Usually it's one element incoporated into the character and then everything else is different. Like my character based off Bulbasaur/Venusaur. He absorbs sunlight to make him faster and has a green colour scheme, but that's it. He's not even a tank. That's exactly what I meant when I said I'd base the team's theme around anime characters - loose adaptations of the characters instead of cliched carbon copies. Is that fine? Just taking a few traits from a character I like, and then mixing in a bunch of stuff I've come up with on my own? Or, is that considered "ripping off" modern characters? Because I consider my OCs to be... my Original Characters.
