guess the theme

[teesaw]

Another closely related team would be:

Captain America
Heroes for Hire
Human Torch
Falcon

...Spiderman could really be on either team...

[breadmaster]

was thinking maybe civil war sides, but a few are wrong I think.  another hint?

[teesaw]

Which ones are wrong?

I think they're all anti-reg heroes.

[breadmaster]

is the answer civil war sides?  I never read it, but I knew cap and IM were on opposing sides, so I looked it up

according to this link: https://marvel.com/universe/Civil_War

falcon was on the pro-reg side.  is the site wrong?

[teesaw]

I'm really not sure.

I remember Cap and Falcon working together during CW - the site talks about them going on a rescue op early on, but doesnt talk about falcon any further in the story.  maybe he defected? 

I'm really not sure.

[breadmaster]

yes sir, that is it exactly!

[breadmaster]

new one

dr doom
spider-man
doomsday
superboy

2 points over sum deck though

[breadmaster]

you know, I just realized that technically, it's scarlet spider, and not  spider-man in this theme

I guess that can be the first hint

[breadmaster]

i'll add a new team, that has the exact same theme as another hint

flash
ghost rider
batman
wolverine

[ldorn]

dr doom
spider-man
doomsday
superboy

Amalgam: Dr. Doomsday and Spider-Boy

flash
ghost rider
batman
wolverine

Amalgam: Speed Demon and Dark Claw

Here's one for you:

Brainiac (20)
Lex Luthor (18)
Riddler (18)
?

Allies

Cheetah (unplayable at this time)
Gorilla Grodd
Scarecrow

[breadmaster]

bang on with the amalgam characters

would a black manta homemade with 8 fighting satisfy your theme?

[ldorn]

Yeah or Rouges (Captain Cold only) from the not published DC3. But they probably don't have Fighting 8.

[breadmaster]

here's a new one

callisto
martian manhunter
mercury
sunfire
