

  10. After I published my comment, I wished I could've replaced Wolverine with Nightwing.

    Booooooooooooooooooo.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Too late. Now you hate Nightwing.

    I'm telling him in study hall.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I dunno, if you want Nightwing, you better be prepared to fight Devin Grayson for him.

    She luuuuuuuvs him.

    ReplyDelete
  13. You're right. I really wanted to put down Scooby doo.

  14. I don't know if I *have* seven favorite currently running superhero books; I read a lot of team stuff these days. But I'll try:

    1. Amazing Spider-Man
    2. Green Arrow
    3. Incredible Hulk

    ...yeah, that's it. Damn, I suck at this game.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Mike, have you tried Invincible? Cause I'd put money on you liking it.

    It's like Superman + Spider-man except, you know, good.

    ReplyDelete
  16. From everything I've heard, I'd love it like a woman, but I haven't had the time or cash lately to get into a new series of trades.

    ReplyDelete
  17. 1) Adam Strange
    2) She-Hulk
    3) The Question
    4) Plastic Man
    5) Hulk
    Um. How far do superheroes go? 'cause if I had my druthers, the last two are
    6) Mayor Hundred/The Great Machine (Ex Machina), and
    7) Holden Carver (Sleeper)
    who are superpowered protagonists... otherwise it's MK Spider-Man and Azz/Lee Superman in that order, both of which I'm starting to find more and more marginal. And yet I still like The Incredible Hulk...

    Anyways, the team as numbered would probably fall apart in twelve seconds. But the second you stick Superman in it can hold together. But yeah, that's my list.

  18. Okay, other people have used Fallen aAngel, so I will too. And if minis are allowed, add Madrox to mine. The final two spots I will fill with Voltron. Yes, I know it's five guys in lions, but Voltron himself still counts as one hero.

    So my new list:

    Spider-Man
    Green Arrow
    Hulk
    The Fallen Angel
    Multiple Man
    Voltron

    Hot damn, that's a cool team. They'd kick anybody's ass.

  19. Weirdest thing.....I jsut realized I don't read any solo super-hero series. I buy Nightcrawler, but it's for my roommate. So I came up with this list of books I read that could theoretically be about solo chracters (even thyough two aren't super-pweored)

    Nightcrawler
    Luba
    Bitchy Bitch
    Desert Peach (although I haven't seen one in quite a while)
    Bishop
    Promethea
    Tim Hunter

    I would imagine that this team would be pretty much unbeatable. Luba's tits alone could take out the entire Flash Rogue's Gallery.

  20. Captain America
    Batman
    Hulk (Banner version)
    Jenny Sparks
    Silver Surfer
    Spider-man
    Tommy Monoghan

    I'd bring back the name Power Company or Champions for this team.

    I imagine that Tommy & Jenny would be drinking constantly. Bats & Cap will have to try real hard not to kill them. Throw in some guest appearances by the JSA, Wolverine & Havok/Polaris then this book would sell huge.

  21. 1. Savage Dragon
    2. Invincible
    3. Max Hundred (Ex Machina)
    4. Jack Staff
    5. The Goon
    6. Hellboy
    7. Shaloin Cowboy

    That's a pretty awesome team if you ask me.

  22. Jesus Christ, you said "current"
    This is why I'm the king of edits.
    Well now, let's put up another list.

    Captain America
    Spider-man
    Adam Strange
    Holden Carver
    Cosmic Guard
    She-Hulk
    Frank Castle

    Now that's a completely different team.
    I'd go with using Power Company over Champions for this one.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Does "current" mean published this month, or y'know, in the past year?
    Anyway,
    1. Seaguy
    2. Magnus Robot Fighter
    (the reprints make him eligible, damnit!)
    3. Black Widow
    4. Green Lantern (Hal,pre-suck)
    5. Supergirl
    6. Smax
    7. Flaming Carrot
