* ''VideoGame/RivalSchools'' has each of the playable schools' representative characters be either a BadassNormal or someone who can use a {{KiManipulation|s}}. they are {{Cast Herd}}ed as teams.

* ''VideoGame/RivalSchools'' has each of the playable schools' representative characters be either a BadassNormal or someone who can use a {{Ki Manipulation|s}}. they are {{Cast Herd}}ed as teams.

* The ''Comicbook/DoomPatrol'', who during Creator/GrantMorrison's run fought some of the most surreal villains ever, including The Brotherhood of Dada, who used an LSD-powered bicycle to run for president. The team outright specializes in handling extremely bizarre threats that most other heroes in the DC Universe can't even begin to wrap their heads around.

* The Comicbook/TeenTitans, a collection of {{Sidekick}}s and other teenage superheroes.

* ''Comicbook/{{Shadowpact}}'': A collation of magic using and magically tied heroes and reforming villains.
* The ''Comicbook/SuicideSquad'', a group of BoxedCrook {{super villain}}s who are given an offer of a pardon if they complete ridiculously dangerous (one might say suicidal) tasks.

* Deconstructed twice in ''Comicbook/{{Watchmen}}''.

* The Seven in Creator/GarthEnnis' ''Comicbook/TheBoys''. They are a super team who aren't together to fight greater foes or even because they LIKE each other. They're together purely because they make more money of merchandising that way. In fact none of them can stand each other.
* ''Comicbook/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'' is a SuperTeam with a twist - it features {{public domain character}}s from Victorian literature teaming up to battle other threats from other public domain works (and one villain who ''wasn't'' in the public domain yet, forcing the writers to be careful with what they called him).

* Creator/MarvelComics' initial answer to The Franchise/{{Justice League|of America}} was The Comicbook/{{Fantastic Four}}, a [[MeaningfulName quartet]] (sometimes) of {{Super Hero}}es that had more in common with a ScienceFiction dysfunctional family than with a crime fighting organization.
* [[Franchise/MarvelUniverse Marvel]] also has Comicbook/TheAvengers (in some continuities called ComicBook/TheUltimates) a collection of that universe's best and brightest [[SuperHero Super Heroes]], much closer in style and set up to the Franchise/{{Justice League|of America}}.

* The Marvel Knights, a SuperTeam led by Comicbook/{{Daredevil}} that has shown up in [[Franchise/MarvelUniverse Marvel's]] [[DarkerAndEdgier mature]] line as well as their [[UltimateUniverse Ultimate]] line.
* Comicbook/{{Thunderbolts}}, a SuperTeam created by Comicbook/TheAvengers villains the Masters of Evil but ultimately thanks to the HeelFaceRevolvingDoor they started to do good. Various incarnations of the team have come about all featuring former or current villains.

* The ComicBook/{{Invincible}} Universe has several, [[PunchClockHero Punch Clock Heroes]] Capes Inc, the Guardians of the Globe (two versions thereof) and the Teen Team (disbanded when most of its members got too old).

** ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' saw the creation of the eponymous team of mercenaries, consisting of Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket Raccoon, and Groot. ''[[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2 Vol. 2]]'' added Mantis and Yondu ([[spoiler:though the latter later sacrificed himself to save Star-Lord]]), as well as Nebula through some TeethClenchedTeamwork and Yondu's second in command Kraglin.

* The Arrowverse also has the Crisis Team, which specifically meets during {{Crisis Crossover}}s, comprising Flash, Supergirl, Superman, J'onn, White Canary and Black Lightning. Kate Kane was a member before she passed on the Batwoman identity, and Oliver Queen is considered an honorary member posthumously. They meet in a S.T.A.R. Labs hangar which looks exactly like the [[Comicbook/JusticeLeague Hall of Justice]] in the comics.

* ''[[TabletopGame/MasksANewGeneration Masks]]'' casts its players as a team of young superheros a la ''Comicbook/TeenTitans''.

* ''Videogame/SouthParkTheFracturedButWhole'' has two competing superhero teams in the form of Coon and Friends (led by Cartman) and the Freedom Pals (led by Timmy), both seeking to become a CashCowFranchise in the vein of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse. [[spoiler:By the end of the game, everyone has joined together under the Freedom Pals banner except Cartman, who went rogue and kidnapped the New Kid's parents as part of an attempt to get elected mayor [[ItsAllAboutMe after he found out the Freedom Pals' franchise plan would focus on everyone equally]].]]

[[folder:Web Comics]]

* "Homeland Insecurity" i.e. ''Webcomic/{{Heist}}'' #1 introduces Pax Americana, a loose Franchise/{{Justice League|of America}}/[[Comicbook/TheAvengers Avengers]] expy. In [[http://www.brendanmcginley.com/heist/2-broken-bonds/ the second issue]], they come into conflict with the VillainProtagonist Geist.

* ''WebComic/SaturdayMorningBreakfastCereal'': Parodied in [[https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/super-efficient "Super Efficient"]], where it's explained to be about population growth and economics.

* ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'' is a MultinationalTeam consisting of a [[PlayingWithFire Japanese]] [[TheChick chick]], a [[BlowYouAway Brazilian]] SurferDude, An [[DishingOutDirt All American Cowboy]], a [[MakingASplash Chinese Apprentice Monk]]... and a size-shifting Eastern [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Dragon]]. They were assembled to gather [[MacGuffin Shen Gong Wu]].

[[folder:AnimeAndManga]]

* ''LightNovel/ProblemChildrenAreComingFromAnotherWorldArentThey'', has the team gathered by [[TheLeader Kuro Usagi]] to aid her No Name country. They are Izayoi Sakamaki, a boy from a present timeline with the power to supercharge any movement he does to [[BeyondTheImpossible do things that are impossible]] . Asuka Kudou, a girl from a past timeline who has CompellingVoice, and You Kasukabe a girl from the future who's capable of PowerCopying animals' abilities.

* ComicBook/GreatTen China's officially endorsed and government run super team.

** ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'': Yes, they do take some time to get any traction... but when they ''do'', they beat the shit out of '''gods''' (well, [[Comicbook/CaptainAmerica the Captain]] would say [[RealMenLoveJesus there's only one God]] and he really doesn't dress like that). [[Comicbook/IncredibleHulk The Hulk]] would merely say "Puny god!". In total, the team consists of Captain America, Iron Man, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Thor, and the Hulk, and [[BadassNormal Agent Phil Coulson]].

* Just as ''Franchise/DocSavage'' was a first-rank ProtoSuperhero from the [[PulpMagazine Golden Age of Pulps]], so he also assembled one of the first Proto-Super Teams. The Fabulous Five even had CodeName[s]; "Renny," "Johnny," "Long Tom," "Ham" and "Monk."

* The ''Film/Guardians2017'', composed of four enhanced humans, products of SovietSuperscience: Ursus ([[BearsAreBadNews werebear]]), Khan ([[SuperSpeed speedster]] and KnifeNut), Ler ([[DishingOutDirt earth elemental]]), and Xenia ({{Invisibility}}, can handle extreme temperatures and survive for long periods of time without air). They're sent against their MadScientist creator, who has developed a device that can control all technology and is marching on Moscow with his clone army.

* The Seven from ''Series/TheBoys'' are a team of {{Smug Super}}s that primarily have popularity due to keeping up a veneer of humility when they deal with the public, but are not above using their powers to get what they want and basically have god complexes like crazy. They are the primary [[VillainWithGoodPublicity villains]] of the series because of this.

* The titular Gatewatch of the ''Oath of the Gatewatch'' set in ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' were directly inspired by examples like the Justice League as per WordOfGod. The Gatewatch itself is essentially a group of Planeswalkers who join forces to fight the Eldrazi on Zendikar.

* Many, some lasting longer than others, in ''Roleplay/MarvelsRPG'', including the Ultimates, the Avengers, Generation X, the Crusaders, the Guardsmen, even if some are starting to become BadAssCrew or TrueCompanions.

* ''Series/{{Supergirl|2015}}'' eventually gives us the Legion from the 30th century, a team founded by Mon-El after a wormhole deposited him in the future with no way back. The only members shown are Mon-El, Imra Ardeen (Saturn Girl), and Querl Dox (Brainiac 5). Brainy later swaps places with Winn, with Winn joining the Legion and departing for the future, and Brainy staying behind and joining the DEO.

* ComicBook/TheAuthority [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstructed]] the idea of the SuperTeam by featuring a team that doesn't have those pesky [[MoralDissonance Moral Codes]] against [[ThouShaltNotKill killing]] or such. Also one of the earlier examples of {{Decompressed Comic}}s in America.

* The eponymous ''Anime/StrikeWitches'' are this. they are WitchSpecies girls gathered together and trained for their valuable magic prowess. they are the only ones effective enough to fight off the [[EldritchAbomination Neuroi]].

* The Film/{{Guardians}}, composed of four enhanced humans, products of SovietSuperscience: Ursus ([[BearsAreBadNews werebear]]), Khan ([[SuperSpeed speedster]] and KnifeNut), Ler ([[DishingOutDirt earth elemental]]), and Xenia ({{Invisibility}}, can handle extreme temperatures and survive for long periods of time without air). They're sent against their MadScientist creator, who has developed a device that can control all technology and is marching on Moscow with his clone army.

* WesternAnimation/YoungJustice features a group simply named "The Team"- although they have quite a lot in common with the Teen Titans, whose name was already taken by another cartoon. In universe, the reason for this is that they're a covert ops group, and there's no need to bring extra attention to themselves.

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'', with the titular team. Seen in the picture up top.

* ''ComicBook/GoldDigger'' has Agency Zero, formerly the Wonder Friends, a super team of heroes who decided they were tired of villains showing up to [[AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs try and trash their base]] or concoct schemes just to target the heroes, and decided to go under cover to prevent that. Now they're still a team of "superheroes" that does the job as usual -- they just [[TheMenInBlack don't tell villains they exist and do the job in black suits]].

-->-- '''Nick Fury''', ''Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}''

* The first SuperTeam was the ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica. It and the [[ComicBook/SevenSoldiers Seven Soldiers of Victory]] were both created in the [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks 1940s]].
** Creator/GrantMorrison's incarnation of the Seven Soldiers stretches the very idea of a super team to its limits; In order to keep the new Soldiers from being killed by the Sheeda like the previous team, they have to be sure that ''none of them ever meet each other''. Seven people who don't know one another even exist have to accidentally work together to save the world from a threat they aren't aware of.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ninjago}}'' is about four ninjas who can control Fire, Lightning, Earth, and Ice. they were assembled to protect the Green Ninja. TheChosenOne to wield all four elements and TheHero of the verse itself.

* ''ComicBook/{{Legion of Super-Heroes}}'': a team of young heroes who work for the United Federation of Planets from The Future!

* ''LightNovel/ProblemChildrenAreComingFromAnotherWorldArentThey'', has the team gathered by [[TheLeader Kuro Usagi]] to aid her No Name country. they are Izayoi Sakamaki, a boy from a present timeline with the power to supercharge any movement he does to [[BeyondTheImpossible do things that are impossible]] . Asuka Kudou, a girl from a past timeline who has CompellingVoice, and You Kasukabe a girl from the future who's capable of PowerCopying animals' abilities.

* ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' has the Vindicators, a group of superheroes that Rick and Morty have worked with in at least two off-screen adventures. They're something of a parody of Marvel heroes (with Morty treating their past team-ups as the equivalent of films and referring to their current adventure as "Vindicators 3"), though the team quickly falls apart during the episode due to Rick's actions as well as their own internal squabbling.
