Who am I?
Where am I?
What's happening?
I'm at a lacuna.
A lacuna of non-commitalness created by the wait for the return of the greatest feature the internet has ever seen.
The one in which the first person to post in the comments section below gets to decide the topic du jour.
But what shall that topic be?
I cannot say.
Only you can.
Therefore, feel free to post it and get this site swinging into a level of action never before surpassed in human history.

Charlie's topic, a few weeks ago, gave me an idea.
Create a 2nd string superheroes team!
( A strong character, a female character, a flier - & a hot-head - characterize many teams.)
Then, create a villains team, too.
Here's mine:
1.) Thundra ( that covers strong - and female - and I've only just started! )
2.) The Stingray - a fantastically costumed character, never fully utilized.
3.) Drax the Destroyer ( potential to be difficult to control, if not a hot-
head, per-se) - Drax back in his original form again, to erase all the
1990s silliness about him being a Hulk-like numb skull.
4.) The original Captain Britain - see above (apart from the Hulk-like
phrase.)
5.) The Wraith - I want at least one of Bill Mantlo's 2nd string characters (e.g.
Jack of Hearts, White Tiger, Wraith, etc) in my team. If I have Jack of
Hearts, as well as Stingray, it looks like I'm collecting Len Wein & Sal
Hulk opponents, so I'll have the Wraith! Besides, a mind-reading
character's extra info adds interest, for the reader ( kind of Phoenix-type
"You didn't feel that girl's pure terror, Scott - I did! ) Destiny's functions
similarly, in the Brother/Sisterhood of Evil Mutants.
Villain 2nd string team:
1.) Slaymaster 2.) Constrictor 3.) Warhawk 4.) The Griffin (strength & flight) 5.) Madam Masque? 6.) Megaman
This is still at a speculative stage...Villains teams are led by women more often than hero teams ( the Champs being an exception ) - e.g. the Viper, Mystique, etc - so maybe Whitney Frost could lead the gang!

Destiny - not "Destiny's" ( proof-reading errors! )
Phillip
Oh - and because Jean DeWolff appears in Captain Britain & Spidey Team-up ( # 65 ) - this could create a link between Captain Britain & the Wraith, through his sister. Being almost halfway between the Wraith's two appearances ( # 58 & # 72? ), what exactly Jean was doing, I can't remember. Maybe, as a female character, she had - shock, horror - an independent storyline of her own, on the boil!
Phillip
Who would comprise your 2nd string superhero & villain teams?

If this topic doesn't work, please somebody suggest another - I don't mind!

Thanks for the topic, Phillip.
Time constraints mean I won't be able to come up with a list tonight but I shall come up with one as soon as I can, tomorrow.
