The Ultimate Draft - Congrats Edgar: Team Voted Best Overall

[wdleehi]

When I get a chance, I will present my team.

[indeedproceed]

IP's World Beaters:

Captain/World Overlord: Ben Franklin
A new kind of conqueror, a man who rules with not a sword or some kind of fuddy duddy cosmic power, but a man who rules with a pen, and a voice that captures the hearts and minds of the people. Conquered people only remain yours until you leave. People who believe in you will be allies for life.

Second in Command: Westly, from the Princess Bride
A man who has both compassion and ruthlessness. He was the Dred Pirate Roberts as well as the hero that saved the princess. he's bright, he's young, he's good looking, the ladies love him, the men want to be him, just a great new face for my neo socialist empire.

Science/General Policy Advisor: Stephen Hawking
People seem to like him and know his name. He seems to know everything about everything. He will devote his time to using science to solve world hunger and get the Detroit Lions into the playoffs. He will make you pretty and make your kids smart. Ladies and gentlemen, SCIENCE!

Secret Science Advisor/behind the scenes enforcer: Dr Manhattan
He will secretly be making the world a new power source (which I will control, and only give to nations if they support me, AHAHHAHHAHAHAHA!), but even more secretly, he will be eliminating the opposition.

Health Advisor: Hannibal Lecter
Actually a very brilliant man, he will be in charge of national nutirition and overall health. He is a certified MD and psychologist, and he seems to be very creative about solutions, just don't go to his dinner parties.

Franklin's Shadow/Body Guard/Ninja Assassin: Lawrence Taylor
Forget the "power of thanos" or the neverending story gauntlet. Lets talk about facts. Fact: Lawrence Taylor in his day was the most feared man on the planet. Zeus can hit the road walking, because LT ate lightening and crapped thunder. Although listed at 6'3, you would be hard pressed to find a QB in the 80's that didn't think he was 10 feet tall.

Hype Team/People on the streets: Bill Murray, circa 1982, and Trent from Swingers
These two guys will single handedly show America how to laugh again. They will make jaded middle age former hipsters learn to fall in love, and tehy will make teenage kids know what it means to be cool. both unendingly positive and talented guys, good luck in the townhall meetings, world.

Mascot: Underdog
Meh, he's a dog, he's my mascot, and he has all the powers of superman. We don't play, SON!

Soul Man: Marvin Gaye
-Nobody is cooler than Marvin.

In other words, the weakest government ruler in terms of world domination.  Heck, Franklin wasn't even a government leader, never holding national office.  Also, if the pen was his weapon, how come Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson, and Sam Madison were the authors of the great documents to come out of the Revolutionary period?

Ben Franklin as a world dominator = pansy.

Roy! Come on!

Are you going to tear down everything I do today?

Poor Richard's Almanac? Oh yes Roy. He wrote that.

Danielle Steele is a best seller, too.  Maybe you could put her on your team.  She's not dominating any worlds, though.

TP...that was a quality put down 

[Redz]

My squad might be better suited for defense than domination but I'll give it a whirl.

MASTER OF DISASTER
Kaiser Soze - Will sit back and read all of your testimonials then use them to concoct a plan to destroy you all.  Of course it will all be BS, but you'll suffer miserably regardless.

GENERAL
Muhammad Ali - Float like a butterfly conquer like a bee.

TACTICS
Macguyver - Doesn't need high power weapons to conquer.  He'll make chicken salad out of chicken poop and beat you into submission with it.

MUSCLE MAN
Captain Marvel - Badder than Shaft, tugs on Superman's cape and all aound butt kicker.

ATTACK DOG
Scooby Doo - Perhaps the most fearsome of all.  Sure, he seems friendly enough, but Scooby has been trained to eat humans like Scooby snacks.

WEAPONS
Einstein - The bomb's nuthin.  Einstein's had another 50 years or so since death to concoct major weapons of mass destruction.  He wasn't keen on using his knowledge for harm, but Ghandi convinced him to do it for the team.

TAG TEAM
Ghandi & Houdini - Together they have Wonder twin like powers.  Ghandi has thrown his pacifist ways to the wind and is ready to kick some buttocks.

ENETERTAINMENT
Newman & Strummer - Umm...they're wicked tough and stuff

[KCattheStripe]

Donatello- Our weapons specialist. He's backwards engineered Neutrino technology to improve his already genius vehicle and weapon designs.

Derek Jacobi- Our minister of propaganda, he won't be writing the speeches but he's by far our best orator.

James Madison- The man with the plan, once we've taken over Madison will design a government to keep us in power. He's also the only president who as commander in chief, led a United States Military unit in battle.

Jesse Owens- He runs really fast.

Prof.James Moriarty- Will keep the criminal element in line so that we can use them to both fund our take over but also use them as a reason to gain power.

Odysseus of Ithaca- The General of our armed forces. Odysseus is the perfect ancient hero to lead a modern war. His cunning and guile will allow him to adjust to a world of tactical nukes and spy work.

Charles Darwin- Introduced to a world of genetic engineering based on his Origin of Species, Darwin begins advising lower scientists on how to create the perfect human soldier.

Adam Warlock with the infinity Gauntlet: Snaps his fingers and we're in control of the world.


Duane Allman: Composes our new World Anthem.

Confucious: Dispenses Sage wisdom.
