The concept behind this thread is to create a team of heroes (not necessarily superheroes) geographically based in some region. This is based on the Marvel Comics idea of the Fifty State Initiative. This is where SHIELD decided to create a Superhero Team for EVERY one of the fifty States of the United States of America.
Some states were well off. New York State got the Avengers after all. Colorado got the Thunderbolts. Wisconsin got the Great Lakes Avengers lol. And Alaska got Hellcat... by herself. Harsh.
Anyways the idea here is not just to limit us to US States, but around the world... AND BEYOND. Countries. Provinces. Regions. Extraterrestrial planets. Alien regions of Spaaaaaace... etc. As long as they have a common (preferably) geographical theme and the heroes of said team have to have either been born or live or otherwise have a fairly strong connection to the location from which they are representing.
So for example, a team from Russia could include:
Zarya (Overwatch)
Red Guardian(Marvel Comics)
Heavy Weapons Guy (Team Fortress)
Colossus (X-Men Movies)
Anya Amasova (Bond Movies)
Volkov and Chitzoi (Command & Conquer: Red Alert)
Or a team from Ancient Egypt could include:
Moon Knight (Marvel Comics)
The Scorpion King (Mummy Movies)
SG-1 Teal'c, Carter, O'Neill (Stargate Moebius alt. Timeline)
Prince Khufu (DC Comics)
Or it could be done for extraterrestrial places, like Mars or fictional places (as far as we know) like Atlantis or even other dimensions or alien worlds if possible like Asgard or some form of Post-Apocalyptic Earth, or even something like Wood Elves of the forest or alien fish people from water worlds or something perhaps etc.
Anyways, that's the thought experiment. I'll try and flesh out some more proper rosters when I get the time.
