Unity as a superhero team......well, I can't see the Valiant characters working together so harmoniously as they do in Justice League. Since there would probably be some bickering, maybe even arguing, they'd be closer to an Avengers-type team.
Maybe more like Defenders...or Secret Defenders. But instead of Dr. Strange gathering heroes for a mission, its Ninjak and/or Neville Alcott, or even Kay McHenry.

I am presently rereading the first hundred issues of The Avengers. Nearly every arc contains a scene where somebody gets cranky, they literally fight each other no-holds-barred for two full pages and then "cool off" and apologize to one another.

I guess they were a little more testy in 1969. :lol:

True. :lol:

But that's what makes them a better team in my opinion. Historically, members of the Justice League got along a little too well for my tastes. (Unless it was everyone's secret fear of Batman that held them in line :wink: )

Could anyone please fill me in on the backstory of the Secret Weapons title? I know a wide assortment of characters appeared in it. But was it an 'official' team or a more loosely-based team? What brought them together originally or kept them together afterwards?
