Spoiler: Spider-Man

Spider-Man

is a fictional superhero created by writer-editor Stan Lee and writer-artist Steve Ditko. He first appeared in the anthology comic book Amazing Fantasy #15 (Aug. 1962) in the Silver Age of Comic Books. He appears in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, as well as in a number of movies, television shows, and video game adaptations set in the Marvel Universe. In the stories, Spider-Man is the alias of Peter Parker, an orphan raised by his Aunt May and Uncle Ben in New York City after his parents Richard and Mary Parker died in a plane crash. Lee and Ditko had the character deal with the struggles of adolescence and financial issues, and accompanied him with many supporting characters, such as J. Jonah Jameson, Harry Osborn, Max Modell, romantic interests Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane Watson, and foes such as Doctor Octopus, the Green Goblin and Venom. His origin story has him acquiring spider-related abilities after a bite from a radioactive spider; these include clinging to surfaces, superhuman strength and agility, and detecting danger with his "spider-sense." He then builds wrist-mounted "web-shooter" devices that shoot artificial spider-webbing of his own design.

This one took a while, but I'm finally satisfied with the team I came up for this one.

Yang Wen-Li, a former officer in the Free Planets Star Fleet (The Alliance Fleet) and was considered one of the greatest admirals in human history. He was a simple man that didn't have any great ambitions to follow and is a firm believer of democracy. When he was younger he had an interest in history, after his father's death and his father's artwork collection being found as fakes he was left with no money and unable to attend a school he wanted to go to; instead enrolling in a military academy to help further his education. After his graduation though he was considered average, but despite what his grades showed he was actually lacking interest not intellect. He has an extensive military career up until his retirement; there is more involving him returning in uniform after his arrest and up to his emotional death, but it would be lengthier and a bit too extensive to describe in shorter detail lol:

Oh wait we're making teams based on characters?

I made one for Jotaro Kujo from JoJo years ago but I forgot what I picked for him. Mostly Fighting- and Water-types though

 

[KJNanika]

And now I actually came up with a team for a JoJo, and made a custom overworld sprite to go with it

Spoiler: Jolyne

View attachment 144870

I could also see her having a Seviper for some reason

Ken Kaneki, a former human turned half-ghoul hybrid after almost being killed by a ghoul named Rize. At first he was a timid and shy young man who loved to read novels, after becoming a half-ghoul he goes through an existential crisis and ponders over his moralities over his new ghoulish nature and instincts. After he gets tortured by Yamori his hair becomes completely white and his nails become black, which he sports for most of the series until his new identity as Haise Sasaki (long story short and simple, it's a situation where he actually lost his memories for a time and thus becomes this new persona), where his hair starts having black streaks from the top of his head and he wears the standard ghoul investigator attire. His appearance changes again throughout, but I don't want to keep posting more than three images for him. Some minor context for a part of his team wherein he has an alias called centipede/dragon, and it's another long explanation lol:

[Tactician Karina]

Ginro, the younger brother of Kinro and a guard of the Kingdom of Science. He is a young man that lacks courage and constantly tries to avoid any work given to him, he also has a tendency to be lazy. He also has a side of him that can be considered scummy, wherein he'll do a job or participate in something if it means he can impress girls, he also generally focuses on the superficial aspects when it comes to romance. Despite this, he genuinely cares for his friends and will help them if needed, regardless if the situation is dangerous. He also has skills in physical abilities with high stamina, and average spearmanship; though he's not as great compared to his brother:
