* Each of the ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' by virtue of all being turtles, have the same extranormal abilities (swimming, limb retraction, etc.). Downplayed since these "powers" aren't very extensive and the focus is more on the turtles' different skills.
* ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulks'': The Hulk forms a team that includes Comicbook/SheHulk, A-Bomb, Red She-Hulk, Skaar, and Korg. While each of these abilities differ in scale and application, they are each a PersonOfMassDestruction with SuperStrength as their core ability.
* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': Spider-Man has [[Comicbook/ScarletSpider clones]], alternate universe counterparts (''ComicBook/SpiderMan2099'', ''Comicbook/UltimateSpiderMan'', ''Videogame/SpiderManShatteredDimensions''), [[Comicbook/SpiderWoman distaff counterparts]], [[Comicbook/SpiderGirl future children]], [[Comicbook/{{Venom}} symbiotes]], [[Comicbook/MaximumCarnage symbiote spawn]], and magical doppelgangers that have his core set of spider powers. They have teamed up, in various combinations, in many, ''many'' stories. ''Comicbook/SpiderVerse'', in fact, was ''built around'' this trope.
* Many of the most iconic ''Creator/DCComics'' characters have their own 'family' of characters who've built up over time; thanks to the popularity of the KidSidekick, JuniorCounterpart, DistaffCounterpart and SpearCounterpart, and LegacyCharacter, there's many groups formed entirely around multiple characters with the same gimmick and power, but with vastly different personalities or ways of using it. Creator/MarvelComics have employed this too with some franchises, but it's a more recent trend, while DC have been doing it in some form since the Silver Age. Examples:
** ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'':
*** The Man of Steel is often paired up with other Kryptonians like Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}, Comicbook/PowerGirl, ComicBook/{{Superboy}}, Krypto, as well as Daxamites like Mon-El. Each of them (barring the occasional bizarre retcon) are basically {{Flying Brick}}s.
*** Likewise, the Phantom Zone criminals are all Kryptonians with the same set of powers.
*** The Superman Emergency Squad was made up of Kandorians (Kryptonians from the bottle city of Kandor). Inside Kandor they have no powers, but outside, as Kryptonians they have the same powers as Superman.
*** The ''Hypertension'' storyarc in ComicBook/{{Superboy}}'s own book featured him leading an army of his alternate counterparts against another counterpart that had gone rogue.
** ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'':
*** The Dark Knight tends to operate in Gotham City with a crew of vigilantes that, much like him, have no superpowers and tend to operate in a heroic ninja-like manner. His allies include [[Characters/RobinDamianWayne Robin]], [[ComicBook/Batgirl2011 Batgirl]], ComicBook/{{Nightwing}}, ComicBook/{{Batwoman}}, [[ComicBook/Batgirl2000 Orphan]], ComicBook/RedRobin, [[ComicBook/Batgirl2009 Spoiler]], ComicBook/{{Azrael}}, [[Characters/BatmanHuntress Huntress]], and [[Characters/BatmanJasonTodd Red Hood]].
** ''ComicBook/GreenLantern'':
*** The Green Lantern Corps, except for a few outliers, all have the same ImaginationBasedSuperpower. They all vary in control and application, however, since it's fueled by willpower.
*** The other Corps also apply--but their abilities differ from color to color. The Orange Lanterns fit this best of all, because they are all ring constructs created by the one ''actual'' Orange Lantern, Larfleeze.
*** The creators of the Lanterns, the Guardians, all have the same powers as well. Of course, when that power is technically {{Reality Warp|er}}ing, you really don't need anything else.
*** The Manhunters, another group of space police created by the Guardians, are all androids with a uniform set of powers and abilities.
** ''ComicBook/TheFlash'':
*** The Flash Family, originally formed in the Silver Age by grouping up the Golden Age Flash, Jay Garrick, with Silver Age Flash, and [[LegacyCharacter Barry Allen]], his KidSidekick Kid Flash, ComicBook/WallyWest, with several reprint specials also including unrelated character Johnny Quick/Jack Chambers as part of it.
*** When Wally West became the Flash, the concept was revived and expanded on, including himself, Jay Garrick, another Golden Age SuperSpeed hero Max Mercury (originally named Quicksilver), as well as new characters [[DistaffCounterpart Johnny's daughter, Jesse Chambers, AKA Jesse Quick]], and BrattyHalfPint KidFromTheFuture Bart Allen, AKA Impulse. For some stories, they were also joined by Bart's cousin Jenni 'XS' Ognats. Much later, after Wally and his wife Linda Park had twins, Jai and Irey, they too joined the line-up.
*** After Barry Allen was revived, the Flash Family were briefly featured in ''The Flash: Rebirth'', but all of them outside of Barry were quickly pushed to the wayside and ExiledFromContinuity because ExecutiveMeddling from those RunningTheAsylum believed that the Flash Family induced UniquenessDecay and made Barry Allen less special. However, the popularity of these characters lead to them eventually being reintroduced, but not until after a ''new'' Flash Family had formed with the new Kid Flash, Wallace West (the original's cousin, created during the time he was exiled from continuity to 'replace' him), as well as The Flash of China, Avery Ho, and EvilFormerFriend turned AntiHeroSubstitute August Heart, Godspeed. When the previous Flash Family were brought back, the two groups merged into one big happy family.
** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'': Besides Wonder Woman herself, the two ComicBook/WonderGirl legacies, Donna Troy and Cassie Sandsmark, along with AntiHeroSubstitute Artemis, and the ''rest'' of the Amazons fulfil this. Strangely there's less effort to push them as a team compared to the Green Lanterns, Super-Family and Bat-Family.
** ''ComicBook/{{Aquaman}}'': You have Aquaman, his wife Mera, the original Aqualad (now Tempest) Garth, Aquagirl Tula, Garth's wife Dolphin, and also [[BadassArmy the Atlantean Navy]] when needed.
** ''Comicbook/{{Shazam}}'': Captain Marvel and the Marvel Family. They're basically people who not only have the same powers, but usually get them from the same source (or another mythological equivalent).
** The Darkstars of the Franchise/DCUniverse wear advanced super suits which all have the same abilities, basically making them a FlyingBrick with energy blasts.
* ''Comicbook/{{Nova}}'': The Nova Corps are pretty much the same as the Darkstars, with the exception of [[RankScalesWithAsskicking Nova Prime]], who not only has greater power than the others, but various extra abilities.
* ''ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}'': The Deadpool Corps, made up of various AlternateUniverse counterparts of the merc with a mouth. Dogpool and Headpool, being a dog and a zombie respectively, are probably the biggest outliers.
* Often {{Defied| Trope}} with the ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes. They won't let in new members if they have powers that are similar to any current members. The Legion of Substitute Heroes may take them, though.
* One issue of ''Comicbook/WhatIf'' had four stories in which the members of the ''Comicbook/FantasticFour'' all got the "same" powerset rather than four different ones. All flame-users like the Human Torch, all monsters like the Thing, etc. The invisibility chapter "cheated" as each member got a different power ''related'' to invisibility.
* ''ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}'': The C-List supervillain team the Death Throws, a team comprised solely of evil ''jugglers''!
* Comic book writer Creator/DwayneMcDuffie once [[http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2008/01/17/comic-book-urban-legends-revealed-138/ satirically pitched]] a team called "Teenage Negro Ninja Thrashers" due to the prevalence of black skateboarding heroes in the Marvel Universe.
* ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulks'': The Hulk forms a team that includes Comicbook/SheHulk, A-Bomb, Red She-Hulk, Skaar, and Korg. While each of these abilities differ in scale and application, they are each a PersonOfMassDestruction with SuperStrength as their core ability.

** The creators of the Lanterns, the Guardians, all have the same powers as well. Of course, when that power is technically {{Reality Warp|er}}ing, you really don't need anything else.
** The Manhunters, another group of space police created by the Guardians, are all androids with a uniform set of powers and abilities.
* ''ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}'': The C-List supervillain team the Death Throws, a team comprised solely of evil ''jugglers''!
* ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk'': In ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulks'', the Hulk forms a team that includes ComicBook/SheHulk, A-Bomb, Red She-Hulk, Skaar, and Korg. While each of these abilities differ in scale and application, they are each a PersonOfMassDestruction with SuperStrength as their core ability.
* ''ComicBook/{{Invincible}}'': The Lizard League
* ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'': Often {{Defied| Trope}} with the Legion. They won't let in new members if they have powers that are similar to any current members. The
* ''ComicBook/MetalMen'': The Metal Men are a team of [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin metal robot people]] who all have shape-shifting powers. The variance comes from the fact that they're all made up of different metals, which all have different properties. For example, Gold is an excellent energy conductor and very malleable, while Lead is more of an insulator and much heavier.
*
* ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'': The police force of Battleworld was the Thor Corps, comprising various people who, in their reality, were worthy to bear the hammer of
* ''ComicBook/{{Shazam}}'': Captain Marvel and the Marvel Family. They're basically people who not only have the same powers, but usually get them from the same source (or another mythological equivalent).
* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': Spider-Man has [[ComicBook/ScarletSpider clones]], alternate universe counterparts (''ComicBook/SpiderMan2099'', ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'', ''Videogame/SpiderManShatteredDimensions''), [[ComicBook/SpiderWoman distaff counterparts]], [[ComicBook/SpiderGirl future children]], [[ComicBook/{{Venom}} symbiotes]], [[ComicBook/MaximumCarnage symbiote spawn]], and magical doppelgangers that have his core set of spider powers. They have teamed up, in various combinations, in many, ''many'' stories. ''ComicBook/SpiderVerse'', in fact, was ''built around'' this trope.
* ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'':
** The Man of Steel is often paired up with other Kryptonians like ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}, ComicBook/PowerGirl, ComicBook/{{Superboy}}, Krypto, as well as Daxamites like Mon-El. Each of them (barring the occasional bizarre retcon) are basically {{Flying Brick}}s.
** Likewise, the Phantom Zone criminals are all Kryptonians with the same set of powers.
** The Superman Emergency Squad was made up of Kandorians (Kryptonians from the bottle city of Kandor). Inside Kandor they have no powers, but outside, as Kryptonians they have the same powers as Superman.
** The ''Hypertension'' storyarc in ComicBook/{{Superboy}}'s own book featured him leading an army of his alternate counterparts against another counterpart that had gone rogue.
* ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'': Each of the TMNT, by virtue of all being turtles, have the same extranormal abilities (swimming, limb retraction, etc.). Downplayed since these "powers" aren't very extensive and the focus is more on the turtles' different skills.
* ''ComicBook/WhatIf'': One issue had four stories in which the members of the ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'' all got the "same" powerset rather than four different ones. All flame-users like the Human Torch, all monsters like the Thing, etc. The invisibility chapter "cheated" as each member got a different power ''related'' to invisibility.
* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'': Besides Wonder Woman herself, the two ComicBook/WonderGirl legacies, Donna Troy and Cassie Sandsmark, along with AntiHeroSubstitute Artemis, and the ''rest'' of the Amazons fulfil this. Strangely there's less effort to push them as a team compared to the Green Lanterns, Super-Family and Bat-Family.
* Comic book writer Creator/DwayneMcDuffie once [[http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2008/01/17/comic-book-urban-legends-revealed-138/ satirically pitched]] a team called "Teenage Negro Ninja Thrashers" due to the prevalence of black skateboarding heroes in the Marvel Universe.
