be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’re looking at
our very favorite superhero teams
appearing in Marvel Comics and ranking
them based on popularity longevity and
significance number 10 the guardians of
the galaxy we all know and love them as
the loveable rogues from the hit film
series but this team has been around a
lot longer than you might think
originally appearing in 1969 the first
team to use the name were a group of
freedom fighters from the distant future
who stood up against the evil baboon
space Empire which by that point had
conquered earth but the team that went
on to inspire the movies were first
formed in the wake of Marvel’s
annihilation events two galactic crises
which cemented the need for a team of
cosmic heroes to keep the space way safe
a task they were more than up to number
9 x-force being an x-man isn’t glamorous
at the best of times what with the whole
defending a world that hates and fears
you think
but when Marvel’s marry mutants need to
get their hands a little dirty this is
the team they assemble featuring
characters like cable Deadpool Wolverine
and phantom X this is the x-men’s black
ops team for missions that may get just
a little bit murdery of course they get
to wear awesome black and grey variants
of their traditional uniforms so I think
we can agree it’s a fair trade-off the
x-men are generally the good guys but
even the good guys need to get rough
sometimes
number 8 runaways
if you think your parents are mean spare
a thought for this collection of
teenaged heroes who find out that their
folks are part of a secret cabal of
super villains including aliens time
travelers and warlocks naturally the
teens go on the run to try and do
whatever they can to stop their parents
nefarious schemes and cope with the
trauma of losing their homes at the same
time first appearing in 2003 this team
and the comics they appear in have
become a cult hit
thanks to their relatable and nuanced
characters and besides who doesn’t love
a team with a pet Velociraptor number 7

the great white north isn’t all poutine
and moose burgers Canada is no stranger
to supervillain threats and when the
True North strong and free is under
attack it’s up to this homegrown team to
protect it led by the super suited
Vindicator and featuring sasquatch
Aurora puck shaman Snowbird and a whole
roster of others this team has been an
underappreciated Marvel staple for years
and was even Wolverines first team
affiliation before joining up with the
x-men they’ve had a storied history
spread out over a number of ongoing
series in miniseries and we’re always
happy to see Canada’s finest superhero
team gracing comic store shelves number
6 Heroes for Hire so please will you
take the case sure but we’ll need half
our fee up front Hey superheroes gotta
eat – originally formed by the
enterprising duo of Luke Cage aka Power
Man and Iron Fist this group is sort of
like what you get if you cross the x-men
with the xviii a group of super-powered
heroes who will help out anyone who can
afford it of course the team often works
pro bono to help out those in need who
can’t afford their fees with a rotating
cast that included everyone from the
Black Knight to Deadpool the team is
quite the formidable force and has gone
through a number of iterations since
their first appearance in 1978 number 5
the inhuman royal family millions of
years ago the alien career ace came to
earth with the intention of using the
indigenous population that’s us to
engineer a race of super soldiers to aid
in their war against the shape-shifting
scrawls the plan didn’t quite work out
in the Kree abandoned the project but
the descendants of those genetically
altered by the Kree retained fantastic
abilities leading to this powerful group
led by a royal family from a secret city
on the Dark Side of the Moon called a de
LAN there are some of the most powerful
super humans around they’ve come to
Earth’s defense before so long as we
stay on their good side number four the
defenders you may be familiar with the
street-level team from the Netflix
series of the same name but in the
comics this team has included some major
heavy hitters originally consisting of
dr. strange
Namor the Hulk and later the Silver
Surfer the group has since gone on to
expand its roster to include a number of
heroes like Valkyrie and Hercules yes
the
Keely’s they’re often considered one of
the most powerful teams in marvel and
with a roster including God’s mythical
champions and a former Herald of
Galactus it isn’t hard to see why this
is one team of powerhouses you
definitely don’t want to mess with
number three the Fantastic Four we know
we know Marvel’s first family haven’t
been treated too well when they’ve
attempted to transition to the big
screen say that again but there’s a
reason the team has stuck around for
over fifty years
granted incredible powers by a dose of
cosmic rays the family of adventurers
isn’t just about fighting supervillains
and street crime they’ve traveled too
far off galaxies had time-traveling
escapades to plenty and even met God no
really the roster has had a few shake
ups over the years with heroes like
spider-man and she-hulk occasionally
joining the team but the true FF will
always be Reed sue Ben and Johnny number
2 the Avengers that’s what we call
ourselves sort of like a team Earth’s
Mightiest Heroes time Frank assembled to
fight the foes no single hero could
withstand this iconic team is the front
line of the Marvel Universe
the creme de la creme of the superhero
scene led most often by Captain America
and featuring some of the Marvel
Universe’s best and brightest there are
the kinds of heroes and legends that
popular film franchises are made of
first brought together when Thor’s
brother Loki took control of the Hulk’s
mind the group really found its footing
when Captain America was found frozen
and took over leadership of the team
after a little defrosting since then
they’ve been the standard bearers for
the Marvel Universe through thick and
not too bad team not too bad yourself I
am man number one the x-men what is this
place true they aren’t as shiny and
mythic as the number two entry on our
list but let’s face it any team with
this much Wolverine as automatically
number one in our books a group of
outcasts forced to defend a world that
hates and fears them this team has been
one of the dominant forces in comics
history setting industry trends since
their first appearance in 1963 their
roster is in the hundreds and they face
down robots aliens not terribly good
film installments gods and everything
else the universe could throw at them
and if you need any more convincing what
