New warriors
tbh I like more in concept than how they ve been done in the show, but that’s just my opinion
in my version I would make them appear only from time to time… separately from each other OR I would make them like the second shields team, so ultimates would have rivals… tbh I think original team would be called Ultimates and this New Warriors by public and I think New Warriors would be formed 1,5 - 2 years after ultimates, they would be bit older so they would have better start overall and grow on popularity pretty fast what would make ultimates bit jealous (is anyone even surprised?)
so I think leader of New Warriors would be Cloak, he has most experience in my version, he is very tactical and cautious, often acts as protector of his team, that’s why I think he would be perfect rival for spiderman, since they both carry that moral burden of leadership role,…
Dagger would be second in command, she is very good in keeping balance in everything, and is also cloaks right hand (and he loves her ofc)… her perfect rival would be White Tiger and they would take word rivalry to the whole new level,… I think Ava would start it actually, she would push ultimates to their maximum to “defend their place as shields number one team”, so naturally after that dagger would push New Warriors to step up their game too… also this would be kinda ironic because Ava sometimes complain about being the only girl on team but when new team with two other girls appears, she doesn’t try to befriend them and immediately sees dagger as competition… I guess this would be commentary on how successful women are often forced to compete with each other
Triton would be probably Iron Fists rival, like they are both skilled, disciplined fighters… and also from “different place”… but I don’t think they would dislike each other, it would be more like friendly rivalry
Squirrel girl is perfect rival for nova, not lore vise or power vise but lather vibe vise… they are both wildcard/pranksters of the teams, so I think they would just pull pranks at each other (or others team),… now when I think about it they would be also fun together during some training arc, the both have really fast movements so it would make sense for them to be paired up together during training sessions
Last one is Kazar… and only one left for him is Luke… tbh I don’t think neither of them would engage in some kind of rivalry with each other, so I think they would just stand there and what their teammates fight and be like “are they like this all the time” “yep, what about your teammates?” “Pretty much same”
Both teams would fight over under who’s protection the specific areas are (under shields lol but both teams believe it’s under theirs)
But yea, after few missions they would like each other more ofc
