    Let me go over what I have.
     
    The setting is Cleveland, Ohio. It's up on the Great Lakes which is the stomping grounds of the Great Lake Avengers. Mr. Immortal was their founder and team leader at one point. His main power is to come back to life whenever he is killed. It's possible that events in Cleveland would have drawn his attention.
     
    Mister E was a detective that investigated minor monsters and Scooby scams with his secretary and his assistant. He claimed that he could see the good and bad in people even though he was blind. No real name given. No other powers shown. For some reason, Neal Gaimon gave him time travel and future sight so he could kill Tim Hunter at the end of the universe, but I am going back to the original low key monster hunter.     
     
    The Femme Fatale is retired super criminal turned adventurer Modesty Blaise. While she doesn't commit planned crimes like she used to, she does mix it up against other criminals and organizations with the help of her assistant Willie Garvin. Basically she was Red Reddington before there was ever a Blacklist.
     
    I picked the Creeper as my brawler since DC has decided that Jack Ryder can't hold a job because they made him a split personality. Essentially he is the Kolchak of the DCU, moving from job to job, city to city because he ticks people off, and then they declared that every time he becomes the Creeper, he is high on drugs so he has no control over what he is doing. So working in Cleveland is just the newest thing for Ryder.
     
    I don't know why I picked Usagi Tsukino, Sailor Moon except that she was a reincarnation of a moon princess from a moon kingdom and punishes monsters in the name of the Moon. Vacationing in Cleveland might be because of a warning being sent out to her advisors.
     
    The Big Bad is the Kingpin. His position as the ruler of the New York underworld means that he has probably dealt with Modesty Blaise and the Creeper at some point. It gives him the wherewithal to hire Captain Boomerang and move him from Central City, Kansas to Ohio. And he has been revealed to be using the Tracksuit Mafia as his lower level gangsters to get things done. So what's in Cleveland that could attract his attention and cause a slew of random strangers to team up against him?
     
    I am stating as part of the draft that Fisk has heard of the Pillars of New York under Manhattan. The story is that the island is held up by columns deep below the city and if anything should happen to them, the island will sink into the ocean and rivers. Maybe Fisk has actually seen these columns, or come across proof when Graviton lifted New York into the air. I think my missing piece is that Fisk has heard about a similar thing in Cleveland and has decided to see if he can blackmail the city over it.
     
    I think my last piece is going to be the Cleveland Hellmouth from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
     
    That's a long winded thing there.
     
    I still need a title. I always have problems with the titles. Maybe Great Lakes Sailor Scouts will do.

    I trust DC to make a good superhero movie much like Corwin of Amber trusts his family.
     
    Which is to say, not at all.

    I need a big bad my heroes can take on without getting smeared, and that Captain Boomerang would work for without major problems. I am going to pick Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin, as my big bad.

    Even as someone who doesn't plan their draft, this kind of threw me. I think I am going with the original Captain Boomerang for my dragon since he always seems to be taking orders from Cold for the Rogues, and whomever gets put in charge of the Suicide Squad.
     
    (He used to be a great planner when dealing with the Flash, but when Ostrander put him on the SS, he lost all that and became a backstabbing weasel.)
