Constraint is 300 points, all rookies, no feats. Trying to be loosely thematic. Each of the 5 teams below are all exactly 300 points.

Team 1 X-men
Magma (aw031), barrier/poison
Cable (mm073), outwit
Polaris (mm031), TK
Con Artist (ui007), perplex
Cyclops (I082), RS
Professor Xavier (I076) mind control, leadership
Boom-Boom (ui031)

team 1 is fun and has lots of x-men healing ability. I chose magma/con artist/boom boom over gambit/jubilee


Team 2 (People from 52)
Booster Gold (OR043), barrier, enhancement
Steel (OR067),
Question (OR034) Outwit
Black Adam (U079) HSS

Instead of black adam I could have chosen Elongated Man (PC) and Animal Man or swapped either out for booster. This team has kind of low attack values and no perplex.

Team 3 Justice League (loosely), Justice League Unlimited
Green Flame (cd025),
SHAZAM! (OR079), HSS, Regen, Outwit
Mister Miracle (OR070), Perplex
Martian Manhunter (OR082), Perplex

Kind of like this team because Mister Miracle has an 18 defense + SS and Martian Manhunter and Shazam are pretty powerful for rookies with 10 attacks. MM and Shazam have good damage reducers. I would have liked to have thrown a rookie wildcat on this team but no more points. And of course, everyone else will have a rookie wildcat in play. Should I replace MM/Green flame with rookie wildcat and some other 17 point person? paramedic, checkmate medic.... I won the origin sealed event with rookie mister miracle and wildcat so I have love for them.

Team 4 Misc Marvel Powerhouse Rookies
Hulk (ui082),
Silver Surfer (SN076)
Cable (mm073)
This team deals a lot of damage and has high AVs and damage potential and SS is really tough. Not much of a theme however although SS and Hulk are both defenders...

Team 5 Ultimate Avengers (from the Ultimate Avengers 2 movie)
Iron Man (aw076)
Thor (SN082)
Captain America (aw079)
Black Panther (I085) outwit



I'm kinda leaning towards Team #3 or a variant thereof. Any help most appreciated.

Any uber-powerful rookies that I should try to add or look out for?

Either of these two will showcase a beatdown.

But the Rookies I'd keep an eye out for would be Supergirl & Mon'el pairing up to one-shot opposing figures.

I have a rookie Mon-el, should I look to use him?

I could create some HSS nightmares for people with R Mon-el + SHAZAM
and I'd have 77 points left over for a mister miracle or someone...

Not too thematic though...

When it comes to DC you can always say the LoSH travelled back to assist. Thus they're always thematic.

I like Team #5the best.
