Go for the F4 team. It would be so much fun.

This would be a good 300 point Skrull/MOD team:

U Super Skrull 127
LE Dr Doom 68
E Taskmaster 58
LE Paibok 28
LE Raksor 19
300 total

Personally, I like the X2 cast team the best. Not only does that team totally rock, but the movie is really good. Stick with it.

WoW! So many good suggestions that it's hard to take care of all of them!

In principle any X-Men team would do, the thing with the movie cast was just a silly idea, actually. That team would do quite well with a real healer. Maybe i can find a way to get the V Jean Grey in there after all. Either by replacing Storm or Cyclops. They are both very frontloaded anyway.

On the Skrull/MoD. I'd really like to put Paibok and Raksor on that team, but i don't have them (yet). Cap you wanna borrow me yours?

IMO a competetive team should have mobility (= move+attack options), anti-stealth options (= TK+Charge, HSS, PW), some range, some close combat and some staying power (= healing, Regen., Damage absorption). What i'm trying to say is that i've narrowed my choice down to either X-Men or Skrulls.

X-Men
U Nightcrawler 83 (HSS, SSS)
E Wolverine 61 (Stealth, BCF, Tough. (Regen.), (BF))
V Jean Grey 50 (TK, ES/D, Support)
E Gambit 44 (Range 4, Stealth, EE, Perplex)
U Cyclops 39 (Range 10||, RCE)
V Meltdown 23 (Range 6, EE)
---------------
300 even

6 figures; mobility options with TK and HSS; close combat with BCF and Toughness, ranged combat with good range, RCE, EE; some Stealth; Perplex; Support; no figure is in an absloute support role.


Skrulls/MoD
U Super Skrull 127 (Range 8, RS (PL), EE (SS), INV)
LE Dr. Doom 68 (Range 6, PW, MM, Perplex)
E Taskmaster 58 (Range 6, Stealth, BCF, MM, Leader.)
LE Nenora 17 (Range 6, EE)
V Skrull Warrior 17 (Range 8)
E Skrull Agent 13 (Range 6)
------------------
300 even

6 figures; RS for mobility; close combat with high AV and BCF; anti-Stelath with PW; Damage reduction with INV and MM; Perplex

IMO the X-Men team is a bit more versatile and has a few more options, but the Skrulls could be more fun to play. Although i have never used Nightcrawler in a tourney before. Maybe i should do that before CT gets retired. But the same is true of Super Skrull and LE Doom.

to quote myself (yuck):

Decisions, decisions....




Anyway, thanx for the tremendous input!

Since you went away from the movie cast on the X-Men team, how about taking out Meltdown so you can add a paramedic (so you don't have to count on Jean's single click) and then use the rest to upgrade Cyclops or Wolverine.

Just a thought.

Can't use Paramedics, because they have no TA and even then i'm only allowed to use either X-Men or Spidey Allies together on an X-Men centered team.

stupid double posts....

and thus I read the part of team-pure... D'oh!

a good fig to take instead of mr. fantastic is the secret wars spidey, he lends an 18 and he gets that 5 clix of outwit that makes stretch even worth picking.

cheers

Yeah.

He's a great harassment piece and fits the point value. I use him a lot to tie up an opponent's front line pieces (those with no Ranged Attack...)
