C3G Factions/Groupings

[IAmBatman]

Btw, wikipedia is great for reference for threads like this ... I'm sure they have one of these for Marvel too.

I agree that a Telepath army needs to be added as there is already another Telepath in the works for release and there are more still to be done.

All right, I think I have made all the changes suggested above. For now I'm keeping things open (just using parentheses to mark units that are not always/classically associated with certain groups).

There are certainly other possible groupings. Let me know what else you'd like to see. I'll try to keep this up to date and useful.

When the first post gets too long (as I expect it will), I move things to the second post. (As I said above, I expect to have the first post be true factions, i.e. with in-game synergy, and the second post to be teams/associations, etc. that are more thematic than part of the game as you play.)

Thank you, so much, to everyone that jumped in and helped. I think we are building something really useful here. Much appreciated.

I've added Factions and Buds into the OP, marked in distinct colors and font styles, with relevant powers and types marked in the lists. Also did spoilers throughout. Enjoy!

Since you have Valiants, would it hurt to put in Disciplined? The Sacred Band aren't nearly as big as the 4th Mass, but, personally, I prefer them.

That list is Colossus and... huh. I'm pretty sure it's just Colossus. Nevermind the Disciplined, then.

...

You guys gotta work on that, though.

Great!

Plastic Man shouldn´t be in parentheses in the JLA group. He´s a proper member.

Yeah, I played with that--then realized the same thing you did.

I may add Relentless (there are quite a few), but I'm honestly hoping someone else does a cool computer program/spreadsheet or something for things like that. The Valiant entry may disappear, but since I often to add 4th Mass into my games (mostly for Cap, but others as well), I added it on.

@DW1970: I didn't see him on any of the official/core lists that I looked at online (just a couple), and my own experience (deeply limited, I'll admit) is that he is a fringe member. Anyhow, if you really think he belongs there as a full member, I'll happily take off the parentheses. Let me know.

Again, thanks to everyone helping on this. I think it's shaping up as a real resource. Much appreciated!

I aslo agree with the posts about moving Deadpool*, Bob, and Poison Ivy up with the rest of the crazies.

*Though is Deadpool really crazy? It was my understanding he was just aware that he's a character in a comic book . . . .

For now she isn't part of the Criminal faction, but if I find the right crimelord, master mind, or criminal to pull in Thieves, I will remedy her current lack of membership.

I guess it comes down to personal judgment and taste, who´s proper JLA´ers or not, but in my oppinion, anyone who´s been on the team for a long time in any ongoing series, deserves to be on the list. And Plastic Man was part of the team in the Grant Morrison revival from the mid 90´s...

...I've got it, if only I could get my design pass...

(Okay, I promise I'll stop whining now... )

Yep - I was thinking of exactly this!
