Description
It's just me taking the character classes from D&D and putting some appropriate characters into them. I'll list them, explain the choice and list other possible candidates. So now that we've got that out of the way...

Barbarian - Hulk: They are both big, bad, rage-fuel tanks. I don't thing there's any other way to explain it. Can't think of another Candidate, but they are also probably a Hulk.

Bard - Dazzler: No explanation needed. She IS a Bard. (no other candidates.)

Cleric - Shaman: This was a hard one, but since he's a Native American holyman AND a Doctor, he does fill the requirments for a cleric. I would guess I could also put Brother Voodoo in this role.

Druid - Storm. Even though there IS a Marvel character named "Druid" I felt Storm has that whole "nature goddesses" thing going for her... Plus I like Ororo. If you've got someone better, I'm all ears.

Fighter - Thor (though, honestly, we could've put NUMEROUS characters in this role)

Monk - Iron Fist: Like Dazzler is a Bard, Iron Fist IS a Monk. Perfect fit.

Paladin - Captain America: He may not have all of a paladin's abilities, but he does have the mindset to play this part. I don't know who else I'd cast, but I'm willing to hear suggestions.

Psionicist - Psylocke: This is one that needs some justification. Professor X is more powerful, but he's more of an NPC type. Jean Grey's a Force of Nature - again, an NPC type. And Emma Frost... well, she's not well suited to this party. So I gave the part to Betsy.

Ranger - Wolverine: Another that needs explaining, but I think you'll see why I chose him over Hawkeye. Fight and foremost RANGERS AREN'T ARCHERS! Yes, many use the bow, but it hardly defines the class. Two of the more famous rangers of fiction, Aragorn and Drizzt, are more noted for their swords than their bows. Hawkeye is actually a Fighter - a man who is an expert with his chosen weapon. What defines a Ranger is his ability to track, survive in the wilderness, adeptness at fighting specific types of foes and fighting with a weapon in each hand. Now, doesn't that sound like Wolverine? I suppose I could've put Ka-zar or X-23 in this position as well.

Rogue - Gambit: Yep. Even though there is a character NAMED Rogue, she is less suited to the role than her boyfriend Gambit, who is perfect for the part, though I'd say Black Widow or even Jubilee would make good Rogues (though Rogue would make a terrible Rogue.) Hope I cleared that up.

Sorcerer - Scarlet Witch: It was tough choosing between the last two, but I cast Wanda as my Sorcerer. Her magic seems more primal and chaotic than the next entry's and so I gave her the nod. I would've also considered Magick, but decided against it.

Wizard - Doctor Strange: Since the Scarlet Witch was the Sorceror, that left the role of Wizard to Doctor Strange. This is another one that is open to any TRAINED magic user, but hey, why not pick the best?

Do you agree with my picks. And if not, who would you choose for Marvel's D&D Mega-party?
