    Absolute Locks: (You can't imagine that these characters will not be on the next team.)


Visionary (seems kind of obvious now)
CSFB
Yuki
Al B. Harper
Goldeneyed
Donar (I hope I'm right about this one)
Citizen Z (even though she doesn't want to doom the team)



    Quote:
    Likely picks: (Not quite as sure about these, but you'd still be surprised if they weren't)


The Manga Shoggoth (has been less visible recently, the poster is also more rare, but adds a fun inhuman element and distinctive dialogue)
Alcheman (some doubts, but this is the character of ks's that I'm expecting.)
Silicon Sally (I'm just not sure how we get there yet.)
Hamboy (Teaser images and efforts to get an L character on the team. It's his time.)
Liu Xi (slipped my mind until I saw shrike's answers, even though I somehow remembered to put her on the list of options).



    Quote:
    Likely Leaving/not joining: (Current or recent characters from Untold Tales that you have a strong suspicion aren't going to join up with the next LL.)


Hatman (I don't think he's coming back to the line-up soon, bullet in the brain or not. He seems to be digging into the GMY scene for a long subplot)

Dancer (Sadly, with the poster MIA, I think Shep will be sidelined without powers for a while. Hopefully she'll continue to appear as a supporting character, especially with Vizh in charge. In fact, if Amber doesn't come back, she's shown a real knack for handling the General already...)

Nats (I'd like to see him and GE go at it some more, but I think he's being sent back to his cab company for a while.)

Icy (up to his creator to bring him back, apparently)



    Quote:
    Surprising Picks: (These choices may be out of left-field, forced on the team by the government or just HH having a laugh. You're not sure at all about these, but call it a hunch or just a fun idea.


I think Randy Clement is going to be around, obviously, but I'm not sure as a team member.

Anvil Man had some strong support from voters before, even though there hasn't been much in the way of in-story hints on that front.

Uuuuukulele because... well, I can dream, right?

David Bookman would certainly be a surprise... I don't think he's on the team, but it seems like L and HH have something planned there...


    Quote:
    Support Staff: (Which supporting characters will be around, and in what roles?)


Hallie
Flapjack
Sgt. MacHarridan (all three here remain unchanged)

I really could see Dancer being a fun replacement for Anna and driving the top brass up the wall as the gov. liaison officer... I just don't see how she's not recognized as mild mannered Sarah Shepherdson without her powers, or how a coffee waitress would get the job. I don't know who takes this place if Amber doesn't return.

Gen. Hodgekiss (stays on in Garrick's role as Presidential Advisor overseeing the team. I do expect Garrick to still show up semi-regularly in another role, however... One idea is that when a Senator dies, in some states I believe the governor of the state he represented can name his replacement to finish out his term. "Senator Garrick" has an interesting ring to it with all the political maneuverings going on...)





    Quote:
    Random Line-up thoughts: (The write in portion of the survey.)


I'm mostly interested to see if there are some really unexpected choices that HH throws on the team for his own writing amusement... characters that we would never see coming.

I'd also love to see some kind of connection to the team for Samantha, Mumphrey and Asil, I just don't know what it would be.
