Greetings,

This isn't a shabby team at all. You have a good use for the Sentinal as a damage sponge and 'oh carp!' factor. ('Oh carp' factor is applied to those figures that when on the board pretty much everyone tries to kill.) You also have a few power pieces for range *and* a few for close combat (I find teams that specialize too much tend to get pounded).

That said I have a few thoughts;

Firstly, why is Red Skull there? Is the tactic to fly him in with Logan to slap people around and poison them? There are better fighters. Is the tactic to have him for leadership? There are better choices. If you're going for the quasi crossover of skills that's your perogative. However (if you have her) I'd vote for U Wasp. She's another flier, costs less, plus leadership, and a second source of free move in case Panther gets pounded early (he does have a glass jaw of sorts).

Second, you might want to think of downgrading Strange to the Exp. version. If you do this he can throw the Defender's power into the Doombot/Black Cat mix, and for less then the Veteran without much of a differance in his powers and abilities to start with. The extra points could upgrade Vulture to a Doombot, or Doombots to Exp versions, or what not.

Some thoughts,
Thor.
