11. Heroes for Hire

Sometimes a two-man team matures into something greater.

Luke Cage, aka Power Man, was the original Hero for Hire, doing jobs for money. Then he partnered with Danny Rand and his Iron Fist, and the duo was formed. But when the X-Men, Avengers, and Fantastic Four disappeared following a battle with Onslaught, a power vacuum got left. And a buncha heroes stepped up to fill it as the new Heroes for Hire.

The Daughters of the Dragon formed their own incarnation during Civil War, but eventually disassembled after realizing that they had compromised their own ideals. Shadowland gave us another team which turned into the Villains for Hire. Infinity spawned team four, who became the Mighty Avengers.

And most recently, Deadpool tried to start his own incarnation, although they got sued into the name Mercs for Money instead. But whoever’s on the team, the Heroes for Hire are an important part of the Marvel universe.

10. The Champions

We are starting off the top 10 at the height of ridiculousness, because why not.

The Champions were one of the first Los Angeles-centered superhero teams. And as an LA native myself, I couldn’t be happier at this line up.

First, we have Iceman and Angel from the OG X-Men. This makes sense, as X-Men on a non-X-Men team is always fun. Also Black Widow because, well, she was up in San Francisco with Daredevil for a while and that’s not THAT bad a flight (Hopefully she flies into Burbank and not LAX because LAX is a nightmare airport). Then we have Hercules because if not Thor, he’s fine, I guess. And then Ghost Rider because…well honestly, I have actually no idea whatsoever.

I love this team because as a collective whole, they make legit no sense. It’s crazy. Iceman and Ghost Rider working together? What? Why? Who knows, but who cares because this lineup is awesome.
