[[folder:Mythology]]
* Myth/ClassicalMythology has the Argonauts, a group of sailors organized to hunt for the legendary golden fleece. Among their number, [[DependingOnTheWriter which varies with the telling]], were many preexisting heroes, including Jason ( the leader), Heracles, the twins Castor and Pollux, the god of medicine Asclepius, and the legendary musician and prophet, Orpheus. Many pop culture historians consider the Argonauts the UrExample of a Super Team, though some members were just {{Badass Normal}}s.
** Another group with a similarly prestigious membership formed to hunt down the Calydonian Boar that was besieging the land of Calydon. It... [[DownerEnding did not end well]], though [[PyrrhicVictory at least they did kill it]].

* ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'''s SOS-dan is this. TheTeam consist of a TeamNormal human, an alien, an Esper, and a Time Traveller, and a PhysicalGod. Though with the genre being SliceOfLife, most action happens within the {{Masquerade}} and they're mostly a team of supers who [[ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything do nothing but have fun]].

** Creator/GrantMorrison's ComicBook/SevenSoldiers incarnation stretches the very idea of a super team to its limits; In order to keep the new Soldiers from being killed by the Sheeda like the previous team, they have to be sure that ''none of them ever meet each other''. Seven people who don't know one another even exist have to accidentally work together to save the world from a threat they aren't aware of.

** Outside of the school, super-teams are fairly common; most nations have at least one, as do most US states, of various sizes and degrees of organization. Many cities have at least one local team, while major cities such as [[SuperheroCapitalOfTheWorld New York]] or Los Angeles may have two or more. It has been mentioned that most teams only last about ten years, though usually a new group will form some time after the previous one retires.

* The Seven from ''Series/TheBoys'' are a team of {{Smug Super}}s that primarily have popularity due to keeping up a veneer of humility when they deal with the public, but are not above using their powers to get what they want and basically have god complexes like crazy. They are the primary [[VillainWithGoodPublicity villains]] of the series because of this. Prior to their formation, the primary SuperTeam was Payback, and the series mentions several other teams, all of whom are controlled by [[MegaCorp Vought]].

* ''XCOM Legends'' an {{Interquel}} between VideoGame/{{XCOM2}} and VideoGame/XCOMChimeraSquad treats the current incarnation of XCOM as this. Besides having standard XCOM personnel, there members from other factions: Aliens, Templars, Skirmishers, Exalt and etc. are also part of the overall team. With every member having special skills or actual powers derived from innate psionics, weird genetics, unique tech items and extensive bionics - this XCOM is a MilitarySuperhero team not unlike ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' which some of the XCOM Legends characters are [[{{Expy}} based on]].

* In ''Literature/LegendsOfTheRedSun'', you get a NewWeird version. The EvilChancelor Urtica needs an effective measure against increasing crime rates and he also wants to score publicity points, so he needs heroes...no SUPER HEROES. So similar to the [[SuperSoldiers Night Guard]] military, he has his government [[MadScientist cultists]] take 3 individuals and alter them with gene therapy and/or bionics to give them unique powers. Urtica then introduces them as the Viljamur Knights.
