Here is the team I am looking to beat in the upcoming 700 Points IG Modern Tournament:

Thanos (gg049) 350
Doppleganger (ws62) 93
Mole Man (gg026) 47
Lex Luthor (sm015) 109
Watcher (G005r) 50
51 pts still free

Thanos pulls in the two biggest characters, place both characters in the 'Kill Box'. Doppelganger flurries 3 times (6 attacks for 5 damage (3 Base +2 Perplex apiece)). Doppleganger first attacks on his own, once with Lex using Doppelgangers 'Minion SA', and once with Mole Man using mind control. With two outwits, two perplex, and the ability to place the figures how you want them, the team can deal a huge amount of damage before the opposing team can even take an action against him. The Watcher provides a huge blocker for anybody who cannot get through him.

Not really sure how to deal with this sort of team given how quickly it does damage, the inability to counter Thanos' movement SA, and the simple fact it can easily kill my two biggest characters before I have a chance to target.

A few characters who seem like they would be effective are as follows.

Earth Man (sm023): His SA does not stop Thanos, but it stops Doppelganger from using Flurry. He can also copy the Mystics TA.

In-Betweener (ig002): Power Cosmic TA, reduces the damage effectively and pays damage back in spades with his double Mystics trait. With the Soul Gem he can heal a few clicks of damage back.

Loki (AVM211): Similar to the above, though not as effective.

Thor and Loki (ha057): Invulnerability as a trait, plus Mystics. Combined with a potent close combat ability, they can certainly grind out some damage.

Thanks for your help.

Together they shut down Chase Thanos SP before he gets a chance to do anything about it.

something along these lines at least.... you can change the team as you will but the idea behind it is that thanos has to pull over the 2 highest characters so they have to pull ghost rider and bombastic bagman.... use bagman's wildcard to get the mystics team ability from ghost rider so no matter what they take some damage... this is a FF theme team but you can change it as you please, you would have lots more options if you break theme but i like the idea of doing as much damage to them as possible if they pull you to them. the other idea id consider is using characters that are just a pain to hit like WOS nightcrawler/wolfsbane for their high defense with shapechange/supersenses stacked.
