Gator's Wild Pack 2.0: Silver Sable, Moon Knight, Drax, Venom, X-Man, Deathstroke

Stu's The Talons: Hawkman, Captain Britain, Beast, The Atom, Dr. Fate, Batgirl (Cassandra Cain)

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

Talons or Fantastics?

Nevermind then.

[Lucky]

There is absolutely no way I can imagine the Wild Pack working for even 1 mission. In fact I suspect at the first meeting Slade would tell them all to fuck off while Venom tries to eat Moon Knight (who is busy talking to his imaginary friend). That being said I would kind of like to see the comic where Deathstroke stabs Venom in the neck.

I'm with Lucky. I just don't see Venom as a team player. Also, Hawkman's mace is badass.

[Deleted]

Venom can be a team player when he has to be. Reference the Maximum Carnage arc.

And worst come to worst, X-Man can just control all of them and make them think as he pleases.

[Lucky]

Sure, because THAT always works out well.

In that case I look forward to the issue where Nate's concentration slips and Slade stabs him in the neck, Sable shoots him in the crotch, and Venom eats his head.

[Batman]

Nah, with Slade's reflexes and observation skills, he'd notice that X-Man was about to mind-control him and cut his head off before he got the chance.

What is Wild Pack 2.0 was told there was a HUGE cash prize waiting for them if they won the tournament?

[Batman]

Well...

Then I think they'd all be pretty mad at you right about now for screwing it up for them.

[Lucky]

BURN!

Venom don't care about money anyway. He'd just eat you while you were explaining it.

[salmonjunkie]

I actually think Silver Sable is one of the few people out there who could keep Venom in line temporarily. It's Deathstroke that fucks the team up. Like he's really going to take orders from this frosty haired woman!

[Lucky]

I don't really think I can believe Sable controlling Venom for more than an issue or two but I do agree with the overall point. Deathstroke wouldn't even play. Make him subservient to someone else and tell him to team with a raging psychopath alien, some weird mutant with a messiah complex, and some schizo? Who the fuck do you think you're talking to?

But Venom would totally eat someone while Slade was saying that.

Out of curiosity: who would any of you have slotted into the 6th spot of that team instead of Deathstroke? (from who was available with the last pick, of course.)

[DevSop]

Jesus? Satan? Another Spider-Man?

Kaine?

Ahem. Team Evil would like to have a word with you. Please step this way...

You mean after dropping Sable, Venom, and X-Man as well?

Hmm...

Marc Hazzard: Merc, Paul Kirk: Manhunter, and Starfire. Hmm, and keep Deathstroke. Call them the Mercs.

[Lucky]

I have no idea who at least 2 of those guys is.

Yeah, no offense intended, Gator. I'm just not down with the group idea to begin with and while Slade might be the biggest problem for one guy (and I might agree with his logic) that still leaves Venom eating people. Or Moon Knight being bat shit insane. Or Nate Grey really not seeming to fit the "merc" notion very much. There's not one guy who I think draws the team together in a way Deathstroke didn't.

I think we're just seeing that most of the merc/anti-hero teams are falling to more classic notions of teams based on popular opinion. Which when you think about it is kind of weird since there's enough of these teams that you'd think there'd be enough people who were ok with them.

Lucky it would be funnier if she shot him in the head and Venom ate his crotch.
