'''Basic Trope''': A team of superheroes.
* '''Straight''': Whenever [[CityOfAdventure Paradigm City]] is threatened, [[TheCape Captain Resolute]], [[TheCowl Darklighter]], [[LadyOfWar Lady Willpower]], [[GadgeteerGenius Miracle Dude]], and [[SuperLoser Hardluck]] [[AvengersAssemble immediately spring into action]] as [[FiveManBand The Fifth Element]].
* '''Exaggerated''': The Fifth Element is associated with [[{{Crossover}} pretty much every other superhero on the planet]] through the [[HeroesUnlimited International Society of Superheroes]].
* '''Downplayed''': The five major heroes of Paradigm City are unaligned, but [[TeethClenchedTeamwork reluctantly on rare occasions]] [[RivalsTeamUp team up]] to solve major crises.
* '''Justified''': Fighting the forces of evil can become too big a job for one person to tackle alone, especially when fighting [[NebulousEvilOrganization international crime syndicates]] and [[EldritchAbomination evil gods from outer space]].
* '''Inverted''': The Fifth Element [[BreakingTheFellowship falls apart]] due to infighting, mistrust between its members, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking a nasty dispute over merchandising rights]].
** A few of the shrewder villains, led by [[EvilGenius Dr. Imperius]], form a nasty counterpart to The Fifth Element: [[LegionOfDoom The Compendium of Evil]].
* '''Subverted''': Despite several opportunities, the impetus to create a team of superheroes simply isn't present in any of the potential members due to a lack of trust about [[SecretIdentity sharing their real names and personalities with strangers]].
* '''Parodied''': Workshopped names for The Fifth Element include "The Five Amigos" and "The Pentagonal Pals".
* '''Zig Zagged''': One- or two-man team-ups are common, but [[CantCatchUp thanks to a divide between those involved in street-level and more challenging crime]], [[SupermanStaysOutOfGotham there isn't much overlap between high- and low-powered heroes]], until [[CrisisCrossover a big enough threat manages to affect every hero at once]].
* '''Averted''': No team ups between superheroes have occured... [[TemptingFate yet]].
* '''Enforced''': In a bid to more tightly control superhuman activities, the federal government steps in to [[SuperhumanRegistrationAct place heroes in "compliance groups" under strict supervision]].
* '''Lampshaded''': "A team? You mean like some kind of [[Franchise/JusticeLeague league for justice]] or [[ComicBook/TheAvengers avenging guys]]?"
* '''Invoked''': As civilians, the members of The Fifth Element are [[SuperFamilyTeam close relatives]].
* '''Defied''': All team-ups between Paradigm City heroes are strictly one-off events; [[WithFriendsLikeThese for a]] [[SmallNameBigEgo number of]] [[HeroWithAnFInGood reasons]], they're much more competent (and happier) working solo than as a team.
* '''Exploited''': With so many [[WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys powerful gadgets and weapons]], [[SuperheroTrophyShelf trophies]], and [[TheUnmasking personal datafiles]] agglomerated at [[HomeBase Fifth Base]], every villain in the world knows precisely where to go [[NiceJobBreakingItHero to score the best swag]].
* '''Discussed''': After surviving their first harrowing battle as a team, the heroes involved privately debate making their team ups an "official thing".
* '''Conversed''': The villains are less than thrilled at having to fight more than one hero at once now, [[MookChivalry especially since they only attack one at a time]].
* '''Implied''': Despite all claims to the contrary, the heroes of Paradigm City [[WeAreEverywhere make it unofficially known to their enemies that they're in league with each other.]]
* '''Deconstructed''': Super teams are more of a necessity than a novelty; heroes band together not only to better protect and serve, but for protection against[[NoNonsenseNemesis violent and]] [[HeroKiller cunning villains]] and [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer a deeply cynical and mistrustful public]].
** The creation of superhero teams [[SuperheroParadox invite larger and more destructive challenges]] [[DestructiveSavior to wreak havoc on the planet]].
* '''Reconstructed''': Apart from mutual protection, The Fifth Element works as a support group for superheroes, including running an outreach program for young and at-risk superhumans with dangerous powers.
