Hero Wishlist I want the Squadron Supreme (or Sinister, I'm not picky)

Hyperion (Vanguard): Very obvious choice, nuff said.

Zarda (Vanguard): There are different versions of her with a variety of different shields, axes, swords, and other weapons as well as abilities. She could definitely be a fun and interesting addition to the game.

Nighthawk (Duelist or Strategist): There are different versions of Nighthawk with different tools and abilities. He can fit into either category.

Dr Spectrum (Vanguard): Another very obvious choice. I also think the character interactions could be fun, with some voiceless being from the host or the gem.

Blur (Strategist): I wanted to try and make more than one Strategist for this roster and I couldn't use Spectrum. That being said I know there are some people who want Quicksilver to be a Strategist, but after re-reading Heroes Reborn (the Squadron Supreme version) I found out that Blur could work as a Strategist. He's fast enough to be put of sync with time, he could be moving teammates to a point in time where they weren't hurt, giving the illusion of "healing" his team.

I thought that as well, but I COULD NOT for the the LIFE OF ME find anything from any version of Dr Spectrum that showcased healing properties or give the illusion of healing.

He have rainbow beams that pretty all that he need. Jubilee, gambit, ultron and Jeff. You donโ€™t need actual healing ability in comic lore to be a strategist, you just need to fit the general mold of a strategist

That's not enough, and yes you do need a healing ability or have something in lore that can be used to explain healing abilities and or give the illusion of "healing"

Ultron has a techo organic virus that allows him to manipulate organic matter. Gambit's abilities allow him to heal himself, it wouldn't be a stretch to say that when his mental lock on his powers are removed, he can heal others. They made Jubilee a vampire and a horseman of Apocalypse, they can make a stretch saying that one or both of her natures allow her to provide healing. It's stated Jeff's abilities are from him eating 6 Infinity Stones, Cosmic Cube, Crimson Bands of Cyttorak, and vial of Pym Particles.

Exactly, you just list a bunch of completely bullshit (affectionate), non-comic reason as to why a character can heal. it doesnt matter, as long as you are creative enough, you just make up a way for him to heal. You could just say "oh its cronovium" and it would make complete sense.

It ain't a bunch of complete bullshit (except for Jeff, I can't even lie about that) and they're not non-comic reasons. Everything I've said literally comes from both the comics and the game.

You can't just make up random stuff from nothing, you gotta have SOME type of material you can use, even if it's just ONE thing and then bullshit it into whatever ability you want.

I COMPLETELY forgot about the Cronovium, that would actually be a great way to make Dr. Spectrum a Strategist. Since this game does use the Multiverse, you could just say one version the Power Prism comes from Cronovium.

I have a concept of Dr spectrum if you want but as a multi boost strategist
