== Comics ==
* ''Marvel Team-Up'': [[Spider -Man]] and someone else, almost every time: only of the 157 issues from Volume 1, only 11 ''didn't'' feature the wall-crawler as one of the team-ees.
** The later series ''Spider-Man Team-Up'' went and put him in the title, so he has to show up every issue.
** The most recent version of ''Marvel Team-Up'' didn't focus on Spider-Man; usually they were one-time teamups, although there was a [[Half Arc Season]] through the series regarding new villain Titannus.
** [[Ultimate Spider -Man]] got his own team-up book, ''[[Ultimate Marvel]] Team-Up''.
* ''Marvel Two-In-One'': [[Fantastic Four|The Thing]] teams up with other heroes.
* ''[[Cable (Comic Book)|Cable]] and [[Deadpool]]'', For most of the issues, it's a Superman/Batman-esque teamup, but the last few issues follow the Spiderman/Random Marvel Hero formula, after {{spoiler|Cable dies}}.
Line 17:
* ''[[DC Comics Presents]]'': [[Superman]] and other heroes.
* ''[[Action Comics]]'' was a Superman team-up book for a while [[Post-Crisis]] after ''DC Comics Presents'' ended.
* ''[[The Brave and Thethe Bold]]'': [[Batman]] teams up with others. The [[Trope Codifier]]. The animated series ''[[Batman: theThe Brave And The Bold (Animation)|Batman the Brave And The Bold]]'' was named after and gets its concept from this.
** Recently there were in turn ''two'' comics based on Brave And The Bold- One was [[Recursive Adaptation|a direct adaptation of the animated series]], with original stories and no continuity with the main [[DC Universe]]. The other was canonical but did not have Batman or any other hero as a regular guest star.
** It should be noted that ''[[The Brave and Thethe Bold]]'' started off as an anthology title focusing on Ye Olden Days type heroes such as Silent Knight and Viking Prince. After that fizzled, it became a second try out book for DC (after the success of the legendary ''Showcase'') and helped launch such instrumental DC titles as the [[Justice League]] and the [[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]. Teams such as those proved popular, so it start pairing up various random heroes, but the Batman team-ups sold better and before long Batman was in every team-up they did. So, at one point or another, the title was every single variation on this trope.
* The relaunched version of ''Adventure Comics''.
* ''Super Team Family'' a short-lived title from the [[Bronze Age]], with no set main star. Obscure today, but ironically influential since one of its plotlines involved the mental instability of [[The Atom]]'s wife, which would be a pivotal element decades later in [[Identity Crisis]].
Line 30:
 
== Western Animation ==
* ''The New [[Scooby Doo]] Movies'' features multiple team-ups, such as the gang teaming up with Batman and Robin, the Harlem Globetrotters, various celebrities and literary figures, and other [[Hanna-Barbera]] characters like [[Josie and Thethe PussycatsPussy Cats]] and [[Speed Buggy (Animation)|Speed Buggy]].
* ''[[Batman: theThe Brave And The Bold (Animation)|Batman the Brave And The Bold]]'', per the above note.
