You’ve been chosen to save the world by infiltrating the secret island base of a super villian who is holding the world ransom with a doomsday device! You may select any three people to accompany you on this task. You and your team will be delivered to the island, but after that it’s up to you! The base is sure to be guarded by armed henchmen, and possibly robots!
The rules:
Your team members can be selected from any real or fictional human beings.
No super natural people or powers! Keep the team *somewhat *plausible.
No non-existent weapons or technology!
My picks:
Rambo - He’s a one-man-army! Plus if things get dicey, he’s pretty good with a knife!
Bruce Lee - He can kick so fast they’ll never see it coming! Also, he does that “Wooo” thing which is mighty intimidating!
MacGyver - He can cook up one hell of a diversion with just a paper clip and a stick of gum! His no-gun policy might rub Rambo the wrong way though…
Okay, so who would your elite action team consist of?
•James Bond (He’d be handicapped in the Q-gadgets, but I think he could still do it.)
•Frank “The Punisher” Castle
•Otto Skorzeny
I considered Batman, but a) I didn’t know if you’d consider him “realistic,” and b) I don’t trust him. He’d probably let the supervillain escape so he could fight him again, or let the superweapon go off rather than kill one terrorist henchman. (Maybe the Batman from the first couple of Burton movies, I might risk…)
[ul]My friend Walt - he’s wicked smart. I’d want him along just in case the doomsday device is more complicated than I could figure out.[/ul]
[ul]John McClane - This seems right up his alley. He’d do most of the killing/disabling and whatnot.[/ul]
[ul]Natalie Portman - She seems to be in pretty good shape so she could more than keep up with us and she can speak 5 languages so she could translate the words on the doomsday machine just in case it’s in another language. Plus I’d want to kiss someone after we saved the world.[/ul]
Dang, no super-powered beings. That makes it harder.
Since it’s an infiltration mission, I’d want someone sneaky, but who could kick some ass if needed. In fact, if I’m going for infiltration, having one sneak and one guy lugging around 700 lbs of ammo would be silly, so I’d have to opt for all roguish types.
In that respect, I’d have to go for three of the best:
