Super Team: Difference between revisions

* The [[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]] is probably [[Marvel Universe|Marvel]]'s most popular team, which several [[Series]] based on it, and a few [[X-Men (film)|movies]] too.

* [[DC Comics]] also has the [[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]], a collection of [[Sidekicks]] and other teenage superheroes.

* Deconstructed twice in ''[[Watchmen]]''.

** In "Under the Hood" (a book-within-a-book written by the first Nite Owl chronicling his time as a superhero) Nite Owl said that "it takes an extreme personality to put on a costume and fight crime and the chance of eight such personalities getting along is a million to one." Then, of course, there's the fact that after the Comedian tried to rape the first Silk Spectre, the Minutemen began to distrust each other and subsequently collapsed.

** Later when Captain Metropolis (a member of the last super team, "The Minutemen") tries to form another Super Team, "The Crimebusters", the Comedian denounces the whole idea as bullshit, claiming Captain Metropolis is trying to play "Cowboys and Indians". He further explains that [[Shoot the Shaggy Dog|whatever heroic deeds they accomplish will be undone by]] [[The End of the World as We Know It|an impending nuclear war]]. Rorschach complains that "a group this size seems more like a publicity exercise,", adding that "it's too big and unwieldy." The first meeting of the group is the last because of this.

*** Leaving Captain Metropolis all alone and begging to stay because "somebody has to save the world". [[Foreshadowing|Ozymandia agrees...]]

* [[DC Comics]] also has:

** The ''[[Doom Patrol]]'', who during [[Grant Morrison]]'s run fought some of the most surreal villains ever, including The Brotherhood of Dada, who used an LSD-powered bicycle to run for president.

** And ''many'' others. There are at least 100 listed at the [[wikipedia:List of DC Comics teams and organizations|other Wiki]].

* [[Marvel Universe|Marvel]] also has many many other teams, including but not limited to:

** A gazillion [[West Coast Team|spin off teams]] of The [[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]] including the [[New Mutants]], [[X Factor|X-Factor, X-Factor Investigations]], [[X-Force|X-Force and X-Statix]].

** A full list can be found at [[wikipedia:List of Marvel Comics teams and organizations|the other Wiki]] beware, it's ridiculously complete.

* Subverted like hell by The Seven in [[Garth Ennis]]' ''[[The Boys]]''. They are a super team who aren't together to fight greater foes or even because they LIKE each other. They're together purely because they make more money of merchandising that way. In fact none of them can stand each other.

* ''[[Kick-Ass]] 2'' sees Dave joining a group of like-minded superheroes called Justice Forever.

* Team Kimba, of the [[Whateley Universe]]. They're only teenagers at [[Super-Hero School]] Whateley Academy, but they've already beaten superpowered ninjas from the Yama Dojo, the Necromancer and his team The Children of the Night, and Lovecraftian horrors. Plus, they're not supposed to be superheroing, so they keep getting detention for this stuff.

* The ''[[League of Intergalactic Cosmic Champions]]'' was a group of [[Superhero|super heroes]] (more or less) crossed with ''[[Star Trek]]'' zipping around the universe in a [[Cool Ship]] fighting evil.

* Many, some lasting longer than others, in [[Marvels RPG]], including the Ultimates, the Avengers, Generation X, the Crusaders, the Guardsmen, even if some are starting to become [[Badass Crew]] or [[True Companions]].

* ASH from [[Academy of Superheroes]] is the big-league super team of that universe. STRAFE is more of a superpowered covert ops team.
