Because I am a glutton for thematics, my gaming group and I try and pick heroes-villain-environment based on something thematic or at least with a story that makes sense to us. Then I noticed in the statistical compilation elsewhere in these forums that there are several other matches listed where people pick their teams-villain-environment thematically as well.
Because of this I figured it might be fun to post some thematic matchups..
Some of the ones we've done include:
Freedom Four: Legacy, Bunker, Tachyon, Wraith vs anyone (but mostly vs Baron Blade), in Megalopolis
Prime Wardens: Argent Adept, Tempest, Haka vs Akash'Bhuta, in anywhere
Rook City residents: Wraith, Expatriette, Mr Fixer vs Plague Rat or Operative, in Rook City or Pike Industrial
Femme Fetale: any female heroes vs anyone, in anywhere
Boy's Club: any male heroes vs anyone, in anywhere
Heavy Metal: Bunker, Absolute Zero, Unity vs anyone, in anywhere
Gods and Magic: Fanatic, Ra, Nightmist, Argent Adept vs Apostate or Ennead or Gloomweaver, in Temple of Anubis
How about others (or variations of ones already listed) that your group did or that you would like to do ?
