...Most of the Twilight characters had supportive fans with poster shout-outs: there was Team Edward, Team Jacob, Team Bella, Team Wolf Pack, Team Volturi and one sign that called for Team Anything I Can Get. Even the lesser known Cullen vampire Jasper had team posters and a significant following. "I guess it's a blessing," actor Jackson Rathbone said slyly when asked about his character's fan club.
