It took a whole to build them up but by the end or the third round at worst I wasn't having much trouble picking things off.  Typically tried to use Silver  Gulch to my advantage to take out lower health villain targets.

When I was fighting Dawn with Unity, I generally tried to keep one citizen at low each HP or bring out Bee Bot as Kraken insurance.

Finally added in some stats. If anybody wants me to track something else, just say so.

Considering it's all I did, I gave AZ/Leg/Haka the name "Stall for Haka".

Haka is hungry. With Unity and The Visionary, they are Part of a Complete Breakfast.

Haka may or may not have eaten golems and decoy projections for breakfast.

Absolute Zero, Legacy, and Ra (through much effort, a few loses, and a plethora of fire damage) defeated Baron Blade, Omnitron, and Cosmic Omnitron and earned the name "That's not burn cream!"

Aaagh! Someone sniped the one I spent hours trying to do. "That's not burn cream!" is pretty good, though.

I don't think Ronway has heavily participated in this.  At least that's what I assume

With Grand Warlord Voss, Mad Bomber Blade, and Omnitron taken care Fanatic and Tempest help Haka teach his kindergarten class that, like the number five, "Three is a Prime Number."  The children are left wonder what a prime number is.

Is it boring that Legacy is my favorite character?

Anyway. Legacy, Absolute Zero and Tachyon teamed up as... "Fast Acting Extra Strength Icy Hot" against Baron, Voss and Ambuscade.

Sadly I have not. A mixture of things is causing my lack of participation in this event: I have been busy (you may have noticed my overall posting activity has dropped within the last few months), can't think of a team names, and enjoy playing random so much it is hard to set down and play as 3 of the same heroes in a series of games.

Aaaand I'm-a "Chargin' mah LAZUs!" with Absolute Zero, Legacy and Unity.

Hot damn they had some difficulties with Baron Blood. And Grand Warlord Voss was all luck. But Ambuscade was a cakewalk.

 

Only 34 more Legacy teams to go! Gonna just chug through those...

I think, you, me, and eviltoon have put in the most names. Eviltoon I think is leading with number of team names contributed.

Take Fanatic, the Wraith, Unity

And Ra, Tempest, and lastly AZ

My new joke is here

Check where they all appear

to learn how to keep an idiot busy

 

 

(Actually, the teams were AZ, Fanatic, and Unity, and Ra, Tempest, and Wraith, but that didn't rhyme as well.)

 

Also, Pydro, you need to update the sheet.  I think that when you added the new teams, you forgot to extend the formulas for the name column.

AZ, Bunker, and Mr Fixer combined forces as Slow and steady wins the race.   They managed to defeat Voss, Spite, and Ambuscade.   Let me tell you this was probably one of the more frustrating teams.   Often I found myself being unable to deal with Ongoings and that made attempted matches against Plague Rat and Blade result in losses.  Honestly, Mr Fixer was typically my most effective hero but he also ended up the first to die a lot too.

Introducing Team Two Equals Zero: featuring "Sucker Punch" Tachyon, "Wrathful Gaze" Ra, and Mister "Tire Iron" Fixer. Those last two hit points are for chumps! Handily taking down Baron Blade, Plague Rat, and Citizen Dawn. Sadly wasn't quite able to pull off the "defeat on Powered By The Sun" side. Next time!

Not all heroes have a natural advantage. Some have to struggle, to strive, to survive. Those who put themselves in harms way against the forces that terrorize this planet, knowing that the only things standing between them and their doom are their wits and their skills are truly Beyond Human Limits.

 

(Expat, Fixer, and Wraith, for the as the no powers team. Fun fact: The last game with them was actually won by the police backup, for extra flavor!)

BULLET HELL: (Grandpa) Legacy, Visionary, and Expatriette. Legacy gives Expatriette more powers, Visionary gives Expatriette more cards (her greatest weakness), and Expatriette loads, reloads, and unloads her many many guns into her many, many enemies. Villains defeated include Cosmic Omnitron, Mad Bomber Baron Blade, and the Chairman because SOMEBODY had to.

Let's see if we can finish this off. From now on, you only have to win 1 game with thr team to name it. That still leaves 191 games yet to be played!

The form still requires three villains to be chosen.

Time to catch up on the badly named teams I've formed 
Haka, Mr. Fixer, and Wraith combined forces for Ancient Kung Fu to take down the Plague Rat
Haka, Mr. Fixer, and Visionary used the Power of Mind and Fist to trample Plague Rat
Haka, Mr. Fixer, and Ra started a Grease fire to take down Plague Rat
Expatriette, Mr. Fixer, and Unity are the Tinkerers who took down Mad Bomber Blade
Expatriette, Mr. Fixer, and Tempest used a lot of Gun recovery to take down Citizen Dawn
Expatriette, Mr. Fixer, and Tachyon are Speedy Blind Justice and they took Plague Rat down a notch
Expatriette, Mr. Fixer, and Ra discovered Fire is Blind against Grand Warlord Voss
Expatriette, Tachyon, and Tempest used AOE are us to take down Grand Warlord Voss and his minions

I actually like Ancient Kung Fu. AOE are us is also good, but I already named a team the AOE brigade. Tempest is in both teams. Maybe they can do a future crossover event.

Whew. Finally did all the Legacy ones.

 

Unity is pretty frustrating on his teams: you end up with two people doing slow-build-up utility support.

Fanatic, Visionary, and Mr. Fixer teamed up as the Knights Radiant.  (Although Visionary didn't actually deal any radiant damage to Citizen Dawn).  Eventually, Omnitron-X and the Scholar will be invited to join their team, but that may be some time in coming.
