    You just got your first comic job...

    ... and they want you to write about a team of heroes. They only ask that you do not use the Big Guns of their respective comics world (so no Bats, Superman, WW, Wolverine, Spider Man, Captain America, Hulk). They would like to revive some of their stable of characters that doesn't always get the face time that most see, but you are also allowed to throw in a few of the better known types to offset this, if you need to.

    They need seven heroes on the roster. Who do you choose?

    Hrmmm. I'd create an all female team most likely consisting of the following to get a real mix of the Marvel Universe in one group:
    - Firestar
    - Hollow
    - Crystal
    - Hellcat
    - Karolina (from Runaways)
    - Pixie
    and Mary Jane as their leader and tech person back at H.Q. (A girl can dream!)
