Day 14: X-Factor

The X-Men's answer to the AvengE.R.S. — a rapid-response team for mutant-related crises. Whether it's a newly emerged mutant whose powers are running amok or a government black site holding mutants against their will, X-Factor will be first on the scene!

Dismantle the whole carceral state. Police don't actually accomplish their purported goal of protecting communities. And removing perpetrators from society does little to address the harm they've done.
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Day 13: Illuminati

This actually started as an Avengers concept, but when I saw Illuminati on the list, I thought it worked even better. Representative of Earth's different peoples deciding the fate of the world they all share together.

Day 12: Defenders

There aren't really enough truly solo heroes these days to really fuflill the concept of the "anti-team" that defines the Defenders in my eyes. But with some classic Defenders alumni, some underused gems, and Spidey as a trump card, I think I managed.

This is mind-blowing and kind of horrifying

Day 11: Masters of Evil

While I love his overwhelming force approach from Under Seige, this time Zemo takes a cue from daddy and forms a team who each have grudges against or act as counters to one or more of my Avengers roster from Day 2

Day 10: Hellfire Club's Inner Circle

I've always loved the chess symbolism, so I went with full black & white courts (& no red). I'm thinking a sort of clandestine X-Corp, wielding wealth and influence behind the scenes to further mutant interests in a post-Krakoa world

I booked my tire change appointment for today three weeks ago, but of course we got the first snowfall of the year yesterday. They are completely swamped, but they were at least nice enough to call me an Uber home and another one to bring me back when they're done to spare me a 3+ hour wait.

Different country, but an important reminder for us here too
A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.

Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesn’t pass the government doesn’t shut down?

Federal workers aren’t furloughed.

Funding for social services doesn’t dry up.

Failure to pass a budget triggers an election.

It puts the politicians jobs on the line.

They get the budget passed.

Mamdani is going to impose Shallya law, which means universal health care by way of magical healing
Mamdani is going to impose shangri-la law. Everyone will be blindfolded and forced to play Marco Polo
Mamdani gonna implement Shaaloani law. All disputes settled via shootout duels using non-lethal rounds with all the authenticity of a spaghetti western directed by Japanese anime enthusiasts.

(This is a timely Final Fantasy XIV reference)

Day 9: Fantastic Four
Mister Fantastic
Invisible Woman
Human Torch
Thing

I know it's basic, but there's sincerely no one I'd rather see on the team than these characters and nowhere else I'd rather see them. They're right where they're supposed to be.

Prodigy
Hellion
Armor
Elixir
Scout
Dust
Eye Boy
Blindfold

I loved Trevor and the escalation of his powers in X-Factor. And I know Josh has more important things to do than kick around on a New Mutants team, but I just think he's neat!

Day 6: New Warriors
Spider-Man (Miles)
Nova (Sam)
Sister Grimm
Amadeus Cho
Speed
Water Snake

I feel like most of the OG team has aged out of the concept, so (bar Namora) I tried to rebuild it from the ground up with sidekicks, legacies, and members of defunct junior teams
#NuffSaidNovemberChallenge
Day 5: West Coast Avengers
Wonder Man
Tigra
War Machine
Firebird
Lightning
Aquarian

I feel like a new team of Wackos is a great opportunity to showcase some underused Avengers allies and reservists

I've always wanted to see Vance on the team, given that his alternate future self is part of the OG 31st century crew.

She-Hulk
Deadpool
Squirrel Girl
Sentry
Doop

I see them being drafted to undo reality warps and extradimensional incursions because their varying degrees of fourth-wall breaking, meta awareness, and memetic power makes them especially resistant to them.

A good lesson even for those of us outside the US to learn
Trans rights is a winning platform. Pro immigration is a winning platform. Taxing the rich is a winning platform. Affordable housing is a winning platform. Free childcare is a winning platform. Hating Andrew Cuomo is a winning platform. SOCIALISM IS A WINNING PLATFORM

Tried to get a mix of characters I think of as iconically X-Men with some I've always wanted to see on the main team. Obviously, some favourites have to be held in reserve for the rest of the month.

I've decided to host a challange for november, so here's the #NuffSaidNovemberChallange. Each day has a different team, and all you have to do is to make a roster with characters you think would be a good fit, however a character can only be used once #Marvel #Comicbooksky #Comicsky #Comicbooks
