Easy obvious vote for True Heroic Pride and I just think it's a prototypical Justice/Avenger/Titan type squad with unique personalities and powers that would make for an amazing read or watch. If you need details, I can come up with that.

As to the other two, for as much power as The Xcelerators have that's how little interest I have in them. There are some slightly intriguing versions of Flash & Ghost Rider but not enough for me to think it's better than the Kickass team. I also should probably specify which Flash & Ghost Rider it is.

As to the Kickass team, I like them all individually but would be very interested in knowing how the team comes together, their dynamic, and what they are working towards. I worry they might be a little too emo and am not sure if Natasha helps or adds to that.

Speed wins a fight, but it's too much of the same for a TV show. Heroic Pride feels like too many members. Much like the fight match up, I like the top half here but not the bottom half.

Kickass blends better the more I think about them. Katniss as the archer, Snake Eyes as the ninja, Snow for hand to hand, Crow has some powers, Bourne and Black Widow would have some great sexual tension and fight for leadership.

I hadn't thought about Team Kickass being emo, but holy shit. I was just going for a good mix of fighting styles and personalities.

I don't have a second vote in this one yet. With Heroic Pride, I don't know a lot of the team. And I don't love anyone enough to sway it for me.

And as has been said, the Speed team is a lot of repeats...except for Silver Surfer, who seems like an odd fit. He's primarily a space guy, which isn't going to work great for a team of guys who run fast.

Now, I question the validity of losing here a bit. My team is a basic Avengers/Justice League style team with very distinct personalities. I don't know who watched the Hawkeye series, but we already know that Kate & Yelena have chemistry and would be fun to see more of, but if you're a comic reader...Kate Bishop is one of those characters who seemingly has chemistry with everyone and that would portray well here.

Nightwing is a proven leader of a team and has more experience fighting crime and villains than anyone AND is a bit of a playboy so on a team with Kate, Yelena, Sara, Wynonna, and Nancy there are sure to be some interesting developments.

Sam and Shadow Moon are similar in that they were dragged into supernatural worlds but both come out of it with deeper knowledge and respect for the world and they're also handsome individuals that will vie for the attention of a few ladies as well.

Locke Lamora is the least well known probably, but he's a top of the line con-artist but the type that only cons evil people...mostly. He's also someone who had a hard background but came through it stronger.

Sara will vie with Dick for leadership of the team as she's also a proven leader. And speaking of being a playboy, Sara is no stranger to that and she can flirt with the entire team so that'd be a bonus.

Wynonna is a legacy of Wyatt Earp and carries his famed pistol, Peacemaker, which sends demons straight to hell so that helps out on the supernatural side of things.

Nancy is one of the world's greatest detectives and can hold her own on any team.

Sam is a genius of the supernatural world and will help researching, identifying, and killing any beasts the team comes across.


It's just a good across the board team with distinct power sets, abilities, and personalities.
