Sweeeeeeet. I would read this. All the all female teams end up being mini-series. Are the green ones Polaris and...Female Mastermind? Or...Purple Illusion Girl whos name I can't remember?
Polaris and Vertigo, whose power is that she can make you dizzy. The one at the lower right is Catseye, who for some reason I thought was pink with pink hair (turns out she's caucasian with white hair).
My concept is that the Sisters went to the Savage Land to loot the villages there, Cortez-style, since the locals are primitive and backward and probably loaded with gold. The problem the girls encounter is that most of their powers are useless against dinosaurs. Polaris controls metal, but there's almost no metal around... Mystique can imitate other humans, but dinosaurs don't really care which human they eat... Catseye can turn into a cat-person, which is just as tasty to dinosaurs as a girl-person... Basically, they're up a creek with a lot of gold and no paddle. Adventure!
P.S. If the purple character you're thinking of was in Alpha Flight, her name was actually "the Purple Girl."
I love well written villain team centric series. The key is to give them people to fight, but not have them win by just straight up killing all the good dudes. This is why I loved the Warren Ellis run on Thunderbolts so much, the villains there got the shit kicked out of them in almost every issue, but still got things accomplished. The balance between having them act like bad guys and hoping that they win/lose without turning them into good guys is always an interesting line to straddle. Also, super powers vs. dinosaurs, FANTASTIC.
