How come there are not many knock-off Avvengers teams in other media?

[lefthanded]

What is interesting even beyond how Marvel and other media have lasting representations of the Justice League - DC themselves copy the Justice League by repeatedly featuring the Crime Syndicate of America

[AdamFTF]

DC actually have two Avengers type teams, The Champions of Angor who debuted in 1971, and The Maximums who debuted in 2005.

The difference between those teams and The Squadron Supreme is, no one at DC has ever put much effort into fleshing them out and making them more than parodies.
Giffen and DeMatteis brought The Champions back Post Crisis, but they quickly faded away again. The Maximums haven’t even gotten that little bit of love.

The Squadron meanwhile, have steadily featured in Marvel storylines since their own 1971 debut.
Mark Gruenwald used them to great effect in a classic 12 issue limited series in the eighties, they were reimagined by J. Michael Straczynski in 2003; versions of Hyperion were used in The Exiles, and a version even joined The Avengers.

The thing with the Champions of Angor aka the Justifiers is that the folks at DC seem to be more interested in the villains of that world aka Lord Havoc and the Extremists.

Agreed;
DC def. embraced The Extremists.

What's the difference between a parody team of Avengers and one of the Justice League?

[Ichijinijisanji]

the avengers don't have as iconic or stable of a line up
plus it feels like marvel comics in general rarely inspires knockoffs

What's the difference between a parody team of Avengers and one of the Justice League?

I'd assume the specific characters. For instance, a parody of Flash would be similar to one of Quicksilver, but one of Superman wouldn't similar to one of Ant-Man or Black Panther

Which individual characters are being spoofed. Now, an old-school parody of the Avengers would probably have expys of at least Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Wasp, Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch and Vision. Nowadays, after the movies, it would probably be expys of Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye and Black Widow.

The thing with the Squadron Supreme is that each member is straight-up based on a member of the Justice League.
Hyperion=Superman
Nighthawk=Batman
Power Princess=Wonder Woman
Whizzer=Flash
Doctor Spectrum=Green Lantern
Amphibian=Aquaman
etc.

I wonder if one could create a super team parody of both teams

Rick and Morty did that with Vindicators.

Oh, I haven't seen that. What was it like?

Well you have a team called Vindicators with a V logo that's essentially the Avengers logo flipped upside down. The leader is a roguish alcoholic who flies around. You have a character called 1 million Ants (a sentient ant colony that looks like a mound of earth, aka Ant-Man + Swamp Thing). You have a woman who's a star-like power (Captain Marvel-esque), you have a take on Green Lantern called Alan Rails. Then you have Crocubot (half robot half crocodile).

If you are a superfan of superhero teams it's probably not worth watching though, it's a bit like Marshal Law.

Ok, thanks. My idea was a team of heroes who parody similar heroes on both teams, kinda like Amalgam hybridized with Squadron Supreme, if that makes sense

[Gaastra]

Don't forget seseme street version of the avengers with cookie monster as hulk!

Dexter had comics?

[CosmiComic]

Dexter thr show was funny, especially with Mandark.
