I sometimes kill time thinking up different themes for membership in the big teams. What would an all-underwater Avengers team look like? What would a group of newb X-Men look like? An alternate reality team? Etc... I'm sure most of you do the same. Let's have some fun with posting our dream teams to spark some discussion (and maybe even ignite creativity).
I've never written an Avengers book, but if I did, here's my preferred lineup:
Captain America Iron Man Thor Machine Man Black Panther Pulsar (Monica Rambeau) Nova (Richard Rider) Hulk
Thoughts?

It's a good line up. I wanted a good balance of street level of heavy hitters. So here's my line up...
Captain America Iron Man Thor Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers) Hulk (as a part timer) White Tiger (Angela Del Toro) Black Widow Luke Cage

Cool idea, Dave!
I've never written an Avengers team, but I'd be down for something a little more like a heavy hitting B-List team.
Wasp Hawkeye Black Widow Photon Beast U.S. Agent Valkyrie War Machine

That's a solid AWC team right there, Cory.

Can I play?
I will pick a team BUT no one mentioned before can be in it. Just cuz. As everyone else went with eight members...
Black Knight Sersi Hercules Force Spider-Man Vision Quicksilver Scarlet Witch
Not a lot of Raw Strength but I like the bases that are being covered. 2 gods (well an eternal), 2 former couples, one family link, 3 brains, 2 fliers, 1 speed attack and 1 stealth who also has a spider sense.
I actually kind of want to write this team. Weird.

Who would be the team leader there, CW? A good group, but no one with real leadership, except maybe Quicksilver when he ran (pun) with his beasties.

I would point to the Black Knight for leadership. Vision being number 2?

Yeah, that would make a lot of sense. I'd love to see what a Spider-Man driven Avengers squad would look like.

Blame it on the movies, but I really like Hulk being on the team.

Hulk's inclusion is classic, and yeah, he stole scenes in the Avengers film...but it honestly makes zero sense to have him as an Avenger. He's always proposed as such a loose cannon. Why have him on the team at all if you're worried about constantly monitoring him? The Illuminati's idea of sending him off to an alien world was so simplistically perfect. It made total sense.

Well in my head he's really only there to be a heavy hitter when the team is facing an enemy that's really tough. That's why I only have him there as a part timer since in my head Bruce is most working out of his lab doing sciency stuff. While I will admit it really doesn't make much sense for him to be there, I think it could somewhat work. Since post Avengers movie the powers that be, did put him back on the team, which made for some fun interactions.

I suppose it wouldn't be fair for me to participate in this thread since I'm writing the title (next issue coming soon, promise!). But what the hell, I'll play.
Captain America Thor Warbird Hawkeye Mockingbird Yellowjacket Speedball
Actually, that lineup might get me in some trouble. Certainly a lot of protesters outside the mansion gates. How about this:
Photon Black Panther Falcon Espirita Mantis Binary Triathlon
Okay, that would call a different crowd of protesters. On the other hand, maybe I'll just stick with what I have. It has Hulk on it, and I love him being on the team. Sending a man off into exile would be morally wrong, and it makes sense to give him a chance to do good/treat himself while keeping him around folks that can check him if things get out of hand.

I don't know about you guys but I've never been that much of a fan of the name Warbird for Carol Danvers. I prefer her as Captain Marvel, she's earned it.

Rather than get into a massive argument about who's more fitting for the Captain Marvel name, I will state that I much prefer her current costume since I learned her old chest emblem too much resembles a german rune co-opted by the Nazi SS.

I'm old school, so my dream team would be either the original Avengers line-up (plus Captain America) or that great line up from the first Perez run with Wonder man and the Beast, Vision and Scarlet Witch etc.
I had an idea for an all African American version of the original team: Giant man( Bill Foster) War Machine Either Patriot or Sam Wilson Shango ( African Thunder god who I first heard of in a Thor annual) or Phastos of the Eternals.
Only stumble was a couldn't find a 'black' Hulk and my team is very female-lite. Gotta work on that.
Any suggestions?
