What if you could put together your own avengers team?

Hmmm hard to tell without any metrics... I mean there are certainly iconic Avengers and the like. but with such an open thread idea... Hmmm I'll go off of the MCU after Phase Three and who I think should be on the team. I'll limit it to seven people.

1. Falcon: He's the one who was chosen to inherit the shield by Steve more then anyone else, so he should get it. I'm not sure if I'd make him leader though. That would probably go to...

2. War Machine: War Machine has literally been there since the beginning and actually has a lot of experience... and firepower.

3. Dr. Strange: Since Wong is the Sorcerer Supreme, I think that should give Dr. Strange time to deal with Avengers stuff. His magical knowledge would be an asset to the team and overcome a lot of weaknesses.

4. Lady Sif: Need a brick on the team and while she can't fly, she's a tough warrior. And she was literally forgotten for several films. Like what the hell? I was thinking Korg but he's kinda... just doesn't work for me.

5. Quake: Need someone from the television series and well, she's a highly trained field agent, genius level hacker and has cool vibration/earthquake powers. Should be pretty useful.

6 & 7. Ant-Man & the Wasp: They both have a pretty versatile skill set that is pretty unconventional and Ant-Man is a professional thief and can grow big while Wasp is just a super badass with WINGS.

Thor and Hulk aren't on the team because the former went to space and the latter doesn't seem that reliable to be a main member. I see Professor Hulk as someone who could show up a lot, like War Machine did, but always on the periphery or what have you.

Black Panther is too busy doing Wakanda things and somehow dying to cancer despite having the cure for it.

Wong, the Sorcerer Supreme I feel is busy doing Sorcerer Supreme things.

Captain Marvel and the Guardians of the Galaxy are busy guarding the whole galaxy, instead of the Avengers who are mostly focused on just Earth.

And I left out Spider-man because while he would be a good fit on the team, I've always really seen him as a solo hero. And New York villainy could get crazy if he wasn't there monitoring it.

I also wanted to add Daredevil or Luke Cage or one of the Iron Fists from the Netflix series but none of them seemed to be a good fit.

With that said, if there was a "Young" or New Avengers line up we could have characters like Kamala Khan, Kate Bishop Hawkeye, Yelena Black Widow, and Riri as an Iron Woman or whatever. Just do a better job introducing some of those characters... oh and Cassie Cage as Stature of course. Plus you could have a mentor character like Bucky Barnes training them, and maybe add some Marvel Netflix heroes like Luke Cage and either Danny Rand or Colleen Wing.

I don't think DareDevil would be a good fit on an Avengers team. He feels solo as well... and all of the loud noises and weird esoteric powers I feel would have a deleterious effect on his senses sometimes I feel. Plus he just feels more street.
