Team GSD is an easy choice for me here.

Team GSD

[Ultimatejobber]

Ah well, it was fun while it lasted. I think its awesome that my least favorite team made it this far and my favorite went down in round one.

[OpTard]

wow. team get shit done's really been working out.

[salmonjunkie]

They're getting shit done.

[Ultimatejobber]

World breakers on a comeback! Vote World Breakers!!!

[Stu]

Team GSD.

[Deadly]

Had to throw Jobber the vote there. It makes things more interesting.

[Deleted]

What should make it even more interesting is that I'm currently considering switching my vote. I love Adam Warlock, and that is a well-constructed team, but there is something I Really really like about the combination of Black Bolt, Hulk, Scarlet Witch, and Marvel Girl.

[Lucky]

See, for me the team doesn't really click. I like the players well enough, but none of them have the chemistry in my head that Cap, Guy, Barry Allen, and even Power Girl do.

[Ultimatejobber]

Whatever ,Lucky, Cap's a tool. Vote World Breakers!!!

[Batman]

I think that GSD is a flawed team and shouldn't have beaten Golden Team. But its flaws are not anywhere near as bad as having Hulk and Hulk-clone together. GSD.

[Ultimatejobber]

And I think its fine to have to similar characters on the same team. Six different powered characters teamed together for balance got me booted in the first round. Its ok to have lots superpowered frenzy IMO, especially since Skaar is coherent at all times and knows how to stop. I will reiterate that Black Bolt with Marvel Girl would be able to rein in Hulk/Banner. Finally, I think the World Breakers would win in straight up fight with GSD.

Not sure if this has been brought up or addressed yet, but since Black Bolt was part of the Illuminati, who shot Hulk into space, why would Hulk work with/for him here?

In World War Hulk, Hulk damn near killed Black Bolt the first chance he got to put his hands on him.

This.

Except for the wildcard of Adam Warlock. (I did switch my pick to World Breakers, for the record.)

I think you think way too much of balancing the powers of the team rather than the the actual personalities of the characters. Like how you feel Solar, Warlock, and Power Girl to be the same, when those characters are completely different from each other. Warlock and Power Girl - sure, similar powers but not in any way shape or form do I think they bring the exact same thing to a team.

I haven't read any Skaar books yet, but form what I can tell, a Hulk/Skaar dynamic (character-wise, not power-wise) would be interesting to read on a team.

It's funny, as someone who appreciates the old school as much as you do and as someone whose put a lot of time developing stories for your teams, I'm surprised that you get way more hung up on the powers than the characters themselves.

[Ultimatejobber]

I have to say that I love seeing how different folks base their votes with these teams. I didn't consider story arcs/events in my drafting because I knew I would be too hung up on deconstructing my own teams. To some extent, my ideas for the teams were based more on what I hoped the team would be able to accomplish. I mentioned this in another thread somewhere, but I wanted a powerhouse team that could throwdown with anyone and win. I believe the World Breakers to be that team.

[Lucky]

I agree. I like the power balanced a bit as I'll get bored watching a bunch of the same sort of heroes because it gets redundant. But personalities can change that. Especially since personalities help shape HOW you use similar powers. Gladiator and Black Bolt might be "Superman-like" but they're not really. Gladiator's a ruthless warrior, Black Bolt's a quiet borderline pacifist until he HAS to act, and Superman's a proactive hero with a strong moral code. Their different personalities make them different heroes despite their "similar" powers.

Like I said, World Breakers just don't click with me while I really would love to read 2/3rds of GSD as a team. Based more on personalities than powers.

The Black Bolt that took part in that decision was a Skrull. The real Black Bolt was in captivity by the Skrulls and did nothing to the Hulk.

[Lucky]

It has been revealed in ‘’Secret Invasion: Inhumans’’ that Black Bolt was captured “just after” the Silent War, after Maximus seized power, one night when the former king left Medusa’s bed, soared out the window to attend an Illuminati meeting, and was quickly captured by a Skrull ship overhead that blocked his powers. However, it is unclear what Illuminati meeting was held at this time, for none known has, as Silent War took place after the meeting upon the Road to Civil War and the Hulk banishment meeting.

Sounds to me like the real Black Bolt banished Hulk.

[Ultimatejobber]

Ok whatever. Please see my previous post regarding my ignoring storylines for this draft.

[Ultimatejobber]

Wow looks like a late surge for GSD is gonna do me in. Time to start planning for the wrestling draft!
