You might want to give some kind of indication of what it's a team for, that seems like it might influence people's choice.

I made this one last thread.

Tywin Lannister
Klaus Wulfenbach
Havelock Vetinari

is the core team. If I have to add more, it is getting complicated. I was thinking about Lelouch or Light Yagami, but they are both just a bit unstable.

Edit: Ender's game was mentioned. Ender Wiggins could be a nice addition, as their military commander.

Dr. Manhattan is powerful, but he isn't the most powerful being in fiction. Heck, no one else in Watchmen is superhuman so we can't say how he'd even do against other supers.

And I do, Surrealistik. Just like others have really liked Doctor Who and Suikoden V.

Can he time travel?

He exists on all points in space and time so technically he's time traveling all the time.

Can he bring back the dead?

He has complete control over over atomic and subatomic particles so I imagine yes. He probably could if he were so inclined to do do so.

Can he control the minds of others?

As above, he's got complete control over atomic and subatomic particles. So in a manner of speaking, ya he probably could. He can also see the future to some degree outside of himself so...he could probably mind control in another manner of speaking merely acting around what he knows others are going to do.

I'm trying to stay away from D&D characters, FF characters, superheroes, and overt magic-users. Most of these people can switch roles if needed. Assistants are listed, if available.

Leader
George Washington
-Thomas Jefferson

Strategists/sub-leaders
Captain Kirk
-Spock
Pham Nuwen
-Anne Reynolt
Leonidas
-a dozen of his best men
Gandalf

Intel and Scouting
James Bond - Daniel Craig
-Q
Sherlock Holmes - Robert Downey Jr.
-Watson
Solid Snake
-Otacon
Daniel Ocean
-Rusty Ryan
Navi
-Snivel
Nausicaa
-Master Yupa
(I've never played Assassins Creed, but let's go ahead and add Connor)
Rikimaru
-Ayame

Main Attack Team
Conan of Cimmeria (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conan_(Dark_Horse_Comics))
The Punisher
Gordon Freeman
Sonic Yeti (http://scottpilgrim.wikia.com/wiki/Yeti)
-(he's big, but not necessarily supernatural)
The Vault Dweller
-lockpicking, speech, small guns, good reputation + power armor/x2 gauss pistols, dogmeat
-him/her or Gordon get Cortana added to their suit
Link
-Navi

Sniper
Simo Hayha

I considered Iron Man, Hulk, Wolverine, Drizzt, and Elminster, but my rules at the top cut them out. I figured Turok and Legolas were redundant at this point (not that half of my team isn't, but eh). So, there is my 100% self-indulgent team of badassness that still isn't "superheroic" or Tier 1 D&D characters.

I think this really needs a goal to really work.

I agree, making a team is fine and all, but to really make the absolute best team, we need to know a mission that the team would go on.

For example: the team I'd send to go into an ancient dungeon to rescue a kidnapped King would be very different from the team to sneak into the BBEG's lair and steal his artefact of power.

Or perhaps the point is to make a team best-suited for an unknown objective?

Here's my team:

Second-in-command: Wesley Crusher
Staff Wizard: Orco from He-Man
Transportation Officer: Jek Porkins
Intelligence Officer: Sansa Stark
Public Relations Officer: The Hulk
Supply Officer: Milo Minderbender from Catch-22--I think this is my most inspired choice :smallamused:
Grunts: Batman, Robin, and Batgirl from Batman & Robin (George Clooney, Chris O'Donnell, and Alicia Silverstone versions); The Wondertwins from the Justice League cartoons; Aquaman; Admiral Ackbar (just so he can say "It's a trap"); U.S. Agent (a.k.a. poor man's Captain America); Morph from the X-Men cartoon; Gilderoy Lockhart from Harry Potter

I have to say that my team is, by far, the greatest collection of heroes (I use that term lightly) ever! :smallbiggrin:

Mage on Staff: Doctor Doom, along with a hotline to Yuuko Ichihara

Medical Staff: Doctor McNinja, The RED Medic, Orihime Inoue, Dr. Sun Jen-djieh, along with a fully functional (and automated) medical area run by Jane

Special Agents: Gordon Freeman, Batman, Samus Aran, The Doctor. (These people exist outside of the rank structure and report directly to the Team Leader, and generally do their own thing. Also, we stay away from planets Samus lands on)

Public Relations: with a team like this, we really don't need them. In any case, someone who is well-versed in playing multiple sides to the greatest benefit to ours. Probably Tyrian Lannister.

The leaders are very effective as well. Col Klink has a reputation as never having anyone escape his camp. Capt Brannigan has all of those medals and things named after him. Dr. Quinn knows pretty much everything (and is probably the only intelligent character that could handle being around all of the others). Burt Gummer organized and beat some precambrian monsters (not to mention his work in the series). Korgoth can totally wreck everything.

The team might be bumbling and they might not be the most competent, but they could probably get the job done (whatever that job may be).

The Librarian [Discworld]
this team gets in, assasinates, gets out. Moist here isn't an assassin, but he is very proficient in conning, helping the other 2 assassins to enter easily. Moist can also create fronts for the assassins to get their stuff and have a base of operations. while not known for subtelty, sometimes all you need is a nuke. but htis nuke has advantages no other nuke has: mobile (1 person and on top of that he can make use of the portals of the Never Never. Very good for a quick in/out strike. Locke is thtere to supplement Moist's need for an ally to carry out cons. Dream jsut becuase when things go wron you want him. also for those hard to reach places (everybody dreams)[I]

Medics and logistics:
Zhe Medic [Team Fortress 2]
Unohana [Bleach]
Engineer [Team Fortress 2]
Pain [Naruto]
[I]3 medics (or medic related people) for the medical assistance, the engineer becuase of his ability to create teleportation pads and his dispenser. This just creates a logitical advantage like none other

Foot Soldiers:
Natsu Dragneel [Fairy Tail]
Erza [Fairy Tail]
Ichogo Kurosaki [Bleach]
Uzumaki Naruto [Naruto Shippuuden]
Wolverine/Logan [X-men]
Alucard [Hellsing Ultimate]

any shonen determinator. Mythical heroes and all good guys.

Because you need ranged backup to footsoldiers:
Rip van Winkle [Hellsing Ultimate]
Seras Victoria [Hellsing Ultimate]
Sherrif Caitlyn [League of Legends]
Reborn [Katekyo Hitman Reborn]
Hawkeye [Avengers]
Mordecai [Borderlands]

Tools/toolmakers:
Leo Valdez [Percy Jackson books]
Brokk and Eitri [Poetic and Prosaic Edda]
Annabeth Chase [Again, Percy Jackson books]
Urahara [Bleach]
Tony Stark [Iron Man comics]

I need crafters, I need people intelligent and inventive. With these I have all my bases covered: mythological mechanics (leo and annabeth, leo crafts, Annabeth designs), Brokk and Eitri (dwarven smiths who can make antything mundane, magical, mythical), Urahara and Tony stark for just wicked and wild inventions (often electrical or something).

Psions:
Proffessor X/Xavier [X-men]
Phoenix/Jean Grey [X-men]
Neo [Matrix]
Trinity [Matrix]
Morpheous [Matrix]
Since I have enough magics and tech, but not enough psionics it might be kood to get some telepths and kineticists here. I use the 'real world' as a place where their hacking/psionics work (i.e. telekineses).

Whatever you bring (except deities, but that is lame anyway) i can sort of match it. i have my long range, melee, psionics, magics, medics, logistics, planning and command and information/behind enemy lines teams. I'd better start dominating hte world with this army :smallbiggrin:

Team Deadpool harasses you with impunity from the other side of the fourth wall, then bullies the writer into taking away all of your god powers with a Macguffin.:smallsmile:

Note on batman: Posting batman here is like advocating the use of a wizard in a situation meant for a fighter.

Off topic:

Someone appears to have hacked my rollplaying character. Fortunately I keep several backups. I suppose I'll have to be more careful when I post though.

See?
Reconstruction (Su)

If Rathe would die, his soul remains and is conscious (he can see normally out to a distance of 30 feet, retains all abilities, and may even manifest psionic powers), and any time thereafter he can grow a new body at a location of his choice (his soul travels to the location instantly) or he may choose to repair the damage to his body and re-inhabit it (if he chooses to do this, his hit points are set to -1 (his nonlethal damage is set to 0) and he heals damage according to the healing rate described later in this ability (as long as there is any remaining portion of his body
larger than a 1 centimeter cube he can do this)). The constituent parts of the body are created from ectoplasm or any
non-living matter in the area (his choice), then molded and transformed into an exact duplicate of his body that is
in perfect condition (no effects that would cause him to die against his will carry over) and he may choose its
physical age (up to the maximum age he ever attained). Rathe may choose to create his body from nothing, but this
takes an additional round in which he must create the components of his body. This process takes 2 rounds (1 round to
create the parts and 1 round to mold the body). When the second round ends, Rathe completely and totally inhabits the
new body. Rathe then possess all the abilities he possessed when he died, but he has none of his equipment. If the
body is destroyed before Rathe can inhabit it or while he is inhabiting it, then the process starts again. Rathe
cannot die of natural causes or old age. Rathe may choose his age at any point in time (he can grow older or younger
to a certain age as a standard action) as well as choose to keep it from changing. Rathe is immune to effects that
would destroy, alter, or remove his soul against his will as well as charms, compulsions, fear, and age altering
effects. Beneficial effects affecting Rathe cannot be removed, ended, or suppressed before their duration elapses
unless Rathe allows it (this protection extends to Rathe's abilities (such as his fear aura) as well). Rathe does not
need to eat food or drink water to survive although he may eat or drink if he chooses to. If Rathe would become
sickened or nauseated he recovers instantaneously from these conditions. Rathe is immune to nonlethal damage and
critical hits. Rathe cannot gain negative levels or suffer level loss. Rathe immediately recovers from all types of
ability damage and drain (including ability burn). Rathe's non-ability stats cannot be reduced by any means (such as
his maximum HP being decreased by the blazefire of a lavawight). Rathe recovers instantly from blindness, deafness,
and all other physical or mental afflictions. Rathe can share the healing functions (such as accelerated healing,
limb regeneration, ability decrease removal, etc... (using his hit point total)) with another living creature as long
as he is within 60 feet of it (though both Rathe and the creature must be willing). Rathe can opt to not feel pain
which negates the need for him to make concentration checks to continue an action if he takes damage (such as when
manifesting a power) and makes him immune to certain effects (such as the penalties inflicted by a symbol of pain).
At any point in time, if duplicate parts of his body exist (blood, limbs, organs, anything), he may will them to
disintegrate and leave no trace of their existence. Rathe has knowledge of the existence of all duplicates of his
body parts regardless of location. Rathe may also choose to disintegrate portions of himself or his entire body as a
free action, however he takes 5d6 damage for disintegrating a portion of himself that is currently attached to him
and dies if he would naturally die from loss of enough portions (disintegrating his entire body causes him to die
instantly (this ability can only be triggered by his will and cannot be used against it)). Rathe may also
disintegrate byproducts of his body such as sweat or oils without taking damage. If foreign objects would enter
Rathe's body, he may disintegrate them at will (if they are attended or intelligent they are entitled to a will save
DC 10 + 1/2 Rathe's HD + Rathe's Con modifier). If Rathe would ever become incapable of manifesting powers (except
while he is willingly asleep for up to 24 hours or more if he specifies it before going to sleep and then no longer
than that amount) or mindless, he may choose to trigger a special version of this ability which causes his current
body to disintegrate as though it were a duplicate and the process of growing a new body to ensue (after the process
is completed, the effects that caused him to trigger the ability are permanently removed and Rathe is restored to the
state prior to being affected (if Rathe becomes mindless or otherwise incapable of choosing, the ability triggers
automatically and the effects removal as well as the restoration of status occur immediately after his consciousness
leaves his body)). Whenever Rathe's HP total is decreased below it's maximum by any means, it instantly returns to
his maximum (unless such damage would be sufficient to kill him outright). Whenever Rathe takes damage he may choose
to either gain an equivalent amount of XP or permanently increase one of his ability scores by one point. Whenever
Rathe's power points decrease by any means they instantly return to maximum. If Rathe loses a limb or body part, the
lost portion regrows when the damage dealt that caused the limb to be lost is healed (either by this ability or any
other healing) or 2 rounds (whichever takes less time). Rathe can reattach the severed member instantly by holding it
to the stump. This ability, the protection it grants, and the healing it provides to Rathe cannot be negated,
bypassed, removed, or suppressed by any means.
That wasn't so bad.

Back in business :D.
