Is there a story behind why you chose these particular characters?
 
****
 
Pretty basic answer. Most of them have been favorites since I was a kid and just wanted to see them all together. The only noteable exception being Psyklop whom I discovered through JB's commissions of the character. Just loved how the character looked under JB's pen, so I decided to throw him into the idea.
 
Magneto, Arnim Zola, Red Skull, and MODOK are my major Marvel favorites who didn't make the cut this time around.

Benny, I really like the way you put together a scenario that is unlikely to ever
be requested by another customer!

I'd love to read the story that would bring all these disparate characters together!

Great staging of the scene so all the characters are well-represented.

Congratulations, Benny; you have another amazing commission!

This type of encounter reminds me of a point I make often (offline as well as here): there are many new stories to be told.

Instead of countless reboots and retellings of origins - such as the umpteenth Superman: Year One story - why not tell new stories, like the one represented in the commission.

The villains apparently did not want their skirmish archived in the gallery and put some obstacles in out way. Fortunately, good triumphed over evil....

Congrats Benny!

Details I love, which are easier to appreciate on the larger scan:

The shadows radiating away from the Enchantress' blast.  

The torn Nazi flag occluding Enchantress' shadow, which has the tassels from her skirt!

The metal hinge strap for the doorway out at center top.  It's the sort of detail that just makes me happy.

Doom with his patented "You are all beneath me" look.

Wooden floors over stone structure.

The high-tech retro-fit over medieval construction.

The texture on Doom's armor.

Man, I really want to pony up for one of these.

Wooden floors over stone structure.

••

It's quite common in comics (and elsewhere, I suppose) to portray castles and other such stone structures as having stone floors thru-out, but, unless I am missing something, stone floors would be possible only on the lowest level, the one where the floor is actually laid down on solid ground. Above that, on second, third, etc floors, or on balconies (such as Doom is standing on), there would be nothing underneath to support the massive weight of the stone, so wooden flooring would be used.

(This is a mistake I used to make myself from time to time. I seem to recall a shot in FF where She-Hulk is crashing up thru the floor to an upper level of Doom's castle, and stone is flying everywhere. Oops!)

It would, of course, be possible to lay a thin veneer of stones on top of a wooden floor, but that would not produce the effect of big blocks of stone flying thru the air when somebody or something bursts up thru the floor.
