A common western action cartoon format that was very popular in the 1980s and 1990s (after the success of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles spawned a crop of imitators) and still continues to this day. The format is more or less this: a team of heroic monsters (aliens, mutants, or magical beings) are somehow created, awakened, or transported to the modern world. Usually a modern American city. They are honorable creatures who set out to fight crime, usually under the training of an Old Master, but the average person fears them for their appearance, so they must hide from muggles. However, they befriend one or two open-minded humans, usually either children or career women. These women or children end up being the team's friends and guides to modern Earth, and become their secret-keepers, and/or their Kid with the Leash. Together, they all fight supervillains and evil creatures while keeping their identities a secret to maintain normalcy. Since these shows are usually aimed at young boys, expect The Smurfette Principle to be in full swing. The heroes are usually the last of their kind — a token girl only shows up on rare occasions. Consequently, Interspecies Romance will usually be explored, particularly by fans and especially with the aforementioned career women. The secret-keepers will often hide them in the beginning, but since the monstrous team usually has at least three members, they typically end up getting their own headquarters. It's a good thing that Abandoned Warehouse/office building/ornate palace was around! Alternatively, they already have an established home in a place where humans generally don't go, such as the Wild Wilderness or Absurdly-Spacious Sewer. These series tend to be Merchandise-Driven. Not to be confused with Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot, though the Rule of Cool often plays a role. |

Butt-Ugly Martians was a 2000s show, unlike most of these, involving Martian commandos sent to conquer Earth... only to discover Earth has a lot more nice stuff than Mars, so they abandon their mission to camp out in an abandoned movie lot with their human Secret Keepers and stage fake battles to explain their delay in conquering the planet. | |

The live-action show Dark Angel was similar in premise, with the exception that most of the Chimera could at least pass for human (with the notable exception of Joshua in season 2). Nevertheless, Logan acted as a Secret-Keeper for Max and the rest. | |

Super Duper Sumos is a twist on this format with human sumo wrestlers. The Sumos aren't aliens or monsters, but they have supernatural sumo powers and were raised apart from contemporary society. They must adjust to life in Generic City; their open-minded "normal human" guide to modern life is Prima, their young cousin. The sumos don't have to hide like most examples, but people find them to be unusual. The villains are Bad Inc., a corporation which wants to take over the world and creates an unusual Kaiju each episode. | |

The Adventures of T-Rex is a rather odd take on it. Much like the Samurai Pizza Cats, T-Rex is an anthro superhero team who live in a vaguely Noir-ish flavored world of humanoid dinosaurs and reptiles. The T-Rex are a literal Five-Man Band, in that they're five brothers who sing and play music in a night-club vaudeville act, recruited by a benevolent Mad Scientist and outfitted with Powered Armor, Harmless Freezing ray-blasters, a "Rexmobile" transport and a secret base to battle the crime problem in Rep City. | |

Aqua Teen Hunger Force spoofs this. The show centers around a group of anthropomorphic beings and their sole human accomplice. However, unlike its predecessors, the characters in question are fast food items instead of Funny Animals, they live in a suburban slum somewhere in South Jersey instead of in a city, they almost never fight crime or solve mysteries, they're almost entirely dysfunctional, and their sole human accomplice is a sleazebag who hates them. | |

Kung Fu Dino Posse, a 40-episode cartoon series that aired on Starz in 2009, is an homage to several Secret Mutant Hero Teams before it, including Extreme Dinosaurs and TMNT. In modern times, a quirky science geek accidentally thaws out four anthropomorphic dinosaurs, whereupon they inflict inexplicable Kung Fu upon evil raptor villains and their army of generic mutants. The series is well aware of its own cliches and often leverages them for comic effect. | |

Challenge Of The Go Bots: The initial Five-Episode Pilot was like this. Since the Gobots' cover has been completely blown by the end of that Story Arc (it's not as if Leader-1 didn't try to observe the Obstructive Code of Conduct at first), subsequent episodes show the Guardians interacting with Earth's people and governments completely out in the open. | |

Stone Protectors: A 1993 series that attempted to market the troll doll craze to grade school boys. The heroes are an awful Fake Band from New York City who are transformed into troll-like super heroes by magical crystals, then have to protect the crystals from the Saurians, reptilian bad guys who would use their powers for evil. The problem of hiding the conflict from the public is averted because the heroes are quickly transported to the Magical Land where the crystals came from. | |

Mighty Ducks: The Animated Series, which may as well been called "Hockey-Playing Twentysomething Extraterrestrial Mallards". About a group of anthropomorphic ducks from a world surrounded by puck-shaped asteroids where hockey is Serious Business (...you mean they're Canadian? *rimshot*) fighting space dragons and villains-of-the-week by posing as a regular hockey team in modern-day Anaheim, though to be fair, they 'pose' as a hockey team by actually playing hockey in a league. They're pretty much outed as aliens in the first few episodes. | |

Gargoyles: An ancient clan of "garagates" (who lived alongside humans) awaken in the '90s, after a thousand years frozen in stone, with policewoman Elisa Maza as their human ally. Gargoyles was one of the few shows to acknowledge that a situation like this simply can't last forever, and slowly had the Gargoyles transition from complete secret, to urban myth, to publicly known... and feared. Greg Weisman also said they made the main characters a trio rather than a quartet precisely so they could stand apart from this trope's usual fare. | |

Bucky O'Hare and the Toad Wars! was this In Space, with the strange twist that the anthropomorphic animals are the norm, and it's the human character that has to be kept hidden from that reality's "muggles". | |

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is the Trope Codifier, of course, with April O'Neil, Casey Jones, and Irma (and later on, Carter) as the human allies. Interestingly, the show only kept the idea of the Turtles trying to hide their existence from the world for a short time, with them wearing Conspicuous Trenchcoats and human masks in public but soon switching over to them being publicly known heroes. April's career as a news reporter probably helped in that regard. | |

One Robot Chicken sketch features a team of motorcycle-riding combat mice called the Cheese League, who go by the names of Colby, Muenster, Cheddar, Brie, and Baby Swiss. After an action-packed introductory sequence of the Cheese League battling a team of evil rats, the Cheese League are brutally murdered by a cat. | |

Transformers: Animated is more in line with this trope, featuring Sari as the kid, a smaller Five 'Bot Band, and an abandoned Detroit car factory as their HQ. The Autobots still don't hide from anyone, though; in fact, they rather visibly help repair the damage their fights cause, which helps keep them in the city's good graces. | |

Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa is TMNT in The Wild West with cowboys who were actual cows, though like the SWAT Kats they lived in a world with others like them (the Mesa in question was a Hidden Elf Village created when an irradiated comet struck the late 19th century Western plains, raising it above the clouds and anthropomorphizing all the cows and some other animals) and they were lawmen. Significant in that the C.O.W.-Boys were created by Ryan Brown, a writer and artist for TMNT who created many of the designs of the action figures and some beloved characters like Leatherhead, and the Mighty Mutanimals as a team. The Turtles also crossed over with the C.O.W.-Boys years after the show went off the air. | |

Sonic X: Utilized this format with Sonic and his Furry pals as the "monsters" (albeit cute ones) and the Thorndyke family as their human allies. This was ostensibly to give the audience a human identification character — Chris. They quickly dropped The Masquerade though, and Sonic became an instant celebrity. | |

This Bites!: Not only are the Teenage Dugong Warrior Squad half-turtle already (hybrids between sea turtles and manatees, to be precise), their names are Mikey, Donny, Raphey, and Leo, who respectively wield nunchucks, a bo staff, sai, and katana, and have respective headband colors of orange, purple, pink, and blue. Oh, wait, did I say pink? Yeah, Raphey is actually a girl. | |

The Cheetahmen from Action 52. They were the "featured" game in the multicart, as series creator and Active Enterprises founder Vince Perri intended to launch a multimedia franchise in the same vein as TMNT. This fell through when it became apparent that the press and the gaming public did not take kindly to a rather subpar game. | |

Transformers: The many animated adaptations zigzag the use of this kind of archetype: Although the Autobots never really hid from anyone in the Sunbow series. They were acknowledged by the world's leaders as early as the end of the three-part pilot. Transformers: Animated is more in line with this trope, featuring Sari as the kid, a smaller Five 'Bot Band, and an abandoned Detroit car factory as their HQ. The Autobots still don't hide from anyone, though; in fact, they rather visibly help repair the damage their fights cause, which helps keep them in the city's good graces. Played straight with Transformers: Prime. The Autobots have a secret base, three kid sidekicks and a government liaison, and both sides try to avoid too much human attention. |
