Apparently Plan Three is "Frontal Assault"

One where the heroes pose heroically to give the bad guy time to shoot them down.

I'm not sure I can think of many superhero teams less suited to a children's TV show.

Well, there are a couple of characters from independent presses that would specifically be too odd. Grant Morrison-era Doom Patrol would specifically be too weird.

Rick Veitch (Brat Pack?) -- actually, anyone who has done Swamp Thing -- has done work that is not suitable for a children's TV show.

Sorry, yeah. I meant DC/Marvel in-universe. Although they got transplanted to Vertigo, so I'm not sure how much that counts.

They don't come much odder than Danny the Street, but he would certainly be a welcome addition to a TV show. Or to a group of PCs, though I'd hate to have to work up a character sheet for him.

I learn the strangest things here.

They were in the Teen Titans Go! cartoon - Beastboy and they reunited and the teen titans and doom patrol fought all the doom patrol enemies at the same time, including the french gorilla and his lover the brain in the jar.

The latter two had fairly sizable roles in "Young Justice", since we're speaking of shows certainly NOT meant for young kids.

There was a period in the 90s I think when Troma movies were getting turned into saturday morning cartoons - attack of the killer tomatos and toxic avenger being the two I can remember.

(before anyone asks: no, sgt kabukiman didn't get one.)

Not a team, but the Michael Fleisher The Spectre and almost any version of The Punisher would be worse. Which brings to mind my favorite Amazing Heroes illo ever: Spidey on a kid's tie-in comic going "Hey, kids! I'd like you to meet a friend of mine!" "Crimson death spoke the guns of The Punisher!"
