"Superlative" was just to get your attention.
This is a fairly standard 400 pt team I put together to play this weekend. So I’m posting it to see what y’all think.

R Bane 61
E Dove 46
R Blue Beetle 26
E Booster Gold 38
V Manbat 31
V Nightwing 72
R Hawkman 32
R Grodd 54
R Harley 27
R Ch Medic 13
-- 400 even

Bane and Dove are a pair and have a 1->2 punch. I’m just a little concerned that Dove won’t be able to get into the battle right away. I figure they’ll draw a lot of fire though and let the rest of my team opperate fairly unhindered.
Beetle and Booster are a standard thing for me. Fly in and force blast. Nothing fancy.
Similarly with Manbat and Nightwing. Harley will be able to help this pair out by increasing MB’s movment, or nightwing’s damage. Hawkman and Grodd move and mindcontrol, turning my opponent’s heavy hitters against them.
I know its not fancy, but I typically play with dupes and would have a field of Boosters and Hawkmen, so this is a stretch for me to play with no dupes. :)

Well, have at it.

It looks nice for a DC only team.
To my big surprise you seem to have made a mistake as E Dove is 51 points, not 46. That'd be the Rookie.
Only thing I see is you could drop Harley to upgrade Dove and add another medic.
But then, as pointed out time after time, I am the worst player in the whole wide world...

Well, back to the drawing board. Thanks for watching my back Emp.

I'm going to have to switch it out somehow, as I was counting on Dove taxing someone, anyone.
As for the second medic, I tend to only play with 1. Especially in DC where the medic has more than just 1 click of support.

Could you safely downgrade ManBat, pair him up with Bane, and switch over Dove as a taxi for Grood (who has range on his side), allowing them to hang back until Dove pushes into the good clicks?

No, because they don't fit on 400 pts.

The new team as it stands is:
Bane r 61
Manbat e 27
Harley r 27
medic r 13
Blue Beetle r 26
Nightwing v 72
Grodd r 54
Booster e 38
Hawkman le 54
Booster r 28

400

but no cigar. Man-bat V to E: 4 pts recovered, lose 1 pt of move and charge.

Dove R to E: 5 pts needed, gains flight, et al.

He's going to need to reduce some other figure as well.

Looking at the figures again, Nightwing is the only option, but changing him to E loses the Batman Ally team ability, which is a big loss. Unless he completely eliminates the medic and goes "commando", I don't see how to make it work.
