I like Bubba and Eriks teams alot, I think I did an outstanding job with my own as well, really going outside of my normal comfort zone.

Well, Amazo starts off with the powers of the original JL (Aquaman, GL, Flash, Martain Manhunter, and Black Canary) which Adaptoid will copy. And they both will copy Mimic who has the 5 original Xmen powers.

Between those two, you are fighting a lineup of both teams. Parasites ability to drain and mimic is an added bonus.

In retrospect, I should've drafted Super Skrull instead of Parasite for 3 lineups lol. Ten again, I wanted two dc and two marvel.

I always approve of teams of picks you never draft on a reg basis.

I challenge myself to draft characters I haven't drafted in the previous two drafts I did.

i was originally gonna go with a "teen checkmate" but i don't think there's enough non-powered kids to make the rule of two work.

I LIKE my team (even if I didn't wind up using my original ideas)!

I was gonna do a Marvel side and a DC side but I figured I should take advantage of being able to use non-comics characters.

I like the fact that my team has such a varied power set (matter manipulation, superspeed, lycanthropy, prophetic dreams, shrinking, etc.).

I think this could clarify some things we've seen already, like Bigby's WWII service, how Phantom Lady learned enough spy stuff to set up a school later, Alan Scott as a legacy member, Destroyer learning what he needs for the V Battallion, etc. Maybe a throwaway line could explain how Indy survuved that scene in Raiders (tech. from Namor or Stark?).

Particularly like Fury (shocked that I got him), Indy and Bigby on the same team.

And I need to make 1 more pick.
