Mystic Avengers – A mashup team combining mystical heroes like Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch, and Wong with classic Avengers. Signals magic‑meets‑might.
The Internationals – A global team of heroes representing different countries and cultures, emphasizing diversity and worldwide protection.
Kangabolic – A team centered around Kang the Conqueror, blending his name with “anabolic” to suggest unstoppable power and time‑twisting dominance.

What makes a great Marvel custom team name?
-
Marvel identity: Uses character names, powers, items, or locations from the MCU/comics.
-
Tone fit: Heroic, villainous, comedic, or epic depending on your roster.
-
Memorability: Short, punchy, and thematic—easy to recall and chant.
-
Originality: Avoids direct copies of canon teams unless you’re doing a reboot/sequel concept.
Pro tip: Think about your team’s core identity—Are they street‑level? Cosmic? Mystic? Anti‑heroes?—then build the name around that anchor.
The Marvel naming formula
Combine two or three elements:
-
Marvel concept: Infinity, Multiverse, Vibranium, Mjolnir, Gamma, Symbiote
-
Team archetype: Avengers, Defenders, Guardians, Brigade, Squadron, Collective
-
Tone modifier: Dark, Mystic, Quantum, Secret, Elite, Reborn

| [Character Trait] + [Archetype] | Mystic Avengers | Hybrid mashup |
| [Wordplay/Pun] | Maw and Order, Kangabolic | Clever humor |
| [Item/Artifact] + [Group] | The Vibranium Vanguard | Iconic object |
