A team for every hero?

Do you think we'll eventually see every hero belonging to a canonical team?  With Freedom Four/Five/Six, the Dark Watch, and the Prime Wardens, somewhere over half the existing heroes are on a team.  And the Sentinels are a teams.

 

The teams that already exist seem to hit tropes from existing team comics.  The Freedom Five hit a lot of JLA tropes (and also some Fantastic Four tropes, with Tachyon and Freedom Tower reminding me of Reed Richards and the Baxter Building).  The Dark Watch evokes a lot of the Spiderman Team Up comics, in which he frequently worked with heroes like Daredevil, Punisher, and Doctor Strange.  The Prime Wardens reminds me of an early Defenders line up (Dr. Strange, Hulk, Namor, Silver Surfer, Valkrie -> Agent Adept, Haka, Tempest, Captain Cosmic, Fanatic)

 

Sentinels Tactics Uprising sort of makes an (unnamed) team out of Visionary, Beacon, and Unity, and because of their age they seem kind of like the Teen Titans or Young Avengers.

While it would be fun to see lots of teams in SotM, I don't think it is necessary.  If you look at most comic book heroes, unless they have their own mainstream team-up comic, heroes tend to show up from time to time.  That and there will be times where teams end due to conflict.  I think the great thing about SotM is that really specific teams don't need to exist.  The promos associated with those teams are nice, but I love mixing up a member of the FF, DW, and PW with another random hero in different environments against diffrent villains.  At this point at least if there were going to be another "promo team," they would probably have to be a team that travels through time correcting timelines.

All the heroes eventually join under one team called the Freedom Unlimited.

In comics, there often tend to be many small teams. For example, look at Wolverine. Last I counted, he was on 16-17 different teams that a lot of people unacquainted with comic minutia wouldn't even know about. So, that said, it's possible that each character in SotM is on just as many teams that we'll never see.

I’d really like to see a 3 hero team, purely for gameplay reasons: the game works for 3, 4 and 5 heroes, we have teams for 4 and 5, even one for 6 if we want to push the limits of the game but not one yet for 3. It would be nice to cover all of them.

Thinking in terms of background I’d love to see an irreverent team, sort of like Nextwave in style as some characters in the setting would really suit it - obviously Guise would be first choice for a wisecracking meta-statement hero like in Nextwave, but Unity is also a strong contender and it would be nice to see her on a team which actually wants her on it.

Well, we do see Unity-bot in the freedom 6, so there is that. (Not that they can't be on more than one team: like Tempest.)

I would definitely love to see some more teams in the game, but I understand how they don't all lend themselves to regular teams. (Though, I have to say that, although we've known Fanatic was in the Prime Wardens for some time now, I always saw her more of a loner {Like Ra}. So it's weird to see her as a regular member of this high powered team.)

Yeah, it is an alternate future team though. Main continuity Unity is teamless.

Sort of, she is the intern of the F5.

Unity as in Devra Caspit also is not really part of the Freedom 6 from Iron Legacy's timeline. But I machine using her name is.

Also, one of the times I met Christopher, he said that none of the heroes in Sentinels of the Multiverse are a part of multiple teams at the same time.
