I've got 3 teams I'm considering; which of these would you play to win and/or play for fun?

Olson-ator
U Phoenix, 86 + Trick Shot, 20 + Nova Blast, 10
U Black Queen, 70
V Havok, 44
Starter Spider-Man, 40 + Pounce, 15
V U-Men, 22
R Polaris, 50
R Con Artist, 11
R Destiny, 20
V Paramedic, 12
= 400 points, 9figs; BfCs Ordinary Day and Bright Lights
--A multiple ranged threat team (plus Pouncin' Spidey). RunShooter BQ carries the Enhancer, of course. Polaris TK's, and lies in wait for the late game with her 4dmg surprise. Havok's Leadership helps to make the most of each turn. With all that range, BLights seemed a decent BfC in case I face heavy Bats/Stealth.

Joke-a-LAMPern
v. (Icons) Joker, 107 + Armor Piercing, 10
v. Ghost Rider, 102 + Double-Time, 5
e. Taskmaster, 58
v. Lockjaw, 38 = Double-Time, 5
ICwO on the above, 40
r. Destiny, 20
v. Paramedic, 12
pog Franklin Richards, 2
= 399pts, 7figs; BfCs Ordinary Day and Crosswinds
--Heavy duty LAMP strategy, with high-attack Mr. J. going in directly for the Poisoning/Outwitting kill. He's high-cost enough to MMind to Ghost Rider, whose Invul can soak well, plus PsyBlast might come in handy. Wildcard Tmaster gets towed along by Ljaw, and can clean up with Blades as needed. J & T can share attack values if necessary through BatEnemy. ICwO makes even Ljaw a threat. Round out with PC& Support for when the MMind fodder needs recharging. Crosswinds keeps the Soarers down for Poisoning when I can't get an Indoor map.

Ode to Pozsgay’s Mistake {revamped after Icons}
V Cheetah, 55
E Spider-Man (Universe Starter), 40 + Pounce, 15
V Karma, 59
R Lockjaw, 24 + Double-Time, 5
R Viper, 33 + Armor Piercing, 10
R Jean Grey, 31
V Paramedic, 12
R Con Artist, 11
U Black Queen, 70
R Domino, 35
= 400pts, 10figs; BfCs Ordinary Day and Astral Plane
--Another multi-threat force, with lots of variety. PsyBlast, MControl, and minimal LAMP are there for getting past Impervious when necessary. Charging Blades. Pouncing SStr. PC secondary attacker. Astral Plane makes sure the transporter, Charger, and Pouncer can reach their desired destinations on the more 'busy' maps.

I think any of the above might be enjoyable... which is why I'm having trouble deciding which one to choose. Any input is appreciated.

I really like the first one....Only thing I would do is Drop the Nova Blast and Con Artist and put ICWO on Phoenix and Black Queen. Might think about dropping the starter Spiderman for the Ultmate Spiderman R 31 . Basically get the same thing minus the TA. Which isn't looking like a big thing for your team


Second one is ok...But putting to much into Ghost Rider

You make good points. ICWO is great... on this team, though, I'd have a hard time choosing which figs should have it. For 9pts less, the hooker can let me choose which attacker gets a boost each turn, instead of me having to choose from the start which 2 of them deserve a feat. Also, without the hooker, the r.Ult. Spidey only has a 9att(10w/Pounce). That's why I went with the Starter Spidey, since he has a 10 attack for not much more in pts(& also late-dial Incap.).

Yeah, I'm on the fence on choice 2. I did want to use non-flying Transporters for sure, but maybe using the v. GR isn't really necessary. How about this for an alternative:

v. (Icons) Joker, 107 + Armor Piercing, 10 (v. Joker is the only Icons Joker I have so far)
r. Ghost Rider, 68 + Double-Time, 5
e. Taskmaster, 58
e. Lockjaw, 29 + Double-Time, 5
r. (Icons) Raven, 54 + Auto.Regen, 12
ICwO on the above, 50
pog Franklin, 2
= 400pts, 6 figs

I just not a big fan of hookers really.......Your just an Overconfidence away from a useless fig......I do like the second team ...But not a huge fan of poison teams

Split the difference and went with choice 3 (the 'Ode...'), and took 1st. Kurt Wagner LE, not bad! Faced 2 (1vet & 1exp) Superman teams, so it wasn't any slam dunk. MVP for those matches? Karma, of course. Nothing more satisfying than making Supes vaporize one of his own.
