    Major Spoilers Question Of The Day: Five-Man Band Edition

    Matthew PetersonBy 8 Comments1 Min Read

    Sometimes, I get bored.  That’s really my only excuse.  And because I get bored, I like to think about silly things, most of which deal with semi-obscure super-types from around the various worlds.  For some reason, last night’s thought process involved assembling my own five-color  Super Sentai-inspired team, featuring:

    Because I am a giving soul, I started to wonder how many ridiculously innovative and cool variations might occur if other people were playing along with me (keeping in mind that we’re talking about a TEAM here, so having Superman be your blue and do all the work isn’t any fun) which begs a query…

    The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) had two rules:  First, no actual Super Sentai/Power Rangers allowed, and the “standard” color scheme rules – Red, Yellow, Blue, Green or Black, and Pink, no other substitutions allowed, otherwise things get inordinately complex, asking: What five characters from anywhere in pop-culture would you choose for the ultimate team?

    Once upon a time, there was a young nerd from the Midwest, who loved Matter-Eater Lad and the McKenzie Brothers... If pop culture were a maze, Matthew would be the Minotaur at its center. Were it a mall, he'd be the Food Court. Were it a parking lot, he’d be the distant Cart Corral where the weird kids gather to smoke, but that’s not important right now... Matthew enjoys body surfing (so long as the bodies are fresh), writing in the third person, and dark-eyed women. Amongst his weaponry are such diverse elements as: Fear! Surprise! Ruthless efficiency! An almost fanatical devotion to pop culture! And a nice red uniform.

      Red: Wonder Woman

      Black: Venom (Eddie Brock)

      Yellow: Scorpion (Mortal Kombat)

      Green: Doctor Doom

      No real theme–just characters that I like. Although, this group of characters interacting as a team would probably be pretty damn fun to watch.
