The Justice League. The Avengers. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Planetary.

Comic book super-groups have a fundamental foundation in our literature and our mythology. From the days of the Argonauts, we've been enamored with the concept of mythological entities, archetypes unbound to the convention of dreary reality, forming conglomerates. Titans, standing as collectives. Hives of authority. We dream these groups into existence for a host of reasons. Celebrity. Creativity. Security. What better way to examine society than through the lens of the gods? Whether allegorically or through the pulp noir of condensed prose, comic book teams have always embodied or presented shifts in culture that humanity has needed to tackle. The Fantastic Four defended us from threats scientific in nature. The Teen Titans were a coming-of-age story for those who needed a hero experiencing the same shift in development as them.

I asked the Board to go wild in creating their own superhero teams. The thread that follows is a result of that clarion call. I will attempt to rank these potential teams of gods and monsters, and I apologize if my own point of view differs from your own. I will try to fairly parse out what I think is potentially successful and what isn't using my own personal metrics of comics. Hopefully you all won't think I'm being too tough on your concepts. I'll take a look at several different key factors. Potential cohesiveness as a team, diversity as characters, conceptual creativity, and a general Scarlet factor all will play roles in determining where your rosters drop on the list. That final category is, of course, the wild card amongst the rest.

I hope, much like my wrestler-ranking list, you'll all join me in discussion and conversation as we go from ranking to ranking!

Without further ado, the potential teams:
