Bad?

I hate the Arena. Too wide open and range-friendly. Your Iron Man and Songbird will love it. The rest, not so much.

X23 and Robin will be effectively neutered or will be a waste of points on the map.

Bulleteer because...? The Brood can...?

Their 8 movement means they will be shot up trying to move in on the opposing team.

If I had to build a team for the Arena I would use long range, TK, Barrier and Smoke Cloud pieces.

Singbird is a good start and I like Iron Man and his SHIELD TA boosting range but that's it. Try and find some high movement pieces and get some Perplex to raise defenses, range, or movement to get to the opposing hindering as soon as possible.

Use an Immobile Object so if it gets destroyed it will create hindering terrain (unlike the Red & Yellow ringed objects who just disappear).

The Arena is a good map if you can get your opponent to come to you. I don't like that style of play - I'd rather go after you - but the Arena is really unforgiving in this manner.

I hope something in here helps you...

Robin has the nice Outwit and then perplex and back again. Good atk and defense #'s and powers.
Iron Man is your best piece in regards to mobility and defense special powers.
Brood and X-23 are great close combat pieces for the cost. Great second tier attackers.
Box is an interesting piece which may pay off.
Songbird and Miek I'm not big fans of.
I'm not sure which figures you have but I'm sure you can find another figure or two to replace these two figures.
I would go with someone that has a good amount of range. Possibly someone that can see into stealth/hindering. Possibly someone with TK or another flier or a transporter.
