Cyber Squad

For simplicity's sake, how about Carl Weathers, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and his
guys from Predator. Just put Arnold's character in charge, not Weathers'.

If the setting was urban/cyberspace - not deep space...

If it was to be assembled from fictional movie characters:

Kurt Russell from Soldier Leon from the Professional <Anyone who can hang
upside down and do the things he did....>
Arnold from Predator <He can quip witty one-liners while taking out the
opposition> Sylvester Stallone's Rambo Chow Yun Fat from Stone Cold Killer <I
think that was the movie with the teahouse scene> Macleod from Highlander
<having a guy on your team that had fought in every war under the sun and had
a hard time dying would be handy>

Team Leader: John Wayne from Green Berets <You can't lose with the Duke>

If it was from books: Felix from Body Armour 2000 Mordecai from Timothy's
Zahn's Blackcollar books Kenneth MacDonald from Timothy Zahn's Cobra books
Sten from Chris Bunch and Alan Cole's series Alex Kilgour from the same place
Lazarus Long from Methuselah's Children and other places

Lead:
Shimon Bar-El from Joel Rosenberg's Metzada series

This of course assumes you could mold them into a team. If you didn't have
any lead-in time, I'd obviously want a coordinated team. :)

If we needed a pre-cooked team, we'd pick from:
Ricoh's Roughnecks A Mantis team Manticoran Marines 1st Gaurds Blackcollars of
Plinry Cobras of Aventine Metzadan mercenaries DST Piper Colonial Marines on a
bug hunt

What about some of the people from Timetrax? If they got to keep there
weaponry...

Roman legend: Horatius at the bridge... held up, IIRC the Etruscans while the
bridge was being demolished under him from behind.

Poetry fragment:

Then up spake brave Horatius, The Captain of the Gate: 'To every man upon this
earth Death cometh soon or late. And how can man die better Than facing
fearful odds, For the ashes of his fathers And the temples of his Gods?' Lord

That's what I thought it was, although I did not know of the above.
