Your character has a hero team. What is it called?

(With honor to Stan Lee, of blessed memory)

I so get to cheat with this one...

Disreputable Dog: The Shiners, I guess? Or Team Abhorsen.
Tybalt: Those that keep Toby alive.
Sabine Wren: She used to be with the Specters, but I think now they're officially the Phoenix Squadron.
Ahsoka: CW-The Misfits ;p
Danny Rand: The Defenders
Hank: X-men
Sam: Avengers
Viv Vision: The Champions
Jessica Drew: A little tricky. She was an Avenger but is working solo. Current comic publication has her with a team labeled Spider-Force as she's pulled into yet another cross over, poor girl.

However, when I was making plans to re-app her, I was thinking I'd have her move back to SF and be a mentor/handler for Silk (Cindy Moon), Spider-Girl/Araña (Anya Corazon), and Ghost Spider (Gwen Stacy). Jess's Spiders was the working name, ala Charlie's Angels, but I'm open to any suggestions.

Lastly, damn his passing is hitting me hard. 95, without one reboot or reissue, is a damn good run though.

Mogget, as the deadpan snarker/hidden agenda villain and one of the cute talking animal sidekicks of the party, is over here pretending to hack up a hairball on Team Abhorsen.... >____>


:D

[dreamingofelectricsheep]

Totally!

[balancingminds]

Charles: X-men, nice and simple

Cassian is making faces at the idea of having a name, he and Kay aren't a squadron or like the Pathfinders. Later there's Rogue One but for now, Fulcrum is the closest to an actual team name. I feel like Kay would think of something.

Quentin: Toby's team

Sameth: Not sure who would be in it but either Royals, Abhorsens or something fairly straight forward.

This is harder than I expected.

[bjornwilde]

Oh, thank you for the reminder about Fulcrum for SWR-era Ahsoka. Now I'm wondering if Cassian, Ahsoka, and Kallus ever meet in canon.

[childofrebellion]

They should, maybe it will happen in Cassian's series or at least a reference to it. If not, its something I've thought about ficcing or writing as I feel like Cassian and Kallus would have a bumpy relationship. Also do you remember who's up in that OOM we've been chipping away at? I feel like it might be Ahsoka.

[bjornwilde]

I think it is her. I'll see if she's around.

[childofrebellion]

If not, no worries, its a weird time of year for ideas. And in honor of Stan Lee, I gave Charles a happy hour/morning tea post.

[bjornwilde]

I saw. I'm debated who is louder, Hank or Viv. Do you have a preference?

[childofrebellion]

Not really.

[cottoncandypink]

Wilford has called his entire crew by a collective name several times in canon. So, I guess their hero team are called the Idiots, or something similar.

[mnt_mike]

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
:D?!

Or...the GAang.

[inlovewithwords]

There's, uh, a running theme in my answers, apparently.

Eriond: "my family."

Lois: Her Newsroom (and later, of course, the Justice League is her hero team okay she doesn't have to be in spandex with them for it to be her team)

Evelyn: the Inquisition

R2-D2: a) family; b) the Rebellion; c) the Resistance.

Anakin: he'd totally say during the Clone Wars that it's obviously the Jedi and the Grand Army of the Republic. Really his hero-team is, well, family--not that Obi-wan will admit to that (Ahsoka might). 501st Legion if he had to pick a more limited name, and the 212th can come along too.
Vader: Heroes are annoying and he refuses. ... The 501st comes close.
Ghostkin: Snarky Tolling Force Ghost Squad

Tavi: His family, or slightly more expansively, the Cursors.

(seriously, though, everyone in my roster seems to consider their hero teams family.)

[angry_friendship_wolf]

The Digimon kids have 'the Chosen Children' (written in a really awkward mix of classical and modern Japanese so that 'children' ends up spelled the same as 'forms/shapes of the gods') as their team name, but they didn't pick it for themselves -- rather, it's the term used in the prophecy.

Since the main eight collectively abandon that name and its attached implications by the end of Tri, they're going to be in the market for a new name very soon. My personal suggestion would be 'the Happy Hungry Bunch.'


Eden's going to eventually be sort of a part of a team in the form of the Dandelions, except not since the protagonist ultimately ends up refusing that offer. Either way, a name has already been provided, and it's probably not too far off what he'd pick.

[thebattycakes]

Haha, mine are on teams in canon, so laaaa...

Cisco & Barry: Team Flash

Matt Murdock: The Defenders

Logan: Oh lord, let's see: X-men, Avengers, Weapon X, X-Force, Alpha Flight, SHIELD... sort of?, the Canadian military, Department H, I think Team X was a thing, and he was maybe in the Fantastic Four IDEK, and part of the mutant resistance in the future... just, everything. He's been on every team ever. I'm sure he's even got a roster spot on the Vancouver Canucks it just doesn't get written about.

Hellboy: The BPRD

K-2SO: Rogue One

[oldmancreed]

Creed would like to point out that Logan's too short to play hockey. :P

[configuration_birdwatcher]

Overwatch, apparently.

It helps that they didn't name it. Bastion would have picked the most straightforwardly descriptive name they could think of.

[beautiful_bullets]

Molly's got one! She's in Y Generation (look, it's not my fault, it was done by the ... colourist? I think? Who suggested her particular AU in the first place). Previously she was in the X-Men, both as a team member and teacher. First of all, of course, she was with the Runaways, but I don't think they've ever actually called themselves that as a proper team name.

War has definitely also got one. She, like the Doctor, is one of the few beings in the universe who can use the phrase 'This is a library. Look me up!' as a threat.

Martha is definitely Team TARDIS. Although I did also once write a fic where she, along with a bunch of other companions, was in the Saved-The-World Club. It was meant to be a joke, but Luke Smith liked it, and it kind of... stuck.

Raoul officially has a team - he's the Knight-Commander of the King's Own - but honestly, his team name is more like If You Want To Hurt Tortall, You're Gonna Have To Go Through Us (And You Don't Want To Have To Go Through Us).

Phil is just gonna stand here and Expressionless Secret Agent smirk at you a little bit.

McGonagall... well, it depends what you ask her and what role you ask her in. She may already have one. Order of the Phoenix? Gryffindor? Team Hogwarts? Team Smarter Than You?

Leeeeet's go with Dumbledore's Army (still recruiting!).

Snow Leopard Woman doesn't do teams. She is a solitary big cat. Ditto Sam.

Victoria doesn't do teams any more (or so she'll claim). In reality, her team can most accurately be called Team Fuck You.

Poe and BB-8's team, of course, is the Rebellion.

[oldmancreed]

Tess: The Justice League. Also, the Teen Titans counts these days,

Rose: The Birds of Prey.

Kylo: The First Order.

Creed: ....The X-Men.


Hooray for canons.

[death_gone_mad]

No fair! Most of the respondents already have teams! :p

Amascut is a notorious loner and doesn't stay in teams any longer than nescessary to accomplish some goal or other. She doesn't get along with other gods/antropomorpic representations of abstract concepts for long, though that is relative to a lifespan of several milennia. A recent in-canon Halloween event made me think that maybe she might team up with her world's representations of Famine and Pestilence against her brother, Death, and War. Heroic team names? I don't know... Team Everybody Dies vs. Team Rocks Fall?

I don't really know what kinda team Fairy Fixit would be on, but in any heroic or adventurous or combat thingamajig, she'd quickly fall into the role of sapper. So... Sapper Squad?

[sticktothemission]

Gabriel: US Army, SEP, Overwatch Strike Force/Team (guessing a little on that one), Blackwatch, Talon. He is a man of many hats. Or perhaps masks is more accurate.

Khadgar: Kirin Tor, Sons of Lothar, Sha'tar, Council of Six, Tirisgarde, Armies of Legionfall, and I'm certain I'm missing a few. Khadgar has been a member of many heroic organizations and the leader of a few more.


(Hope it's alright to answer these a few days later. I'm on night shift with little to do at the moment.)
