C3G Factions/Groupings
Well I may not be the right person to do this. But I’m going to give it a shot.

I’m a relative comic newb, so I’m a bit out of my depth here. However, I have been thinking more and more about beginning to group the C3G (and MarvelScape) units into factions and groups. In part because some synergies are starting to really develop (like the Criminal Lords or Vigilantes), but also just so I can see better who is currently available as well as who “goes with” whom. (I like, for example, my Gotham Underworld entry in part because it gives me a quick glance at which Batman villains have been created.)

As I said above, I’m a newb. Sure, I’ve read some comics, but I don’t read them regularly (and haven’t in quite a while, really). My sense of supers is definitely shaped more by TV and film (and pop culture) than anything else. (I apologize in advance to those that I offend just by admitting that...)

Please let me know what you think.

For an excellent source of synergies by type, personality, etc., as well as a complete sortable source for all current C3G units, I highly recommend SirGalahad's C3G Index.

Re: C3G Factions/Groupings
Unlike classic scape, they'll probably be some overlap with the C3G figures.

Deadpool is right at home in your insane faction. You might as well throw Bob in the insane faction as well, since he's really reliant on Deadpool.

Sentinels should be thrown in with mutants, to harness their abilities. Nowadays they protect mutants instead of collect them, so I could see them in either X-men or Brotherhood camps, or even both.

You might also want to start a seperate criminal faction and throw Lex in there.

Re: C3G Factions/Groupings
I think Plastic Man is part of the Justice League.

And isn't Surfer sometimes a part of the Avengers? So he could probably be thrown in there.

Re: C3G Factions/Groupings
This is tough. So many figures have been affilitated with so many different teams. For instance, the Avengers have had almost every Marvel hero as a member at one time.

In my opinion, it would easier to break out all the characters by Class, Personality and Species.

Spider-man was at a point, I know. Heck, Spidey was part of the Fantastic Four! Or at least he wore a bag on his head while wearing their costume!

But I'm hoping Storm and Black Panther have synergies in the FF, once they get done, because I know they replaced Sue and Reed at a point, when I actually read the FF comics.

Re: C3G Factions/Groupings
I'd put Jonah Hex in the Law Enforcement category, since he boosts/ is a Lawmen, and it seems rather likely that future police heroes would be Lawmen, or have synergy with Lawmen, or something like that.

Surfer and Spider-Man and such have been Avengers, but Spider-Man is usually off in his own little world, and Silver Surfer is either out in space or - on Earth - generally affiliated with the Defenders, alongside Hulk, Namor, and Doctor Strange.

Solomon Grundy MIGHT fit with the Gotham Underworld, being a sometimes Bat-villain, but, I dunno, he might not. There may be room for a Legion of Doom category to throw him into... though, to be honest, I'm not really sure they'd have much synergy.

This is a great idea, and a tool I will be using for creating thematic armies. Thanks.

Re: C3G Factions/Groupings
Great comments, everyone. I'll sort through them tomorrow--can't believe I missed Jonah and Deadpool :doh:--great help, all, thanks!

I know that some of these groupings will be forced and some will be opinion, but they will help create some thematic cores. (And I will likely create some sub-categories (perhaps for Spidey in the Avengers, for example).

I'm thinking of (as the project grows) saving the top for factions (a la IAB's Heroscape project--groups with synergy) and then using the second post, that I saved, to be for "Teams" or something along those lines (since the Avengers--whoever exactly we decide fits there--don't (yet?) really have any synergy). We'll see, but I will definitely be playing with this over the months/years to come. This will definitely grow.

(Can't wait to add the FF to the lists above .)

Re: C3G Factions/Groupings
I'm probably worse at this, but I believe Poison Ivy and Bob go with Team Insano as well.

And yes, there's more love for the lawman group on the way.

Re: C3G Factions/Groupings
I'd like to see Catwoman listed in the Criminals/Crimelords faction. While she's doesn't fit into the mob/gang theme you sort of have going there, she's most often portrayed as a cat burglar. She is a criminal (at least as much as the Riddler is).

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 . . . .
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock.

Re: C3G Factions/Groupings
Lex Luthor is definitely in the Criminal Faction.
I agree with all the other stuff people are saying too, especially Jonah Hex in the lawman faction and Poison Ivy, Bob, and Deadpool in the Insane faction. Plastic Man definitely goes with the JLA as well.
For teams, I think you should just stick "Classic" before the titles and then keep Spidey and Surfer out of the Avengers and anyone other than the first four and She-Hulk out of the Fan Four, for instance.
Then, as you suggested, you could have a sub category, like "Avengers Variations" where you could put "extended family members." Heck, you could do that for the X-Men ("X-Men variations") and probably list just about all of the Brotherhood!
If you want to keep the top just synergy based, though, you should probably go with a "Mutant" army based around Professor X, and then save the X-Men/Brotherhood team split for later.
Oh, and I'd say Professor X, Jean Grey, and Martian Manhunter make for at least a Telepath Faction Bud, with more help coming eventually!

P.S. I'm adding this to the Public Directory!
C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.
