Once a month my venue does a 1000pt Cosmic Beat-down tournament. Which is essentially our anything-goes format, forgoing some of the house-rules we placed on our Golden Age tournaments.

I've recently been fascinated with the idea of assembling and playing an Illuminati team, and 1000pts seems about perfect for a team of figures that powerful.

There is the small matter of not having enough figures to be a true theme team, but I'm hoping the synergy of the pieces will make up for that.

IH042 Black Bolt 193pts
SI045 Namor 150pts
CL1-04 Iron Man 188pts
SI033 Dr. Strange 149pts
GX036 Professor X 123pts
CL1-07 Mr. Fantastic 100pts
903pts total

From there I would season to taste with 97pts of Feats (or an Infinity Gauntlet, or both).

There are a few pieces I'm not sure about, like whether I should play the 120pt Namor from Galactic Guardians instead of the SI version. Both have their pros and cons. Also not sure about feats (Aside from a couple copies of Brilliant Tactician), but that will come after characters are all settled on.

Any suggestions?

I don't really use feats so this is the team I would play

IH042 Black Bolt 193
GG042 Medusa 82
GX036 Professor X 123
SI033 Dr. Strange 149
SI045 Namor 150
SI101 Mr. Fantastic 100
WS014 Iron Man 202
999

Your team will do well also, because well they are the Illuminati, and I can't say I've every seen them not play well.

If you want to use feats/gauntlet I would suggest dropping CL Iron Man for WoS Iron Man.

Iron Man 202 + 20 (Gauntlet +2 gems) + 8 Protected
Dr. Strange 149 + 20 Brilliant Tactician +10 Stunning Blow
Mr. Fantastic 100 + 20 Brilliant Tactician
Namor 150 + 5 Submerged
Prof X 123
Black Bolt 193
