Trying to think how this could work:

James T. Kirk is Captain Federation.  
Scotty is Tritanium Man.  
Spock is The Hulk

Q or Trelane is Loki.

Bones is?  
Uhura is?  
Sulu is?  
Chekov is?

? is Hawkeye?  
? is Black Widow? (don’t say Uhura:dubious:)  
? is Thor?  
? is Nick Fury?

Spock is not the Hulk. Spock is either Vision or Ant Man/Giant Man.

What about keeping it in the matching decade?

William Shatner as John Steed, Nichelle Nichols as Emma Peel.

McCoy is – Banner? The snarky civilian type among military-officer types, as well as the go-to expert on medicine in general and fake-your-death serums in particular?

_The Avengers_ was quintessentially '60s, but it was also quintessentially English. I thought Patrick Stewart could pull off the posh Englishman role better than Shatner.

I’ve actually run a Star Trek/Justice League mash-up in an RPG game.

William Shatner as Wolverine.  
Leonard Nimoy as Charles Xavier  
Nichele Nicol as Ororo  
James Dohan as Banshee, later on he could guest star as The Blob.  
Unforunately the main X-men doctor is female so I can’t really think of a good role for DeForest Kelly.  
Geroge Takei as Silver Samurai.  
Walter Koenig as Colossus. (I’m thinking as a CGI character)

The way I add it up, the main X-Men doctor is a guy named McCoy.

You’re right. That works better. (I just can’t see McCoy as Drax though. Maybe Sulu?)

Just saw the episode _A Touch of Brimstone_ the other night. I think my casting could have worked.
