The Green Team: Teen Trillionaires was a short-lived comic-book series published by DC Comics as part of the New 52 initiative. A reworking of another short-lived series from the 1970's, it follows the adventures of a bunch of rich kids who use their money to acquire high-tech gadgets, visit exotic locations, and do things that only rich folks could get away with.
This series contains examples of:
- Adaptational Name Change: The fourth Green Teamer goes from "Abdul Smith" to Prince Mohammed Qahtanii.
- Anti-Hero: Some of their investments may revolutionize the world and help millions, but for the most part our protagonists are motivated by their own personal concerns and can be pretty reckless about collateral damage.
- Aristocrat Team: In their original incarnation, they were billed as "boy millionaires" and used their money to have adventures. The revamped version are "teen trillionaires" and are able to buy superpowers.
- Conspicuous Consumption: Surely this can't be a surprise. The most prominent example is Commodore's unrestrained funding of crazy technology, including salvaging a crashed Batmobile.
- Crimefighting with Cash: In theory, the Green Team uses their gear to help people. In practice, any crime fighting they actually do is reluctant.
- Fad Super: The series was created to cash in on people's fascination with teen entrepreneurs. It was also intended to contrast with The Movement, which was about superpowered teen activists.
- Fiction 500: All the main characters. Commodore in particular is loaded and set to inherit a 64 trillion dollar trust fund in a few years. Just for context, right now the Fed estimates that there's a little over one trillion US dollars in circulation in the world.
- Gender Flip: The seventies version has Cecil Sunbeam, kid movie director. The New 52 version has Cecilia Sunbeam, starlet.
- Mysterious Past: Whatever Mohammed's bodyguard did before his current job, it let him rub shoulders with, and be owed a favor from, Deathstroke.
- Social Media Before Reason: Commodore is initially puzzled as to how the assassin has tracked them down, until it's learned that Prince Mohammed has been posting his location to a Facebook equivalent.
- Unwilling Roboticisation: Happens to Cecilia as she uses Commodore's experimental power armor.
