I'm new to making theme teams and I'm not sure about how the rules work for creating them. Set me straight on this one. What I do not understand is whether or not you can have a non-keyword character on the force and it still be considered a theme team.
Lets say I am playing in a 300 point game and I have Martial Arts theme team of:
Bronze Tiger 60pts
Shang Chi 58pts
Psylocke V 75pts + Takedown
Green Arrow 70pts
Mockingbird E 27pts
Even though Mockingbird does not have the keyword Martial Arts is this team still considered a Theme team? If so how many PC's would this team get?
You do not have a themed team. All characters on your force must share the same keyword (except for bystanders).
With 5 figures on a 300 build, you'd get 2 PCs.
Here are the complete rules:

When the shared keyword is not a generic keyword, your force must include at least one character for each 150 points (or fraction thereof) of the game’s build total to be a themed team.
Themed teams receive multiple benefits:
• A bonus to the roll to determine who will be the first player equal to the number of characters (excluding bystanders) on the force.
• The player of a themed team can choose one target battlefield condition to be ignored by all players during the game (this choice is made when battlefield conditions are revealed); once the choice is made, it can’t be changed. This benefit is optional.
• For each two characters (excluding bystander tokens) on a themed team, a character on the themed team can use Probability Control once during the game; give that character an action token for this use of Probability Control. A character can’t be chosen to use this benefit if is already has two action tokens or if it has already been given an action on the turn this benefit is used.
Generic keywords. For the purposes of building themed teams, generic keywords are the following: Animal, Armor, Brute, Celebrity, Cosmic, Deity, Detective, Future, Herald, Kid, Martial Artist, Monster, Mutant, Mystical, Past, Police, Politician, Psychic, Reporter, Robot, Ruler, Scientist, Soldier, Spy, Teen, Warrior.
