This weekend my shop is running a 200pt mixed tournament which will be the first to include CJ figures. In the past I've had incredible success with V Nightwing, E Hawk, E Dove, and a Checkmate Medic, but want to try a variation on this team.
My first attempt at putting a new group together has ended up at:
E Deathstroke
E Fatality
R Hawk
V Paramedic
This would leave me with 25 pts extra. One option is to include V Robin, a great tie up/distraction piece. Another is to drop the Paramedic's level and throw in either a R Harley Quinn or R Psylocke to give Deathstroke a hand. Harley would have more versatility in helping Deathstroke, while Psylocke is a more proficient fighter. Not sure which way to go here.

Also, I'm considering a smaller tweak and going with:
V Nightwing
E Fatality
R Hawk
V Paramedic

The second team is a bit more shallow but features 3 proven buttkickers. The first one has more options but doesn't have as much oomph. Which one would you recommend running with? (Or should I just use Amazo? )

Go with #2 but if you ask my they are both #2

Lol!!!
Why not try Lady Shiva or Sgt. Rock. Rock is one tough sum##### for the points and Shiva once kept Thor and Dynamo busy constintly rolling for super senses.

Hadn't really thought of slotting Shiva in but she'd easily fit. And yeah, there is nothing as priceless as using her to fight off characters who cost 4 times as much. Good call!

Had the chance to try the team in three trial matches and went with:
E Deathstroke
E Fatality
R Lady Shiva
R Hawk
V Paramedic

The first two rounds are awkward due to Hawk needing to do the peepee dance, but you can use Fatility's TK to move Deathstroke into hindering terrain. Next turn you can move in Lady Shiva next to Deathstroke as a deterrent. Deathstroke's outwit can keep the opponents off-guard while a fresh fatality gets Hawk into charging range, where he grabs an object and bashes someone to pieces. The nice thing about this team so far is that Deathstroke, Hawk, and Fatality all make major targets. Do you try to shut down outwit, the beatstick, or RCE? I'm feeling pretty good about this team leading into the tourney on Saturday.
