I've noticed that most of my most recent teams have been basiclaly a variation on the same theme, and I want to change that. So, I decided to make a team that consists of barely anyone I usually use, and uses pieces I always wanted to use but never did, as well as keeping the cheese to a minimum. Here we go-

V Mandarin- 141
LE Madame Hydra- 39
V Taskmaster- 75
E Mandroid- 32
V- Paramedic- 12

Although Jean gray is overused and so is paramedic, they are standard support pieces so I'm cool with using them. Anyway, I really like this team. Taskmaster will stay inbetween Madame Hydra and Mandarin and provide hydra/SHIELD ability support, and so will Mandroid Armor. If any stealthed characters try to range attack me I'll TK taskmaster on over to deal out some punishment, and Use Mandarin and Madame Hydra for ranged support. I'm sorry to say this team will use turtling tactics, but I won't be an insane turtler. this team just requires a certain amount of turtling to stay alive.

I meant to say Mandroid Armor.

Jean Grey is used a lot because she's the best there is at TK for a low cost. Same goes for Paramed.
Anyways, I don't think your team is that bad. You have a little bit of everything. Nice balance. It sounds like people will be staying away from Mandarin anyways, so TM will have lots of work to do. Scary things are, once you committ with TM, they'll use your own TM for blocking LOS/LOF. You're gonna get stuck with an indoor setting.
Just worry about facing a team with lots of mobility and TK/BCF combos. A V Doc Oc could tear your support pieces apart.
Oh well. Seems solid, just plan for anything.

I would drop task to a E and and rookie brood warrior. To carry madame hydra and mastermind to. This equals 300.

get rid of the le hydra and put in the vet psylocke with stealth and enhancement blades and range of 8 she is so much better dump the mandroid for r invis girl then see if youcan still get a medic in their for some points but then you have a mandrian cannon with a 20 defence and a extra click of dmg

Sorry but I'm not going to use R Invisible girl. I wasn't going ot use psylocke because I always use her and I was trying to play pieces I wanted to play but never did (Mandarin, LE Madame Hydra, V Taskmaster). I might still use her though, she is so awesome for her points.

What he said, except I'd go w/a cheap Hydra piece to fit in w/the theme of the rest of your team plus the bump in her AV.

What About-

V Mandarin- 141
V Psylocke- 45
E Taskmaster- 58
R Mandroid- 29
LE Elektra (XP)- 19
R Paramedic- 8

Everyone would pump everyone's damage and attack (mandarin coming out witha damge of 6 and an attack of 13 on his first click). Mandroid would be the workhorse, Tking taskmaster as needed and taking push damage from shield ability, but because of his low defense it would be Paramedic's job to heal him.

or

V Mandarin- 141
LE Madame Hydra- 39
E Taskmaster- 58
E Mandroid- 32
LE Elektra (XP)- 19
E Paramedic- 10

Same thing except I'd better ranged damage and attack for my characters. What do you think? I love psylocke because she can kick ### in close combat as well as pump ranged damge and do some good ranged damamge on her own, but Madame hydra has that 10 range and 4 damage for 6 points less. Tell me if you like either of them.
