Works titled after the organization or team that they revolve around. A blanket way of naming Character Titles.
If it names the characters explicitly (or implicitly by numbering), it's a Multi Character Title. If their team name is their number, it's The Notable Numeral. If the team is a group of parents/children/siblings/cousins or otherwise relations, it's a Family Title.
Examples of Team Title include:
Anime and Manga[]
- Genshiken
- Haibane Renmei
- Eden of the East
- Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade
- K-On!
- Ouran High School Host Club
- Fairy Tail
Comic Books[]
- X-Men
- Runaways plays with it. The team isn't called "The Runaways" until long, long after they are established as a superhero team. Even then, it's used sparingly.
- Justice League of America
- Justice Society of America
- Fantastic Four
- The Avengers
- Young Avengers
- West Coast Avengers
- Force Works
- Teen Titans
- Young Justice
- Damage Control
- Secret Six
- Subverted with Birds of Prey. The titular group doesn't actually have a name. After many years of publication, one character suggests they call themselves the "Birds of Prey" and is shot down.
