Theme Teams that fit in specific point totals

[Aron]

So far the only team that really fits nicely into a specific point total is the FF. (but Reed is horrible, and the FF have no support)

I have a feeling the Avengers simply will Not be playable at a reasonable point cost as a 300 point team with certain lineups that appeared in the past (especially ones where Thor and Iron Man were both part of the avengers), but eh - still Mostly doable.

X men you can "make fit" by using weaker versions of certain X men, but this tends to hamstring you, and the Xmen seem to be weak enough as it is...

Minions of Doom don't really make sense on a team together (except for say doom and his doombots)

Spiderman - well they can be put on a team together but its not going to be that great.

Sinister Syndicate has alright team configs right now, but i'm not sure "classic" teams will be workable... (but we still have a LOT of the syndicate left to see).

Brotherhood barely fits into a 300 point game.. and its still pretty fragile from the way it seems..

It really bugs me that we can't tell Iron Man's actual point total to see if any "classic" lineups featuring him for the avengers will work yet... It also sort of bugs me that thematic teams like FF Avengers Doom and Spidey are lacking in the support department, and that the Syndicate, Spidey and the Xmen teams are still currently lacking in terms of (decent/any) fliers as well.. I just have a feeling actual Themes are always going to be weak for teams ;/



Thoughts? Comments?

probably true, Gonna be weak, and with littel support( healing) cause after all, how many Healing Lass heros are there anyway? for a theme game, my only limitation is that if you are bad, you gotta usa a hydra medic, and good guy's use sheild, cause that's all ya got, unless of course, the rumored paramedic comes out soon.

Paramedics still wouldnt really fit on an "all avengers" team though. ;/ Not like Jean Grey

I guess I'm looking for/trying to figure out who would be the battle field medics for those teams.. (if any) and also trying to understand the rationale behind having teams that seem to fit better at 500 points than at 3 or 400, while tournaments aren't usually that many points. (like the avengers)

It's hard with only 300 points to work with. That's why we usually play 400-500. It's dissappointing that some teams are still so underrepresented; especially in Marvel which has soon to be 2 expansions.

i'm glad someone finally brought up this topic coz i enjoy playing theme teams.

here are some i've tried . . . and my assesments:

doom - 300 (decent range team)

sinister - 300, 400 (somebody tell me how to make these guys work well?? i use E- doc ock, E-blizzard, E- boomerang, E- hyde, V-hobgoblin, and V- bullseye, sometimes i switch for E- sandman or E- whirlwind but mostly this team is a headache, any suggestions would help.)

masters of evil - 300 (decent but i can't get the play right for this team, not my style)

antibat - 300 (fair), 400 (better)

antisupe - 300 (fair)

x-men - 300 (good)

avengers - 300 (good), 400 (better), 500 (good), and 700 (rocks!)

JLA- 300 (tweeked with a R steel, rocks!)

batman - perfect 300 (my favorite team, cheesy but i say lay it on and hand me some crackers!)
