Pick your six! | Fandom

I like these get to know each other little games so I thought I'd another one (Hopefully in the right place) So if you were given six slots for the avengers, and you could only have those six forever more, who would you choose in your team. It's not a power thing, so don't pick the strongest, unless you're into that. It's your six favourites/best combination for an avengers team. Add roles etc if you want, i just wanna know who you'd choose! My team:

Hank Pym / Ant Man - The ultimate leader for me. A reluctant hero, a scientist, a pacifist, and someone who shows the all too dark side of being a superhero as well as the great.

Pietro Maximoff / Quicksilver - Every team needs a hothead. Still, despite, Quicksilver has good intensions, and his power is really cool/unique on this team. Also, wanda needs someone to keep her from blowing everything up.

Wanda Maximoff / Scarlett Witch - The team big hitter. Could have easlily been Hulk, but I wanted a girl, plus what is her brother without her?

Walter Newell / Stingray - He's so cool and underrated (I'm crazy i know) I just think about a kind hearted, smart protector for the Avengers, plus he has an underwater avengers HQ. How cool is that!

T'Challa / Black Panther - The ultimate warrior (sorry cap) and voice of reason. Plus diversity. Plus, he's just awesome, isn't he?

Victor Shade / Vision - While his AoU potrayal was slightly off IMO, He's a bloody android! How aweosme. Plus Scarlett Witch x Vision! I'm sorry, biology

The people who almost made it: Hawkeye, Thor, Hulk, War Machine, Living Lightning

So what's your six? I wanna know!

Iron Man / Anthony "Tony" Edward Stark - a sceintist when it comes to technology & shares the role as leader with Cap.

Captain America / Steven "Steve" Grant Rogers - shares the role of leader with Tony.

Hulk / Robert Bruce Banner - the muscle & expert on gamma radiation.

Thor Odinson - The other muscle.

Ant-Man / Henry "Hank" Jonathan Pym - scientist #3 & creator of the Pym particles.

Black Panther / T'Challa - liason with Wakanda.

I love the classics! :)

Storm: Storm looks good in every team but secretly I always hoped she would join the Avengers. She would give a new light to the roster.

STorm has joined the team, but only for a few issues before AvX shattered her place on the team.

I watch The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes on Netflix. Granted she was an Avenger the entire series run, but when it came to leginimate stuff: I took Iron Man/Hank's side (the Secret Invasion & deciding to leave the Avengers respectively), never agreeing with Wasp. With her behavior on the show, I extremely doubt Wasp's going to be any more effective than Captain America.

Well, seeing as the show takes place ina n alternate universe and has Hulk on the team for more than two issues, itw as hardly representative of the actual characters. Behold:

The Wasp was elected as chairman of the Avengers, a position she held for a long while, having been molded into a savvy and able leader. Janet and several other Avengers were among the group of heroes summoned to Battleworld by the Beyonder to fight in his Secret Wars. During the conflict, the Wasp appeared to be seduced by Magneto after he captured her, but she was merely playing along in order to find out his plans. Temporarily overpowering Magneto and his new allies the X-Men, she escaped in an alien aircraft that soon crashed. Jan took refuge with the outcast Lizard. The Wrecker gravely wounded her when the Wrecking Crew was dispatched by Doctor Doom to retrieve the Lizard. Left in a death-like state, she was revived by the alien healer Zsaji.

While Avengers chairman, Jan led the team in discovering Jean Grey, an X-Man long thought to be dead. Her teammate Black Knight had an unrequited crush on her for some time, while another, Hercules, chafed at being given orders by a woman.

The most serious test to the Wasp's leadership ability came when the Masters of Evil under Baron Helmut Zemo attacked and conquered Avengers Mansion. Hercules was beaten into a coma by the Masters, and admitted to hospital, and Zemo sent two of the most powerful Masters, Titania and Absorbing Man to finish him off. With the help of the second Ant-Man, the Wasp defeated the two far stronger villains. With every other active team member incapacitated and a small army of supervillains holding their headquarters, it was up to the Wasp to assemble a rescue squad and mount the assault to retake the mansion.

So yeah, she's largely considered to be one of the best and most effective and capable leaders.

Only six? Tough call. But here goes my team:

Captain America / Steve Rogers: In my opinion, the best leader and one of the most noble hearts in the whole Marvel universe, always willing to do what's right (which is something my friends criticize about me).

Black Widow / Natasha Romanoff: Badass spy, trained by the KGB, I love her with Cap and the whole Cold War background, one of my favorite heroes in the whole Marvel Universe.

Scarlet Witch / Wanda Maximoff: Another one of my favorite characters, Wanda Maximoff is a tough character to get right in comics, because she's WAY more than a heartbroken, crazy, superpowered woman. What's not to love about Scarlet Witch? (Please, don't say House of M)

Vision: Synthezoid, Ultron's "son", Wanda's husband, density shifting, he's just badass and amazing overall.

Wiccan / William Kaplan: Here comes the non-canon. We need some teenagers in the group, and considering his mom and dad are in the team, why not add my favorite Marvel character ever? As powerful as his mother, just untrained, he would be an amazing addition to the team if he gets some training from Wanda

Hulkling / Teddy Altman / Dorrek VIII: Honestly, the last one was a really tough call. I went with Teddy mainly because of two reasons: first, he is Billy's fiancee and seeing those two apart breaks my heart and second: shapeshifter. Being able to play basically any role, Hulkling can be of great help in the team.

Honorable Mentions: These guys didn't get in my team, but were considered: Dr. Strange (Stephen Strange), Speed (Thomas Shepherd), Quicksilver (Pietro Maximoff), Emma Frost and Professor X.
