I love this thread and the ideas posted, so here's a more forum appropriate team. Blame this on Soviet Phalla.
The Iron Curtain
The Iron Curtain represents the interests of the Soviet Union on a global scale, which has risen to a global superpower due in no small part of it's superhero population. The Iron Curtain is the premier super group, though there are several smaller groups active.
Red Son Superman
Superman landed in the Soviet Union, as depicted in the graphic novel Red Son. Joined by several other super heroes with the Party's interest in mind, he is the field leader of the team. His near godlike powers and genius intelligence make him the symbol of the Soviet Union.
Colossus
Piotr Rasputin never learned of Charles Xavier's dream. Instead, he was drafted into the Red Army. He rose through the ranks quickly, partially thanks to his mutant gene, and was invited (drafted) to The Iron Curtain upon it's creation. His mutant powers allow him to turn his body into organic steel.
Black Widow
Natasha Romanova is a former KGB agent who now serves on The Iron Curtain. Dangerous as she is beautiful, she has been instrumental in many of the team's victories. She has the latest in cybernetic enhancements and is a lethal assassin. Unbeknownst to the rest of the team, she is there to remove them if they go rogue.
Perun
Real name unknown, Perun was once just another cog in the communist machine. Part of the Red Army, he distinguished himself enough to be chosen to become the test subject of Project: Perun. Given a highly advanced force belt, and channeling his power through a hammer and sickle, Perun was granted powers on par with Thor.
Red Star
Leonid Konstantinovitch Kovar is part of a new generation of Soviets. Alien energies empowered him in his teens, granting him superhuman strength, speed, and endurance. He is also able to transform himself into raw energy, which allows him to form and redirect energy. He is the young star of the team.
Captain Anatoly Fyodorovich Krimov
The commander of The Iron Curtain. While Superman leads the team on the field, Krimov coordinates missions and ensures all goes smoothly with government and public relations. He's a crackshot with a pistol, and loves cigars. He was once known as Red Star, before Kovar took that name.

I knew I'd get flack for not including Skies of Arcadia for my previous team..but I unfortunately never played it. :P
Hank Pym presents Hank Pym and the Hank Pym Experience (Featuring Hank Pym)
Hank Pym AKA Yellowjacket
Eager to start his own super-team (Hey, Tony and Reed and That fucker Cap already have them, and hank is so much better and smarter and cooler) Hank gathers a group of like minded individuals. The problem is, like minded individuals for Hank Pym means "huge dicks."
Wonder Man(Simon Williams)
If ever there was someone to serve in Hank Pym's superteam, it was Simon Williams. Wonder Man serves as the team's face, appearing in public to cover up the obvious dick moves of his coworkers. He does not convince people to not view the team as dicks.
Hal Jordan
Every team has a Green Lantern, and no GL properly captures the vibe of HPpHPatHPE(fHP) like Hal Jordan. He and his "Hal Jordan special" provide the team with the proper muscle.
Namor
Prince of Atlantis, Hero of World War II, Lover of Sue Storm, and oh yeah, huge asshole, Namor provides atlantis as a hideout for the Team, who are no doubt wanted dead by everyone.
Hawkman
Bare-chested, angry, conservative, and loud, Hawkman serves as the Flyer of the team.
Namor can fly and Simon can jump really high and really far so hawkman isn't the only "flier" technically.
*Removes his "rules lawyer" butt plug*
Other than that it's a cool team! You should add the Irredemable Ant Man!
I thought of him after I posted. Also good point on Hawkman, but Hawkman's a dick, so he's still on the team.
Yes, Eric O'Grady does indeed fit on the team. Also, Who better to serve as coordinator for a group of government friendly heroes than the former head of one of the largest paramilitary organizations on earth? Someone with power, resources, and skill to make the team unstoppable? That's right, director of SHIELD, super secret agent, and powerful sex symbol...

All right, resurecting this thread to post my X-Men team who would be sure to get Uncanny or Astonishing cancelled since only I would buy it.
Co-Team Leader: Beast (Hank McCoy)
Yeah thats right boys and girls. Back to his pre-cat look and finally getting his shot in the driver's seat. The big blue furball has been my favorite X-Man since I was a kid and he rarely gets the spotlight, so I'm fixin that!
Co-Team Leader: Shadowcat (Kitty Pride)
This one's much more likely to happen, anyone reading Astonishing knows she is ready.
Colossus (Piotr Rasputin)
He and Kitty are a package deal, plus the team needs a tank.
Husk (Paige Guthrie)
Token C-lister coming into her own. Always loved her powers. And this would be a chance to wash out the taste of her abuse at the hands of Chuck Austen.
Elixir (Josh Foley)
My fave of the new new mutants. His abrasive personality is an interesting juxtaposition to his powers as a healer. He would totally hit on Paige constantly too since he digs older women.
Cannonball (Sam Guthrie)
Team needs a flier, plus him and Paige together makes for an interesting sub-dynamic in the team.
Sunspot (Roberto da Costa)
No reason other than I like him.

Putting all our eggs in one super basket.
Superman
Hyperion
Apollo
Sentry
Invincible and Omni Man
Miracleman

Captain Marvel. Also, the team should be renamed "Team Deus Ex Machina".
EDIT: Fine, images are gone. In my defense, I posted that quickly before I left work.

One word to describe this: FUCKBLAMMO!

Maria Hill.
It lead to the best scene ever where Spidey was all like "Screw this, I'm going home, I have a hot wife and I don't need to be here."
And Danny said "Does he really have a hot wife? I thought he was gay."
Luke: "Dude, you wear booties."
Danny: "They were a gift!"
Luke: "Yeah, from a guy."
Daredevil wasn't saying much, but he kicked ass all issue so it was ok.
I tried to think of a Young Masters of Evil, but all I got was Noh-Varr and a brand new Paste Pot Pete who spends his off time huffing his adhesives.
ROFLZ :lol
Dude! What issue is that!?! I must know!1

If you wanted to get into the 30th century material, you could add Mon-el/Valor and Andromeda/Laurel Gand as well.
