You shoulda offered me something cool. I'm pretty sure I could have picked my team with a 9 with no problem.

Of course, who would have made fun of the Legion of Doom then? Who?

Unless someone picked...Queen's Vengeance

I guess I'm pretty far down on the totem pole, so I'll have to come up with some back-up themes. Would someone message me when I'm supposed to draft?

Well, I've always maintained that Morgan is thematic for my team. The Queens Vengeance was just an altered reality, and her trait comes from the first story of the run on which my team is based.

No that team would fall under the Secret Wars rule I am sure

So if I want to run an alternate reality team, 2 members of that team have to be clixed and I have to core draft them? 616 versions of those characters aren't allowed in altered/alternate reality teams core drafts? Do I have that rule right?

That's correct for alternate reality teams.

We include altered reality characters (eg Flashpoint) with the standard versions on the grounds that they're temporary changes rather than distinct in, say, 616 and the Ultimate universes are.

Yeah. You could draft an AoA X-Men team with Nightcrawler and Jean, even though those are the only two AoA X-Men in existence. You could later draft Iceman even though he's not AoA Iceman, but he would be open to theft from a theme team.

You could have them on your team, but just not in the initial Core.
For example, you really want to run Avengers, but Doombot has taken them.
You could Core Movie Captain America and Thor. Then pick up 616 versions of Vision, She-Hulk, and Hawkeye.
What you can't do is Core Ultimate Cap and Movie Thor.

Thanks for the new thread!

New teams are up.

I'll be honest, for those asking to be PMed when it is your turn. I won't be doing that. You miss the 24 hour deadline you get skipped. Gotta start paying attention to the threads.

Actually there's 3 more. X-man, Cyclops, and Dark Beast.

Oh wait and Nemesis too.

While all of those are AoA characters, none of them were X-Men in AoA.

Thank you for filing the counter suit in the attempted lawyering

You'll be getting the bill in a few days.
