* ''Literature/{{Slayers}}'' has a team of regulars that involves an [[WellIntentionedExtremist overzealous justice freak]] who often does ''Franchise/SailorMoon''-style poses and failed acrobatics, an [[TheNapoleon overly short]] UsefulNotes/{{Pettanko}} motivated primarily by greed/gluttony/revenge, a BigEater DumbBlonde BadassNormal, and a CursedWithAwesome [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot golem-demon-human hybrid]]. The extra characters in the party include an ex-princess who worships a monster she made up, a demon with a penchant for secret-keeping (who is also willing to sell out the entire party), and a shrine maiden with an absurd lack of skill in black magic (to the point where she casts carrot-sized fire spells that tickle people) who somehow learned the ''strongest black magic spell.''

* In ''Literature/{{Starburst}}'', while the main characters aren't a 'team' in the strictest sense as they mostly spend their time doing their own things, they are an eclectic group who have come to Edinburgh to take part in the Edinburgh UsefulNotes/FringeFestival and end up sharing the same flat and offering help to each other at key moments. Guests include a long-retired filmmaker making a final return to his old profession, a small-town comedienne making her first big splash, an ex-car-thief who's been given a unique chance, and a major celebrity violinist in hiding after an unexpected attack.

* ''Literature/OrphansOfTheSky'': The group that bands together to end the ignorance of the Ship's downfallen state, prevent a genocidal war against the Muties, and bring about the Trip's conclusion ends up being an apostate scientist-priest, a kidnapped member of the same order who was also the chief architect of the looming war, an uneducated peasant swept up by chance, a two-headed mutant leader, and a microcephalous dwarf brusier.

* Ruthlessly deconstructed in ''Literature/ConsiderPhlebas'' with Kraiklyn's Free Company. They're a gaggle of dysfunctional third-rate HiredGuns[=/=]SpacePirates who cruise around in a [[TheAllegedCar clapped-out old spaceship]] with [[PerpetualPoverty equally clapped-out equipment]] looking for trouble... Essentially the setup of your classic [=RPG=] adventuring party or sci-fi WalkingTheEarth show. But instead of granting them a spectacular and improbable victory against all odds, the novel instead suggests [[DwindlingParty what might realistically happen]] to a small, arrogant, undisciplined and poorly equipped fighting force in a ''very'' big galaxy.

* ''Literature/ReignOfTheSevenSpellblades'': As seen in the {{flashback}}s in volume 3 and in ''Side of Fire'', the Campus Watch used to be much more a club of well-intentioned screwups than an effective campus safety patrol. Alvin Godfrey is a bull-headed StockShonenHero who tended to blow himself up with his own fire magic, Tim Linton is a drag queen notorious for being careless with his poisons and useless at making anything else, Carlos Whitrow is a nonbinary asexual, and Lesedi Ingwe was the OnlySaneWoman stuck cleaning up after them and prefers kickboxing to Sword Arts. [[spoiler:Surprisingly it was the addition of Ophelia Salvadori, the {{succubus}}-blooded girl who SmellsSexy and uses her womb as a petri dish, that actually allowed them to overcome their initial troubles and get to where they were elected to the student council, and she didn't last much more than a year on the team before her descent into villainy.]]

They include people like a homely woman who hypnotized beauty competition judges, a panhandler, a bank teller, and a ninety-pound arm wrestler. Jax's parents compare them to the cantina denizens from ''Film/ANewHope''.
