* ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'': The turtles in are indeed brothers in every sense of the word; this trope also applies to April O'Neil and Casey Jones, who regard the Turtles as their family.

* The ''[[Runaways]]'' team originated as six kids who discovered that their parents were actually supervillains, and banded together to try to stop them. The main cast did suffer dramatic changes, though, such as {{spoiler|the revelation of Alex as [[The Mole]] and his subsequent death, Gert's [[Killed Off for Real|death]], and the additions of Victor, Xavin, and Klara}}.

* ''[[Transformers]]'': The Autobot special forces team known as the Wreckers, particularly concerning its seven core members (Springer, Broadside, Sandstorm, Twin Twist, Topspin, Roadbuster and Whirl). Possibly the Insecticons as well, in that they're a trio of freaks despised by both Autobot and Decepticon and are really only loyal to each other.

* In ''[[Gold Digger]],'' Julia Diggers and her students are like this. Do ''not'' harm them and [[Mama Bear|let her find out about it,]] or you're in for a world of pain. Also, the three wererats in ''Throne Of Shadows'' were specifically raised to be able to trust each other completely, an advantage that [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder|wererats]] almost never have in life.

* Peter Parker always had allies in [[Ultimate Spider-Man]] but it wasn't until near the end of the first comic's run did he gain True Companions in the sense detailed here. Fellow super heroes [[Ultimate Fantastic Four|Johnny Storm]] (the Human Torch) and [[Ultimate X Men|Bobby Drake]] (Iceman) moved in him with him and went to his school. Even all of his ex-girlfriends, Mary Jane Watson, Gwen Stacy, Kitty Pryde (Shadowcat), put their differences aside and became great friends. Peter's Aunt May was part of the group, too! (After all, she was letting all of the kids live her house.) They worked, lived, and fought together. They were together until the [[Tonight Someone Dies|bitter end...]]

* The village of indomitable Gauls in [[Asterix]] are all True Companions. In many comics, it seems that all of Gaul is that way.
