Hypothetical thought game time: seven member, all female Justice League: go

Hmmm…so many wonderful choices.  It needs to be a good mix of personalities and power.

and of course:

So that’s my team:  Wonder Woman as team leader, Stargirl, Grace, Starfire, Skyrocket, Terra, and Dove.  I wanted some diversity of experiences, perspectives, ethnicities, sexualities, and fighting styles on the team.  I also wanted some overlap between some of the characters so they could bond. Hence having young characters like Terra and Stargirl on the team (I also wanted some youthful characters to be able to learn from the more experienced heroes, and to see differing views on being heroes), or warriors like Wonder Woman and Starfire.  From a personality perspective, there could be potential for a clash between the nonviolent Dove, and the scrapper Grace, or even Starfire.  With Grace on the team, you have one out  LGBT character (and I don’t care what anyone says, Diana is open enough to be questioning or bisexual).  Skyrocket’s military background nicely pairs with Wonder Woman’s warrior training (though obviously in different ways), perhaps to the extent of them being co-leaders. Like Grace, Skyrocket brings ethnic diversity (and yes, I want that on a team).  As for powers, there’s the physical heavy hitters like Wonder Woman, Grace and Starfire, the technology based heroes in Stargirl and Skyrocket, and the geokinetic Terra.  The other reason I wanted Dove on the team was that she’s not super powerful, but her abilities and natural skills (which are amplified as Dove) can be quite useful, especially for stealth missions.
