I'm confused about building a team. What's the difference between core, reserve, and also available members? Plus, how does (Team Members: 12 points each) work with their regular heroclix cost?
Ah yes I need to explain the team-up cards for the new guys.
Here is basically how it works. Up on the top right of the card there is a cost for the team-up card that brings it into play kind of like a feat card that attaches to your whole team.
For example the Classic JSA card costs 100 points.
Quote
Classic JSA100
However for each different core team member you get a reduction to the cost of the team up card. The reduction is losted as "n points each" right before the list of members.
For example each different JSA member saves you 20 points on the team-up card cost
Quote
Team Members: 20 points each
Dr. Fate, Jay Garik, Alan Scott, Sandman, Hourman, Spectre
Thus if you play 5 of the 6 core members the card cost is free 5*20 = 100
The card should be designed such that you can play the teams at 400 points with the card for free. Some teams have more wiggle room to change from Rookies to Vets and add more members.
If you want you can also leave off a core member, but pay a small penalty in points.
For example if you only played 4 of the 6 members and left of the Spectre and Sandman then you would only save 80 points (4*20 = 80). That would mean the card costs 20 points (100-80 = 20). But it would leave you some room to upgrade to Vet Dr. Fate or play a feat or two.
Sometimes you will see a card that has reserve members usually in a smaller font. Reserve members only get half the bonus toward the card.
Quote
Team Members: 12 points each
Sinestro, Star Saphire, Cooperhead, Ultrahumanite, (Pyscho Pirate), (Prof. Zoom), (Trickster)
For example Psycho Pirate, Prof. Zoom, and the Trickster are only reserve Secret Society members and only save 6 points each instead of 12 points each.
Sometimes you will see an "Also Available" List. These are neither core members nor reserve members. You can play them but you get no discount on the card.

Also Available: Blackhawks
For example the All Star Squadron could add any number of Blackhawk generics but they get no discount for adding them.

Hey just for ease of use how about a list of the teams and managers that someone updates just so we don't have to scan through the messages to find the open teams.
I can do it, but not till later tonight

I am trying to update page 1 of this thread with the selctions for each group.
Also I am updating the Group threads as well as we go, but if you want to put together a seperate list its all good.
Also, I finished a chart that should handle the seeding for teams based on who and where they get selected. Hopefully it will give a decent balance to the brackets as well as create diversity in who you play in the first round.

Nice selection, I figured you for the Skrulls at some juncture. They are pretty strong.
