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 webcomics:

The Smart Guy | Black Mage, oscillates between a Genius Ditz in the fields of dark magic and wanton destruction and the Only Sane Man, has No Social Skills |
