A couple of reboots were made in TheNewTens for Creator/DCComics, both as AllStarCast of both DC and [=WildStorm=] members. The first team was seen in ''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}}'' as a black ops group killed in Afghanistan with ComicBook/{{Grifter}} TheLeader and the sole survivor of the attack. Grifter would later found LaResistance against the Amazons. The second one was part of [[ComicBook/Team7New52 one of the titles]] of the ''ComicBook/New52'', also a paramilitary group like the first incarnation but with the difference it was made to prevent future metahuman threats in the first years of metahuman appearances.

See also ''ComicBook/Gen13'', composed by the offspring of various of Team 7 members; and ''ComicBook/PointBlank'', where Lynch, Cash and Slayton were part as a team again. Some members of this team, ComicBook/{{Grifter}} and ComicBook/{{Backlash}}, have their own articles here in TV Tropes. Also, the ''New 52'' incarnation has its own page [[ComicBook/Team7New52 here]].

''Team 7'' is a comic book series by Creator/WildStorm created in TheNineties about a paramilitary group sent by the Intelligence Operations (also known by the initials I/O) to destroy dictatorial governments and possible US menaces during TheSeventies. Then they were sent into a SuicideMission where they were exposed to the "Gen Factor", a radioactive experiment that give them superpowers and convert them into metahumans. The surviving members of the team (that didn't die, go mad or get DrivenToSuicide as a result of the Gen Factor) deserted from I/O and went undercover, being chased in a couple of times. They reunited a couple of times before they split up going every man by its own.

The title was fundamental to the beginning of the [=WildStorm=] universe, the title being a kind of {{prequel}} for the various teams in the [=WildStorm=] Universe. Various surviving members of Team 7 either founded or joined teams, with some of their children being born metahumans and forming their own. The title has 3 miniseries: ''Team 7'' in 1994 and two {{sequel}}s, ''Team 7: Objective Hell'' in 1995 and ''Team 7: Dead Reckoning'' in 1996.

The title has 3 miniseries: ''Team 7'' in 1994 and two {{sequel}}s: ''Team 7: Objetive Hell'' in 1995 and ''Team 7: Dead Reckoning'' in 1996.

A couple of reboots were made in TheNewTens for Creator/DCComics, both as AllStarCast of both DC and [=WildStorm=] members. The first team was seen in ''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}}'' as a black ops group being killed in Afghanistan War and being ComicBook/{{Grifter}} TheLeader and the sole survivor of the attack, later ensembling LaResistance against the Amazons. The second one was part of [[ComicBook/Team7New52 one of the titles]] of ''ComicBook/TheNew52'', also a paramilitary group as the first incarnation, but with the difference it was made to prevent future metahuman threats in the first years of metahuman appearances.

See also ''ComicBook/Gen13'', composed by the offspring of various of Team 7 members; and ''ComicBook/PointBlank'', where Lynch, Cash and Slayton were part as a team again. Some members of this team, ComicBook/{{Grifter}} and ComicBook/{{Backlash}}, have their own articles here in TV Tropes. Also, the ''New 52'' incarnation has its own page [[ComicBook/Team7New52 here]].

Not to be confused with the [[PowerTrio Team 7]] from ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', being created decades after this title and has nothing to do with this comic book.

[[folder:Members]]
[[AC:Last active members]]
* '''John Lynch:''' Code-named Topkick and former member of I/O's [[PrivateMilitaryContractors Black Razors]], Lynch is TheLeader of the group, who was in constant struggle with the rest of the team because of his unquestioning following of orders and his strict adherence to the rules. He later became the angular stone of [=WildStorm=] Universe: he funded ''ComicBook/Gen13'' with his son Burnout as part of the team, he helped Holden Carver in ''ComicBook/{{Sleeper}}'' and eventually became the new leader of I/O after the death of Miles Craven.
* '''Marc Slayton:''' Code-named ComicBook/{{Backlash}} is a HalfHumanHybrid who became part of the Team 7 who also was exposed by the Gen Factor, that only awakened his alien heritage, making him unleash psionic whips from his wrists. He's one of the few members who started alone as a VigilanteMan in his own solo series, also being part of ''Team Zero'', the genesis of this group created in the UsefulNotes/WorldWarTwo.
* '''Cole Cash:''' Code-named Dead Eye (later changed to ComicBook/{{Grifter}}), is a early-20s young soldier specialist in guns as a sniper. He gained PsychicPowers and HealingFactor, keeping his 20s appearance for decades. After the team was disbanded, he joined the ComicBook/WildCATS as one of his most important members. Also he has some collaborations with his ex-partners Slayton and Cray for certain missions with the [=WildCATS=].
* '''Michael Cray:''' Code-named as Deathblow, he's TheBigGuy and the HairTriggerTemper of the group, a big soldier who "shoots first and ask later" and crashed with Cash and Lynch during the first series. Apparently unaffected by the Gen factor, decades later he became immortal thanks to his advanced HealingFactor, even more higher than Cash, discovered when he died and he came back quickly. With Cash and Slayton, he gained his own solo series.
* '''Jackson Dane:''' Code-named Arclight (later known just as Dane), is another member of the team exposed to the Gen Factor and gained even more powers than the rest of the crew, being captured and used as guinea pig by I/O. Finally he received a symbiote that made him golden metal, and with other symbiote users like him founded his own team: ''Wetworks''. Also, he revived the Team 7 in some ocasions.
* '''Christie Blaze:''' Lynch's lover and also part of the Team 7, leaved apart by Craven, so she wasn't part of the Gen Factor. She joins Team 7 as a member in future appearances along with his lover.
[[AC:Former members]]
* '''Philip Chang:''' Code-named Bulleteer, he was the bomber of the team and also was exposed to the Gen Factor. He left the group with destination unknown. He's also the father of Grunge from ''ComicBook/Gen13''.
* '''Stephen Callahan:''' Code-named Wraparound. The team's only Marine, one of the primary reasons for his agreeing to join was that he wanted his service branch to be represented. Also exposed to the Gen Factor, Callahan faked his death to avoid the persecution. He's the father of Threshold and Bliss from ''[=DV8=]'' and Sarah Rainmaker from ''ComicBook/Gen13'', dying at the first number by saving Sarah when she was a child.
* '''Alex Fairchild:''' Code-named Slaphammer, he's the LifeOfTheParty of the team, an easygoing soldier who was exposed to the Gen Factor. As most of the members, he went hiding from I/O for decades with destination unknown. He's the father of Caitlin Fairchild and Freefall from ''ComicBook/Gen13'', who later rejoined his daughters in this series, and eventually dies defending this team in later volumes.

!!Team 7 provides the next examples:
* NinetiesAntiHero: The entire team classifies as this, since none of them can be called as proper heroes, or maybe Lynch only.
* AlienAmongUs: Slayton/Backlash is the only member of the team who has an alien origin (a HalfHumanHybrid of a human mother and a [[HumanAliens Kherubin]] father) and was unaffected by the Gen Factor, or at last his previous powers were augmented by the exposure. Not to mention he's basically immortal thanks to his Kherubin heritage, having [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld more than 300 years old]].
* TheCameo: Revealed in ''Lois Lane and the Resistance'' spin-off in DC's ''Comicbook/{{Flashpoint}}'', ComicBook/{{Grifter}} was TheLeader of his own version of Team 7, a paramilitary squad that counted with members like [[Franchise/GreenLantern John Stewart]], [[ComicBook/{{Batwoman}} Kate Kane]] and [[ComicBook/SgtRock Frank Rock]], being the only survivor in a mission during the Afghanistan War time before the event began.
* ChekhovsGun: Deathblow, the only member who didn't develop any powers after being exposed to the Gen Factor, or that's what all we thought. When he died during the ''Fire from Heaven'' event decades later, he revived, being later revealed that his advanced HealingFactor makes him almost immortal, which was his special power in the end.
* ChromosomeCasting: All the official versions of Team 7 were ensemble by men, with the sole exception of [[TheSmurfettePrinciple Christie Blaze]], Lynch's lover, who later joins the team for one of the ensembles.
* DadTheVeteran: Various of the members got the Team 7 and their military careers apart to become [[FamilyMan family men]] and keep the rest of their lifes in peace. In an universe like the [=WildStorm=] one, that's TooGoodToLast.
* DrivenToSuicide: The newly-gained powers went mad various of the members of the team, who ended their lifes few time after being exposed to the Gen Factor. Cash almost suffered of this when he got his PsychicPowers, making the decision of FightLikeANormal and using it only in extreme cases.
* EliteArmy: The team has selected members who can finish the job where others failed (and died.)
* {{Expy}}: Based on classic comic book army teams like ''ComicBook/SgtRock and the Combat-Happy Joes of Easy Company'' and ''Sgt. Fury and the ComicBook/HowlingCommandos''. WordOfGod that Lynch was made as a {{homage}} to ComicBook/NickFury from ''Howling Commandos'', especially by getting an EyepatchOfPower and leadering a big organization (I/O in this case.)
* HumanWeapon: The main reason to ensemble the team and being exposed to the Gen Factor.
* InNameOnly: The Creator/DCComics' [[ComicBook/Team7New52 New 52 version]] has few to nothing to do with this version, returning only Lynch, Cash and Fairchild to this team, but with different motivations.
* JungleWarfare
* LeaveNoSurvivors: Going to extreme missions, this was the main order in their missions.
* MeanBoss: Miles Craven, the head of I/O, who sent the team to {{Suicide Mission}}s where other teams can't survive, exposing them without advice to the Gen Factor, and even chasing them after they desert (and dcades later, going for their offsprings.)
* MoreDakka: Deathblow, of all members.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: WordOfGod. Apart of Nick Fury, Lynch was explicitely modeled after Creator/ClintEastwood.
* PsychicPowers: Most of the members received psychic powers thanks to the Gen Factor becoming the first "Gen-Active" humans. But this came with a price: losing their minds and sometimes DrivenToSuicide, so the survivors only used these powers in extreme cases.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Slayton as the HalfHumanHybrid he is, has like 300 years old at the time he joined Team 7 and even being also part of the WWII's Team Zero. And as side-effect of the Gen Factor, members like Cash and Cray got their lifespans longer thanks to their HealingFactor.
* RedBaron: Every member has his own InSeriesNickname to be easily identified and to avoid exposition of their names in the combat zone. Some of them mantained their nicknames after the team, others changed it for new ones and some others established their identity as their real names instead.
* TheSeventies: The series is ambiented during this decade, being the Vietnam War one of the fronts they were sent by I/O.
* ShoutOut: Coming from former Creator/MarvelComics creators, this is obvious:
** As said before, Lynch looks like ComicBook/NickFury was ported by Creator/ClintEastwood
** Dane looks like a mixture between ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} and ComicBook/{{Sabretooth}}, but with brown hair.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Christie Blaze, Lynch's lover. Also doubles as the only BadassNormal of the team.
* SpinOff: ''Team Zero'' and ''Team One'' are known as this. Also ''[=Gen12=]'' with ComicBook/Gen13, a mixture of the GenerationXerox and the [[LegacyCharacter New Generation]].
* SpiritualSuccessor: ''Wetworks'' became the new version of Team 7 in actual era. Also, ''ComicBook/Gen13'' and ''[=DV8=]'' count as this being these gropu formed by the children of the members of Team 7.
* TheSquad: Of Wildstorm Universe.
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: Knowing they became guinea pigs for the Gen Factor, the whole surviving Team 7 deserted from I/O and became fugitives.
* WalkingArmory: Cash and Cray are the heavy weaponers of the team, usually having a lot of munitions to use and misuse.
* WarIsHell
* YouDontLookLikeYou: Decades later, the surviving members of Team 7 (mostly Dane, Lynch, Grifter, Backlash and Deathblow) ensembled the team in some special ocasions, all of them with their actual superhero costumes. The only one who mantains the same is Deathblow, keeping the military outfit he had during TheSeventies.
