''Supa Team 4'' is an African superhero show produced by Creator/{{Netflix}}. It was created by Creator/MalengaMulendema in connection with Creator/TriggerfishAnimationStudios and CAKE Entertainment.

Disasters have been rocking the city of Lusaka, and only one woman knows how to stop them- the elderly spy "Mama K". With the help of her VirtualSidekick, she recruits four heroic teenagers; brilliant Komana, authoritative Zee, shy Monde, and delinquent Temwe. Together, "Team 4" fight to protect their home.

!!This series includes the following tropes:

* BadassNormal: In the pilot episode, before Mama K gave them their suits, the 4 are shown to be this during the first villain attack when they save some of their classmates (and the odd teacher too). Shortly afterwards Mama K reveals that this type of behaviour is exactly why she chose those girls in the first place.
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: Team 4 have no powers outside of their suits, which greatly enhance the girls' strength and speed.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: As seen in the group picture, the girls' costumes are black with different main colors; Komana's is yellow, Monde's is pink, Zee's is green and Komana's is purple.
* NewTransferStudent: Monde, who has no small amount of angst over whether she'll be able to fit in.
* PaintedCGI: The show's animation uses a low framerate and some 2D effects in the action scenes, making it look like a comic book come to life.
* PracticallyDifferentGenerations:
** Monde lives with her older sister, who is a fully grown adult who works for the mayor's office.
** Zee is high school age and has a group of triplet younger siblings in toddler age.
* TeenGenius: Komana is still in high school, yet regularly invents things like solar-generating paint and a carbon-capture machine- things that exist in RealLife, but are cutting-edge and had to be developed by groups of people. In the first episode, she receives a scholarship for the aforementioned machine.
