In Worm, the Chinese Yangban are built around a pair of Parahumans: Null can spread a single power amongst a group at the cost of proportionally reducing its power, and Two can enhance powers which counteracts Null's downside. The end result is that every member has every power at about two-thirds of the original strength. They're extremely hard to fight, because they're also trained to attack in concert, and they usually bring a power that lets them resurrect dead teammates. | |

With This Ring: When the Justice League recognizes that they need a more structured expansion plan than just "recruit superheroes we all personally know," Paul proposes several options, of which his favourite (but one he knows they won't pick) is to use Earth's various bits of super science to make their own heroes with standardized powers. | |

One issue of What If? had four stories in which the members of the Fantastic Four all got the "same" powerset rather than four different ones. All flame-users like the Human Torch, all monsters like the Thing, etc. The invisibility chapter "cheated" as each member got a different power related to invisibility. | |

The US adaptation Power Rangers mostly follows suit, but has a tendency in later seasons to give each member a different stock superpower that they can use without transforming, as well as for the Red Ranger to gain an exclusive Super Mode. The latter would eventually pass back into Super Sentai, but usually in the form of an Upgrade Artifact that other team members can borrow when Red is unavailable. | |

Averted in Golden Sun. It's possible to switch Djinn around until your entire party has the same spell loadout, but doing so greatly decreases your stats and makes using Summon Magic tricky (since the Djinn you use to summon also govern what type of magic you have). | |

Claymore warriors are usually created having the exact same powers as cadets and rookies, aside from the exceptionally gifted ones. However, as they gain more experience and control, they usually develop their own techniques and powers which rarely makes any two the same. | |

Kamen Rider Ghost: Ghost, Spectre and Necrom all transform by equipping the Eyecons of historical figures, and indeed Ghost and Spectres' Transformation Trinkets are identical apart from coming with different weapons. Each also has a unique Eyecon which serves as their base form, but these can still be passed around if needed. Even when Ghost unlocks three character-exclusive Super Modes, Spectre receives Palette Swap versions of two of them. Originally Necrom's suit was set apart by its Explosive Overclocking function and the ability to absorb other Ganma to recover energy, but the former is never used and he loses the latter after joining the heroes, presumably because it would be overpowered. | |

In The Stormlight Archive, there are ten orders of Knights Radiant, and two members of the same order will have the same Surgebinding abilities (which they also share with one of the ten Heralds). Each of their two Surges are also shared with one of the other orders, and all ten have some basic abilities in common. | |

The commonality of this trope in the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender is why the Avatar is special. Different nations and groups of people can bend earth, wind, fire and water, and indeed teams with different abilities (like our heroes) are an exception. The Avatar is, himself, a walking One-Man Army capable of bending every element on a scale equal to entire armies, especially in the Avatar State. | |

The Flash: The Flash Family, originally formed in the Silver Age by grouping up the Golden Age Flash, Jay Garrick, with Silver Age Flash, and Barry Allen, his Kid Sidekick Kid Flash, Wally West, with several reprint specials also including unrelated character Johnny Quick/Jack Chambers as part of it. When Wally West became the Flash, the concept was revived and expanded on, including himself, Jay Garrick, another Golden Age Super Speed hero Max Mercury (originally named Quicksilver), as well as new characters Johnny's daughter, Jesse Chambers, AKA Jesse Quick, and Bratty Half-Pint Kid from the Future Bart Allen, AKA Impulse. For some stories, they were also joined by Bart's cousin Jenni 'XS' Ognats. Much later, after Wally and his wife Linda Park had twins, Jai and Irey, they too joined the line-up. After Barry Allen was revived, the Flash Family were briefly featured in The Flash: Rebirth, but all of them outside of Barry were quickly pushed to the wayside and Exiled from Continuity because Executive Meddling from those Running the Asylum believed that the Flash Family induced Uniqueness Decay and made Barry Allen less special. However, the popularity of these characters lead to them eventually being reintroduced, but not until after a new Flash Family had formed with the new Kid Flash, Wallace West (the original's cousin, created during the time he was exiled from continuity to 'replace' him), as well as The Flash of China, Avery Ho, and Evil Former Friend turned Anti-Hero Substitute August Heart, Godspeed. When the previous Flash Family were brought back, the two groups merged into one big happy family. |

The Crystal Gems of Steven Universe do have unique powers (Pearl can make Hard Light copies of herself, Garnet can predict the future), but they tend to be situational, inappropriate for combat, or curiously underutilized. The vast majority of their fighting is done with the powers inherent to all gems (made before a certain period): Super Strength, Super Toughness, creating an individual-specific weapon, regenerating from a Heart Drive if their body is damaged, and creating a Containment Field to keep other gems from regenerating. Theoretically, they can all shapeshift, but their aptitude with it varies. Outside the main team, there are gems whose primary ability is more different than a weapon (like Lapis Lazuli, Bismuth, and, eventually, Peridot) and some newer gems use non-summoned weapons to compensate for physical weakness. | |

Kamen Rider: Shows up sometimes in series with a Gotta Catch Them All element, where the central Plot Coupons That Do Something can be used by multiple characters (albeit said characters aren't always on the same side). Kamen Rider Gaim: Every Armored Rider transforms by inserting a Lockseed into a Sengoku Driver (or later a Genesis Driver), providing different armor and powersets depending on the seed used. While there is some minor variation between Drivers (e.g. different undersuit designs, higher or lower power output, or coming with a sword), most types of Lockseed exist in large numbers and can be passed between users freely, as can the Drivers themselves. Characters only begin to display exclusive powers towards the end of the series, due to some of them mutating into Overlords. Kamen Rider Ghost: Ghost, Spectre and Necrom all transform by equipping the Eyecons of historical figures, and indeed Ghost and Spectres' Transformation Trinkets are identical apart from coming with different weapons. Each also has a unique Eyecon which serves as their base form, but these can still be passed around if needed. Even when Ghost unlocks three character-exclusive Super Modes, Spectre receives Palette Swap versions of two of them.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Zigzagged with demigods. They all have the same basic powers, but depending on the particular divine parent, a demigod can also have extra powers that other demigods do not have. However, most protagonist teams in the series are made of demigods with different parentages. In the camp of the demigods, however, the respective cabins compete against each other in different competitions (in one cabin each, the children are from an Olympic god). In these competitions, this trope is played straight. It is also played with the hunters of Artemis. The goddess Artemis welcomes girls who are virgins and makes them immortal. In addition they get still some further forces, which are however always the same. |

Dragon Quest IX zigzags this: Unlike VI, spells are not kept when switching classes, but the huge stat boosts that can be acquired during that class are, helping to avert Squishy Wizard. In addition, the combo system makes a party composed entirely of a single class not unattractive, as casting the same spell or ability repeatedly (including a standard attack) increases the damage done. | |

Doable in several of the Final Fantasy games, particularly in ones where you can freely choose classes. In Final Fantasy, for instance, a player can start the game with a party all of the same class, which ranges from the frightfully easy — Black Belts in particular require no equipment and turn into hideously destructive killbots down the line — to crazy hard — a party of four White Mages will have a lot of trouble doing damage. This was a criticism of certain games in the series, notably Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII and Final Fantasy XII, where the game systems effectively encouraged the characters to all develop the same skills, making them essentially interchangeable. It's not for the whole game, but a couple of the early tutorial battles in Final Fantasy IX are fought by Zidane alongside his Tantalus compadres — all thieves. |

Green Lantern: The Green Lantern Corps, except for a few outliers, all have the same Imagination-Based Superpower. They all vary in control and application, however, since it's fueled by willpower. The other Corps also apply—but their abilities differ from color to color. The Orange Lanterns fit this best of all, because they are all ring constructs created by the one actual Orange Lantern, Larfleeze. The creators of the Lanterns, the Guardians, all have the same powers as well. Of course, when that power is technically Reality Warping, you really don't need anything else. The Manhunters, another group of space police created by the Guardians, are all androids with a uniform set of powers and abilities. |

Most Super Sentai teams fit this, barring the Sixth Ranger. Their insignificant differences typically encompass their weapons/fighting styles, Humongous Mecha, and color schemes, but their abilities are usually uniform. | |

Warhammer 40,000: The Eldar specialize in this, with each of their units being a specialist in some form of combat. However, it is expected that each Eldar try to maintain some flexibility, so their units' leaders are referred to as "having lost themselves on the Path" they were following. | |

The Powerpuff Girls all have identical powers, which included flight, super strength, and laser vision. Among others. Later, however, they each started gaining new superpowers; for example, one story dealt with Blossom gaining frost breath. Said episode also explains that each of the girls has one ability unique to themselves. For example, Bubbles is apparently an innate omniglot. | |

In Final Fantasy, for instance, a player can start the game with a party all of the same class, which ranges from the frightfully easy — Black Belts in particular require no equipment and turn into hideously destructive killbots down the line — to crazy hard — a party of four White Mages will have a lot of trouble doing damage. | |

Superman: The Man of Steel is often paired up with other Kryptonians like Supergirl, Power Girl, Superboy, Krypto, as well as Daxamites like Mon-El. Each of them (barring the occasional bizarre retcon) are basically Flying Bricks. Likewise, the Phantom Zone criminals are all Kryptonians with the same set of powers. The Superman Emergency Squad was made up of Kandorians (Kryptonians from the bottle city of Kandor). Inside Kandor they have no powers, but outside, as Kryptonians they have the same powers as Superman. The Hypertension storyarc in Superboy's own book featured him leading an army of his alternate counterparts against another counterpart that had gone rogue. |

Kamen Rider Gaim: Every Armored Rider transforms by inserting a Lockseed into a Sengoku Driver (or later a Genesis Driver), providing different armor and powersets depending on the seed used. While there is some minor variation between Drivers (e.g. different undersuit designs, higher or lower power output, or coming with a sword), most types of Lockseed exist in large numbers and can be passed between users freely, as can the Drivers themselves. Characters only begin to display exclusive powers towards the end of the series, due to some of them mutating into Overlords. | |

The Metal Men are a team of metal robot people who all have shape-shifting powers. The variance comes from the fact that they're all made up of different metals, which all have different properties. For example, Gold is an excellent energy conductor and very malleable, while Lead is more of an insulator and much heavier. | |

In The Dark Artifices, the main protagonists are all nephilim, but one of them is also a half-fairy, and has some fairie powers, which is why it is an "Almost Identically Powered Team". | |

The Deadpool Corps, made up of various Alternate Universe counterparts of the merc with a mouth. Dogpool and Headpool, being a dog and a zombie respectively, are probably the biggest outliers. | |
