If you got to "assemble" your own superhero team for a comic book and could pick up to 6 characters from ANY mix of publishers, eras, continuities, etc., who would get the call?
No real rules to this one (other than the maximum of 6)...even if there are characters that aren't "super" per se that works as well. Villains are acceptable too if you want to go that route.
BONUS: Come up with a creative name for your team!

Here's an idea I had for a team using Marvel characters (admittedly somewhat akin to Priest's "The Crew") that would revive two of the only Silver/Bronze Age characters that, to the best of my knowledge, have never been revisited, even in this era when it seems like everybody is given another shot in the comics pages:
It's a somewhat casual assemblage of Black men who refer to themselves as The Brotherhood.
In addition to commercial mainstays Luke "Power Man" Cage and Sam "Falcon" Wilson, I'd have:
Joshua, exiled African political figure and dashing crusader for justice, and
Calvin Kidd, better known as hip-hop superstar "Li'l Kidd".
Why would they hang out together? What would they do as a team? OK, I haven't thought any of that out, I just wanna bring back those last two characters from obscurity!

I pick Jaxxon (the green space-rabbit in my avatar)...and The Beatles (who are part of the Marvel universe: see Strange Tales #130).
They'll be know as The Jaxxon 5.

The Odd-Ones (collectively, they are an odd bunch):
Mighty Mouse Underdog Spider-Ham Badrock Gambit
...and Wolverine (because he's on every team). |

These are all awesome!!
I've got a bit of an "odd" group going as well at this point, but I need to refine a little more.
For some reason, I really want Cerebus, Badger, and Reid Fleming on a team. I have no idea where I'm going with this.

Okay, from Marvel…
Zeus (Team leader)
Hercules
Power Man
Namor
The Thing
Colossus
My unimaginative name for my team: The New Champions
Thought of the day: my team would last one issue because I’m not sure anyone other than Juggernaut or the Destroyer could challenge such a powerful team.

It might be the infighting that gets them first...Namor keeps giving Zeus some lip, Zeus is like "seriously bro?", Hercules is like "dad, c'mon, these are my friends...", Colossus is fretting because everyone is fighting, and Luke and Ben are down the street at a bar getting a beer to get away from it all. Seriously though, I like this "stacked" powerhouse team concept...maybe a similar villains team could make it interesting, like the 2 you mentioned, Abomination, etc. |

Thanks!
Yes, I think one flaw in my team is the amount of egos involved.
As for a villainous equivalent…
Abomination
Juggernaut
Rhino
Destroyer
Annihilus
Hyperion
And good luck to that team, I don’t see them getting along at all (and who’d rein in Destroyer?).
