Five-Man Band/Other

The Five-Man Band is a group of characters whose members fall into archetypes which all complement one another. They are a very specific team with skills that contribute to the group in a unique way. Here are some places where the trope occurs in new media, wrestling, and other media.

Note: ADD REAL LIFE EXAMPLES AT YOUR OWN RISK. Avoid using political and religious examples (because calling real life leaders villains is a bad idea) and don't start an Edit War.

* Note: They've had lots of personnel changes, but this is a representative sample.

* Note that they began as just Scott, Kirstie, and Mitch before finding their rhythm section.

* Brian May, PhD is probably the most deserving rock star ever to be named The Smart Guy, as well as the rockingest astrophysicist on the planet.
