The opposite number to the Team Mom, more often than not the disciplinarian, lead-by-example-kind of character in contrast to the warm, nurturing tendencies of a Team Mom. The Team Dad tends to be the oldest member of The Team, but it's more about attitude than age, because if he isn't The Leader, he's certainly The Mentor. He tends to be strict and gruff, but he never hesitates to put his life on the line for his team members. Sometimes the facade might even crack and he'll show undisguised pride over his "kids", particularly if the team members are True Companions. Like the occasionally male Team Mom, Team Dads aren't Always Male, but female ones are very rare. If a team has a Team Mom and a Team Dad, expect them to either play a Good Cop/Bad Cop routine on the rest of the team or come in conflict over their "parenting" philosophies. Cue "Mom and Dad are fighting" jokes from the "kids" if Team Mom and Team Dad aren't a couple, quickly followed by "It's not like that, we swear." Bonus points if the response is in unison from them (but they're very likely to end up together, anyway). Compare Papa Wolf, whose children are his Protectorate; while the tropes can overlap, the Team Dad strives to make the "children" (who also tend to be older than the Papa Wolf's, and are less likely to be blood relatives) able to fight and defend themselves. A stern version of The Face since no one's going to argue when he says not to and will take the responsibility of speaking for the group. Compare also A Father to His Men.

Abraxas (Hrodvitnon): In this MonsterVerse fanfiction, Dr. Brooks comes off as a Team Dad to the Chen sisters and the Russells at Outpost 61a, being the eldest human there (with the possible exception of Steve Martin). He exposits, he assures, and when needed he takes a firm hand with the others at the outpost. | |

Orrig from Daughter of the Lilies is an orc who has to deal with a foul-mouthed elf and a loud-mouthed quarter-orc who get on each other's nerves all the time, and later a mage of unknown (at first) species with crippling anxiety and privacy issues. Despite the potential for Beleaguered Boss, he does a very good job of it (and is even sarcastically referred to as "Dad" by Lyra, the aforementioned elf). | |

X-Men: Charles Xavier, played by Patrick Stewart (who plays Jean-Luc Picard) in the live action version, possibly to invoke this trope. When it comes to later X-Men teams Cyclops (the sensible stoic Team Dad), Wolverine (the grumpily protective Team Dad) and Gambit (the wild fun Team Dad) alternate between this trope for the likes of Kitty Pryde, Jubilee, X-23 and others Depending on the Writer. The original Cable was this for X-Force being A Father to His Men with a protective streak as strong as Wolverine. He even manages to be more of a Team Dad than his own father Cyclops who thanks to Time Travel is younger than him. Also, Depending on the Writer, Magneto acts like this with the Brotherhood. During his many Heel–Face Turns, he becomes a father figure for the X-Men as well. Most notably, when he took over the X-Men after the death of Charles Xavier, he found himself struggling with his role as both leader and father figure towards the teenaged mutants. Apocalypse being one of the eldest mutants in existence tries to be the ultimate Team Dad for younger mutants. It works on his own realm of Okkara among his followers and Horsemen (when they aren’t betraying him), but not when it comes to other mutants like the X-Men who genuinely hate his guts for his previous villainy and are willingly to trust even Magneto over him. |

Thorin in The Hobbit may also qualify, at least to the younger dwarves. None of them are his children, but half of them are fairly closely related to him: four of them are his third cousins (and brothers or first cousins to each other), and FÃli and KÃli are his nephews. | |

Totally unsurprisingly in Spider-Man: No Way Home, Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man from the Rami Trilogy, being the eldest and most experienced Peter Parker, is the Team Dad for his two younger Alternate Universe counterparts, Andrew Garfield's TASM Spidey and Tom Holland's MCU Spidey, as well as MJ and Ned. A few of the most heartwarming moments in the film come from him giving support and guidance to his Spider brothers, such as telling TSAM Peter, who feels he is lame and insignificant compared to him and MCU Peter, that he is "amazing". Most powerfully, he personally steps in to prevent MCU Peter from killing Green Goblin in revenge for murdering Aunt May, making sure his younger counterpart doesn't go over the edge. | |

After a while of trying to be the Cool Old Guy of the group who took care of everybody, he was alarmed to discover that he was in fact the youngest person in the group: he was with a 96-year-old halfling and an elf pushing 260. | |

In TS!Underswap, Asgore is this to all the other monsters in the City of Old, who talk about him in glowing terms. Judging from the graffiti NPC's comments and the phone call you can make to him about the Greasers, he also seems to have a hand in keeping the younger monsters on the straight and narrow. Bugerpant lampshades this trope, saying he's like everyone's dad and telling Chara to be good to him. And of course, he also tries to take you in when you reach his home, and even has Chara's approval. | |

The Night Unfurls has the Good Hunter, to his four apprentices (three of them are referred as "kid"). He's their stern Mentor in Sour Armor who keeps them well-fed and strives to train them so they can fight and protect themselves, even fighting alongside them if needed. Definitely a lead-by-example kind of character. Downplayed in practice as the Hunter doesn't really see himself as some sort of dad, and his apprentices call him "Boss" ("Master", in Lily's case). He does feel a sense of pride and accomplishment towards their growth, though. | |

His incarnation on the Dream SMP has Wilbur as his only biological son, but he acts as a father figure in the lives of Tommy, Tubbo and Ranboo, and has a fatherly demeanor towards pretty much anyone he interacts with. As a result, "Dadza" is one of his most popular nicknames, both in and out of the SMP. However, his actual parenting skills may leave much to be desired, most prominently seen when he helps his son commit Suicide by Cop with little to no hesitation, just minutes after he joined the server. | |

In Jurassic World, Owen Grady is this to his four Velociraptors. He's the only person they listen to and won't attack on sight, which Owen attributes to maintaining a mutually respectful relationship with them.

Both Vimes and Carrot play this for the Discworld Ankh-Morpork City Watch. Vimes with his practically legendary anger (has killed at least two werewolves with his bare hands, and can lift a 300 lb ape without realising it), and Carrot with his royal charisma, or his strength (can stick a sword through a stone pillar, and punch out a troll). Sergeant Jackrum to his "little lads" in Monstrous Regiment. Also a rare female example. Sort of. It's complicated. |

Homestuck: Karkat Vantas. Yes, the bossy, misanthropic, foul-tempered leader Karkat. He was surprisingly effective in the role — he actually cares about the trolls in his charge, is determined to keep the team together and functional, and quite effectively helps them deal with personal issues. He's also their literal father, having created them all through ectobiology and weird time shit, even himself. Vriska suggests that this actually doomed their SGRUB session since trolls are so naturally combative that three out of their four different kinds of romance revolve around managing hate as the basis (or demise, in the case of moirallegiance) of interpersonal relationships; trolls, she says, aren't meant to work together. Of course, then there's the times when it implies that much of the conquest and hate that has defined the species is a cultural choice made by rulers generations ago, and that under leaders like Feferi or Karkat the species could actually thrive. It's fuzzy which direction Hussie's decided to go with this. John fills this role for the pre-Scratch human kids. All the trolls, and all the humans except John, regard John as the leader of the pre-Scratch human team. John insists he's their friend, not their leader, to which everyone's response has been "That's why you're the leader." John is nominally the youngest of the pre-Scratch kids by a few months, though the days each of them regard as their birthdays actually aren't due to time shenanigans, and they were all "born" at the same time to within a couple of minutes at most. |

Yondu from Guardians of the Galaxy is a very passionate Father to His Men, especially towards Peter Quill. He’s also quite the Papa Wolf as seen in sequel when Tazerface kills his loyal men and when he learns Peter is with his evil father Ego. Quill himself along with Drax (when they aren’t being silly) invoke this among the Guardians, particularly towards Baby/Teen Groot and Mantis. |

Durkon of The Order of the Stick is relatively laid-back (for a dwarf), and his Cleric class kind of makes him the moral centre by default. He's often seen giving fatherly advice and direction to side characters. It helps that his patron deity is Thor; a deity that gets up to the kind of shenanigans Thor does tends to be pretty lax on the fire and brimstone unless you really, really fuck up. | |

Villainous example in Avengers: Infinity War with Thanos. The Black Order is made up of his “adopted� children from different planets and with the exceptions of Gamora and Nebula, they all worship the ground Thanos walks on and truly believe his lunacy. It’s taken in even further as one of his children Ebony Maw implies that Thanos thinks he’s the Team Dad for the whole universe which is given some credence later when Thanos calls Scarlet Witch (a complete stranger) “my child� and brushes her head affectionately when comforting her over killing Vision. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Chris Hemsworth (Thor) describes Tony Stark as "the godfather of The Avengers" because of how closely he works with S.H.I.E.L.D. to get the team together, as seen in The Incredible Hulk. This would explain why Stark always clashes with The Leader Captain America over how to "raise the kids," so to speak. Lampshaded in Captain America: Civil War as Tony (along with Team Mom Black Widow) behaves less like a concerned teammate, but more like a scolding parent whose kids are trouble with the law. Nick Fury seems to invoke this to S.H.I.E.L.D and by extension the Avengers. Black Widow and Maria Hill in particular look up to him and greatly care for his safety. Word of God also reveals this is the reason why Fury was made to be absent in Civil War since his presence would’ve given a bit of control to the hectic scenario. Yondu from Guardians of the Galaxy is a very passionate Father to His Men, especially towards Peter Quill. He’s also quite the Papa Wolf as seen in sequel when Tazerface kills his loyal men and when he learns Peter is with his evil father Ego. Quill himself along with Drax (when they aren’t being silly) invoke this among the Guardians, particularly towards Baby/Teen Groot and Mantis. Villainous example in Avengers: Infinity War with Thanos. The Black Order is made up of his “adopted� children from different planets and with the exceptions of Gamora and Nebula, they all worship the ground Thanos walks on and truly believe his lunacy. It’s taken in even further as one of his children Ebony Maw implies that Thanos thinks he’s the Team Dad for the whole universe which is given some credence later when Thanos calls Scarlet Witch (a complete stranger) “my child� and brushes her head affectionately when comforting her over killing Vision. Totally unsurprisingly in Spider-Man: No Way Home, Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man from the Rami Trilogy, being the eldest and most experienced Peter Parker, is the Team Dad for his two younger Alternate Universe counterparts, Andrew Garfield's TASM Spidey and Tom Holland's MCU Spidey, as well as MJ and Ned. A few of the most heartwarming moments in the film come from him giving support and guidance to his Spider brothers, such as telling TSAM Peter, who feels he is lame and insignificant compared to him and MCU Peter, that he is "amazing". Most powerfully, he personally steps in to prevent MCU Peter from killing Green Goblin in revenge for murdering Aunt May, making sure his younger counterpart doesn't go over the edge. |

The Internet has seen fit to turn Overwatch's Soldier:76 into one (and Mercy as Team Mom and Reinhardt and Ana as team Grandparents), but emphasizing the "Dad" part (making sure the kids eat their vegetables, wearing socks with sandals, and of course dad jokes). It's amazing how much emotion he can communicate with just his eyebrows. Some fan works go further and send 76 down the Bumbling Dad route, with dad jokes and socks-with-sandals fashion sense galore. | |

X-Men Film Series: Professor Charles Xavier. Best shown in X-Men: The Last Stand during his funeral, where a massive amount of his students cried during it. His tombstone reads, "Father, Teacher, Friend", and naturally "Father" is listed first because he was viewed by the youngsters (especially those who are orphans or have been disowned by their families) as primarily a paternal figure. X-Men: First Class: Erik Lehnsherr has a "tough love" approach with the young mutants (Sean Cassidy learns this the hard way). Charles Xavier might qualify as well, but he tends to act more like the nurturing Team Mom. Insert witty commentary here. X-Men: Apocalypse: James McAvoy stresses in the June 2016 issue of F*** magazine that Professor X, for all of his kindness and altruism, has a profound psychological need to be the "king of the castle," so to speak. Xavier genuinely loves his friends and his students and he cares deeply about them, but it's also very important to him to hold a certain amount of authority over them. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Prince Zuko takes this role after his Heel–Face Turn — kids, you can have your beach party after you save the world! The team unanimously follow him when The Hero disappears. They seem to be emphasizing this trait in the new◊ comics◊. Even before that, there's his "You're a talented kid" speech in "The Firebending Masters". The camera angles, which exaggerate the height difference between him and Aang, clearly were meant as a reference to this trope. Before he came along, Sokka tried to serve as the group's dad, which Katara even lets him know he's not good at it. |

In Steven Universe, Garnet is a (sort of) female example of this trope. She is the de facto leader of the Crystal Gems, be the serious one who reins in the team and they all look up to her. However, she's mainly this with Steven (while Pearl is the Team Mom and Amethyst is the Cool Big Sis to him.) Greg somewhat functions this as Steven's dad, though the others have awkward friendships with him, at least in the beginning. They begin respecting him more over time, including Pearl. | |

Red vs. Blue: Agent North Dakota somewhat played this role for the Freelancers, in addition to a cool big-brother figure. Which makes it all the more tragic when Agent South Dakota - his own twin sister - gets him killed out of jealousy and to save herself from The Meta. Sarge becomes a version of this to the Reds and Blues post season 8. Played with in regards to Washington. His attempts to be this to Connie are unsuccessful but his efforts work much better with the Reds and Blues from season 10 onwards, balancing the team's craziness with Carolina's Ax-Crazy tendencies, trying to keep them alive by managing their limited supplies and training Tucker and Caboose to be more effective soldiers. The late Captain Flowers of Blue Team was shown to be this before the show began, either through flashbacks or when resurrected by an alien later in the Blood Gulch Chronicles. It's shown that the blues cared for him too, as despite him being forgotten almost immediately after Tucker claimed his armor when he was found dead, Church attempted to prevent his apparent death by heart attack when he's blown backwards through time midway through season three. This ironically ended up being what killed him as he was allergic to aspirin. Despite being well liked by Tucker and Church, he tended to be a bit creepy at times though this could possibly be explained by the revelation in season ten that he was really Freelancer Agent Florida, assigned to Blood Gulch to protect the Alpha AI, who was now inhabiting a robot body believing himself to be a soldier named Leonard Church. |

There is also a semi-weird moment where Jack acts more ‘Team Dad’ than he ever did in canon by observing that Daniel is the only one of Sam’s potential partners who would have passed Jack’s ‘boyfriend test’ if Sam had been his daughter, which neither Sam or Daniel are sure how to react to considering Jack and Sam’s former feelings for each other. | |

hololive group has some rare female examples: Mori Calliope for the English first generation holomyth group. Her deep voice and stern yet supportive personality as the token responsible member of the group has made large sections of her fanbase start referring to her as "dad" or "Daddiope", much to her annoyance. The fact that her relationship with Team Mom Takanashi Kiara is one of, if not the most popular ship in the agency does not help. Shishiro Botan for the Japanese branch's fifth generation. Gender aside, her calm levelheadedness and more stereotypically boyish hobbies have lead to her to be viewed as gen 5's cool dad figure to pair with Lamy's Team Mom, a title both Coco and Kanata agreed was fitting. It was most noticeable when the group gave their thoughts on Aloe's graduation from hololive: while Lamy and Nene struggled to speak through tears and Polka was too dispirited to talk much, Botan took the reins and emceed the video with a composure that still made her sadness clear. |

Professor Charles Xavier. Best shown in X-Men: The Last Stand during his funeral, where a massive amount of his students cried during it. His tombstone reads, "Father, Teacher, Friend", and naturally "Father" is listed first because he was viewed by the youngsters (especially those who are orphans or have been disowned by their families) as primarily a paternal figure. | |

Chris Hemsworth (Thor) describes Tony Stark as "the godfather of The Avengers" because of how closely he works with S.H.I.E.L.D. to get the team together, as seen in The Incredible Hulk. This would explain why Stark always clashes with The Leader Captain America over how to "raise the kids," so to speak. Lampshaded in Captain America: Civil War as Tony (along with Team Mom Black Widow) behaves less like a concerned teammate, but more like a scolding parent whose kids are trouble with the law. | |

Young Justice (2010): Aqualad takes on this role early in the series. Since he's the most mature of the group, he often ends up playing mediator between his teammates' conflicting egos. He's also a Big Brother Mentor to both Robin and Superboy. Batman. Besides being an actual foster father to the Robins, he attempts to counsel Aqualad regarding his homesickness (correctly guessing it's more about a person than the place), pays for Artemis to attend the same prestigious private school as Robin, and keeps a close watch on kid Leaguer Captain Marvel, revealing that he knew all along and, in the tie-in comics, gift-wrapping him an opportunity to come clean. Batman's also responsible for Superboy. In one of the episodes Superman mentions that Batman has been responsible for helping Superboy adjust to his powers/get used to being on the Team. He also makes an effort to assure Connor he's doing good work at least once, regardless of what Superman's silence looks like. And let's not forget Batman also speaks to Superman to try and make him stop ignoring his clone. When Batman is giving Superman parenting advice you know it's serious. |

Long-time Teen Titans foe Deathstroke is an evil version of this for the Titans teams he has put together. During the Titans East storyline, he even acted more fatherly towards Inertia than he did to his own children as part of his plan to get the Titans to accept them. He gave the little psycho the serum he needed for Super-Speed while warning him not to abuse it, advised him to dump his even more psychotic girlfriend, and hooked him up with the Rogues in Central City once everything went south for Titans East. | |

The Avengers once had a discussion about Captain America and Iron Man over who was Team Mom and who was Team Dad. They're still doing this; as recently as Issue 7 of the 2011 volume of The Avengers, there's a scene where Spider-Man says "This is uncomfortable." Another character assumes he's talking about half of Avenger-dom being on a single Quinjet, and he says "No, I was talking about Mommy and Daddy fighting," in reference to the fact that Cap is pissed at Tony for his secrecy about the Infinity Gems. |

Most BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle fan works have Ragna as this to Yu, Hyde and Ruby due to his status as the oldest and most experienced of them (he's in his 20's while they're all teenagers), it helps that his interactions with them in the game proper also show some shades of this mixed with Cool Big Bro. Of course, with Ragna being a Jerk with a Heart of Gold with a Hair-Trigger Temper, he's portrayed as a notably more grumpy and moody version of this trope. | |

In The Legend of Korra, both Tenzin and Mako have tried their hands at this, with different degrees of success. Bonus points for Tenzin since not only he is Aang's son, but he himself is the father of three Airbending kids. And later his fourth child is born, though we don't know if Rohan is an Airbender or not. Ironically, while Tenzin and Mako tries to be the Team Dad (in the end, they're both really more of a male Team Mom to the team), it's really Lin Beifong who serves as the most effective Team Dad, as a female example. |

Remus Lupin is like this in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. This is lampshaded repeatedly, since Harry never had a true father figure before. It becomes quite important later, when the Generation Xerox-trope is subverted. Dumbledore is also implied to be this for the Order of the Phoenix, given that it's a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits whose one connection is, basically, him. |

He hires a wizard thinking it'll do the party good, only to find Torvald is a necromancer, leading to him having to play diplomat to prevent Torvald's execution for not paying taxes... that amount to less than Trevor spends on booze.

Captain Atom was this for the Justice League Europe. This was helped by the fact that he was also the Only Sane Man and was romantically involved, at least for a while, with the Team Mom, Catherine Cobert. But he was also the one responsible for keeping the team's ridiculous antics under control, counseling them when they were depressed or otherwise in need of advice or just a reassuring ear, and of leading them into combat. | |
