If you're interested in our next theme team, come meet us tonight and Sunday (Aug 26 and 28) at our pre-Freedom event! See http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=266876 for details.

Justice superteamers: We have a website now, in case the forums get closed early. If you've ever run with us, come visit us again before the curtain falls. We're running bucket list characters--anything you've always wanted to play but never got around to.
Hi! I was at the pre-Freedom event (the MoLambda, actually). I rolled up a Dark/Sonic Defender... hope the duplication is all right. I just realized there was already someone bringing a Dark/Sonic. If not I can figure something else out, just let me know. 
Currently: Dark Ally Amp is sitting at level 2 in Nova. 
Hey, that's me!
Duplication is A-OK. Last team, I ran a Pistols/Sonic corruptor, and EF ran a Sonic/Pistols defender. I'm pretty sure we had two Pistols/Kin, too. Especially with Dark & Sonic, the stacking debuffs ought to be very advantageous.
Of course, the costumes better look different. That's the most important part of the game, anyway.

Look! If someone else comes to the party wearing the same dress as me there'll be a problem!

Shame that this couldn't wait for dark blasters... 
That said, I started figuring what I'd bring to the party and realized that at least 1/2 the planned times are going to run right into 'The Walking Dead' once broadcasts start.
City of Heroes was my first MMO, & my favorite computer game.

Again, Chyll no matter what the theme could have been at the time of voting all choices faced the argument of waiting till i21 hits. My suggestion would to possible make a corr with dark blast. I know its not a perfect solution, but the best i can offer. Depending when i21 hits, you are more then welcome to roll a dark blaster and join us then. The only factors we would have to be wariy of would be the level gap. Since new toons will be able to choose there starting side right away, a new balster could easily join the side the group chooses. For the record, we always try to find a happy medium with levels gaps so if the blaster is what you really want, then maybe roll a temp toon to start off with us and switch to the blaster once we figure out what side we are playing on.|

b) try to record the show in some way. (granted i know the feeling of wanting to watch a new episode the night that it premeres. so the argument is moot, but a positive side is you could fast forward through the commericals.)
c) i know i tend to get on early before the play sessions and usually stand around looking up stuff on WW. So in theory, a team could be formed a bit early to get in extra time before your departure. The only hitch would be TF/SF should one be done that evening. Not a big deal since there have been occasions we did a TF/Sf back-to-back (i.e. one on friday and the same one on sunday).
d) try to find a partner to level pact with. If you can for sure make the firday night runs, then i don't see why missing an hour on sunday would be a problem. I think there are a couple of justice super teamers in the group who would be happy to join a level pact with you. I can't recall who may/may not already be in one. But i don't think it will be to hard to find one.

Thanks for the reply, and I wasn't trying to disrupt - just making a marginally tongue-cheek observation (also missed that it had been discussed when I scanned the thread - sorry).|

Having played all the existing dark sets/ATs, blaster would be 'new'... but I tend to prefer corrs anyway. With existing power sets I'd probably lean dark/pain (that pesky I21 again stops me from saying dark/time.
)A DA/ tank would be fun to level again too, I suppose...

If you do decide to roll a temp and switch to a blaster, let me know if you need help getting caught up.

As for cats of one kind or another, I see in another post that EF's ears caught that and a certain character is ducking out of sight!

I think I'll join in on this as well. However, I'm a little undecided on what AT/role to fill.
For the sake of not having the ST heavy for one specific role (melee for example), what AT or role would be a good fit? I'm open to playing any AT.
Quote:
Honestly Smurfis, whatever you want to bring. During our last project (guns) there were two blasters (one being myself) and the rest were either def or corr (i think the majority being corr). It was to the point that i was herding rooms towards the team just so we would have things to shoot. So whatever you have not tried or would like to play again. But to answer your question, I think we are again the majority being def/corr heavy. I think there is one tank (at least from channel disscussion) and one brute. I know there is also a scrapper. So any melee will be welcome, as well as more buff/debuff from a def/corr. Aslo, welcome to the madness, you will enjoy yourself.

This. More melee wouldn't hurt. I know there's only a few that are bringing melee types. We're a bit corruptor/defender heavy, but I think that you can't have too many of those on a team.
If you want to mix it up a bit, take dark as your secondary. I'm bringing a dark/cold domination corruptor because as Deacon_NA puts it, good things happen when you have a cold in your group.

As multiple people have already pointed out: play what you're most interested in (within the theme). Our superteams are built to allow anybody to show up and succeed as part of the group.
If you don't have something you're interested in yet, think about powersets you've never tried before but could be fun. Shield Defense has a shield costume part to match just about every primary and fit thematically, for example.
If this still doesn't narrow it down enough for you, fall back to a buffer. As I already mentioned, our teams are built to allow anybody to succeed no matter what they bring. Having a couple buffers around contributes heavily to that. Pick Defender or Corruptor with Dark Blast, and a +Resist or +Def set, or perhaps Kinetics (always high in demand).
This superteam looks to have a lot of interest so far, so I predict our first month of teaming will have more than one full team, and probably more than two full. Even if we're heavy on +Def or actually have identical builds, we'll probably end up splitting to get everybody balanced and included, so we'll just split the duplicates.
Also, no matter what you pick, consider team friendly pool powers:
Leadership (we stack so much Maneuvers you benefit almost as much as from a +Def buffer, and if you do have a +Def buffer, it stacks beautifully)
Medicine (works great on superteams lacking active heals, like the old /Trick Arrow and /Traps teams, but never hurts to have even on heal heavy teams)
If your build is just too tight for 2-3 powers from those pools, fall back on Recall Friend and help allies get accross zones faster.
I'm back from hiatus and in for this. I might actually make a buffer since they made it easier to shield/sb while I was gone.
Welcome Mr. Heat Stroke!
Tanks I like but again not a big fan of being critiqued for not Tanking correctly according to some clever sod in the team - yeah, it's happened - I figure if i'm keeping as muny of the bad guys attention on me as possible and handing out some damage alla round while continuing to pull attention away from individual team mates who've attracteded attention the i must be doing something right.
I had a grand time on my inv/ss Tank with few quibbles form the peanut gallery. Sevral of the other tanks i've given a try have received different attention.
Of course in this Incarnate age, everything has changed.
