Jobber's Silent Assassins: Vision, Hawkeye, Black Cat, Domino, Forge, Morph

The Demko's Team Evil: Joker, Dr. Doom, Lex Luthor, Apocalypse, Carnage, Mephisto

Vote up, bitches. Poll closes Wednesday at 4:30 Eastern.

Black Cat is hot. No one on Team Evil is hot. Also, Black Cat likely isn't plotting the downfall of her teammates, whereas everyone on Team Evil likely is.

How is anyone voting for a team of villains that will be too busy fighting each other in a SUPERHERO team showdown?

[Batman]

Well one of the two votes is presumable Demko....

[Demko]

I didn't figure these guys had a chance. I thought about a last-minute team substitution of Riddler, Toyman, Mr. Mytzlplk, Mephisto, with Luthor and Doom as the brains of the operation, but I decided to stick it out with these guys.

And the other, I would guess, is The Dead, since he defended me in the main thread, and was with my all-villain idea from the start. :-)

Hero Draft. Silent Assassins it is.

[DevSop]

I was really hoping to draw Team Evil.

[Lucky]

I'm sure some people are just voting based on vague list notions. Not caring about heroes, teams, characters, personalities, chemistry, stories, or anything. Just "He's cool!" Which I think is lame but doesn't surprise me.

EDIT: That sounds jerkier than intended. I don't mean to insult you if you did the "lame" thing. I just don't see the fun or sense in it, personally. But I totally get that others do that.

[Habs]

I try to think of chemestry, personalities and all that, and mostly the "woudl I read that book" even if it's to see how and when a specific team would blow up. But I will also admit I have limited knowledge of the comic universe and might not always make the best choices. I try to read up on some heros I don't know, but wiki on comicvine can't give you all the info you need or what specific series on person is thinking of when drafting a hero or vilan. Like my choice of Sabertooth, I like the one were he is vicious and violent but under control by someoen strong (Magneto in my case) but you get the fellin gthat it's going to blow at one point, and you want to be there when it happens.

Silent assassins it is here since Demko's team would be a one issue affair, but a fun read for sure.

Did Black Cat become an assassin and I never knew it? Forge, too?

Are they real quiet or do they kill silence?

Still voted for them over bad guys.

Balck Cat is quiet and sneaky and so works. Every good espionage team needs a tech, thus Forge. Imagine all of the cool shit he would create for the team.

[Lucky]

Every time I see a team with Hawkeye and Morph called "Silent Assassins" I register a huge "Huh?" Plus it strikes me odd that you have 5 people I don't know to ever have murdered in the comics as "assassins." Forge and Black Cat don't bug me though besides the notion that like everyone except Domino they don't really seem like assassins to me.

But yeah. Its not Team Evil.

[Ultimatejobber]

Maybe assasins wasn't the best word to use, but I couldn't think of a better name for my espionage team. I'm just not that creative. It sounded cool to me so I stuck with it. As for morph, he isn't that warm and cuddly eversince he bonded with Proteus. He is definitely not above crossing an ethical line or two.

[Lucky]

See, if they're not actually a team of assassins I suggest you change the name for the 2nd Rd. I agree, its a fine enough name, but it suggests a clear image. And that image strikes me as odd with the personalities. That group as an espionage team? That's different. But as a team of assassins? I have some problems with them.

Either the name doesn't fit the team or the characters don't fit the team concept. Sounds like its the name that's the problem but unfortunately that's the first thing we notice and the only clue we have to a theme. So we end up getting the Silent Assassins, led by a guy who talks a lot and has very high respect for the sanctity of life.

I'd change the name anyway, because "Silent Assassins" makes me think of a group of people farting.

[Ultimatejobber]

Ok, I am officially looking for suggestions to change the team name "Silent Assassins." Friends, help me find a suitable replacement.
