Thanks for the critique. All I have trouble with is that the team seems rather underpowered, although it's not really that. As it stands though, I think this team has quite a bit of a story potential. And of course, in Exiles fashion, it wouldn't last the entire series.
It was a long weird story Corp he was the son of a Black namore and the invisible woman and they called him Gambit he had the powers of both which is really sick if you think about it.
I gues my Line up would be:
Blink
616 Mimic

He'll need a new costume pronto. Blink should try to give him one of her mimics and he should be like I don't want too look that lame
Ben Reilly AKA Scarlet Spider

Darkhawk

90;s goodness at it's best
Puma
underused character i'd like to see
more to come.
Then I don't really see the point of them being Exiles. I know Claremont and Bedard started the mess by adding in 616 characters, but I always think the team should do without.
You want an Exiles team? Something completely different? I'll give you an all-new all-different Exiles.
Der Brenndende Mann / The Burning Man (James Hammond)
Originally a superhero on the Allied side, the android once known as the Human Torch was reprogrammed after Nazi Germany and Russia won the Second World War. Now, as the Burning Man, Jim Hammond is a state controlled weapon of order. A fascist hero so to speak and by the time he is thrown onto the Exiles team, one of forty years experience. There's instant conflict in a bottle.
Deathlok the Demolisher
Deathlok is an enigma. Amnesiac, all that Deathlok knows is that he was once made into a killmachine cyborg by the government and that he was damn good at doing whatever it was his government commanded him too. Too bad then that, just as he is made an Exile, his cybernetics have been destroyed and Deathlok must fall back on his own skills. Skills he's not sure he possesses. Oh yeah, and he's free. He and Hammond should have some interesting conversations.
Red Sonja
Maybe the most lethal character of the Exiles. She doesn't really need a change from your normal Red Sonja character. Tough as nails she is and the one most likely to buck against the authority of her male teammates. Her ignorance of the modern day world is both an advantage and a disadvantage and a source of comic relief. Of course, when the Exiles naturally end up in a simile of her world, well, everybody better watch out.
The Black Knight (Sir Percy of Scandia)
Okay, so we have a Nazi, a mercenary and a barbarian, so how about a chivalrous knight to balance the scales? Hopelessly outdated as he is, the Knight is not well-loved by his fellow Exiles, but he does offer a certain moral balance. Of course, we're still working by medieval values, so he's still in a grey area of heroics. He's from the time just before Camelot fell.
Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers)
Okay, so we've had a whole bunch of obscure characters. It's time for a well-known heroine that can lead the team unto the right path. Yes, I know she's not necessarily popular - Corp certainly doesn't like her - but damn it, I think she'd be great on a team like this if she were properly characterised (as everyone has pretty much failed to do since Busiek). Imagine it: a competent heroine and leader. One problem when the team gets thrown into the Kree/Skrull war though: she's pro-Kree.
I'd actually like to see a Black Knight who's totally succumbed to the Ebony Blade's blood curse on a Weapon X team. A bloodthirsty killer who literally lives for combat and has powers far beyond our own Dane because of how much the Blade has tainted his soul with its black magic. He could be from a reality where he kills Merlin and conquers Avalon, turning it into a hellish abattoir of horrors. Rather than chivalric Camelot imagery, his look would be inspired by twisted, pointy gothic stylings and he would be Weapon X's wild card.
... sitting in a tree, K-I--You and your Black Knight...
He was the son of Namor and Susan Storm.
The thing is...it didn't make any sense, even by Marvel standards. Claremont sort of ignored the whole point behind alternate realities with that character..and a few others.
The multi-verse stems from shifts in our reality, in the different choices, decisions, and occurances. What could have happened in the 616 universe that would have shifted Gambit from Cajun thief who was created by Sinister to being Aquagambit, son of Namor and Sue with none of his said powers?
It broke the rules of the multiverse.
