Brainstorm: Think of a Super Team Name

a brainstorm is where you come up with as many ideas as possible. for every 10 bad ideas, one good one will stand out.
so lets toss out as many team names as possible.

I had a PnP Champions game where our team name was the "[u]Guardians of Destiny[/u]"...just so we could pull a Blues Brothers and say we were on a "Mission from G.O.D."
there was also a super team set up in Orlando, called "[u]Southern Comfort.[/u]"
another was "[u]Magi Kinights.[/u]"

others I can think of are
The Stalwart
The Corsairs
the Psions of Cain
Rottweiler and his amazing friends
the Valiant

This reminds me of a PnP Star

This reminds me of a PnP Star Wars game I was in where our business name was Bad Company. We... weren't good people, but dammit we got the job done. It was partially inspired by Five Finger Death Punch's cover of the same titled song, which was popular on airplay rotation at the time. My character was also partially inspired by Cap'n Hands from Playstation game Loaded. He started off as a throw-away character for what was probably going to be a single play session but ended up being one of my favorite characters in a decently run campaign.

Can always take a historical

Can always take a historical name and butcher it...

Minuet Men: A group with dance-related powers.
Minute (pronounced my-newt) Men: People like Ant Man.
Pinot Men: A group that only has powers when drunk.

Of course, all three would have someone named Garvey who never does anything useful and constantly pawns all his duties off on you.

[ x-REDACTED-x ] - Super

[b][ x-REDACTED-x ][/b] - Super Powered Government spy organization that exclusively uses Grapple Hooks and government issued vehicles for travel powers. And whenever you ask them a question, they preface the answer with "Are you cleared for that?"
[b][Fight Club][/b] - Surprised that this hasn't appeared on the list. Essentially only normals with the equivalent of Brawl or Kick powers.
[b][For the Greater Good] / [Unity] / [Clone Army][/b] - For any of the group collective or hive mind collection of beings
[b][Slightly Off][/b] - A team of extremely accurate clones, but one thing (appearance-wise) is different on each character
[b][Studio 54][/b] - An all "dance" controller team
[b][The Underground][/b] - This team does not follow the norms. They actually specialize in underground content (if there is any). Or they operate in/for the gray areas of the world.
[b][We Mostly Come Out At Night, Mostly][/b] - Late night crew, or people that only play during the night cycle, or people that play lycanthropes
[b][Promise Me You'll Never Die][/b] - Team of Defenders that roam the streets helping solo players (buffs, heals, whatever). (ref. Team America World Police)
[b][Warhammer][/b] - A team of Space Marines that accidentally got sent back in time, but must still enforce the Emperor's will/edict.
[b][The A Team][/b] - If they are going to be called super "teams" instead of super "groups", this is bound to happen. Plus you need somewhere to stash your Hannibal/Face/Murdoch/BA alts.
[b][The B Team][/b] - The supers you call in when first stringers aren't available. Think Mystery Men or the B Team (Robot Chicken-esque)

There you go, ten plus one ideas. One of them should be good, right?

How about some villain super

How about some villain super teams?
Like "The Carnival" your obligatory circus/carnival themed group with evil acrobats, clowns and strongmen
or "The Institute" for your standard evil mad scientist types trying to take over the world

The NPAA: A group that's

The NPAA: A group that's neutral on terms of villains and heroes, They're more of a motorcycle except with power armour instead of motor bikes, they hang together once a week to talk shop about power armours, and some have even taken their power armours and used them to either stop or commit crime under a mask. NPAA stands for "National Power Armour association"
The Odd Gentlemen: A group of steampunk heroes from another universe trying to fight crime and find a way home

Okay, a serious one...

Here's one I was actually thinking of doing:

H.A.V.E.N. - Human Abnormal & Variant Emergency Network. A group of gene-freaks (of any origin) and normal folks who protect normal people from the variants who go bad, but also protect variants/abnormals (the good ones) from hate groups & lynch mobs.
Kind of like the Sanctuary from Sci-fi channel, except... competent.
Or like the X-men, except... weird science creations, normal folk, et al, may also apply.

The Good Guys, for a

[b][i]The Good Guys[/i][/b], for a supervillain team. They show up and announce "the Good Guys are here". Or tell people "Don't worry, we're the Good Guys"

[hr]I like to take your ideas and supersize them. This isn't criticism, it is flattery. I come with nothing but good will and a spirit of team-building. If you take what I write any other way, that is probably just because I wasn't very clear.

For some reason this reminded me of those scenes from Mars Attacks! when the Martians were running around zapping people left and right and they were announcing things through the translator like "Don't run, we are your friends." :)
