There are five of them (fingers on a hand) and they perform guerrilla attacks against the enemy (strike hard like a fist). Leadership of the cell rotates regularly (leaders and lead) and they have both faked their own deaths and have been spiritually reborn (die and survive).
Er. Maybe too similar to ChrisM's, but is it the Green Lanterns of Earth?
There are five, total: Alan Scott, Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Guy Gardner, and Kyle Rayner.
Hal is infamous for his giant green boxing gloves.
The latter four are all "led" by the Guardians of the Universe, while Alan Scott is, as a founding member of the Justice Society, a mentor to the group's current roster.
And while all of them started as Green Lanterns, they have also all replaced their superheroic powers and monickers at some point - Alan Scott was Sentinel; Hal Jordan was the Specter; John Stewart led the Dark Stars; Guy Gardner was Warrior; and Kyle Rayner was Ion. Thus, while they all "die" as GLs, they consistently "survive" as heroes.
There've been five "in-continuity" Robins: Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Stephanie Brown & Damian al-Ghul Wayne.
They are all excellent with their fists.
Dick and Tim have both lead The Teen Titans and Dick, The Outsiders and Titans.
Jason and Stephanie have both been killed and brought back to life and according to DC One Million, there will most definitely be a Robin in the future.
Ben 10? Just kidding.
