** The ComicBook/SavageAvengers, the first team was an alliance of wizards (ie Dr. Strange, Dr. Doom, Magik etc.), warriors (ie Conan the Barbarian, Elektra, Wolverine etc.) and supernatural entities (ie Juggernaut, Ghost Rider etc.) formed to battle the godlike wizard Kulan Gath and kill a lot of mooks in the process. The team has such a big roster because Kulan Gath is that much of a threat.

When it comes to the supernatural and all things that simple science cannot explain, one usually turns to a specialist. [[UnhappyMedium Mediums]], [[DemonSlaying demon hunters]], {{Vampire Hunter}}s, {{Occult Detective}}s, [[AlchemyIsMagic alchemists]], [[{{Seers}} legit fortune tellers]], {{Blue Collar Warlock}}s, {{Hollywood Exorcis|m}}ts, [[NobleDemon reformed demons]], [[TheRealSpoofbusters real ghostbusters]], {{Magical Girl}}s, even StageMagician superheroes, there are always people who are trained (be it professionally or on the streets) how to handle these kinds of situations. In a world were MagicalSociety is underground, these teams are usually made of a RagtagBunchOfMisfits, keeping to the shadows due to whatever gift or curse they carry around.

When the world is a FantasyKitchenSink full of heroes with varying power origins, the Supernatural Team was formed with the purpose of working together to dispel supernatural threats in a "[[MagicMustDefeatMagic fight fire with fire]]" situation, since a ScienceHero or BadassNormal might be out of their element. That being said, you might have one member who isn't supernatural but ''thematically''-appropriate, like a TechnicallyLivingVampire whose powers [[ComicBook/{{Morbius}} are science-based]] but otherwise fills the horror niche. Naturally, this team will often double as an AntiHeroTeam as well.
