Also they made a few {{Series}} based on it ranging from the [[JusticeLeagueUnlimited awesome]] to the [[SuperFriends not so awesome]].

What's that you say? Well, obviously it would be easier to show up for missions if you all lived in a cool mansion or ElaborateUndergroundBase of some sort, but then you run the risk of going straight through Nakama territory and right into some kind of PlanetEris sitcom/soap opera. ''And you don't want that''.

If you and your team simply MUST get all "I'll do anything for you man! You're like family to me," then you'll become a BadassCrew, and probably have to come up some BadassCreed and the like. If they're actually related, they become a SuperFamilyTeam. If the team all has related powers and color-coded outfits, you're probably looking at a {{Sentai}}.

Why, form a FiveManBand, of course! No, it's not necessarily a {{Nakama}}. In a Super Team, you just have to show up for the missions. The whole caring about the other members thing is entirely optional.

* Deconstructed twice in ''{{Watchmen}}''. In "Under the Hood" (a book-within-a-book written by the first Nite Owl chronicling his time as a superhero) Nite Owl said that "it takes an extreme personality to put on a costume and fight crime and the chance of eight such personalities getting along is a million to one." Later when Captain Metropolis (a member of the last super team, "The Minutemen") tries to form another Super Team, "The Crimebusters", Rorschach complains that "a group this size seems more like a publicity exercise, somehow it's too big and unwieldy."

In "Under the Hood" (a book-within-a-book written by the first Nite Owl chronicling his time as a superhero) Nite Owl said that "it takes an extreme personality to put on a costume and fight crime and the chance of eight such personalities getting along is a million to one." Then, of course, there's the fact that after the Comedian tried to rape the first Silk Spectre, the Minutemen began to distrust each other and subsequently collapsed.
**
Later when Captain Metropolis (a member of the last super team, "The Minutemen") tries to form another Super Team, "The Crimebusters", the Comedian denounces the whole idea as bullshit, claiming Captain Metropolis is trying to play "Cowboys and Indians". He further explains that [[ShootTheShaggyDog whatever heroic deeds they accomplish will be undone by]] [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt an impending nuclear war]]. Rorschach complains that "a group this size seems more like a publicity exercise, somehow it's exercise,", adding that "it's too big and unwieldy." The first meeting of the group is the last because of this.
