Maggie's A-Team

I love and adore hypothetical situations. I frequently play “Marry, Sleep with, Kill”, I spend a large amount of my life reading and writing fanfictions, and I have such fun watching fan videos of AU ships and slasher couples on YouTube (fangirl squeal!). That is why I, as you can imagine, have long contemplated my hypothetical life and how naturally in many cases the very fate of mankind rests on my shoulders.

The best of these is the age old question, “If you had form a team to save the world who would be in it?” It is after all a fantastic question. You must take in all factors. How would the team get along? Who would be the leader? What exactly would they be fighting against (Ninjas, Zombies, Asteroids, Daleks, Satan, Miley Cyrus, ect.)? And how would they defeat said threat? Is it possible for one member to be TOO powerful?

Well after severe contemplation I believe I have at last created a force of good which, under my leadership, can face any evils of the coming Apocalypse. Excluding of course the obvious choices of Chuck Norris, Mr. T, and Jesus, I am left with a mythical nerd A-Team of sorts with specific skills made to conquer. You can argue and say that the team would never work in practice with the characters present, however I beg to differ.

High King Peter Pevensie (The Chronicles of Narnia) - Peter was my first choice naturally because not only is he my husband, but he is also a born leader and skilled swordsman. He spent years as the High King not only looking over his beloved country, but also as a brother and husband looking after his family. He defeated both The White Witch and King Miraz, and is used to supernatural evils as well as human ones. With his sword and his pure heart he is a fantastic addition to any team.

Michael Corvin (The Underworld Trilogy) - Michael is one of the many descendants of the original immortal Alexander Corvinus, and the only ever hybrid of a vampire and werewolf. Along with his mate Selene he has defeated some of the oldest vampires to ever exist as well as the very first werewolf. His strength and killing abilities are unparallel once he transforms himself into his beastly alter ego at will. And although he has a thirst for blood, he also has an urge to perform for the greater good.

The Doctor (Doctor Who) – The Doctor is known to many as the last timelord and winner of Survivor: Gallifrey. He has traveled for many years with various female companions saving the world multiple times in his flying TARDIS. Among his many advantages he can never truly die, but only regenerate into a new being. He also has a severe love for humanity and refuses to kill beings, but rather studies them and attempts to spread reason and peace.

Dr. Sam Beckett (Quantum Leap) – Doctor Samuel Beckett is the original creator of the project known as Quantum leap, a theory stating one could time travel within his own lifetime. Under the authority of God and with the assistance of his friend Al (appearing as a hologram) and “ziggy” (an information super computer) he traveled through time and various lives righting things that once went wrong. He has a flawless moral code and a severe intelligence that will prove valuable.

William Pratt “Spike” (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) – Spike is everyone’s favorite anti-hero from Sunnydale, California. A former romantic poet and then killing machine, now lovable yet cocky vampire with a soul. His strength, street smarts, and approximately 200 years of experience make him a raw killing machine. However his love for Buffy Summers and the gain of his soul has caused him to save the world more than once.

The dynamic of this hypothetical team is undeniable. None of them are from the same fandom, none of them are gods or godlike, and none of them are neutral or just love to kill. They all have their own experience to bring to the table as well as fighting abilities. And although they are also all used to being the leader of the pack, each and every one of them have also at one point worked in pairs or teams. They are also all male and mostly in some sort of relationship, therefore will not be distracted from the task at hand (which is to save humanity).

So I hope it is comforting for you all to know that if ever we are all in mortal danger all you have to do is call on me to bring a king, a hybrid, a timelord, a quantum physicist, and a vampire together. Easy as pie.
