You have an interesting plot line going here, and I would very much like to see where you go with it. The only question I have is in regards to the costume choices. You said they were chosen based on the mystical power level of the Scoobies. Following this I kinda have to question the choices for Willow, Anya and Giles. I mean that Willow was shown in the series as being a mystical powerhouse, literally the only one that successfully hurt Glory, but giving her someone comparatively weak compared to Dr. Strange and Dazzler.
I can see Anya as Dazzler because you stated that she kept some of her power from her demon days. But giving Giles Dr. Strange just doesn't make any sense, Giles was never shown to have any real power when it came to magic. He was very knowledgeable about magic but he was never shown to be really powerful, I mean if I remember correctly the only spell he did unaided by another was when he summoned Anyanka in the Wishverse. Every other time he had the aid of either Willow, Amy, Jenny or Ethan, who were all shown to have mystical power at some level. If I'm wrong in this please tell me where because it's something I've been trying to look into for a story.

EDIT: I can see your point in that no one except Tara really knew how powerfull Willow was at this point.
I didn't mean that Syrin's power was weak just in comparison to Dazzler and Dr. Strange. I mean Dazzler is only limited by how much sound is in the area she's in and we all know how powerful Dr. Strange is.
But anyway it should be interesting to see where you go with this. Especially if you have Anya/Dazzler work with Willow/Syrin that combo would be excedingly devistating.

Glad you like my story and now I'll try to clarify a few things for you.

Alright Giles is going to be going with no costume as he has to perform the spell and explain things to the heroes as he said to Xander when he was offered a costume. And Xander suggested Dr. Druid, a much lower level sorcerer and former avenger than what Strange is. Xander suggested Strange, but he didn't actually get him the costume for that.

As for Siren being weak well I guess you could consider sonic screams weak, I thought that they were a rather useful power since it would give her an offesive ability since Glory can't move faster than sound. Willow might of had power at this time, but she still had very little control of her magic without Tara guiding her along. She was just on the verge of discovering her true potential and only Tara really understood just how powerful Willow was capable of being. It wasn't until after raisng Buffy that Willow became compentent enough with her magic to do serious things on her own. Then she was like a kid with a shiny new toy.

Nice work so far, looking forward to the next update

nice

Man, it'd suck if Spike got turned into the Marvel Zombies version of Iron Fist after he's bitten since he's undead.

Yeah it would, but it won't happen in this fic because I have never read a marvel zombies.

Personally, I'm hoping that Spike dusts from the combined magics of the spell and the Iron Fist - which if I remember correctly, was mystical in nature. Didn't like him as an ally to the Gang, didn't like him as a neutered vampire that they tolerated for whatever suicidal brain dead reasons they came up with... Really didn't like the whole Buffy's-a-necrophiliac Part 2 thing... But assuming he stays corporeal after the spell kicks in, the skills and training of the Iron Fist with his honor, as Xander points out, would be a major assist in the future. But once again, what about the demon inhabiting Spike's body and keeping it unDead? Demon dies, will Spike, now well over 100 years old, flash into accelerated aging, or what?

Be that as it may, the costumes are a good selection; Tigra, Wasp, and Cap are teammates, so they should - in theory - recognize one another and go back to back in the sudden transition from Where they were to Where they are. Siren, IIRC, is Banshee's daughter, raised and trained by Black Tom and Juggernaut, further trained by the X-Men... Not too shabby!

And, of course, the woman of the Hour - Shadowcat, complete with phasing abilities, Ninja skills further added to by Wolverine's training, and her own freakin' Dragon!!! How cool is that?!

Yeah I was never a large Spike fan myself and kept on wishing that he'd die already as well. Did feel kind of like same song different verse with the relationship thing.

You also forget that Siren was also a member of X-Force and trained by Cable.

Ah a fellow Shadowcat fan. So glad to hear from one. You forgot computer skills on par with Willow, trained in a half a dozen different languages some not of Earth, and trained in British intelligence methods by her ex boy friend. The Silver Samurai has said that she's possibly better with a sword than Wolverine. And you can't have Kitty without Lockheed.

intriguing

Some nice choices.You actually remembered Dr. Druid,I thought everyone had frogotten him(including the people at Marvel).
Would have liked to see one of the ladies as Storm,maybe too powerful'though I think Willow might have pulled it off.

Okay, good all around team, although I would have gone purely Avengers or purely X-men for the sake of trust and team continuity. That being said, Xander could have also considered Iron Man for an Avengers team, since Tony doesn't even have the super soldier serum going for him. All Tony has is his brain. Either way, this should work well. Although part of me wonders, with Anya being from that part of the world originally, if Giles might end up attracting the real Loki's attention instead/along with Janus'?

I think willow should have been Agatha Harkness.

nice start! I love Buffy / Superhero Scooby story. Like that you picked hero's from both marvel and dc. Love Xander as Superman, and Buffy as Supergirl. Any residual trace of the spell once it wears off would link then as family, which works. That is if you use Kara Zor-EL, Supergirl which is the current one, and the original one too. Anya as Wonder Woman can't wait to see that LOL. Giving an amazon's already untrusted feeling towards men, plus anya's scorned woman past *shudder* Shadowcats uncatchableness -i don't think thats a word- to Dawn's kidnapping speciality could be only of the good. Willow Pheonix hope you mean -post solar system eating insane being of mass power- tho Willow would have some history with that. Tara Wonder Girl, makes sense you does strike me as a second wave/ side kick girl. Both with enough power in her own right. Spike as Thor? Hmmmm I can see it kinda, wonder how the vampire will react to becoming a higher being/God.
Can't wait to read more!

Sorry the house of El will not rise in this fic. Although it would be a good story title that way if I was going for the S Family. I didn't pick folks with large power reserves for this one. Hope you keep reading it though.

this fiction had a good begin
i can wait to read the next chapter
i think xander must go like tony stark (alias iron man) because it is a personnage that can suit him
and the knowledge for iron tech can be a help for the team
i think that need giles like docteur strange, mr fantastic or charles xavier
buffy i think can go like rogue or ms marvel
tara like ororo (alias storm) from the xmen because she use magic from earth and his personnality is compatible
spike i think can go like blade or iron fist or spiderman or captain america (because they are both blond)
willow i think should go like the red witch or the witchblade (i think the second is better because the first was gone insane and died)
anya in the black cat

Low to medium power range is the name of this game my friend. No Strange, Ms. Marvel, Rogue, Scarlet Witch or anyone else with heavy power levels. One of your guesses is the right one though. Now you have to wait and wonder who it is. Ain't I mean?;}

With Spike's attitude, Xander might just go all in on his costume and dress him up as Peter Paul Wisdom.

It's a righteous fit, covert skills, the flame powers, the disrespect for the tights.. And a very protective attitude to one Shadowcat.

The fact that having sun-hot spikes at the ends of the fingers at will would quite likely leave him immune to daylight and fire as an after-effect would effectively double his worth as a gaurdian for Dawn if this plan takes too long..

Your right that would be good and Wisom isn't a power house either. To bad I already picked a costume for spike though. Wish I had thought of that one.

No high powered that should be interesting.

A good start, with the costumes I have Idea you may want to try have spike dress as Blade, anyway keep up the good work thanks and bye.

Interesting start. It is not often that the scoobies get to think of what they will become and you have a good reason for not overpowering them all. Pity that Dawn can't be green lantern, it would be one way to get her some power to protect herself. Some sentences were a bit hard to read though.

Glad you like it. For the bad sentences, I blame the police on search and siezure of my computer leaving me without a decent word processor. (Honest.) Bet you weren't expecting that were you?
