Does Not Illustrate: Power Trio

As Fast Eddie recently pointed out in Ask The Tropers, a Power Trio is about the three characters interacting with each other. The picture just shows the superheroes standing there. On top of that the caption is just a chained sinkhole about how they're powerful.

nope nope nope. With well over a dozen different versions of the trope, showing Batman, Superman, and Wonderwoman doesn't work. Especially since it doesn't even indicate which one they fall into.

Pull and leave imageless.

It's pulled...doesn't get more JAFAAC than that. I'm also voting BUPKIS.

Leave imageless, I would say here.

Could work, but it would need a caption mentioning d'Artagnan.

I am concerned that such an image - not exactly the same - is on True Companions already.

^^ Why? It is a Super-Trope about groups of three...

(Taking issue with "need", but such a caption might be fine.)

There is four musketeers, or at least "3+1". All four make a Four Temperament Ensemble.

The book is The Three Musketeers because that's how many they started out with. If we don't go with that we can go with The Three Amigos or The Powerpuff Girls.

[up] Same problem as the pulled pic, for me - all trio, no power.

Hmm, anyone want to go poking around for some good action shots from Avatar The Last Airbender or The Legend Of Korra?

15 is good. They look united in purpose, not just interacting with each other like the Ensembles page says. Is interacting with each other not enough for an ensemble?

Having matching uniforms helps too.

Best one so far, and it works.

Bump; any other thoughts on 15?

I figure the Fire Ferrets one is worth uploading. Here's a link to the DeviantArt page.
