How will my set up be?

My team composition looks like it will be The Hood (5/5/3), Luke Cage (3/5/5) and Deadpool (5/5/3) once I round out my first 3 Three Stars.

How is this for a composition? I figure it won't be too too shabby. I'll probably keep hood just a couple of levels shy so that Cage can tank Yellow and Black for him. Cage should also be able to tank Red for Deadpool if I do the same for DP, since DP has that weird color scheme where his first ability isn't his most damaging color. This means Cage will tank every color I carry actives in except for Purple. I like the idea of one, tanky character actively covering every color I'll be hunting. Deadpool will provide a quick active in Red, while the team will have slow, powerful actives in Yellow, Black (let's be honest, it's not a cheap, low damage skill ; it's an expensive skill that doubles up on Strike Tiles) and Purple. I will lack actives in Green and Blue and have 3 strong passives. I'm not so worried about having no actives in Blue, that's not really disconcerting to me. Having no active in green is a bit disconcerting to me.

Is this team a solid team? Is it strong enough to balance out the lack of Active Green? I know Green is a potent color in the 3 Star range, so not having an active in Green means playing AP denial will set me back (but hopefully a hood hidden by luke cage and bolstered by his defense tiles will mitigate that a bit), but it should also help me defensively (I think).

Thoughts?

    Interesting team, but if you max them then simply place Hood furthest to the right and Cage in the center whenever possible. Cage will tank yellow red & black for Deadpool & Hood and the team will be interesting on defense. With no green outlet can also use this team to unload Ares Onslaught Team Ups that stockpile.

    I would highly suggest running a strike tile generator like Patch, Daken, Black Panther, Blade or Rocket&Groot and rotating out Hood or Deadpool in the earlier part of your climb in PVP.

    I like Hood and Deadpool together. Deadpool's black means that people need to take him out before taking Hood with a big attack. It can make it slow for attackers to build up AP, and they mainly take out Hood with regular matches rather than big attacks.

    That said, no green seems very dangerous. That's the one colour with lots of big attacks (Patch, Thor, X-Force, lots of others). I would think it would make it hard for your team to stop green attacks when played on defence.

    If I'm missing a colour, it's usually red, and that's so because I've been running Blade or Daken a lot, and it keeps the AI from matching its own strike tiles.
