newnumber6Well, the last meme seems to be closed off to all newcomers. So I'll provide a new meme, stolen from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bachicka!
My challenge to you is: Assemble a superteam from your various fandoms.
Your team must consist of the following:
(1) Team Leader (could be anyone, but must have good leadership skills!)
(1) Warrior (examples: Ronon, Faith, Hercules)
(1) Smartypants (examples: House, Giles, Hermione)
(1) Hottie (examples: Brian Kinney, John Sheppard, Amanda)
(1) Comic Relief (examples: Frannie Vecchio, Wash, Xander)
All your superteam members must be from DIFFERENT fandoms. I will count SG1/SGA and Buffy/Angel as different fandoms, as well as Marvel and DC, but I'm not going to split Marvel and DC into all *their* different fandoms; this meme would be way too easy if you could just fill all the slots with different superpowered people.
Whether your team has a 'theme' (all girls! all Brits! etc.) and their scope-- whether they fight vampires, serial killers, invading aliens or work to prevent littering-- is up to you.
I'd say Buffy/Angel count as different fandoms but if you use someone who was a _regular_ on either, he or she counts for BOTH. So if you use Spike (or Cordelia, or Angel) you can't use anyone else. Similarly for other cross fandoms. But that's just my rule.
Here's my team:
Leader: Malcolm Reynolds, Firefly. He's a pretty damn good leader to me.
Warrior: Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I thought of Faith, but Buffy was the title character and so she is by default the superior warrior and would win a Faith/Buffy showdown (unless Faith gets her own series, in which case she would at least temporarily become the undefeatable one). Plus Buffy brings in more chance for guest appearances from the wider Whedonverse.
Smarty-Pants: Samantha Carter, Stargate SG-1. Cause she blew up a sun, once! And, most importantly, she remembers technology and science from previous episodes, and uses the information where appropriate!
Hottie: Veronica Mars. Although not just because she's a hottie, because it allows two smarty-pants on the team.
Comic Relief: Hmmm.. I dunno. I'm going to go with Chase Stein from Runaways (Marvel comics), because he's funny and occasionally not too bright, but he's street smart to an extent and could provide a good dynamic (and hey, Chase/Veronica could be a cracky crossover OTP). Plus, any chance to plug Runaways and use his icon is fun. Also because I couldn't think of any other comic relief characters I really wanted to add to a team that wasn't from a fandom I already used for something else. And hey, this means with the exception of SG1 (of which I don't know his feelings), that means everyone on my list is from a Whedon fandom or a fandom Whedon's professed love for! :)
They travel the world (and into Space) fighting off zombies, vampires, evil supervillains, and hostile aliens, and, hell, Cthulhuesque monsters beyond space and time. Because Chase vs. Cthulhu would be awesome.
Now do your own, either in your own LJ or just comment.
Also, in sad news... looks like Stargate SG1 is being cancelled, unless the creators can find another home for it. Atlantis will be renewed for another year, but that's kinda like... well, cancelling the show I think is better and renewing the one that's okay but not as good. In fact it's exactly like that. Okay, I'm hot right now and not so good on similies.
