What do you call a team of magnificent people? [closed]

Can you suggest/provide a word for a team of magnificent (intelligent or the likes) people?

I'm thinking of words that are not cliche like geniuses..

Solution 1:

If by magnificent you mean hardcore, kick-ass group of folks, A-Team is the term you might be looking for. There is a movie titled that way. :)

Solution 2:

Generic: Dream Team

Intelligent: Brain Trust, or Think Tank

Solution 3:

An efficient, quality team of professionals, especially specialists in their field, is often called a crack team.

crack adj. (attributive): Very good, especially at a specified activity or in a specified role. OED

Solution 4:

One possibility is elite; unfortunately, it doesn't imply a team so much as a class.

If "A-team", "crack team", "dream team", etc are valid, then "elite team" is also valid.

Solution 5:

Specifically in music, or by analogy to it, you might consider supergroup. From Wikipedia,

A supergroup is a music group whose members are already successful as solo artists or as part of other groups or well known in other musical professions. Usually used in the context of rock and pop music, the term has been applied to other musical genres such as The Three Tenors in opera.
