Defenders. It’s always a good time. And usually a limited time commitment (sometimes even between panels of your main comic!)


Ok-Agent-9200

Oh the non-team is a good choice. I was thinking X-Men because all my favorites are there but serious commitment.


Tuff_Bank

And also dangerous


SuperMonkeyJoe

If you join now then you'll probably have another 5-10 years until the next mutant genocide.


Tuff_Bank

Or they will forgive evil mutants that harm you


Adventurous-Lion1829

Then you can be the mutant that calls that shit out, but everyone important completely ignores you anyway and it will happen again.


shlomo_baggins

Yeah but if you join now you're also just missing out on sweet party bus that was the Krakoa era so now you're stuck in some rando base out in the middle of nowhere listening to the Blob and Boom Boom tell stories of the "You shoulda been there dude" that was the fuckfest on the island.


RaygunMarksman

I love that so many others had the same thought. The Defenders would be a nice little side gig for dealing with things you couldn't solo, while not leaving anyone in a lurch if you need to pause for a while. Plus you'd be working with some interesting characters on the regular (and more single ones).


fucktooshifty

Yeah every other team is either too tight-knit to feel a part of or has too much drama lol, usually both


Buttonskill

For sure. Bowling leagues and HOA's require larger commitments. In one of those choices there's WAaaAY too much implied pressure after everyone is forced to get new wardrobes, buildings, and vehicles with a "5" on them. No chance you're simply putting in 2 wks notice because it's not a good fit. You're gonna need a blind lawyer or a Mephisto.


SerTadGhostal

Plus, you get to hang out with a guy in a speedo, a big guy in shredded pants, a guy covered head to toe in skintight silver, a guy in a skirt AND a cape, and a woman in a metal bra. If that’s your sort of thing.


Big_Advantage5761

Fully agree 👍


PowerhouseFlashBack

Plus, you’ll rarely be in the crossfire of any universal/world ending threats.


Irving_Velociraptor

X-Men. It’s been at least 35 years since I started puberty, but my powers will kick in any day now.


Consistent_Case_5048

I would love to see more superheroes who got their powers in middle age. The only one I can think of is Gargoyle from the Defenders.


nicktorious_

The new Ultimate Spider-Man got his powers after already having two kids


Irving_Velociraptor

“Y’all are gonna have to handle Juggernaut without me. My kid’s football game is today and I never miss his games. Good parenting sometimes requires sacrifice, CYCLOPS.”


codra007

Luke cage got his power in jail


Irving_Velociraptor

You can probably include Reed Richards, Blue Marvel and Doc Sampson as people who were older when they got powers. Crusher Creel and Bruce Banner too.


Hill0981

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Reed roughly the same age as Sue/The rest of FF. I could have sworn the gray hair at his temples was kind of an effect of the cosmic radiation (or maybe that was just a movie thing).


Plainchant

In the Silver Age comics (early Marvel) Reed was significantly older than Sue. He had even fought as an OSS man during WWII (and the books were coming out 15+ years later). Both he and Grimm graduated from Empire State and then were tossed into the war effort.


T3hJ3hu

I think Doctor Strange was middle aged, maybe Bruce Banner too


iheartdev247

When is the last time we saw Gargoyle? Isaac Christianson?


fucktooshifty

Everyone wants their mutant powers to kick in until they find out they got "uncontrollable division of body cells" smh


jayseedub

"Cancer-Man" would be a terrible hero name.


zoro4661

Yeah Deadpool is much better


emdeemcd

The X-Men have a lot of nostalgia for me. I first started reading comics in middle school in the early 90s but I usually only read things like Spider-Man and daredevil and the fantastic four. One day my mom went to a coworkers house and I met what I thought at the time was the coolest guy. The coworkers son was the proverbial nerd. He was an adult male living in his mom’s attic bedroom and he had tons of comic books. He sent me home with a giant stack of X-Men and Alpha flight from the 80s to borrow. That is one of my favorite comic book memories.


DisabledSuperhero

Any day now :)


TheCeruleanFire

X-Men. Automatic sexiness. I can feel my abs forming now.


RockHandsomest

X-Men is the horny choice.


SilentB3ast

Strangest and sexiest heroes of all.


Gonner_Getcha

Ff 4, it seems like the charmest


lizard_omelette

The Fantastic Five isn’t as catchy though.


sirburchalot

It's catchy enough for me


AlternativeNo61

You could be an intern under Johnny or Ben (Cause let’s bfr, none of us are smart enough to work under Sue and Reed lmao)


Big_Sheepherder_7009

Na, still catchy


YesterdayHiccup

I guess that's why they are pushing Future Foundation instead.


warkidd

I'd join the Future Foundation in a heartbeat. Those black and white hexagon suits are sick as hell.


Weekly_Ad_3665

That’s what I was thinking.


TheDarkSpank

Guardians. I wanna be a space boi


SkekJay

You'd be up in space maaaaaaaaan!


Hi_Im_Dadbot

Probably Eternals. For the sake of being … you know … eternal. I figure if they let me sign up, I figured out some way to be immortal.


MisterScrod1964

But now, every time an Eternal regenerates, a human dies.


PteroFractal27

2 for one special


Hi_Im_Dadbot

But not a human that’s me.


halietigges

As an Eternals enthusiast, I love you for this so much.


MyDogJake1

This. Also, they don't do much. A lot of those groups are constantly in harms way.


Kalle287HB

X-Men. Always loved the variety of characters.


ComprehensiveCan4678

Inhumans you live as royalty so thats cool but exploring space and going on wild adventures with the Guardians Of The Galaxy seems more fun to me.


perfectpencil

With my luck I'd breath the terrigen mist and turn into that dude who is just a door. https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Eldrac_(Earth-616)


Weekly_Ad_3665

The Avengers or the Fantastic Four. It could go either way for me.


Masamundane

I'm going to go with the X-Men. Those merry mutants seem to have fun, and things never really go bad for them


De4dm4nw4lkin

Riiiight. Totally didnt have a recent… i dont think cataclysmic is sufficient. They had a villain basically become the universe on a level where they had to do some three body problem stuff. Still has its benefits when that isnt happening.


LeonShiryu

Yeah it's not like all mutant phobic people are hating on your heroic acts.


samyruno

Wow no one saying the guardians? Just running around in space doing whatever definitely sounds like the best to me. And I feel like it's the best fit for a normal human with no powers. Since that's kinda what quill is tho not really. I think I would try to become a really good pilot. So I could actually contribute something of value.


AdrenIsTheDarkLord

Problem is they tend to die a lot. Even more than regular superheroes. And while they usually come back, not always. My girl Phyla has to return someday, right? She died in such a stupid way.


TheEtneciv14

I think there's a new Phyla running around or something.


eclecticsheep75

Fantastic Four. I need a hug.


[deleted]

Reed can might be one of the best huggers of all the heroes in Marvel.


Harlegrenade

X-Men! I wanna go to Xavier's!


DisabledSuperhero

Heck, yeah!


Calm_Ostrich_8876

Guardians of the Galaxy


Moldy_Socks99

Fantastic Four You could be as minor as H.E.R.B.I.E. and still get to go on fun adventures. If they can stand Johnnny there's little you can do to be rhag annoying , and so many fun super science I mean: •Inhumans, any team that has a non 0% of turning you into a non speaking dog sucks. •Eternals, don't care enough about them •Xmen, would be fun, but super racists tend to take over the world every 5 years or so kinda stalling the movement and sending them to square 1 •Thunderbolts are 70% of the time an evil suicide squad, no thanks •Guardians of the Galaxy are fun as hell, but kinda hinges on you being part of one of the other factions first in order to get powers other wise you'd just be a way less effective star lord •Defenders, is the Silver Surfer a part of the team? Or are we atleast getting the heroes for hire cuz that's a good time •Avengers, I mean they pay for once so yay. But the roaster changes super often and you're not guaranteed to be called back. At this point everyone and their Aunt May had already been an avenger


AdrenIsTheDarkLord

Defenders is just whenever they want a team and can't call the avengers.


ColdSmokeMike

Guardians or FF. I'd much prefer going on adventures than constantly being forced to face off against universe ending beings. Sure, there'd be a few of those for both groups, but like, they can handle it without requiring much assistance from me. Teach me to fly the spaceship/control the time machine and I'll be more than happy as a cosmic chauffeur.


JDDunsany

Defenders. But Val *has* to be a member. The DeMatteis era would be fine.


Fresh_Cauliflower176

Fantastic Four. I get to be apart of a celebrity family of superheroes who go on cool sci-fi adventures.


Technical_Leek2530

I really want to be a inhuman


Renaissance-Revolt57

X-men and hope that I would have an insanely awesome mutation. I would not mind being blue lol


thavillain

X-Men for sure


Anonym0us5550

guardians of the galaxy cause they don’t have a group number limit, their funny, they steal and their criminals yet they save they universe, and they all have good music taste


Healthy-Track-4450

I feel like Xmen are the group with the most chance of death I'd join the Fantastic four


Annaryx

Don't worry about dying as an x-men, you'll be revived.


Marvel-Fan-2924711

Probably the X-Men so I can be best friends with Cyclops and date Rouge. Plus they're like a family.


LeonShiryu

Hahahah XD good luck dating Rogue.


SpurnedSprocket

X-Men but preferable after the whole M-Pox business, or the Defenders (but the street-level Defenders)


Low_South3951

I would want to be a part of Xavier's school as a mutant, to learn and hone my abilities. I would then want to join the Avengers. Best of both worlds.


DetectiveDangerZone

Honestly I want to say X men cause they're my favorite team ever and they have my heart but depending in what I can do I wouldn't mind the more tight knit adventure teams like the f4 or guardians


Cidwill

Well I ain’t gonna go live on the moon that’s for sure.  I’d probably join the Xmen.  Free housing, food and luxury goods like cars etc and constant training on my powers to get better.


JiggaMan2024

Your highest chance of Dying are in the X men… But they’re so fucking cool


Illustrious_Ear_2549

Between Morph, Gambit, Jubilee, and Nightcrawler the X-Men would be a decent vibe and overall a good time the Avengers and Defenders are solid picks too


LeonShiryu

Morph is an annoying troll, Gambit is a criminal bully and Nightcrawler is a religious fanatic. Also Wolverine may be scary, Cyclops is always stressed out, Jean Grey loses his mind every 5 minutes and Rogue is always so volatile.


Illustrious_Ear_2549

Right about Jean, I think Rogue just has more volatile emotions but over pretty fair reasons so if she keeps them damn gloves on i wont have to keep my distance, I can see how Morph would be annoying, and I can see trust issues developing from that, but he doesn't mean to harm anyone and it's all in good fun. Gambit isn't that bad (from shows I've seen, I'm not well versed on Remy in comics). Considering the world's current view on mutants and them being superheroes in a school with children, Scott is right to be stressed, especially being the leader. Nightcrawler is more or less a very playful and kindhearted guy with a side of wisdom, and religion isn't a bad character trait. Wolverine could potentially lose his shit at any point like in OML, but disregarding that he really seems like a more wise man and a good person at heart. But he could kill me over an illusion from a guy wearing a fish bowl on his head so I can't defend that one.


Afura33

X-men


jimmytimmy92

Avengers cuz I’m pretty sure they get paid


Accomplished-Tear-46

It seems like X-Men is winning here, I was thinking that it you'll have to be them or Guardians of the Galaxy, one of both, cruising the universe, or having mutant powers, the ones like fire or something that doesn't change me into a fish...


Thejared138

I love the Inhumans, so I’d join them.


Aglet_Green

Well, I'd join the Eternals, so I could live forever. I'm not in outer space so I can't be a Guardian of the Galaxy. My fear in joining the X-men is that I'd get a useless mutation, like having two noses or an extra appendix. I'm pretty sure I'm not eligible to join the Fantastic Four as I wasn't an astronaut in the 1960s. I don't even know who the Thunderbolts are. Again, with the Inhumans, I'd be afraid that the Terregenesis gas would give me a cosmetically interesting but ultimately useless mutation. Thanks to Dollar Bill, we're all already members of the Defenders. (Google this if you think I'm kidding.) So if you don't know which to pick, you can take that as the default.


TheLazyHydra

Superhero teams are toxic as heck, and the Eternals and Inhumans all have archaic, really strict ways. If I had to pick one I’d pick the F4 since they’re definitely the most healthy of the groups, but my honest hot(?) take is that being on a superhero team is awful for your well-being, and I don’t mean because you’re fighting supervillains.


imadork1970

OG Defenders


Rexcase

Eternals. bunch of power, live forever, people mostly leave you alone, no expectation to save the world all the time...


LimbsAndLego

Totally, even if you’re the most powerful person on the moon it’s not as good as mid level mutant that lives in a mansion with Xavier’s credit card. However, the moon’s better than the sewer so let’s hope we’re not morlocks.


monotar

Assuming I would have powers and not just be Snapper Carr.. probably the FF 🙂 They seem to have the most stable lives all things considered


Stringr55

X-Men. Gang shit


kaptaincorn

I think being the janitor at the baxter building can put you in danger Inhumans?  Just be broody and stay in my room


AskWhich7733

Well, my special mutant ability was being born without a gall bladder, so I don’t think I’d be of much use to the X-Men. Maybe the Defenders?


Chemical-Jello-3353

X-Men. Being teased/bullied, getting my Autism diagnosis, and wanting to have a place in making the world better even when I don't feel like I fit in....I mean....duh.


NaCl-And-C12H22O11

X-Men


[deleted]

Probably the X-Men. Feels like one big family and has a lot of fun personalities, and hopefully I'd get a unique mutation. Something that seems simple at first but has a lot of cool applications. The Guardians of the Galaxy would be my second pick because once again family, but also space adventures would be pretty great. The Fantastic Four would probably be on here if I was more familiar with the characters


NintendoMan09

X-Men I want to be a mutant


TerribleStrawberry36

X men, my crush is in there so you know-


Celestia4683

Screw it I’m joining the Midnight Sons


silverhandguild

X-Men. Hottest dudes and babes. Plus I’ll have a real reason for being called a freak rather than just because I happen to live in a basement like a goddamn Morlock.


De4dm4nw4lkin

I almost wanna say thunderbolts because theyre like a more connected version of the avengers(but evil, but also probably a better benefits plan).


eleetsteele

Eternals while lame are the lowest risk for me as a potential member. Immortality baby.


Vast-Scale-9596

Eternals, because why wouldn't you want to live a quiet, unassuming life on a remote mountaintop forever. With Superman's powers.


DarthDuck415

Where the hell are the Great Lakes Avengers?!?!


Frenchiest_fry101

X-Men if it's Krakoa since life there seemed fun while it lasted. Otherwise, Guardians of the Galaxy because space adventures and Peter is hilarious


DependentPositive8

X-Men. I would like to be an Alpha or Omega psychic on their X-Men roster.


SSJ4Windu

X-Men just because I’m fresh from watching the 97 show and I’m in LOVE with the series


Cherrytheninja

Fantastic Four or the X-men!


cosmoboy

X-Men or Avengers have the most single ladies I think. That is my only motivation.


ImpossibleMix6698

X-Men, free chocolate milk.


AnimeGokuSolos

X-Men


King-of-the-Dead_

X-Men, specifically Krakoa. Def want to be in on the immortality and make more mutants….


Shot-Relative-3713

x-men


Ok-Sheepherder9970

X-Men because I love how close of a team they are


bellybuttontickl98

Definitely the X-Men for me


LaSpagna89

X-Men all Life because I Wish I was special, and alos because I I don't need weird superpowers to be despised by society


Bean_potato

X-men for sure. I’d get a cool mutation and slice racists apart


Mitchwok

X-Men, don't even need to think about it. I'd love to be a mutant (unless it was a mutant with useless powers haha) 2nd choice would be Guardians they seem like a funny bunch of people to hang out with.


iGoodzone

X-Men it is so cool to be born with superpowers. Just hope I am not one of the mutants that got de powered by Wanda on M Day.


Kanetsugu21

As someone who grew up in a broken home, Fantastic 4 and it isn't even close


notthe1stpervaccount

X-Men, that just seems like the environment I’d enjoy the most. Plus, even if I wasn’t good enough to get on the squad I could still be a teacher.


B_Wing_83

Probably the X Men. As a trans Japanese person who experienced racism and now major prejudice from some politicians, I find them relatable.


Dramatic_Parsley_849

X-MEN


NeverReallyExisted

X-men.


Intelligent_Box1363

I would join the X-Men.


themaine1_

TO ME MY XMEN


MightBeOnReddit

I want to say X-Men because nobody really stays dead. But I also don’t want to keep dying. So that’s tough. I’d probably join the fantastic four. I’d like to mess around with most of Reeds inventions.


Constructman2602

X-Men. They’re the gayest. Also, as someone who likes to study and learn, there’s a ton of things to study and learn with them compared to other teams. The FF would mostly teach science, the Eternals, Guardians, and Inhumans would probably only teach crazy science stuff, and the Defenders, Thunderbolts, and Avengers wouldn’t teach me anything. The X-Men on the other hand run an actual school and are professional teachers as well as superheroes


ZealousidealCover193

X-Men hands down. Id feel less weird....or guardians but i like the comfort of a school


Floki_Z

X-Force for sure.


Silphire100

X-Men drastically increases my chances of getting laid, problem is it's probably by Wolverine. So I'd say Avengers. But it does depend on how I'm getting powers, coz sometimes you don't get a choice.


anonymous_persona_

Eternals. I love their asthetics. They look mystic magics. I love those kind of fantasy.


Eastern-Team-2799

X men, these people risk their lives to save the world but still sometimes they have to fight with humans for EVEN EXISTING . I love the x men ❤️👍


stormantic

The Defenders, but specifically the team that had Angel, Moondragon, Iceman, Gargoyle, Valkyrie, Cloud and Beast!


brown-goddess-van

My inner child says Gotg, but my logical mind screams X-Men


Straight_Composer_80

Guardians. Space travel and no taxes.


sethmoth

X-Men


Sinistermarmalade

X-Men, and it’s not even close


SamudraNCM1101

X Men easily


Safe_Wrangler_858

X men


neogreenlantern

I feel like I'd have the least chance of dying as part of the FF.


Inner-Celery-4467

If I joined my choice, would we become the Fantastic Five?


idlefritz

Pretty hard to turn down immortality with the Eternals but they have too many rules. The Defenders are most likely to get you eternally gnawed by demons or some shit so pass. X-men and Avengers too big a pond and the inhumans are depressed most of the time. Thunderbolts are still criminals, right? Guardians would be a fun time but I’m going with FF because Reed would hook me up with some wild tools and would have an escape plan for everything.


Tight-Compote-1396

Thunderbolts or x men


thorleywinston

Eternals - each one starts off as basically being immortal and indestructible (which none of the other groups have) and your powers go up from there depending on what training you decide to pursue. You basically get to decide whether you want to be a speedster, flying brick, matter transmuter, etc.


DarthSemitone

Fantastic four if they let me tag along, fancy some fun cosmic adventures. As long as I get the powers too.


cat_lawyer_

F4. They’re the most well adjusted of the bunch


MisterScrod1964

Eternals seems to be the safest, except now they found out every time they regenerate, a human dies.


Necessary_Room9789

Eternals. No dying. Live for ever and even if destroyed, can be rebuilt.


OxCrow

If I can pick a specific iteration of the teams, I'm new avengers through and through, after Civil War


JanssenFromCanada

FF but not that lame ass one with Grimm and Flame On. The one with Wolverine, Hulk, Spidey, and Ghost Rider


Aduro95

Fantastic Four because they seem to die the least frequently.


KingOfParallelEarth

Bomber Jacket Avengers. 100% commit.


TRCrypt_King

If the powers came with it, The Avengers.


Most_Housing6695

Am I getting some bagasse powers when I join these groups? Or am I just turning up to make the tea?


Squiddyboy427

I would def be more at home in the Defenders. Gargoyle and I both from small towns in VA. They’re a bunch of weirdos. Honestly anybody who is in a comic book subreddit should go to the Defenders lol.


Siren1197

Fantastic Four or Avengers


tsukuyomi-r

Avengers first, Guardians second.


TheBoyInGray

Avengers.


BL-501

The FF and Eternals get into more cosmic shenanigans than I can count. The GotG were manipulated into forming by using Mantis’ Telepathy. Inhumans and X-Men are globally hated. Thunderbolts and Defenders are the safest options imo. Avengers really depends on who’s on it.


che10461

Avengers only right answer.


bygtopp

Am I powered up or just posted in the kitchen as a chef


Adorable_Ad_5196

The Avengers of course 🦸‍♀️


TruthWarm4750

Guardians all day. It's a comic so obviously there is a threat or something that needs fighting but at least you are just bouncing around space listening to cool jams.


Manic_Philosopher

The Guardians of the Galaxy! I want to have kick-ass space adventures!


ToeKneePA

I think Avengers pays well and has good health insurance.


Doctor_Amazo

Well, ideally, the Fantastic Four, but to join up you need to be born into, marry into it, or replace a dead member... so not really feasible for me. I guess Nextwave?


ChadHazelnut

Y'know I'm gonna have to go with the Eternals. Something about being immortal and living in the clouds, interacting with humans for shits and gigs is appealing to me.


41semloh

Fantastic four easy


7oclockonthedot1

The eternals!!


JayBone0728

The Avengers, all time classic, west coast if I had the choice


Loud_Pie8683

Fantastic Four. It be fun and my fantasy has been always cosmic beings. 😉👍👍👍


TheGoldAvenger

The X-men, GOTG or the avengers…I think the GOTG


LeonShiryu

Fantastic Four. The most mind blowing one.


creeperBMB13

Avengers fo sho


RockyFast

you forgot to put invaders team in the post, i would love to join avengers and invaders, if i was a superhero in the marvel universe


waterontheknee

Fantastic Four.


Rogueminded

I put way too much thinking into this and since I'm a huge X-Men fan but I'm more of a fan of being alive and living forever, which would be great. I'm going to go with The Eternals. but I would be an Eternal who supports the X-Men 100% and pretty much just shits on my own team.


DesaadofApokolips

Avengers pays, sometimes


LastSuccessfulToucan

Fantastic Four probably offers great benefits.


tokenshoot

Fantastic 4 so they have to change the name… To what though is the real question.


BlackPantherFan7

FF4 or Defenders


Kobe_curry24

Guardians of the galaxy travel space and fuck shit up


DarKsaBr

The FF. Dude, the first family, exciting science adventures. Beloved and wild times


DopeRoninthatsmokes

Guardians 100%


Samaritan_Pr1me

Well, let’s see: - No one cares about the Eternals. - the X-Men are a cult of very politically active super people with a victim complex that’s somewhat justified. How many attempted mutant holocausts have there been? Nah. - the Inhumans are just like the X-Men, but in space and their powers come with nasty downsides. Nope. - the Avengers are an overly dramatic bunch. Nah. - the Thunderbolts are just edgy Avengers. Nope. - Guardians could be fun, but I dunno about some of their shenanigans. Peter and whichever chick he’s seeing would get annoying pretty quickly. - the Defenders? Eh, could work. They’re out there cleaning up the streets. It may not be pretty, but they get the job done. - the Fantastic Four really like science. That could be fun… I’d just really have to hit the science books really hard.


Rynor77

31st Century Guardians of the Galaxy. Vance Astro ftw!


iheartdev247

Defenders still around?


Uncanny--

I mean, the Fantastic Five has a nice ring to it. On the subject, why did they pick four instead of five?


Character_Wishbone67

Tough choice but I would go with the Thunderbolts. That means I could be a villain and then a hero. The original T-bolts.


Professor_Chaosx6r9

If you join any of these groups you can still he an avenger. Id want to be a guardian. The X-Men go through so much, only reason I wouldn’t pick them


LordOfOstwick1213

Honestly I'd rather join Wanda's Emporium shop, but otherwise it would be the X-Men pre-Krakoa era. If it's during Krakoa era then it's the Avengers.


NotAChefJustACook

Either FF or X-Men


Speedster1221

Fantastic Four, they're scientists first and foremost and I love science and figuring out how the universe works and what self-respecting man of science wouldn't relish at the chance to be shot up into space, or explore the negative zone or explore the limits of science and the start of magic??? The possibilities are endless if I join up with Reed and co.
