Okay, so the idea of a Verse hero team along the lines of the JLA or the Avengers has been kicked around a few times. I have some ideas for finally getting that going, if anybody else is interested. For one thing, this little half-Jotun asshole is already amassing henchmen and making power plays. He's being a lot more plebeian about world domination than his movieverse self, but, well, he has a genuinely well-intentioned human girlfriend whose beliefs that he should take over the world are motivated by the feeling that humanity could use a benevolent omnipotent ruler uprooting the whole social structure. So there's a lovely soupcon of moral ambuguity for you. In any case, in his moral guise, he's basically canvassing for support from America's wealthiest and brightest, and his brother doesn't realize where this is going.
Unless someone makes Nick Fury (which would be awesome, tbh), though, we won't exactly have the government backing the actual Avengers team has. (Also, not all of,our heroes are Marvel.) I've been thinking of possibly having Veidt fund a team as an emergency reaction after Loki's ascension- yeah, he thinks super-teams are pretty uselessly bullshit in most cases now, but I can see him seeing this as a great political statement on human unity against great odds. Against a god, humans- even superheroes- are the underdogs.
Thoughts?

"Hello mortals. Look at your god, then back to me. Now back to your god, now back to me. Sadly, he isn't me, but if he were ENDING ALL THAT IS UNBEARABLE ABOUT LIFE ON YOUR MISERABLE LITTLE MUDBALL, he could at least act like he's me. Look down. Back up. Where are you? You're in one of the efficient, poverty-free new regional capitals with the god your god could act like. What's in your hand? I have it. It's a basket, with enough food to feed a starving family for a week. Look again- THE FOOD IS NOW A DETAILED PLAN FOR SUSTAINABLE REPURPOSING OF LIVING SPACES. Anything is possible when your god actually answers you instead of letting his supposedly beloved only son die in agon- pardon me. I got a bit... distracted. I'm on a horse."

DISCUSS.
I'm down for this, obviously, as are both my super men as well as my X-Men who are looking for many many things to do.
I'm a super hero kind of girl.
Veidt's and interesting choice for the matter, I'm not against it at all, we all know how much I love the man. But let's keep our options open here, all of our heroes have some type of history of putting these things together.

I'd be totally fine with it not being Veidt. I basically put him down as an option in my head in case nobody else actually wanted to be part of this plot and it came down to Teja and me doing this on our own. So I'm cool with it either way.
(also Dan and Megan as Avengers types awww yiss)

Also, I was wondering, are you still in contact with Yager? I was thinking about making Wolverine, but I'm not sure if Yager was still using him. Obviously I'm cornering the market on the popular X-Men, by the time I'm done all that's going to be left is Colossus and Ice Man.
Like I said, I am so not against it being Veidt, but he's such an obvious choice. It might be interesting to pull someone out of the blue that could fund it, that possibly turns out to be evil or something. Not really thinking this through, will most likely settle on Veidt in head, which will ruin thoughts.

I sincerely hope so. I love those two, and I too always see him with her by his side drinking milkshakes and wearing expensive coats.

At some point (I'm not really at a good point to start new threads right now, but soon) we should do a "where-they-are-now" thread just to establish that.

That's not up to me, it will be Sarah's decision if she wants part of this plot. I myself, being that I have an amazing evil alter ego, that may or may not be coming back for cameo in many super plots, am down to throw in my sue self, who will be heading to many places for a short time with Indiana Jones and Ezio.
Aheh.
