Superheroes like to get together and form teams. Some of these teams, like the Avengers or the Justice League, become the gold standards; the teams that every hero dreams of becoming a part of one day. Then there are teams like the X-Men and Teen Titans, which only allow in heroes who fit a very specific standard.

And while every comic reader can tell you the basics about teams like the Legion of Super-Heroes or the Guardians of the Galaxy, there are countless other superhero teams that have all but been forgotten over time. Some were popular once, while others never stood a chance. Still, they have each left a mark on the history of comics in one form or another, even if most readers have never heard of them.

10 The Craptacular B-Sides Were Never Going To Make It

b side craptacular

As their name suggests, the Craptacular B-Sides weren't the average superhero team. Three disenfranchised teens from Raven's Perch, New Jersey are turned into a superhero team by Charley Huckle, a local con man looking to make some quick cash.

The team's one and only appearance was in their own 3-issue miniseries, in which they team up with the Fantastic Four and manage to stop another Kree-Skrull War from starting in their hometown. In essence, the Craptacular B-Sides are a Sex Pistols version of a superhero team; they put together just to make money and were never meant to last.

9 The Daydreamers Are Just A Faded Memory

Daydreamers

Following the events of Onslaught and the apparent deaths of the Fantastic Four and Avengers, Franklin Richards was sent to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters to learn to control his mutant powers. There, Franklin became friends with Artie Maddicks and Leech. In time, the trio met the stranded alien Tana Nile and Howard the Duck. When Black Tom attacked the school, Franklin called on Man-Thing to protect them, and the Daydreamers were born.

Franklin brought the team to a pocket dimension of his own creation where he tried to work through the pain of losing his family. The other members of the team helped Franklin deal with his trauma as best they could.

8 The Exiles Were Exiled By Marvel

Exiles from Malibu Comics

Before Marvel created their own popular version of the Exiles, the name was used for a super team in Malibu Comics' Ultraverse. The team was created by Dr. Rachel Deming, who believed that superpowered people were inherently heroic and did not need training, didn't last long; their four-issue series lasted just 18-hours in their own timeline and ended with at least one member dying.

Malibu was bought up by Marvel in 1994, just a year after Exiles debuted.

In 1995, Marvel canceled all the Ultraverse titles due to low sales before trying to reboot the universe with a major crossover between the Ultraverse characters and Marvel's heroes. Less than a year later, the books were once again canceled.

7 The Ravagers Is Better Off Being Forgotten

Ravagers a DC team from the New 52 Era

When Superboy, the Teen Titans, and some members of the Legion of Super-Heroes who were trapped in the 21st century found themselves in the hands of N.O.W.H.E.R.E., they were split into two groups and forced to fight one another, with the victors of the battles becoming the Ravagers, an elite fighting team.

After escaping from N.O.W.H.E.R.E., a number of young heroes chose to stick together, including Beastboy, Raven, Caitlin Fairchild, and Rose Wilson. Ravagers lasted just 13-issues and were pretty much wiped out of DC continuity with the end of the New 52 era.

6 The T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents May One Day Rise Again

Created by Len Brown and Wally Wood, T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents was originally published by Tower Comics from 1965 until the company's demise in 1969. Still, the team had a fanbase that was always hoping to see them return, and in 1981, a new T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents series was published by JC Comics.

Over the years, the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents have found a home at Deluxe, DC, and IDW, with a total of 51 issues across fifty years. Still, the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents are a beloved concept that seems to always find a way back into comic shops.

5 Superboy And The Ravers Was Destined To Fail

Superboy and the Ravers

A little burnt out from the whole superhero thing, Conner Kent, the clone of Superman and Lex Luthor, decided to head off with Sparx to a never-ending party called the Event Horizon rave. There, Superboy meets up with other superpowered teens and they form a team, the Ravers.

Across 18-issues of their own series, Superboy and the Ravers had a handful of adventures, but the team ultimately broke up when the Event Horizon rave came to a close. Superboy went on to join Young Justice while the rest of the Ravers faded into obscurity.

4 Fantastic Force Was Too Extreme To Be Good

Marvel Comics' Fantastic Force

The 1990s were a hard time for Marvel and DC. Todd McFarlane, Rob Liefeld, Jim Lee, and the other main players of Image Comics had gone off to create their own empires, and the two main publishers were looking like old-timers in the face of new characters and teams like Spawn, Youngblood, and WildC.A.T.S.

In one of the many attempts to play catch-up, Marvel created Fantastic Force, a spin-off of the Fantastic Four that was looking to cash in on the "extreme" vibe of the Image books. Fantastic Force, which included an adult version of Franklin Richards as the leader, lasted just 18-issues.

3 DNAgents Did The Impossible And Then Vanished

DNAgents

Creators Mark Evanier and artist Will Meugniot were offered deas with both Marvel and DC for their superhero team concept, but the duo decided that they wanted to hold onto all merchandise and film rights themselves rather than sell to either of the big two. Evanier and Meugniot's DNAgents was published by Eclipse Comics, a major independent publisher in the 1980s.

Overall, the duo created 41-issues across two series. DNAgents was popular enough to get their own sourcebook for the Fantasy Games Unlimited superhero role-playing game, Villains and Vigilantes and had a secret crossover with DC Comics in #14 of their own series and Tales of the Teen Titans #48. The DNAgents haven't been seen since they had a cameo in Savage Dragon #41.

2 Hero Hotline Never Got Called Up

DC Comics Hero Hotline

There are a lot of problems in the DC Universe that need superhero intervention, but sometimes the big-name heroes like Flash and Black Canary are too busy to help out. When the well-known heroes can't show up to handle a problem, the citizens of the DCU could call 1-800-555-HERO to connect with Hero Hotline.

The Hero Hotline was a corporate 24/7 hero for hire company that anyone could call for any problem. Usually, the members of Hero Hotline dealt with minor issues, like cats in trees, but on occasion, they had to fight a low-level supervillain. Hero Hotline lasted just six issues, and no mention of the company has been made since 2006.

1 Knights of the Galaxy Are Still Waiting For Their Time To Come

DC Comics Knights of the Galaxy

A legendary team of commandos living in the 25th Century, the Knights of the Galaxy were one of DC's first teams to be active in the future. While the team never had their own series, they made a number of appearances in Mystery in Space and showed up in Justice League of America twice.

The Knights of the Galaxy were last seen in the three-issue series Twilight by Howard Chaykin and Jose Luis Garcia Lopez, which acted as a closing chapter to the many science fiction space heroes of DC's Silver Age.
