"I have come up with a team that not only has the outward skills needed to complete tasks (brains, magic, gun skills, and battle skills), but also has good personal qualities such as courage, leadership, and helpfulness (well, some). Roland Deschain, who was the protagonist and anti-hero of Stephen King's The Dark Tower series, comes from a grand line of gunslingers, who are All-World's justice keepers. He once killed a mob of 39 people with his guns (in Tull), and his quest for the Dark Tower was a long one (he was about 337 when he completed his task). The Doctor, the time traveling hero of the television series Doctor Who is near immortal, and knows much about the stream of time. Chances are, if he was present in Mordor, the group would also have access to the Doctor's Tardis, which would allow them to time travel, if needed. Kratos, from the critically acclaimed God of War video game, is a brutal fighter filled with a strong determination to complete his tasks. Kratos has fantastic fighting skills and has taken down giants, so having him to take care of large (and even small) enemies is beneficial. General Grievious, the droid commander from Star Wars: Episode III, is a droid himself, and as seen when fighting Obi-Wan, very flexible. He can wield four lightsabers at once, and his battle abilities, along with Kratos, should be enough to take on any creatures. Also, his voice is cool.Doctor Octavius, one of Spider-Man's greatest foes of all time, has a vast intellect which, used in the right manner, could solve problems if needed. Doc Ock knows the reactions in physics, biology and chemistry, all of which could be useful when traversing the land of Modor. 'Sora, from Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts series, is a courageous young man who isn't afraid of anything. Through his journey across worlds he has learned to use various magic spells (basic elements and advanced such as magnetic fields), and summoning allies. He also wields the keyblade, which can unlock any locks in existence.''Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones (guess what he's from?), is an explorer and tomb raider, which would be good while traveling across Modor as the group would need someone with knowledge of geographical patterns, and dos and don'ts of exploring.
Frodo, from The Lord of the Rings trilogy, is, in my opinion, irreplaceable. He needs to be the one holding the ring, as he is the titular character. Although the ring is tempting to most, Frodo seems to be able to resist the urge to totally go Gollum with it. He is also brave, and it helps to have someone that knows some of Modor, even if it is just stuff he heard in The Shire.
King Leonidas (from 300), is the final member in the group, as I knew the group needed a strong leader. He may not be the most sensible leader, but he knew how to lead a group of 300 into battle (and make us laugh with "This is Sparta"), so he should have no problem with 8.
The group name "Exterminators" is a reference to many things. It is their goal to exterminate the ring. It also refers to the somewhat brutish nature some of the members would take (Roland, Kratos, Grevious, Octavius, Leonidas). Could also be a reference to Daleks (the main enemy in Doctor Who), always shouting, 'Exterminate!'"

"Gandalf and Dumbledore have magical powers and are very, very powerful. Thor is a Norse god and has his hammer to smash all foes. Poison Ivy has the power to manipulate plants and flora. Magneto can control metal such as weapons and swords. Green Lantern can create almost anything with the power of the ring. Leo Valdez is immune to fire and is an excellent engineer. Happy can fly and Jake can turn into anything."
