I have a tourney this weekend which is a modified version of the Winner Takes All scenario. (Brief synopsis: There is an item in the center of the board that you want. Anyone can pick it up, but all that person can do is either move or pass. In our version, at the end of 10 turns, you have the item in your possession, you get an extra 150 points) The teams are 500 pt, Marvel-only, no named dupes, Good Guys or Bad Guys. Some neutral figures may be considered Good or Bad (Thanos, Vampire Lackey = Bad, Logan = Good, etc.), while others are truly neutral (Thug, Lackey, etc.). I have two teams (1 of each) and I can't decide which one to use. Help!

Good Guys -
U Nick Fury 62 pts
U Elektra 36 pts
U Wasp 44 pts
V Logan 60 pts
V Jean Grey 50 pts
V SHIELD Medic 16
V SHIELD Sniper 18
V Mandroid Armor 36
E Black Panther 36 pts
E Black Cat 32 pts
E SHIELD Sniper 14 pts
E SHIELD Medic 15 pts
E Mandroid Armor 32 pts
R Invisible Girl 37 pts
R SHIELD Sniper 11 pts
Total = 499 pts

The idea here is to have one Mandroid TK out one of the other Mandroids, then have Jean TK Wasp to the second Mandroid who will then TK Wasp to the item. Wasp will pick it up and go soaring away. I will place my three objects in a corner like this:

|XXX
|OOX
|WOX

I will move Nick, Elektra, and Invisible Girl on the objects, so they will be in Stealth, then eventually move Wasp to the corner square (W). Then if someone tries to go BtB, I'll TK Logan in for some slicing and dicing.

Bad Guys -
LE Nenora 17 pts
U Spiral 56 pts
V Magneto 103 pts
V Whirlwind 41 pts
V Puppet Master 42 pts
V Vampire Lackey 20 pts
V AIM Medic 17 pts
E Ultron 139 pts
E Doc Octopus 44 pts
E Vulture 20 pts

The plan here is to maximize the MoD ability. Mags will TK Spiral, Ultron will taxi Puppet Master, and Vulture will taxi Whirlwind up to my opponent's heavy hitter. Ultron will loan his attack value to Puppet Master for an easy Mind Control (and a token on my opponent), then Spiral and Whirlwind will go Flurry all over his behind via the MoE ability. I can bring up Doc Oc if necessary, or even let Mags shoot for 4 clicks of damage. If they attack any of the MoD members, I have a Skrull there to help (hopefully).

That being said... are these viable teams and strategies? I can only use one team. Which one, or do you have a better one? Thanks!
