The Champions are a prominent superhero team in the Hero Universe, the official setting of the Champions role-playing game. They serve as an example of a balanced team dynamic, a team of NPC allies, or a source of pregenerated characters to allow players to bypass the game's lengthy character creation process.

The Champions team used in the first three incarnations of the Champions role playing game were the comic book hero team later known as the League of Champions. Because of the separation of the Champions comic book and gaming franchises, the original Champions would be removed from later editions of the game.

The first version of the Champions appeared in the core rulebook for the fourth edition of the game. They were made up of:

While details of the location of their base of operations are left vague in their information to allow the GM to locate the team wherever they wish, various sourcebooks give the Champions' home turf as New York City.

Taking place after the fourth edition setting, the New Millennium timeline was created after an apocalyptic battle killed most of the heroes (and many of the villains) of Earth. A new team of Champions was formed to take the place of the old:

Expansion books added Marksman/Donald Henderson, a former Champion who retired due to injuries, founded the Arcadian Academy for rising heroes in his retirement, and eventually joined the reformed Champions; Crusader/Sir Michael of Livingstone, a time-travelling knight who mixes modern gadgets with archaic martial training and his enchanted sword Hasufring; and Speedster/Gerald Spence, a hero who gained super-speed powers from a chemical accident.

With the Hero Universe heavily revamped for the fifth edition of the game, the Champions were revamped as well. Defender was the only previous member to be kept. The new members of the Champions are:

The latest version of the Champions is headquartered in Millennium City.

After several years with the team Nighthawk quit over a difference of values with Defender and was replaced by Kinetik, who possessed super-speed powers, and Nightwind, a martial artist, which current status is unknown.

Seeker is tacilty portrayed as a member of the new Champions in the in-game comic book published about them, as Nighthawk refused to market his image.

Diverging after the fifth edition timeline, the Champions Online MMORPG features six Champions as NPC contacts.
