Here's an idea: Toss Stephen Carpenter, Frank Delgado, Jónsi, Terry Bozzio, and Krystoffer 'Garm' Rygg in a room and see what they come up with.
There are snakes in the grass, so we'd better go hunting!
I'm starting to think y'all are just coming up with random names here...

Anything with John Stanier on drums automatically wins everything.

Two bands there (I tried to do something that made some sense), and I almost thought of a third band just to somehow include Devin Townsend and Patrik Gardberg.
Supergroup #1
- Drummer: Rolf Pilve (Solution .45)
- Bassist: Martin Mendez (Opeth)
- Base guitarist: Peter Wichers (Soilwork)
- Solo guitarist: Paul Waggoner (Between The Buried and Me)
- Vocals: Christian Alvestam (he's everywhere)
Supergroup #2
- Drummer: Peter Wildoer (Darkane)
- Bassist: Johan Ylenstrand (Miseration)
- Solo guitarist: Per Nilsson (Scar Symmetry)
- Harsh singer: Mat Bruso (Bury Your Dead)
- Clean singer and base guitarist: Ettore Rigotti (Disarmonia Mundi)
- Synths and programming: Alessio Nero Argento
I could explain my choices but by convenience I'll admit I chose the bassist for group #2 on a whim. Listening closely to Miseration, he seemed capable. 
Dizzanizzle
- Lead Vocals: Bon Scott
- Lead Guitar: Lee Ritenour
- Rhythm Guitar: Keith Richards
- Lead Bass: Sid Vicious
- Rhythm Bass: Mike Sims
- Drums: Keith Moon
- Synth Organ: Pete Townshend
- Keyboard: Eddie Van Halen
- Trombone: Fred Wesley
- Saxophone(s): Marceo Parker
- Producer: George Clinton
Rock with a side of Extra-Funky. This shall hereby be called P-Punk.

Apparition in the Woods
When it comes to straightforward, band-type hypothetical supergroups, I get too realistic, I think. But if I'm going for something more experimental, curious...
- Michael Gira: Sampling, production.
- Chris Watson: Effects, processing.
- Peter Christopherson: Electronics, found sound.
- Sufjan Stevens: Orchestrations, miscellanea.
- Keith Rowe: Guitars.
- Jack Rose: More guitars.
Laugh it off, everybody
Some Youtube comment suggested Tyler the Creator and Li'l Wayne should form a group and call it GOBLINS! IN! SPACE!
I don't really like the arrangement much, but the name made me laugh.
I spread my wings and I learn how to fly....

Something weird:
- Z'EV: Hitting Things
- Brian Williams: Field Recordings
- Genesis P Orridge: Vocals
- Kevin Martin: Whatever he wants to do

The 5 geek social fallacies. Know them well.
The line-up would depend on when the group was formed. For example, let's say this supergroup was formed in the late 1980s and the members are taken from then-popular groups, resulting in this line-up:
- Lead vocal: Meat Loaf
- Lead/Rhythm Guitars: Phil Collen and Steve Clark
- Bass Guitar: Bruce Hall
- Drums: Max Weinberg (or Liberty DeVitto)
- Keys: Roy Bittan
- Backing vocal: Matthew and Gunnar Nelson, Ann and Nancy Wilson
The group would write the songs in collaboration with Jim Steinman, and Mutt Lange would produce their album. It would be the eighties-est thing ever written.

A friend of Padraic
Male vocals: Bret Michaels Guitar: Dave Mustaine Female vocals: Hayley Williams Turntables: Timo Maas Keyboard: Wing Bass: Sting Drums: Ringo Starr
Yeah, Jason Kreis ain't exactly a soccer star.
Nu-Metal/Alternative metal:
A band of people whose skills are admired despite the band they are in. (For example, I've heard a lot of people say "I hate Godsmack but Shannon Larkin is an awesome drummer).
Cameron Heacock (American Head Charge) - Vocals
Wes Borland (Limp Bizkit/Black Light Burns) - Guitars
Ryan Martinie (Mudvayne) - Bass
Shannon Larkin (Godsmack/Ugly Kid Joe) - Drums
I don't know who would handle keyboards/samples, but it would probably be Chris Vrenna. Producer? Maybe Rick Rubin for the job he did on AHC's "The War of Art". Maybe whoever did Cold's 13 Ways to Bleed Onstage because that was just filthy. In a good way.
