The overall theme for each superteam may change, but the general backstory behind each remains the same.

Weakened by several losses and a sickly captain, the 13th squad in Soul Society is unable to send members of its own squad to shore up the ranks of the Guardians. However, Ukitake has come up with a daring (reckless?) plan... In response to the increased power of villainy in the Rogue Isles, the wise Captain advocated sending recent Shinigami graduates that have shown great promise to the real world to train... against foes powerful enough to rival Hollows. Where better in the real world to train than the Guardians outpost in Paragon City?
