History Main / DreamTeam

* The local [[UsefulNotes/{{Cricket}} cricket]] [=XI=], the "Woolfonts Combined CC [=XI=]," in the ''Literature/VillageTales'' novels. It can "give trouble to most County sides and a few Test sides" … in that it is captained by a former captain of, in order, the Eton, Oxford Authentics, and Oxford Blues 1st [=XIs=], has in its order his old vice-captain when he's in the District, contains a current member of the OUCC 1st [=XI=] during the Long Vac., and, although his knees are shot nowadays, is coached and twelfth-manned by a former England Test cricketer. Neighboring villages really don't expect to win matches against WCCC, any more.

* In a late game quest in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel III'', Rean and Lechter have to assemble a group of people who can help them find one Calvard [[PrivateMilitaryContractors Jaeger]] who is still around the Heimdallr Catacombs. The ones who answer the call are [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky Olivert, Agate, Tita]], [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesZeroNoKiseki Tio, Randy]], Sara, Claire, Sharon, Toval, and Patrick. Both Rean and Lechter conclude the line up is a bit of an overkill but decides to roll with it.

* ''[[LetsPlay/{{Dream}} Dream's]]'' team in Minecraft Championship 8 has him allied with LetsPlay/{{Technoblade}} in a widely anticipated move, along with [=KingBurren=] and Michealmcchill. [[spoiler: Even though they came second in points, [[GoldenSnitch they won the final minigame, thus winning the whole event.]]]]

* ''Manga/ThePrinceOfTennis'': Konomi Takeshi has stated that the soon to be published continuation will deal with the formation of a "dream team" chosen from among the hundred or so best junior tennis players in Japan.
* ''Manga/OnePiece'':
** [[TheHero Luffy]], [[spoiler:[[VillainousHarlequin Buggy]], [[DirtyCoward Mr.3]], [[AgentPeacock Mr.2 Bon Clay]], [[CreepyCrossdresser Emporio Ivankov]], [[ShearMenace Inazuma]], [[SharkMan Jimbei]], ''[[TheChessmaster Croco]][[SandBlaster dile]]'', and [[PsychoForHire Mr.1]]]] teaming up is definitely squee-material. The name of the chapter? "The Strongest Team is Formed - Shake Impel Down to its Core!"
** 38 years before the start of the story, [[spoiler:Rocks D. Xebec formed a villainous version consisting of future Yonkos Whitebeard, Big Mom, and Kaido, along with other famous pirates such as Golden Lion Shiki and Captain John. It took both Gol D. Rogers and Monkey D. Garp working together to stop them]].
** The final fight against Douglas Bullet consisted of [[TheHero Luffy]], [[CombatMedic Law]], [[spoiler:[[TakenForGranite Hancock]], [[PlayingWithFire Sabo]], [[SuperSmoke Smoker]], [[VillainousHarlequin Buggy]], [[SandBlaster Crocodile]], [[BloodKnight Lucci]], and [[AbnormalAmmo Usopp]].]]
* The manga ''Manga/KarakuridoujiUltimo'', a joint project written by ''Manga/ShamanKing'' creator Hiroyuki Takei, and frickin' Creator/StanLee.

* ''Anime/YuGiOhBondsBeyondTime'' featured the three heroes of the first three arcs, [[Anime/YuGiOh Yugi Muto]], [[Anime/YuGiOhGX Judai Yukai]], and [[Anime/YuGiOh5Ds Yusei Fudo]], teaming together against the time-traveling villain Paradox.
* In ''Manga/{{Naruto}}''
** We have the [[spoiler: five Kages teaming up to fight [[BackFromTheDead Madara]]]]. Killer Bee and Naruto might also count as well, [[spoiler: Sasuke and Itachi]] certainly do.

* Kuroko's former team in ''Manga/KurokosBasketball'' was considered the Generation of Miracles, each member being a total prodigy and together they won the middle school basketball championships three times in a row. Sadly, the fact that they were a DreamTeam [[DownerEnding turned most of the members into jerkasses when playing basketball, so Kuroko left the team, the team fell apart]], and they all went to different schools to play against each other.
** Post-series, the ''Last Game'' arc has Kuroko reunited with his Generation of Miracle pals. And Kagami is there, too.

* ''Characters/LupinIII'': The best thief, most deadly assassin, fastest gunslinger, and most beautiful woman team up.
* Pretty much implied with the combined Fairy Tail Team in the Grand Magic Games arc in ''Manga/FairyTail'', as Mirajane put it, consisting of [[TheHero Natsu]], [[TheLancer Gajeel]], [[TheSmartGuy Gray]], [[TheBigGuy Laxus]] and [[TheChick Erza]].
--> '''Mirajane''': This truly is the strongest team....
* In ''Anime/GirlsUndPanzer'', the All Stars University team is, as seen from the name, is not any particular university tankery team, but a team consists of the best university tankery practitioners that were handpicked by the Japanese Tankery Federation to play in the World Tournament. The team is even stronger than adult pro teams Japan has, so when Ooarai is slotted to fight this team because of a corrupt ministry official's scheme in their effort to save their school, [[spoiler:various high schools decide to aid Ooarai by joining forces to make a comparable dream team of their own. Awesome battle ensues]].
* In ''Manga/DrStone'' Chapter 148, the Kingdom of Science deploys their All-Star Linup (consisting of [[ActionGirl Kohaku]], [[spoiler:[[TheAce Tsukasa]], [[BladeOnAStick Hyoga]], [[DarkActionGirl Homura, Kirisame]], [[HaremSeeker Moz]], [[UndyingLoyalty Matsukaze]],]] and [[LovableCoward Ginrou]]) against a clan of giant alligators... who they defeat and turn into gator burgers.
* PlayedForLaughs in ''Manga/SlamDunk''. Moichi Taoka, Ryonan's coach, was hoping to form this by having Uozumi and Sendoh along with three other players who'd end up playing for Shohoku: Mitsui, Miyagi and Rukawa. He bitterly recalls how each of them rejected him each year when he tried to scout them: Mitsui and Miyagi for being indebted to Coach Anzai, and Rukawa because it's closer to his home.

** [[TheHero Luffy]], [[spoiler:[[VillainousHarlequin Buggy]], [[DirtyCoward Mr.3]], [[AgentPeacock Mr.2 Bon Clay]], [[CreepyCrossdresser Emporio Ivankov]], [[Film/EdwardScissorhands Inazuma]], [[SharkMan Jimbei]], ''[[TheChessmaster Crocodile]]'', and [[PsychoForHire Mr.1]]]] teaming up is definitely squee-material.

* The expanded Dept. of Hotness from the MegaCrossover fic, FanFic/Hottie3TheBestFanFicInTheWorld. Members include the TropeNamers themselves.

* Kuroko's former team in ''Manga/KurokoNoBasuke'' was considered the Generation of Miracles, each member being a total prodigy and together they won the middle school basketball championships three times in a row.

* In ''Manga/DrStone'' Chapter 148, the Kingdom of Science deploys their All-Star Linup (consisting of Kohaku, [[spoiler:Tsukasa, Hyoga, Homura, Kirisame, Moz, Matsukaze]], and Ginrou) against a clan of giant alligators... who they defeat and turn into gator burgers.

* The entire premise of ''WesternAnimation/TurtlesForever'' is based upon this - The [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 80s Turtles]] team up with the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 00s Turtles]] [[spoiler:and later, the [[ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesMirage Turtles from the Mirage comic book]] ''and'' Krang & the 80's Shredder]] to stop [[spoiler:the 00's Shredder from destroying the TMNT multiverse]].

The name of the chapter? "The Strongest Team is Formed - Shake Impel Down to its Core!"

* ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'' Version 7 has the girl's basketball team for George Hunter High, which is stacked with a ridiculous level of talent. Two players have ambitions of going pro while three-five of the others are at least considering college ball. For a real life high school team, that amount of skill on one side is pretty much unthinkable.

* Music/InformationSociety and Music/{{Ayria}}, of all people, collaborated on an {{industrial}} cover of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGbZVpgabWA Heffalumps and Woozles]]" from ''Disney/TheManyAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh''.

* In ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'', Viole's new team, consisting of himself, Ran and Novick, Horyang, Cassano and some [=FUG=] members. Outright referred to as "a perfect team" by Novick. [[spoiler: Averted when they get their asses handed to them by Leesoo's team.]]

* ''VideoGame/MarvelUltimateAlliance3TheBlackOrder'', your Alliance heroes are initially a mix of the Guardians of the Galaxy, members of various incarnations of the Avengers and a bunch of independents like Venom and Spider-Gwen. If one of your heroes asks Nick Fury if they should go and get reinforcements, Nick says no and that any commanding officer could only dream of having a team like this. And then the Alliance gets a massive power boost when the X-Men, a bunch of supernatural specialists and the street-level Defenders join in. Plus even more heroes come along if you bought the Season Pass, including the Fantastic Four.

** England's 1966 side, famed for playing a 4-2-4 formation that is extremely unconventional even by today's standards of ever shifting formations - back then, in the days of perpetual 4-4-2, it was bloody unique - and, on their victory, earned them the sobriquet 'the Wingless Wonders'. The tireless stamina this required as well as the fact that the World Cup was being played on home soil helped spur them on, beating West Germany in the final, with striker Geoff Hurst scoring the first and only hat trick in a World Cup final. One of those goals, to put England 3-2 up and effectively win the game (Hurst scored the 4th at the very last minute, when fans were already streaming onto the pitch to celebrate, leading to the famous, "They think it's all over, they think it's all over, it is now!" from commentator Kenneth Wolstenhome) was famously controversial, as it bounced off the bar. English fans say it bounced in and that Liverpool striker Roger Hunt's wheeling away to celebrate when he was set to follow up proves it. German fans say that it bounced out and all that proves is that Hunt needed glasses. [[note]] When England faced Germany at the 2010 World Cup and were, at 2-1 down, denied a similar goal, a lot of German fans said, "That was for '66." English fans were not amused and Germany went on to win [[CurbstompBattle 4-1]]. [[/note]]

* In ''Series/Supergirl2015''/''Series/TheFlash2014'' crossover franchise ''Fanfic/CallMeKara'', The Justice League, in both universes. While there are bigger threats that need the whole League's attention, Weather Wizard immediately surrenders when he finds himself being confronted with Earth's mightiest heroes (Comicbook/{{Supergirl}}, Franchise/{{Superman}}, Franchise/TheFlash, Franchise/GreenArrow...)
