Like I said, I'm not in favor of the idea, but I'm not really adamantly opposed either. If you want the challenge to be optional, then so it shall be.

My official roster: (I'll tweak the name since X-Nation is the other team and in reality, the Blue and Gold teams each had all of like 2 missions they were actually separate in)

X-Men aka "2nd series" aka "The not so Uncanny X-Men" aka "All the popular ones"

1) R Cyclops (IC) 55 pts
2) R Beast (M&M) 50 pts
3) R Marvel Girl (M&M) 40 pts
4) R Wolverine (MM) 49 pts
5) R Psylocke (AW) 45 pts
6) R Gambit (XP) 28 pts
7) R Rogue (FF) 79 pts
8) R Jubilee (AW) 27 pts
9) R Dazzler (M&M) 48npts
10) U Longshot (MM) 66 pts

Ok, well since no one minds, and all, I think I'll change over to Legion. The chance to play upgraded Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl and others is just too tempting to pass up.

And so - I present the Legion of Superheroes:

1) Lightning Lad
2) Saturn Girl
3) Cosmic Boy
4) Timber Wolf
5) Ultra Boy
6) Dawnstar
7) Wildfire
8) Bouncing Boy
9) Triplicate Girl
10) Dream Girl

I passed up Brainiac 5, Colossal Boy, Shadow Lass and Karate Kid - I am considering going the 13 route - but I can't wrap my head around it for some reason. So these 10 are definitely in as my favourite Legion. I also can't wait to actually play an upgraded Triplicate Girl!

so is it 10 or 13 now I confused....

I think it is either. If you do 13, you have to use each figure 3 times in the season.

I'm taking the challenge.

What Happens if you fail the Challenge?

You pick last in next season's theme draft? lol

I'm a douche bag?

I'm down with this actually. A draft penalty of some sort.

Wouldn't it make more sense to lose those figures, and one more from your normal lineup?

I am not afraid of any penalty.

I'm playing them all. ALLLLLLL!!!!

To get down to 13, I ended up having to cut one of each team. I left off Piledriver and Ironclad. Piledriver because he is horrendous and Ironclad because he is redundant.

The Hood's Crime Syndicate of 13:

R The Hood
R Madame Masque
R Shocker
U Purple Man
R Wrecker
R Thunderball
R Bulldozer
E Vector
E X-Ray
E Vapor
V Living Laser
R Wingless Wizard
R Controller

Piledriver isn't so bad. I've seen him drive some pretty rough piles in the day. The flurry is kind of nice...

I'll pass on the challenge myself, as I think I'm going to be having some pretty large pointed teams considering my pieces, and any extras I have would be big cosmic guest stars like Thanos.

Um
I was just making a funny.

No funnies!!! This is serious business!!!!!

I don't know if there are 3 more open figured out there I could even add to my X-Nation Squad.

Hell, I can't even add more than nine figures to mine, even if I wanted to.

Alrighty then
I am good with my 10. I updated my first post with the 10 I want

we got a Schedule yet?

also Any duties need to be picked up? any help managing things?
Let me know
