August 1 – The zombie apocalypse has occurred, which 3 NON-superpowered characters would you want to be in a grouped with to survive?

Batman, Hawkeye and Iron Man.

Both Batman and Iron Man have access to high tech equipment and hideouts and would be able to gear me up. Hawkeye won't miss targets.

Batman for obvious reasons

Kate Bishop cuz she's a better Hawkeyes than Hawkeye

Deathstroke for guns and whatnot

How do we define "non-superpowered"? I mean, if tech is allowed, then I'd want 3 GLs with me. If it isn't, then Iron Man doesn't have so much to offer, and even Batman loses SOME of his appeal.

Yeah, that makes a difference. I'd probably want Iron Man, War Machine, and Batman. If the suits are powers, then Batman, Green Arrow, and Nightwing.

August 1 – The zombie apocalypse has occurred, which 3 NON-superpowered characters would you want to be in a grouped with to survive?

Batman- tactician. War Machine and S.T.R.I.P.E. for firepower. Why not Iron Man? I don't need two alphas on the team. I need one alpha/leader and two soldiers that can follow orders.

Batman, Deadshot, and Hawkeye.

Bats can take care of all the planning, survivalist, and life or death decision making, while Deadshot and Hawkeye provide marksmanship and muscle.

I don't need a bunch of brainy types all arguing and trying to out big dick Batman while we get killed, so guys like Reed Richards and Lex Luthor can go pound sand. Batman covers all of the bases by himself.

No way you'd want Lex unless the other two were totally subservient to him. You could never trust Luthor not to make a power play or stab your back.

That's very true. I'd be nothing but cannon fodder to Luthor. At least Bats would be morally bound to at least try to keep my carcass from being zombie food.

August 2 – Your fantasy superhero team. Limited to 7 characters. (you can mix & match characters from DC, Marvel, etc.)


The Green Lantern Corps team that stayed on earth: Hal, Arisia, John, Katma, Kilowog, Salaak, and Ch'p.

Otherwise, my choice would be an older Justice League line-up (Supes, Bats, WW, GL, FLash, J'onn, and maybe GA).

I don't need any stinking Marvel characters.

Though I think it might be nice to have a brainy guy of SOME kind, with the idea that the best way to survive a Zombie plague, long-term, would be to cure it. Just staying alive would still kind of suck, because you'd be staying alive in a world overrun by zombies. I had actually been thinking about Luthor, simply because he seemed like he might have the resources and brains to tackle such a cure, and I could trust him to be motivated to do so if only because his ego would LOVE for him to be known as the world's savior.

August 2 – Your fantasy superhero team. Limited to 7 characters. (you can mix & match characters from DC, Marvel, etc.)

1. Batman - Because he's Batman. He would be the team leader.
2. Wolverine - Because he's the best as what he does and what he does is not very nice. I need someone on my team that's willing, when needed, to permanently end a threat.
3. Psylocke - I need a telepath on the team for interrogation, mind link for team communication when on a mission and to protect team from psyche attacks.
4. Superman - The team's muscle and speed.
5. Wonder Woman - Because she's Wonder Woman. She'll balance out Batman's and Wolverine's personalities.
6. Rogue - She can steal or borrow powers.
7. Spider-Man - Spider sense will come in handy and he'll the tech guy and comic relief on the team. Every team needs a tech guy and funny man.

August 1 – The zombie apocalypse has occurred, which 3 NON-superpowered characters would you want to be in a grouped with to survive?

The Punisher. All that ammo will come in handy. Batman because unlike Punisher, I trust him to keep me alive as long as he can. Then Black Widow because she's a good mix of both of those guys.

August 2 – Your fantasy superhero team. Limited to 7 characters. (you can mix & match characters from DC, Marvel, etc.)

Cyclops, Emma Frost, Mr. Fantastic, Green Arrow, The Flash, Batman and Wonder Woman.

I always had a thing for teams where a power isn't replicated with other members, like the FF or Doom Patrol. And each member's powers were special. How many strong guys does the League need? And do all of them fly? What if only one could? If I had to come up with my own?

Hawkman (flight)
The Atom (shrinking)
Plastic Man (stretching)
The Flash (speed)
Zatanna (magic)
She Hulk (strength)
Kittie Pryde (phasing)

Then Black Widow because she's a good mix of both of those guys.

You know you just want to put the moves on her. Not that I don't sympathize.
