Shortly after Xplosion came out, a buddy and I set up a no-points, just fill-out-the-roster version of this fight.

I'm pretty sure the Avengers won, but the dials are so different today. The MVP was V Ironman, believe it or not.

Definitely do Green arrow over cyborg,

Just looking at the lists, the Avengers roster has two advantages:

1) It's strictly Modern Age.
2) It has better Merge potential (to Avengers Prime and Scarlet Witch/Vision).

The JLA has no Modern Age duo to Merge into; its Golden Age selection is limited to one of the following: The Flash/Superman or Flash/Green Lantern. If a 200 point Batman and 300 point Superman were used, World's Finest would be a possibility, although still limited to Golden Age games.

The Avengers team ultimately has the best effectiveness and flexibility.

Fixed it. Can't believe I forgot Green Arrow. The only match for Cyborg, in the Avengers would probably be Black Panther, but he costs to much in comparison. Also, remember the rules to the post. Trying to build teams with certain constraints is interesting to me. And for the record, I've never lost to that hulk, so I don't think it gives the Avengers an edge, plus that Wonder Woman is amazing, usually unplayable, but with this game she fits perfectly.

it was quite the battle but in the end suprisingly aquaman was the last piece standing. i won dice roll and chose the blackgate prison post-quake map. gave me tons of water terrain to wok with.. mera was an all star cause of her tk. but justice league was the victor. but if i ran avengers i woulda changed a lot of stuff.

My buddy owns a butt ton of Avengers and I've got most of the modern age Justice League pieces, I think I'm going to try and do this battle and I will let you know.

The Avengers team also has better support (and wasn't even using Donald Blake if I recall). If Enchantress didn't lose most of her keywords at 50 points, I think she'd even things up quite a bit, but FF Switch and Wasp should be enough to turn the tide in most match-ups. That's a problem I see with Green Lantern Corps too; they have some awesome figs but fall short in the support department.

A couple of figs I think could make a huge difference for the Justice League team are John Constantine and the multi-incap Black Canary. I probably would have started my team building with them.
