5. D.P. 7
Not a Marvel Universe team, but still a Marvel Comics one. This was actually part of the New Universe, a group of characters set in their own world away from other superheroes. D.P.7 was the nickname given to a group of “Displaced Paranormals†who all discovered they had strange and frightening new superpowers.
They responded to an ad for a support group for powered individuals, which unfortunately turned out to be a trap organized by The Clinic. The Clinic is…well, a creeptastic clinic seemingly designed to experiment on Paranormals. The seven patients, newly thrown together by their circumstances, go on the run trying to escape and find a normal life for themselves.
Team members included the sweet Viva, the intelligent Antibody, and the simply wonderful Scuzz. Scuzz’s arc throughout D.P.7 is enough to justify reading the entire series on its own. It’s a tale of tragedy and pain worthy of any of writer Mark Gruenwald’s other works. Plus Squadron Supreme artist Paul Ryan is back to really knock this one out of the park.
A great, if overlooked comic with an awesome team.
