Create a Supervillain team!

[TheCorpulent1]

Actually, I tried to pick guys who would all be motivated by greed. No big grudge matches to get in the way. Treat it as a business and recruit the "skills" you need. Tombstone is a stretch in that regard, but I like him. Quicksilver too, but I needed a speedster and couldn't think of an available villain. Suggestions?

Speed Demon. He's all about the loot.

 

[yahman]

What about this ....

Graviton
Taskmaster
Ambomination
The Purpleman
Quicksilver
Sandman
Kang the Conqueror

I actually think iloveclones' idea could work as a permanent team in the vein of the recent MODOK's 11. Nice, big names like Taskmaster, Electro, etc. and some goofballs like Grizzly thrown in for good measure. That'd make for good chemistry. It'd be cool if they became basically the go-to guys for funding in the super-villain underworld, based on a reputation that they could pull any job without getting caught.

Speed Demon. He's all about the loot.

He was my first thought, but I wasn't sure of his status. (Not that that stopped my with the rest of the team.) OK, Quicksilver:

you're fired!

Speed Demon's on!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't know what the circumstances of Speed Demon's leaving the Thunderbolts was, either. He was never all that committed to turning hero, though. He had his little side-schemes in the works while claiming to have turned over a new leaf to Songbird and Mach-V.

I keep hearing people talk about that series. I was tempted, but have never liked MODOK. Worth picking up if I can find it?

Clearly, you like heist-type stuff, since you made a whole team devoted to it. If you also like some humor and seeing underdog B-listers triumph (mostly) in the face of overwhelming odds, you'd probably like it. It's got Puma being better than I've seen him in many years and Rocket Racer, too.

 

[iloveclones]

You had me at B-lister.......

 

[KangConquers]

What about this ....

Graviton
Taskmaster
Ambomination
The Purpleman
Quicksilver
Sandman
Kang the Conqueror

If you subbed the Master of The World or Pluto for Kang, they'd be a great team to fight the Mighty Avengers.

I like the idea of a potentially deadly, but still not to be takes seriously villain team. These guys are all experienced criminals, but they might actually be better off going solo.

Death's Head and the Deathtones - Government Jobs

Death's Head - A new one, but with an old costume. Thinks he's the Taskmaster, but he's really more like Sabertooth. Somewhat dimwitted, he has his moments.

Zaran, the Weapons Master - If it absolutely positively has to die overnight, Zaran's your guy. Killing comes a little too easily to him, and he's not exactly the most even tempered guy around. Out of a job after he accidentally gutted Batroc with a shrimp fork. Simply cannot find a shirt in his size.

Whirlwind - Faster than Quicksilver, but can't beat Ant-Man. Recent bouts of depression have left him with a bum rap among the cape and cowl set, and he needs a steady job doing the only thing he knows. Tends to be a burden unless properly motivated.

Hobgoblin - It's Bart Hamilton! No, it's Ned Leeds! No, it's Flash Thompson! You know what, come back in 15 years and I'll tell you who it is. In any case, he' a dangerous sociopath and a bad team player.

Boomerang - Cowardly, underhanded, and more than a little ridiculous, Boomerang is nevertheless an extremely dangerous individual. Starcream with boomerangs. Including the voice.

Lady Octopus - Unpopular among the villain set, she's got an identity crisis and a bone to pick. Probably the strongest of the bunch, and that's freaking pathetic.

Corp, I gave that a read this weekend. Good call. Hilarious backstabbing all around, and some nice backstory for MODOK. And Spot, better than ever!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Glad you liked it. It was one of the more fun, zany comics I've read in a long time. I especially liked Rocket Racer's betrayal of the team to his "mother."

 

[StreetWarrior]

The "New" Thunderbolts:
- a revamped Baron Zemo
- a crippled Fixer as Iron Monger
- Moonstone
- Absorbing Man
- Bullseye
- Lady Deathstrike
- Swordsman with the Carnage Symbiote

I know this doesn't make continuity sense now, but this could be a possible team if the government-ran Thunderbolts are disbanded. They've always been kind of a joke, but I think this Thunderbolts team may give the Avengers a run for their money.

Mac Gargain after loosing the venom suit goes back to the scorpion persona and sets out to make the coustumes a threat again. In a world of Carnage and venoms, where nightmares have come to life, the coustumes are really all just jokes rather then threats. Scorpion orgainzes as many as he can to try and prove that they are not to be messed with. There first task, to take out the villians who us them as pawns like Kingpin and Norman Osborn.

Leader: Scorpion

Inner circle-

Electro- The years have left him nearly souless, he has become one of the most dangerious of the group, but needs the group to keep him focused.

Sandman- Brought into the group after foiling a crime that he was then accused of commiting, Sandman's heart is no complelty in it, but feels he cannot change his spots. However he comes into conflict with electro and others when goals turn bloody.

Vulture- As a old man looking for his last push for power, he comes into conflict with scorpion on how to run the group.

Chemelon: Able to do the grunt work for the group by spying and loting money to fund it.

"New" Beetle: A mystery on who he is, This new beetle provides update for old coustumes and tech support

MOre to come. the goal is to make the old villians a threat again, and by orgainizing them into a kind of villian army, they can be unstopable.

A cool idea might be to turn the Wizard into someone like Calculator over in the DC universe. A supergenius with computers who can hack into anything and offers his services to other villains for a price. Reconfigure the rest of the Fearsome Four (I'm thinking of the Trapster, Hydro-Man, and Titania here) into more of a Birds of Prey-type team who run ops for the Wizard and they could be more threatening than they ever were before.

 

[sandwraith]

I dunno, I think I liked that team of villains who were drinking buddies back in Tangled Web, I only remember Kraven Jr. and the Vulture, Kraven kept rubbing the fact that he had long lush hair and women while the Vulture had...well...none. What was the name of that bar again???

 

[Zoken]

I don't really know, but I'm going to bet it was "The Bar With No Name"

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Isn't that the one the Punisher blew up?

 

[JackRembrandt]

I thought so.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

No one's probably congregating there anymore, then. Explosions make the liquor go sour.

 

[sandwraith]

Or taste better depending on what's your poison. Damn shame though, there would have been lots of great villain stories that could have been circled around that bar, like "Cheers" with villains.

 

[Zoken]

You think there was only one? You think Villains would stop drinking? I'm betting the old Bartender wouldn't.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

They should relocate to an otherdimensional bar like Oblivion.

I assumed the old bartender was incinerated and died screaming.

 

[Fluid]

Dr.Doom

Mandarin

Green Goblin

Brainiac

Joker

abomination.



The team is called

Tribulation League

That is my super villain team

 

[sandwraith]

Umm...okay. But the Joker and Braniac aren't Marvel characters.
