books Your own League of Extraordinary Gentleman

[Steel Accord 6,660]

Here's a fun little thought experiment. Create your own League of Extraordinary Gentleman! Take some of your favorite fictional characters and a make them into a badass task force!

 

Rules:

 

• Must contain at least 5 to 7 members for the League itself.

 

• Must also have a villain. The League is always assembled to counter a specific threat.

 

• All characters must originate from the same time period. That is, the setting, has to be of a similar time period. The character can be created from whenever.

 

• If a character is immortal, such as Connor Macleod, it could be inferred that they show up before or after the events of their story. The events must happen though.

 

• The characters must all have a common "feel" this may seem arbitrary, but the original League were all classic literature characters originating from roughly the same time period. The idea is taking characters that, even if they might not otherwise be working together, could at least be arguably co-exisiting in the first place. For instance, Aragorn might be on the same League as the Pevensie Children, but that League would not also include Master Chief. (Perhaps all share a medium like musical theater, or maybe they come from a very distinct era of film such as the 80's.)

 

• More of a recommendation than a hard rule,but try to think outside of the box in terms of your line up. Most of the original League's members were actually the villains of their stories!

 

• MLP characters are welcome but not any of them Mane Six. They would overshadow the rest. The original League didn't have Sherlock Holmes for a similar reason.

 

Apart from that, go nuts!

^ Yes, I...  Have read a lot of Lovecraft lol.

 

The villain is NOT Great Cthulhu because that wouldn't be fair.  Or heck, he may not even be "awake" long enough to be the villain.  The villain is, instead, Pip from Charles Dickens' "Great Expectations" who has inexplicably manipulated the entire Mi-Go race into doing his bidding / attacking Arkham en masse.  However, Pip gives these lengthy, convoluted speeches about the origins of his name and is subsequently imprisoned and brutally experimented upon by his disloyal legions of fungi from Yuggoth.  The End.
