  We present a selection of the first results obtained in a comprehensive
calculation of ground state properties of even-even superheavy nuclei in the
region of 96 < Z < 136 and 118 < N < 320 from the Quark-Meson-Coupling model
(QMC). Ground state binding energies, the neutron and proton number dependence
of quadrupole deformations and Q$_\alpha$ values are reported for even-even
nuclei with 100 < Z < 136 and compared with available experimental data and
predictions of macro-microscopic models. Predictions of properties of nuclei,
including Q$_\alpha$ values, relevant for planning future experiments are
presented.
