Favourite Teams

Teams, Past & Present, Who I've Loved

List items

  • Original X-Men, Government sponsored team & Investigations... good characterisation wins every time.

  • The new team starring Firestar, Gravity, Toro, 'Spider-Girl' and Nomad won my heart. I know they weren't popular with everyone, but I found them compelling and wanted to see more. Although I was bitterly disappointed that the series was cancelled, I'm thoroughly pleased to see a string of mini series & cross-overs. Keep 'em coming!

  • An absolutely brilliant collection of unhappy & incoherent teens. This is not the usual team of super heroes. They're dying from their own powers, and keep failing at every hurdle... yet are all thoroughly intriguing. A worthy heir to the Avengers: Initiative!

  • A great lively team with a lotta heart... And proof that I do DC too. Shame this wasn't in the "relaunch".

  • What's not to love about these guys? Characterisation-heavy is the way to go!!

  • It may be kids' stuff, but it's great! Don't knock it till you've tried it!!

  • One of my first, and therefore an all time favourite... both the classic & newer versions are pure gold.

  • What started off as a mediocre teen mutant team, the Xavier Institute pruned away the excess to focus on the best of the new generation. It was such a shame that this series was ended so abruptly, but these young mutants will remain firm favourites for years to come.

  • The classic team was the best, but the new guys were good too

  • A team that lasted for little more than a four-issue limited series before being absorbed by the New Mutants. Yet they were daring, brave, argumentative, and thoroughly likeable. When will Wheezey get around to writing X-Terminators Forever??

  • It's been nearly 15 years, but I still love these dorky, goofy, ill-fitting bunch of intergalactic mutants. Ah, the maany ways my fan-girl mind has often dreamed about bringing them back...

  • They used to be the best team of all time... even when Liefeld killed the fun. Sadly not now that they've been forced through dreadful stories in the new series.

  • New & old, this has been a long favourite of mine. Yep, that's right... I still liked the original series!! But not this current "Uncanny" crap.

  • They may be freakish, but there's something about the inhabitants of the Blue Area of the Moon that I love. Possibly because in the last decade they have been character driven, dark, moody & secluded. Interesting stuff.

  • Great team members from a great series, scattered all around. Wish I could see more of these guys...

  • The best Justice League of all time... God I love DeMatteis & Giffen. No, I'm not bothering with the "DCnU" stuff.

  • It started great, but sadly went downhill... But it was still a good idea that could have been good.

@John Valentine: Some X-Men,  but not all of them... there's too many of them now, it's not really a 'team' anymore.

I agree completely with the Liefeld comment on New Mutants. I will never be able to scrape the Boom-Boom art off my soul! Good list here.

@Gothic Storm: Not just the art.  He took over the plotting (just not the actual scripts), so the direction that the stories went in were his reponsibility too.  I know that it was just a sign of the times, but upon reflection... it was just a lot LOT less fun :( 
 
And the art was pretty weak too ;)

@X-93: @shawn87: This is just my favourite teams.  Obviously I still have a soft spot in my heart for the X-Men.  But as a team, they've been far from favourite for many MANY years now.  The other X-Teams are usually much better.

@fisto77: They're good, but not great.  I've never really found myself desperate for more F4.  But yeah, I like the esoteric Inhumans :)

Wouldn't the Initiative fall in the same category as the X-Men "team" being to large and spread out. Interesting list though good to see that not everyone sticks to the Big names (Avengers, JLA, X-Men and the like).

@Mr.Q: I didn't think of it like that, but you're right.  However, there isn't really a team that covers the first class of new Initiative trainees from the Avengers: Initiative series ;)

It's depressing. When hunting for NM(I) back issues, his are the only ones I can find. But odds are, the points you mentioned are why.

@pixie_child: They usually appear in bargain basement bins.  You can also find them on eBay (although that's not as fun as finding back issues in the shop).

@Violet-Eyed Dragon: Because I don't read the Avengers.  That's why it's a list of MY favourite teams.

Great List - New Mutants, X-Force and some other classic Marvel teams! Initiative is a nice touch, are you reading Avengers Academy?

Thanks, I was late to the Initiative but thoroughly loved it!  I'm enjoying Avengers Academy, so I might add it to the list too (since it seems to be Initiative: The Sequel ;)

Yes. I love the Power Pack. They had a TV series started but I think it was cancelled. They should be used more often. I'm sure they'd be a hit with kids if they had a cartoon series come out.

@HumanX: I recently found out about the live action Pilot they made for Power Pack.  I'll have to hunt it down on YouTube ;) 
 
@notoriousbcb: Which version of X-Force?  Or all of them? :)

Very intersting list. Great choices...one question though...why no Secret Six?
