Bored Presents: Fun with the Fifty-State Initiative!

[bored]

Disregarding how Civil War ends up, the idea of a super-hero team in every state is out there. Now, that means that some heroes will get New York, where meta-spandex-evil seems to be centered. Others will get places like California and Illinois (where everything will happen in Chicago, because that's the way it is), but that also means Hawaii will get a team, and so will Nebraska and Idaho (by the way, what about Washington DC, Guam, and Puerto Rico?). Now, there's still no telling if this will actually happen (probably not), and who will be part of it (anyone Bendis and Brubaker don't want to write), but hypothetically, who would you have your state's team be?

To start things off, I give you the Kansas Avengers!

His bizarre sense of humor and love of guns make him a perfect fit for the Midwest, which sorely needs someone with a sense of humor.

Western Kansas is a barren, dull place where little goes on. Perfect for a Bendis pet-character!

He thinks what he does is right, but in truth he's kind of insane. Just like Kansas public officials!

A cheap fascimile of an icon. We'll take 'em all!

Because a man in a bear suit is funny.

I think the 50 state initiative will indeed stay in place when Civil War is all done with. Its not a bad idea. By the way USAgent will be on Omega Flight, so I dont think he will be in any odf the 50 teams, California is getting the Champions, NY gats the Avengers, it looks as if they are taking former teams and revamping them, even if there are no original members on the team.

What other teams will there be?

Avengers*
Champions*
Defenders
Force Works+
Nextwave
Squadren Supreme
Thunderbolts*
Warriors

*teams that are pretty much confirmed.
+mentioned to be one of the 50 teams

 

[Speedball]

Hmm...The Virginia Cavaliers...

Will the Thunderbolts be 1 of the 50 teams or will they be more of special task force, with national jurisdiction.

[Speedball]

Ok...
I've thought some members for the Virginia Cavaliers.
The Monarch: Leader of the team, he's very similar to Cap. America, but a mutant.
Dominion: She has the ability to control people.
Cardinal: She can fly, and uses guns.
Foxhound: Has superior tracking abilities, and is marginally faster than a normal human.
Stonewall: He has the ability to change his skin into any rock he desires.

 

[Zoken]

for serious?! oh, my bad.

Louisiana

Jean Harlequin: leads the team. a human tech-user. the bells on and in his fools caps are explosives, the beads he carries are restraints, razor coins, and an adept acrobat. New Orleans native.

Gambit: The mutant heart breaker, once cured of his horseman-itis, returns home to protect the big easy, and to clear his head.

Sister Tarot: A sorceress gifted with the ability to see short distances into the future. She's a strong black woman of mysterious origin.

Sargass: an alligator that has been alive for over a millenia. able to communicate in english he has joined the team as it might give him some excitement.

Crewe: three girls that combine to form one woman with super-human strength, flight, and energy powers.

 

[supermarvelman]

I meant 52. So they are the Denver team

California - Champions
Colorado - Thunderbolts
New York - Avengers

 

[bored]

A few of you missed the point. Just use whoever you damn well please to make a funny line-up for your state, especially if it's an unlikely one.

 

[supermarvelman]

I'd like Hydro-Man to be on Hawaii's superteam.

 

[supermarvelman]

Connecticut - Warriors

 

[Roughneck]

DC seems to me like it would have an Uber Powerful team that ismainly for show.



Sentry


That's all really, Just Sentry floating above the White House

 

[supermarvelman]

Besides one team in each state there will also be teams that are sanctioned by the government, like the (Secret) New Avengers, Young Avengers, Fantastic Four.

Will Heroes for Hire be one of the teams included in the initiative or are they just gonna be a registered superteam?

 

[Killswitch]

What a great idea! This is really going to take the Marvel universe in some interesting new directions, and give some B and C listers a chance to shine.

Is this Dan Slott's idea?

 

[Zoken]

It is theorized that this is what his new title will be about. I think they're calling it "The Initiative"

 

[supermarvelman]

Marvel is the best, there should be a comic kinda like 52, it doesnt have to be weekly, maybe everyother week, but you know that all 52 teams wont get that much coverage, but atleast some other stated will be getting some superhero love. The book should be like 52 in the sense that it focus's on the various teams and kinda stays away from the a-list, so the b-c list teams have a place to shine and become stars.

If they could do a weekly series of one shots on each of the teams in the fifty state initiative, I'd read it everyday... It'd be more relevant than 52, I believe.

ATLIENS

Atlanta, Georgia's #1 superhero Team!!

Roster:

Hypnotize 'Formerly known as' Hypno Hustler, Hypno has turned over a new leaf (or rather it's play the good guy or have Ironman and the Thunderbolts like Bullseye after his sorry ass!) He now resides in Atlanta and owns a strip club called 'Hypnotique Honeys' and is the senior member of ATLiens! With a little help from the Tinkerer Hypno has upgraded his abilities and wears special 'hypnotising contact lenses and shades' instead of the dated 70s era motif.

RPM 'Formerly known as' Rocket Racer, Racer has gained true superspeed via S.H.I.E.L.Ds scientists. He's now a Engineering major at Georgia Tech and works at a customized cars shop.

Aegis The team leader as selected by Tony Stark, his general lack of experience as a superhero compared to the others is a none issue since he tested highest in the SHRA training camp. There is tension between he and Queen who naturally thinks she should be leader, even though everyone even Hypno (The most unruly) defers to his leadership. Aegis Works at the same Car shop as RPM.

Queen Divine Justice She and NFL (Nappy Fro Lad) aka Vibraxas have eloped to America from Wakanda and live the life of two out of their depth teens trying their hand at a commited relationship, she goes to beauty school and lives off the small fortune bequeathed her as a princess of the Wakandas. Although not team leader she is the strongest and loudest voice on the team. Queen has taken to wearing a female version of Black Panthers costume with all the benefits of Wakandan technology.

Vibraxas It's been a hard year for NFL (Nappy Fro Lad) what with adjusting to American culture and Queens' antics, Vibraxas landed the most ironic job of all! He's a barber!

Debrii Bottom line she doesn't want to be apart of this crap, but it pays well and the club life in Atlanta is off the chain!

effin sweet D.

 

[deemar325]

Good Americans

Location: Rhode Island

Roster:

Patrolman - Ability to track anyone or anything he's come in recent contact with, within a half mile radius. Expert marksman and motorcyclist.

Good Samaritan - Super strength Class:50 tons, most complete at least 50 good deeds a day to maintain his mighty strength.

Lady Fingers - Her delicate hands can open any locked off entryway and her superhuman sense of touch allow her to 'Feel' the weakness of any object render any man or woman puddy with her 'pleasant touch.'

Positive Pete - Can find the 'silver lining' in any situation, the application of this is his uncanny knack of figuring a way out of any sticky situation.

Townie - Gains unmatched fighting ability when in the presence of a supportive crowd of locals. The limits of this power is that if no one is rooting for him to win or fighting against an opponent in a isolated area he's f--ked.
