Originally my venue had a 700pt War of light scenerio planned for this saturday but with the starter set release being pushed back the judge decided to change the scenerio to this one

Super Suffragettes!!!
Every figure on your team must be identifiably female. (Checkmate pawns are allowed because their promoted versions are clearly female.)
400 pts
Figures that have at least one trait or special power cannot be assigned feats. Theme teams and Battle Field Conditions still function like normal.
The tournament is Saturday not leaving me much time to plan and test my teams but here's what I've come up with so far, please help me pick which team I should use or how I should mod the team(s) to make them more competitive

Team 1:
Skrull Ms. Marvel 168pts
Susan Richards Chase 120pts
Gamora 73pts
Sin Rookie Shield Trooper 17pts
Sin Exp Shield Sniper 22pts
total build 400pts

Basically this team would feature Ms. Skrullvell hypersonic-ing in and out of stealth to attack guys while Gamora charges head first into the fray attacking with her exploit weakness while the two shield agents boost Susan's range while she fires away through stealth dealing 4 damage.

Team 2:
Skrull Ms. Marvel 168pts
Iron Widow 118pts
+Lucky Break 5pts
AV Ultimates Scarlet Witch 72pts
AA the Question 37pts

total points: 400

in this team Ms. Marvel will be used the same way with Iron Widow taking the place of susan to fire through stealth while Scarlet probs and puts up barriers, and Question will be used as a tie-up piece and lowering the defense of enemies

Team 3:
Gamora 73pts
KC Wonder Woman 198pts
Vet Vertigo 65pts
Vet Destiny 29pts
+book of destiny 4pts
Rookie IC Jean Grey 31pts

total points: 400pts

This team is pretty straight forward but I think it relies too heavily on two attackers who don't have a lot of damage reducers

Team 4:
Vet Origins Supergirl 232pts
AA The Question 37pts
Gamora 73pts
Rookie IC Jean Grey 31pts
Exp Mocking Bird 27pts

Total Points 400

A tage team of Gamora and Supergirl to run around killing while Question perplexes down stats, Jean Grey TKs Gamora where she needs to go, and Mockingbird acts as a tie-up piece

So which team should I use, how should I use them, what should I change, and what BFCs should I use?

Heres whatcha do.. [in my mind] and why.

Ms Marvel + ICWO
Gamora + ICWO
Lyssa Drak
The Question
Oracle

Heres why..

Ms Marvel seems to be on alot of your teams, and with good reason. She's amazing. Make her just a LITTLE bet better by slapping on a free perplex, and the option to get 2x perplex with the oracle ability. Pump that damage up, or morelikely the attack values to make sure you hit hard. An extra movement of HSS never hurt anyone either.

Gamora + ICWO. Pretty darn good on her own right, she suffers from a lack of damage reducers, and the extra perplex [or two] can really help pump that defense up where it should be. Extra movement with charge gets her into the fray faster, and the extra damage.. well.. see Ms Marvel

Lyssa Drak. While not on your lists, an amazing support peace with.. you guessed it, perplex. The TK and barrier help protect your guys and get Gamora near your enemy without taking a ranged hit. Later in the dial outwit does wonders preventing your opponent from doing anything about your attackers. 9/8 attack values for 2 damage also mean she has a chance at hitting damaged figures, or support figures.

The Question [AA]. See a theme? Everyone has perplex, which really works well with HSS Ms Marvel. No need to explain why Question is amazing.

Oracle/ICWO. 10 Point perplex on 2 characters is good. Add the extra 27 points and an action, and you end up with 2x perplex on 2 characters.. which is unfair. Remember the ICWO perplex is only on the assigned figure, but the 2ndary perplex is on whoever you want. Don't be afraid to stack perplexes and lower a tentpole's damage value to 0. :)

/feat-rule fail. Ignore above.

Shuffle the ICWO onto Lyssa Drak? o_O I have no idea.. my mind hurts.. why no feats?!

From those four, team one is the way to go. Team two is ok, but not as good as team one in versatility. Team three does not have enough damage redux. Team four is too many eggs in one basket with Supergirl. BE careful though, BatB is hot right now, so you may see a lot of Talia. She will screw over Skrull-vel in a hurry.

Here's a team that has done well for me.
Phyla Vell
Songbird
Sif
Moonstone
Thunderbolt Songbird and Moonstone to Superman Ally. 400 even.

Stealthbusting, range happy fun. Only problems are lack of prob, support, and damage redux.

I would run a mix of Amazons and Valkyries, but that is just me...

Sif, Brunnhilde, and 6 Valkyries. DO IT! 390 points. :p

Or.. more likely... Sif, Loki [female] and 4 Valkyries. Either way, probably funny as heck to run.

FYI, in Team 2, Lucky Break can't be assigned to Iron Widow -- it is only for :m-boot: or :m-dolphin: figures, not :m-wing:.

I like the first team. Lots of mobility and Gamora to keep it interesting when the fight gets all up close and personal.

I'd go with...

Stepford Cuckoos x 5 = 200 pts.
Storm - Experienced - Mutations & Monsters - 100 pts.
Phoenix - Unique - Ultimates - 86 pts.

That leaves 14 points for feats, which you can min/max for some brutal combos.

You are almost guaranteed First Player with a plus 7 to your roll.

And you have 3 themed team PC rolls.

It's an X-Men themed team, and you have the X-Men TA to help you out.
