Best Superhero Team
I like Justice League, the X-men, and The Outsiders. What about the rest of you?

I haven't picke up anything new in ages, but back in the day (late 80s-mid 90s) the Xmen were the top of the pops. There was such a dynamic between all the characters from love/hate to hate/hate and everything inbetween. Much more of a dysfunctional family feel then the pantheon of the JLA or Avengers.

God can do anything, anytime, anyway He wants to.......if He wants to paint me blue and hang me upside down nekkid from an apple tree, thats alright, as long as it's God doing it. Of course, if He comes through with a directive like that, I might have to ask for some I.D. Michael Wanke

About all I currently read is The Outsiders, JLA, and Teen Titans.
The Outsiders is my current favorite.

Who are "The Outsiders"? The last group of Outsiders I've heard of, was a gang of greasers from the 50s, with no super powers whatsoever...

They were a superhero team during the 80's that Batman was in for awhile. They had some third-stringers in the team, so I'm not surprised. Their most famous member was Metamorpho.

"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll
"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther
"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."
- Dr. Joseph Ton, the exiled Romanian pastor (quoted by James Montgomery Boice)
"The best prayer I ever prayed had enough sin in it to condemn the whole world."

Amazing movie, BTW.
yeah. I think it was based on a book by S.E. Hinton (or was it Hilton) if I am correct…

Either the X-men or the Fantastic Four. As you can see, I'm mostly a Marvel kinda guy. The only hero from DC that I truely enjoy is Batman, so any group with him in it is ok by my watch.

You need to read Watchmen. It is a graphic novel written by Alan Moore and published by DC. However, I must warn you that there is some language and some sexual content.

Watchmen is the only graphic novel to win a Hugo Award, and is also the only graphic novel to appear on Time magazine's 2005 list of "the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to the present."
It really did change comics forever.

In response to the thread: I think that the Watchmen were the greatest superhero team.

If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things."

The Outsiders is still around, though the current series is quite different than what it was in the 80's. In a way, it's almost a much darker version of Teen Titans. The Outsiders operate on the premise that while other superhero teams such as JLA and the Teen Titans attempt to save the world as needed, the Outsiders hunt down dangerous criminals and capture them before they have the chance to do harm. The team was founded by Arsenal (formerly Speedy of the Teen Titans), and is being led by Nightwing.
Nightwing, who had led the Titans through all their incarnations up to a little while before the current Outsiders series starts, had completely dissaosociated himself from TT because he was sick of seeing his comrades whom he considered his family die or betray the team. (The Titans have had more turncoats than any other DC team.) His failing relationship with Starfire didn't help matters either. By becoming a solo hero, he wouldn't have the same emotional attatchments to anyone and wouldn't risk getting hurt.
Arsenal convinces him to lead the team by convincing him that it's just a job and he doesn't have to have any attatchment to anyone on the team. Nightwing reluctantly agrees, sticking to his hard-nosed policy of staying at a distance from his team.
Eventually, this starts causing tensions throughout the series as his team begins to come against him claiming that his hard nosedness is endangering the team. Things begin to worsen as it begins to become clear that one of the team is a traitor, and Nightwing uncovers a deadly secret about the Outsiders' info source.
One thing notable about the series is that it's not afraid to cross over into edgier material and real world themes, such as the horrifying but excellently written story arc where the Outsiders track a child trafficking ring.

Unfortunately, they were done in by their own skeletons in their closets.

Best is, of course very subjective. Does it mean most effective, favorite to read/watch, most powerful? Is it any team past and present?
I am currently reading comics for JLA, JSA, Teen Titans, Outsiders, Legion of Super-Heroes, Birds of Prey, and Shadowpact. My favorite title to read is Shadowpact. It’s very well written and the characters are all “likeableâ€
