League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, 2010:

[reddie]

This little announcement (dated April 1st) is pretty awesome, and it's started me thinking...

http://www.comicsalliance.com/2010/...nces-league-of-extraordinary-gentlemen-1988/4

Decades past are all well and good, but who would be the Gentlemen of today?

I can think of one right off the bat:

Which means the modern League starts out with a bit of a letdown.

Then again, I'd love to see what Alan Moore would do with him...

 

[catboy637]

No. No. Nooooooo.

If we can include anyone from works of fiction, then here's my list.

Jack, from Bioshock.

Subject Delta, from Bioshock 2.

Nathan Drake, form Uncharted series.

Any of the Fallout protagonists.

Irving Morrel, from Southern Victory.

Rico Rodriguez from Just Cause 2.

Alec Mason from Red Faction.

 

[Alternatehistorybuff5341]

Here is who I would get for a League...



Harry Potter: Harry Potter Saga
Hellboy: Hellboy Series
Jack Bauer: 24
Robert Langdon: DaVinci Code, Angels and Demons, The Lost Symbol
Batman: Batman Returns, The Dark Knight
James Bond: 007 Saga
Henry "Mutt" Jones III: Indiana Jones: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Optiumus Prime: Transformers Movies

 

[Count Dearborn]

Please, anybody but Harry Potter.

Here are some alternatives:

Harry C. B. Dresden: PI and Wizard based in Chicago.
Eddie Drood: Guardian of the World
John Taylor: PI based in London, son of Lilith
Marla Mason: Chief Sorceress of the City of Felport
Matthew Swift: Sorceror based in London
Sandman Slim: Sorceror based in LA, Nephilim
John Constantine
Traci Thirteen
Stephen Strange

 

[theReturner]

My Dream List

Dr. Gregory House-House (TV Series)
James Bond (The Sixth Bond)-OO7 (Film Series)
The Ninth Doctor-Doctor Who (TV Series)
Luna Lovegood-Harry Potter (Book Series)
Holly Short-Artemis Fowl (Book Series)
Professor John I.Q. Nerdelbaum Frink II-The Simpsons (TV Series)
The Question-The Question (Comic Series)

Truth be told I would rather have Rorschach than the Question, but Rorschach has the problem of being dead. Prof. Frink is a cartoon character of course, but we would just have to figure out what he would look like in real life.

I may post a picture gallery later.

 

[Whanztastic]

Oh god that 1988 LoEG would be fantastic.

I think Irving Morrel would be dead or retired by 2010. The characters have to be living at this time in the fiction for them to be used, in my opinion.

Here is my list and I tried to keep it to well known characters. I fear it may be a bit weighted towards comic books, since that is where all the creative unique characters seem to be these days. Also I tried to find sort of equivalents.


James Bond (ala Campion Bond)
Capt. Price of Modern Warfare 2 (ala Alan Quatermain)
Tony Stark (ala Captain Nemo)
Susan Storm (ala Griffin)
Blade (ala Mina Murray)
Bruce Banner/The Hulk of everything (ala Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde)

[Iserlohn]

Well, my personal picks for a 2010 League would be the following ones:

- Dr. Gregory House (from House): the broken man with incredible knowledge of the human psyche and body.

- Bruce Wayne aka Batman (from the Batman franchise): the tragic viligante, using gadgets and and his intelligence to fight crime.

- Julius Belmont, at that time only known as J (from the Castlevania franchise): a man suffering from amnesia, who mysteriously posseses magical powers and knowledge about the occult.

- Colonel Dr. Samantha Carter (from the Stargate franchise): a female military genius, who is tougher than she looks and smarter than she seems.

- Chev Chelios (from the Crank movie series): a British-American hitman who is in need for adrenaline in order to survive, not caring about consequences. Dies in action and gets replaced with...

- George Weasley (from the Harry Potter franchise): A prankster wizard and magical sportsman, who during some moments still grieves about the loss of his twin brother.

(- Alfred Pennyworthy (from the Batman franchise): the loyal servant of Bruce Wayne, still helping his employer and supporting him whenever he is able to do so.)


With these members it should be clear that the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is now an international team, now working for the U.N. instead of the British crown.


PS: I haven't bothered reading through Black Dossier, so I know about BB and nothing more, so this team reflects the image I have of the League with wrecked heroes and only a few sane men and women.
PS²: Also another note: I don't like Chelios, but he would fit in quite well.

 

[Trovador]

My list:

Lara Croft (Tomb Raider): action, history, technology and some occultism. It's like Indiana Jones, but sexier, and every LoEG must have a girl.
Dr. Gordon Freeman (Half Life):this guy has a PhD in Physics from MIT, fought with hordes of aliens, without backup... with a Crowbar. He was voted the "All Time Greatest Video Game Hero" in 2008.
James Bond (007) or Ethan Hunt (Mission: Impossible): the "super-agent" is an iconic image, so one of them could not be left out.
Bruce Wayne (Batman Begins) or Antony Stark (Iron Man): power through technology, heroism and fancy wardrobes. Both are rather old characters, but their newer versions blend very well with the 2000s.
Hellboy: again, occultism, science and action usually results in LoEG. Plus, the team needs a Bruteforce guy.

And one of those, as we don't want a league with 300 members:
Robert Langdon (Da Vinci Code etc): some occultism, some science and much more action than you would expect from a professor a Symbology Professor - he deserves a place as much as Sherlock Holmes deserved in the classic League, even if he never entered it.

Jack Bauer (24): he overlaps with the super-agents, but is more 2010'ish.

Jill Valentine(Resident Evil): I don't remember any league with more than one woman, but...

Dr. Gregory House: he doesn't really fit with the whole idea, but... gah, he deserves it.

Others that could belong to the League, but would sound too off/controversial, are:

-Spiderman: we don't need another superhero
-Harry Potter and Potterverse in general: difficult to blend with the rest of the group, and would sound rather silly.
- Agent K or J, from MiB: they're nothing without MiB, and the League is always formed by extraordinary people, not organizations.
-Indiana Jones: wrong decade, but Indiana Jones deserves his own League - he and James Bond in the same organization... that would be epic. His son, though, wouldn't be that bad.
-Characters from 1984 or V: wrong decade, again.
-Neo or other from Matrixverse: too hard to fit in.

 

[Dave Howery]

how about Dirk Pitt for the 80s/90s group?

 

[Colonelgoth]

And one of those, as we don't want a league with 300 members:
Robert Langdon (Da Vinci Code etc): some occultism, some science and much more action than you would expect from a professor a Symbology Professor - he deserves a place as much as Sherlock Holmes deserved in the classic League, even if he never entered it.

Jill Valentine(Resident Evil): I don't remember any league with more than one woman, but...

-Neo or other from Matrixverse: too hard to fit in.

I think Langdon would overlap too much with Lara Croft.

And maybe having two characters from Video Games would be too obscure. As much as they're awesome a LOT of people don't know who Gordon Freeman is let alone Jill Valentine.

I'd say Jason Bourne actually rather than Bond and put Bond in one of the 80's/Cold War ones since that suits him more.

And Neo/The Matrixverse is nearer 2999 rather than 1999.

 

[Umbric Man]

Toss in the TMNT or Ghostbusters in any 1980s league.

Hmmm (and yes, I know that 1988 American league).
