Join Tuong La and our own rag-tag Avengers Angus MacDonald, Stephen Peeling, and Matt Barrow as we dive deep into the world of superheroes and do our best to keep Ragnarok from ruining our friendship.

Ground Rules
- Superhero Team-Ups can be from a variety of mediums including comic books, movies, tv, video games, books, etc.
- The “team” must be heroic in some way
- The team must consist of two or more
- Must specify what iteration of the team it is. Ie: what version of the Justice League
