The various squads can be seen here, and if you see any team you think is particularly nifty, check out the Vote Thread and then give Log-Man some rep cause he works pretty hard to make this fun every year.

Background/History: From: http://marvel.com/universe/shamrock

 

Molly Fitzgerald's father was a fanatically militant Irish nationalist. When Molly was three years old, her father took her and her brother to the north Ireland mountainside as he asked the heavens to grant his son the power to strike down its enemies. Although nothing seemed to have happened, Molly found in her freshman year in college that she was the one who was blessed. She discovered she was surrounded with a protective aura that caused random improbabilities to manifest themselves on her behalf whenever she was in trouble. Rather than return to the war-torn mountains, she used her "good luck powers" to become Ireland's super heroine, Shamrock.

 

Fitzgerald's career as Shamrock remains largely unrevealed. At one point, she was transported alongside various other international heroes by the alien Grandmaster in order to participate in a so-called Contest of Champions, but she returned at the end of the encounter. Eventually, Fitzgerald began a career as a first-grade schoolteacher and abandoned her superhero activities in favor of building a better world through education.

 

When Molly's brother was killed in an IRA terrorist bomb blast, her father, long since estranged, asked her to come with him to the north Ireland mountainside once more. There, he drugged her and gave her to the criminal geneticist Arnim Zola in hopes that the mad scientist could duplicate Molly's powers and transfer them to her father. The process unleashed Molly's powers a thousand-fold, allowing her to escape, and Molly soon defeated Arnim Zola. Her father confronted her at gunpoint, frustrated that Molly would not use her powers in his militant quest. Unfortunately, Molly's powers defended her by making her father's gun explode in his hand, killing him. Molly Fitzgerald reluctantly returned to her former life and, presumably, her superhero career.

 

Molly, as Shamrock, attended the first ever Pan-European Conference on Super-Human Affairs as a representative for Ireland. The conference was attacked by the Nazi villain Brain Drain, who brainwashed the heroes present to return to their countries and kill the heads of state. Various members of Alpha Flight raced to stop the heroes, and Northstar hoped to stop Shamrock from attacking Ireland's president. However, her powers made her immune to Brain Drain’s influence, and the president was never in danger.

 

Molly finally took the opportunity to retire from crimefighting when she noticed her luck powers had finally run out-- she actually slipped and broke her left foot! She took up a new career as a hair stylist, soon becoming "the most sought-after hairdresser in all of Europe" and serving the likes of Shadowcat and Wolfsbane and Janet van Dyne.

 

 

Superdraft Additon: She regains her powers and writes and protect the Book of Kells according to the Guardians of the Galaxy series. So I had her powers returned here. She doesn't know she's immortal yet (hasn't writtent the books) and while her powers are the "Soulsof Innocents lost to War" one of them is Cuchulain...who as a warrior-demi-gog isn't exactly and innocent. But I split hairs.

 

Personality/Motivation: Molly is a responsible young woman who used her powers for the good of her fellow man from the get go. She has retired from crime fighting twice when her abilities have waned once because she felt she could do as much as an educator and once because ...I dont know what the F&$k marvel was thinking about with the hairdresser thing...

 

But her powers are back and so she's fixed the costuem and moved forward.

 

Quote: "I'm lucky to be alive."

 

Powers/Tactics: The bulk of her abilities are her "luck" powers which is actually the spirits of all who have died innocently in war possessing her. The spirits give her information (Lucky guesses) look out for her (accute senses) and protect her (defenses). They also warn her when to act (Lightnight Reflexes) and affect the battlefield in helpful ways (for her).

She has generic "luck" power as well.

 

She is also immortal (at least unaging).

 

Add to this she is an excellent (though clearly mortal) athlete and well versed in martial arts. Her Archaic and weapon abilities I have given her from Wolfhound's influence. She has been given a crash course in Avengers technology and vehicles.

 

Campaign Use:

 

Appearance: Molly Fitzgerald is a tall, well built young woman with red hair and green eyes.

As Shamrock she wears a green and white bodysuit with a shamrock insignia on her chest. The original costume had a green cowl, her new one leaves her hair free.

 

She briefly wore a more revealing costume that included cut-outs but that proved less suitable.

Nice write up, looking forward to the other ones (I'm really just posting here so I can see the green dot and find this thread again...

Normally though I'd just rep you, and wouldn't just post "Nice write up" because that doesn't really contribute to the thread, know what I mean? Okay shutting up now.)

With the first avenger being a total babe, sounds like a lecherous leprechaun will be needed. For comedy relief.

Kinda like Haposai in Ranma 1/2.

Background/History: (Celtic Legend) -

Cuchulain was born

around 540 AD to the sun-god Lugh and Deichtire, sister of King Conchobor of Ulster. She named him Sedanta and he proved himself to be of divine birth by defeating fifty youths in his uncle’s court. He earned the name of Cuchulain after slaying the watchdog that belonged to Culann the smith. As penance for its death, he had to take the place of the dog for twenty years and protect Culann from harm.

 

Cuchulain single-handedly protected Ulster from King Ailill and Queen Medhbha’s invading armies. Morrigan, Queen of the Celtic Gods, appeared in the battle in her form as the war-goddess and when Cuchulain refused to recognize her, she cursed him with madness. He tried to break the curse by eating the flesh of a dog which ended up weakening his godly endurance.

 

Realizing he was about to die, he tied himself standing to a pillar in order to die in battle standing up. Killed by Medhbha’s soldiers, Cuchulain was beheaded by his enemies.

 

AVENGERS DUBLIN HISTORY

Cuchulain was one of the spirits who protected Shamerock (why he was considered an innocent victim of war is fuzzy comic writing. I have no answer). Morgan Le Fey and fomori’s plans are discovered by Ian McNee and in an effort to protect Ireland, he uses a ritual to restore the powers of Molly Fitzgerald, aka Shamrock. In order to better protect her, and all of Ireland; he summoned one of the spirits protecting her, Cuchulain to the flesh.

An iconic Irish demigod hero, Cuchulain is recruited, along with his charge, into the Avengers team.

 

Personality/Motivation: Proud, self-reliant, and from a time where men were men and women were um...well...resources. Cuchulain has, of course, been somewhat toned down in the vein of Thor and Hercules...he's a fun loving brawler who values honor, friends, and the glory that is life and death struggle.

 

As an Avenger he's expected to follow the orders of the Falcon, which he feels is somewhat laughable. He does respect fellow immortals Sersi and Phastos and he feels very protective and is molified by Shamrock and thus will not be challenging the Falcon for leadership of the team any time soon. He respects warriors and those who fight superior foes quickly find him a friend.

 

His consciousness during the last few centuries as a spirt has given him a rudimentary knowledge of modern life and he doesn't attack automobiles or shout a phones expecting them to work. The Hound of Ulther does prefer the old ways ...but he's capable of adapting.

 

Cuchulain's relationship with Shamrock is a possible romantic one, but (unknown to her at this time) her fate to write and protect the Book of Kells is of great importance; and he will protect her above all else, including his own life. He occasionally smothers or patronizes her, but he's grown quite fond of her and her happiness means a great deal to him.

 

Quote: "Release the HOUND!!!"

 

Powers/Tactics: Superhuman phsysical specimin with a lifetime of archaic hand to hand and weapons combat. Cuchulain is a brawler par excellance. Swift and unrelentingly strong and durable, he has taken a less lethal stance, breaking out his sword and throwing stick (spear) only vs immortal foes.

 

Campaign Use: I always felt Cuchulain was created by Marvel because having Hercules protect the Book of Kells made little sense. But they're very similar characters.

 

Appearance: A tall, strikingly powerful, bearded man with red hair and green eyes. He wears blue and gold armor and green cloaks.

Background/History: From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siryn

 

While Sean Cassidy was working on a deep undercover mission for Interpol, his wife Maeve gave birth to their daughter, Theresa, at Cassidy Keep, County Mayo, Ireland. Not much later, Maeve died in an IRA bombing. With no means to contact Sean, his cousin Tom took care of Theresa. When Sean returned to learn of his wife's death, he was devastated. Before Tom could even tell him of the existence of his daughter, Sean lashed out at Tom with his sonic scream for not having taken better care of Maeve. While Sean flew away in anger, Tom fell into a chasm, breaking his leg as a result of the attack, which left him with a limp. Angrily, Tom swore to make Sean pay and vowed to never tell him about his daughter, raising her himself instead.

 

Tom (now known as Black Tom) would raise Theresa as his apprentice in his criminal activities. While still a young teen, Theresa accompanied Black Tom and his then-partner, the Juggernaut, to San Francisco to assist him in his crimes. Here, employing the name Siryn, she aided them in a theft of vibranium, and battled the original Spider-Woman and several of the X-Men. This conflict ended in Black Tom's temporary capture. While in custody, Black Tom exonerated Theresa of responsibility for her crimes and wrote a letter to Sean explaining who she was. The X-Men brought Theresa back to their headquarters, where she was joyfully reunited with her father

 

LOTS OF STUFF HAPPENED LATER

• Joining most of the X-Teams at one point
  
• A relationship with Warpath
  
• A relationship with Deadpool
  
• A relationship with Madrox the mutliple man resulting in a baby but due to the fact that it was a duplicate that slept with Theresa, the child was absorbed by Madrox
• when he held his 'son' for the first time.
  
• Death of her father, Banshee which she (probably reasonably) denied for a long time before taking his codename to honor him.
  

Just ugh.

The Avengers took her away from all that.

 

Personality/Motivation: Theresa is more strong-willed and determined than she has the right to be: Never new her mother, raised into a life of crime by her uncle, a recovering alchololic, more bad interpersonal relationships than you can shake a stick at, and the loss of her father...it has all taken its toll on her in the past.

 

But she is a hero, she soldiers on. Away from the 'Mutant Only' stomping grounds, she's representing her native Ireland as a member of the Avengers.

My version of Theresa is happy to be away from her old playpals in many ways but kind of lonely. She's latched on to Shamrock as her surrogate sister on the team and is actively avoiding romantic entanglements for the moment.

 

She worries that her nationality was more of a factor to her invitation than her abilities.

 

Quote:

 

Powers/Tactics: From: http://marvel.wikia.com/Theresa_Cassidy_(Earth-616)

 

Bansidhe possesses sonic powers similar to those of her father Banshee, although she is able to use her powers in ways that he apparently could not.

• Audiokinesis: ability to create various sonic effects through the combined action of her vocal cords and limited psionic powers which can only be used in conjunction with the sounds she produces.
  
• Sonic Scream: Bansidhe can cause her vocal cords to vibrate over a wide range of sonic frequencies and produce a volume of sound ranging up to at least 140 decibels. Bansidhe has thus the ability to shatter solid objects with a sonic scream
  
• Flight: Bansidhe can use the sonic vibrations of her scream as a carrier wave.
  
• Sonic Lance: By focusing her sonic vibrations while screaming into an intense beam. This is used as a sort of "battering ram" that can stun or even destroy most solid objects.
  
• Sonar[/b[: can use her sonic powers as a form of sonar. By sending out a precise, pure note and listening to the returning, altered wave front of the note, she can evaluate her surroundings in total darkness with varying degrees of resolution.
  
• Sonic Null Field: can project a field of silence in a area making no sound reach outside the area or no sound outside the area in.
  
• Sonic Amplification: can amplify sound carrier waves allowing her to hear conversations or noises from far off.
  
• Sonic Shield: can tighten sound waves around herself or others near her, making a barrier against outside attack.
  
• Vocal Disorientation: ability to change someone’s balance, by affecting their equilibrium using her sonic scream.
  
• Vocal Trance: ability to subtly influence peoples subconscious mind by changing the tones and vibrations of her voice using sonics, the effects tend towards blatant hypnosis
  
• Vocal Unconsciousness: ability to affect the fluid in someone’s ear causing the person to go unconscious.
  
• Siren's Song: ability to influence human beings with a certain pitch of her voice, causing them to fall in love with her without regard to gender or sexual orientation.
  
• Sound Immunity: Bansidhe's hearing and equilibrium are unaffected by the effects of her scream and similar abilities.
  
• Superhuman Vocal Stamina: Her vocal cords are tremendously strong, so that she can produce sonic effects through screaming constantly for hours at a time without noticeably tiring or injuring her vocal apparatus. Bansidhe’s vocal cords and the interiors of her throat and mouth are also superhumanly tough, so that the intense pressures and constrictions that she produces do not cause her any injury.
  

In addition to her powers, Bansidhe has a rather extensive career for someone her age. She has X-Men training, was raised by her uncle Black Tom Cassidy to be a supercriminal, and has turned that around into an investigation skill set. Most of the sites I could find also said she had leaderhship qualities.

 

Campaign Use:

 

Appearance: Bansidhe is a pretty young Irish lass with classic features, she's currently dying her hair blonde to stand out among the number of redheads on her team. Her costume has always been remeniscent of her father's but she's decided to ditch the multiple colors and go with a flattering and slightly archaic green outfit with cloak.

Re: Avengers: Dublin Assemble!

 

Oh hey, to the readers of this thread, as you my know from my past, Point Totals don't matter to me, but my 6e fu is limited to what I've gleaned from HD so far (bad HERO gamer!) and while the books need to wait until I once again find employment I'd like to know I'm "doing it right." is the Unified power limitation appropriate for a Multipower? Or does the framework already have a similar inherent limitation?

 

Thanks for your time and viewing.

[Haerandir]

Re: Avengers: Dublin Assemble!

 

Just did a quick scan of my rulebook, and it looks kosher:

 

Per Unified Power: "Unless the GM rules otherwise, characters can apply Unified Power to any game element, including any Power, slots in Power Frameworks and even Characteristics."

 

Adjustment powers, as a general rule, have to be used against individual slots in a framework unless they've got an Advantage that lets them reduce multiple powers simultaneously, so Unified is a meaningful limitation.

Background/History: From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falcon_(comics)

 

Samuel Thomas Wilson was born in Harlem, New York City, to Darlene Wilson, and Paul Wilson, a prominent minister. Wilson has a happy childhood and finds he has a natural affinity for birds. He takes up training pigeons, and has the largest pigeon coop in Harlem. In his teens, however, encounters with racism leave him jaded. When he is 16, Wilson refuses to join the church, believing his deeply religious parents to be ignorant for their faith. To his surprise, rather than put up a fight, his parents provide him with books on different religions and comparative theology. The next night, however, Sam's father is killed trying to break up a neighborhood fight. Two years later, his mother is shot and killed by a mugger one block from their apartment. Consumed by grief and "angry at the world" Sam turns his back on his past as a respected community volunteer. He moves to Los Angeles and creates a new persona: "Snap" Wilson, a professional criminal, gang member, and pimp.

 

While "Snap" is on his way to "a big score in Rio de Janeiro", his plane crashes on Exile Island (years later, he would say "I actually loved this place quite a bit. It's where I met my two best friends," referring to Captain America and Redwing). The once-peaceful island had been taken over by the Exiles, a group of would-be world conquerors who had collaborated with the Nazi supervillain the Red Skull during World War II. More recently, they had been betrayed by the Red Skull, and were forced to remain in hiding on the island, enslaving the natives. Wilson finds and befriends Redwing, a falcon which he feels a remarkably strong bond with.

 

The Red Skull uses the Cosmic Cube, a creation that allows its user to alter reality, to mentally fuse Wilson with Redwing, creating a "super-normal mental link" that would, with time and concentration, give Wilson broad powers over all birds.

 

Next, the Skull uses the Cube to rewrite the past and remove the years Wilson had spent angrily living as "Snap". In this new history, Wilson was an upright and cheerful social worker who is eventually lured to the Exiles' island and organizes the natives to fight for their freedom. Steve Rogers (Captain America) befriends him there and convinces Wilson to adopt a persona to inspire the natives in their rebellion. The two create the costumed persona the Falcon, and train together extensively before attacking and defeating the Exiles and the Red Skull.The Falcon becomes Captain America's regular partner in crime-fighting, and briefly even takes on the Captain America costume and identity when Rogers is believed to have been killed.

 

Later, again as the Falcon, Wilson receives help from the Black Panther, who creates a harness for Wilson, allowing him to fly. When Rogers briefly abandons his Captain America identity, others attempt to take up the mantle, including a young man named Roscoe whom the Falcon mentors. When the Red Skull eventually kills Roscoe, Rogers again becomes Captain America.

 

Soon afterward, the Red Skull reveals the Falcon's true past as "Snap" Wilson, and unsuccessfully attempts to use the Cosmic Cube to make the Falcon kill Captain America. Now aware of his past but deciding to continue as a hero, the Falcon is eventually named head of the Super Agents at the espionage agency S.H.I.E.L.D..

 

US government superhero liaison Henry Peter Gyrich then recruits the Falcon, one of the few active African-American superheroes, to fill a mandated racial quota for the venerable team the Avengers. Resentful of being a "token", the Falcon quits at the first opportunity. He debuts a new costume when he fights the supervillain Taskmaster.

 

Eventually, a new team of Avengers is assembled to fight the international menace Scorpio. Afterwards, the United Nations offers to make this new team of Avengers an international peacekeeping agency. Having been called on for his talent, and not for the color of his skin, Falcon decides to stay as a member of this Avengers team. By this point, Falcon had discovered that he could extend his telepathic bond with Redwing, allowing him to control other birds and "see" through their eyes. He uses this ability to spy on Henry Gyrich (now the Avengers' liaison with the United Nations) and discovers that the United States' Secretary of Defense, Senator Dell Rusk, has been pressuring Gyrich to spy on the Avengers and turn over their secrets. Although initially hostile to one another, Falcon convinces Gyrich to help the Avengers spy on Rusk, feeding him false information while gathering evidence to expose him. They discover that Rusk is actually the Red Skull, who has launched a biological weapon attack on America, intending to use the ensuing panic to gain control over America's government and start a war with other countries. Falcon is instrumental in defeating the Red Skull.

 

It is around this period of time that, a new "Captain America" secretly created by the Office of Naval Intelligence (O.N.I.) goes rogue and begins eliminating anything and anyone he sees as a source of terrorism. To draw this agent (dubbed "The Anti-Cap") out, O.N.I. leaks information about their involvement in a biological weapons project with the notorious Rivas Family, powerful Cuban drug lords. Reporter and Social Activist Leila Taylor investigates this rumor and attempts to smuggle a sample of the virus into America, but she is arrested by U.S. forces in Cuba. Falcon, who is a friend of Taylor, breaks her out of prison and investigates her claims, destroying the Rivas Family's biological weapons lab and obtaining a sample of the mysterious virus they were developing for O.N.I. Falcon is able to fly Leila back to America (although his flying harness is destroyed in a hurricane) while Captain America follows Falcon's directions and retrieves the virus sample.

 

The Anti-Cap kills the head of the Rivas family, and pursues Leila, Falcon, and Cap, intent on obtaining the virus sample. After reuniting, Falcon and Captain America are able to barely defeat the Anti-Cap. Realizing that O.N.I.'s goal was to draw out their rogue agent to execute him, Captain America arranges to have the Anti-Cap be secretly imprisoned in the Wakandian embassy, until O.N.I. agrees not to kill him.

 

Since Captain America and Falcon now possess both O.N.I.'s rogue agent and the last remaining sample of O.N.I.'s virus, O.N.I. begins to put increasing amounts of pressure on the heroes. Falcon is especially targeted - he had broken Leila out of Federal Custody, and his criminal history makes it easier for O.N.I. to create further false charges against him. Falcon soon finds himself on the run from O.N.I.

 

Meanwhile the superheroine the Scarlet Witch, having gone insane, begins using her powers to recreate many of the Avengers' greatest trials and tragedies. She destabilizes the Falcon's mind, causing him to act increasingly like his "Snap" persona. He begins carrying a gun, keeps secrets from his friends, assaults Leila's boyfriend Norman when he protests they go into hiding, and uses a high power rifle to shoot at his friend Joseph "Robbie" Robertson (to fool Robbie into thinking O.N.I. was threatening to kill him). Although they succeed in exposing the illegal activities of O.N.I. and clear Wilson's name, Sam's methods cause his relationship with Captain America to become strained. Cap confronts Falcon about his recent actions, and Falcon, angered at what he sees as an ultimatum terminates their partnership. As they are walking away, Norman (who blames Falcon for the end of his relationship with Leila) appears and shoots at Falcon. Captain America is seriously injured by the stray bullets, and even appears to die. The shock of watching his best friend seemingly die because of his actions has a powerful affect on Sam, who briefly gives up being Falcon and reexamines his life.

Avengers Dublin:

(Ignoring the Civil War) Sam takes the command of the Avengers Dublin franchise as a favor to Cap and to give the team a veteran Avenger.

 

Personality/Motivation: Sam Wilson is a dedicated do-gooder and not in any way ashamed of it. Though his initial run with the Avengers was due to a poorly concieved affirmative action program, he agreed to a subsquent run. Though he misses New York, he feels his current job is important. He's a first class hero and a man of action.

 

Despite being the leader of the Dublin team, he understands he's the odd man out and dealing with some incredibly powerful allies who might not take his position seriously preferring to go off on their own. To this end he seeks to develop the leadership qualities of both Bansidhe and Shamrock...both who have a bit more pull with the locals and (in Shamrock's case) with the immortals in the group. Fortunately he knows he can count on thier support.

 

Quote:

 

Powers/Tactics: Realizing he's not the team's strongest combatant, Falcon is more than content to use his mobility and sensors to act as a field commander. He won't back down from a fight, but he also knows he's not going to go around punching giants in the shin to much effect. He keeps mobile.

 

He stays airborne when he can and when not directing his troops he'll swoop in and use some passing strikes, or perhaps use his talon to pull some targets off balance.

 

Campaign Use:

 

Appearance: A large, imposing man with the build of an athlete, Sam Wilson tend sto dress in business casual clothing when not acting in his heroic identity.

As the falcon, he wears a white battle suit with red designs and a white face mask. His hair and mouth are uncovered.

Background/History: From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sersi

 

Sersi is a fourth generation member of the Eternals, an evolutionary offshoot of the human race. Sersi is the daughter of the Eternals Helios and Perse, and was probably born in Olympia, Greece, some time after the Great Cataclysm that destroyed the continents of Atlantis and Lemuria, during an extended ice age known as the Hyborean Age. At a young age, Sersi differed from her fellow Eternals in her desire to live amongst humans. It was during her time in ancient Mesopotamia that Sersi first met Captain America, who had traveled back in time. While Sersi still had the appearance of a child at this time, she was already thousands of years old.

 

A few thousand years later, Sersi was based in ancient Greece, where she met the poet, Homer. Homer would later write one of the earliest works in Western literature, The Odyssey. The character Circe, who lived on an island in the Aegean called Aeaea, and turned the hero Odysseus' men into pigs, was based on Sersi.

 

It was Sersi, under the name of Circe, who imprisoned the imps in Pandora's Box in ancient times. Unlike the majority of her fellow Eternals, who stay in their hidden cities, Sersi revels in her humanity, and has lived amongst humans more than any other Eternal, save the Forgotten One. Thus, it is no surprise to find that Sersi has lived in various places of historical importance, from Nero's Rome, to Camelot, the Court of the legendary King Arthur, where she helped Merlin the magician to defeat an impostor who had usurped his position. Sersi fought alongside Thor in the Viking Siege of Paris, although he was not aware of this. She has been a dancer, actress, stage magician, hedonist, and adventurer.

 

 

AVENGERS Dublin additions:

Not much, she was asked to return and accepted, bringing Phastos with her.

 

Personality/Motivation: Sersi is something of an anomaly amongst her fellow Eternals in that she loves hanging out with the mortals. She's been a mischievous partaker of history sometimes swinging far more to the immoral than what is popularly held as proper for the period, but for all this she cares for humanity.

 

She can be vain, fickle, hedonistic, and prone to fits of angst (as immortal are wont to) but by and large she's full of joie de vivre and a staunch ally of Earth's defenders.

 

Quote:

 

Powers/Tactics: Sersi has the standard Eternals suite of Powers, though she specializes in Matter Manipulation (Champions Powers Book or the Until Superpowers Databases for 5th Ed Fans) provide plenty of abilities for her. Her VPP is large allowing her a lot of creative uses but unless it's a matter-manipulation trick she's limited to 75 active pts. This is not too much of a limitation as the Matter Control is a big umbrella.

 

If it is intended to affect ED (Disintigration Excepted) or Mental Defense, it's not a Matter Attack and limited to 75 pts.

 

In addition, she's a natural psionic and capable of Telekinetic and Telepathic stunts including Mental Blasts and Mind Control.

 

Campaign Use: She apparently took Jan's role of "Avengers Socialite" when she was on the team and would be perfect in this role for the Dubliners.

Appearance: Sersi is a beautiful woman of indeterminate (and occasionally fluctuating) ethnicity. Most of the time she appears to be Mediterranean. She has black hair and blue eyes. As a matter manipulating fashionista, she's had almost as many looks as Wasp, but she does seem to go for and edgier look.

 

Her favorite uniform colors are green. But she's also done red and black with a jacket (cause it gets cold I guess).
