I have Jess de Wahls, Double Stitch, ties her opponents up in knots

Wi Spa lady The Naked Truth can sense testicles from 100 miles

Who else makes the team, and what should their super hero power be

Heather Mason, with the power to find hidden strength in those who appear to be weakest.

Vulvamort, the Hairy Legged Harpy, lovely in the eyes of the truthful, fearsome in the eyes of bullshitters.

Nutmeg, with the power to focus sunlight into the darkest corners.

Lang Cleg, guardian of safety in presence or absence.

Barracker - for excellent barracking (of course) and her incisive reframing that is like the experience of an anamorphic painting suddenly snapping into the correct perspective.

Hovering over all, the Ghost of Mary Wollstonecroft, the Vindicator.

Julie Bindel would have dwarven tank-armour on to take the blows at the front of the group and her weapon is resilience. JK would be the mage in the tower who sends out huge waves of light. Magdelen would be resurrected in visions and tears.
Artie Mortie, Helen Staniland, water and fire.

Posie - a Rogue

Kiera Bell - A beautiful and strong Paladin. The truth is her shield.

@Glinner - Kung Fu Panda.

I think I play too much World of Warcraft hahaha.
