Re: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Mister Pickles has suggested throwing a Ultron/Cyberman/20th Century Borg hybrid-drone into the mix . Would be fricking hilarious if Johnny Five defeated it in a logic battle !! :-D
Even funnier : Johnny Five upgraded with Stark & Gallifreyan Tech , in a logical battle with Sheldon Cooper !!!! Doctor Cooper gets right up to Number Fives face . " ... Oh yeah ? Your intelligence matrix MAY be able to function at eight HUNDRED Teraquads per second , BUT can you do this !! " * puts his hands together and manages a very poor finger wiggle *

So, a team of borderline monsters plus some strong-willed and very tough and disciplined monster-wranglers. I'd stay away from mainstream comic characters, or it just looks like Suicide Squad. Go with other forms of fiction. Sam, Dean and Castiel are over the top; put those three on the problem and it just gets handled. For the "stabilizers," I might go with Jack Reacher or Bob Lee Swagger. For the expendables, maybe add Anita Blake, Faith Lehane and/or Audley Parker to the list? I'd keep Buffy out of it. She probably would decline to play, and (as of the end of the series) couldn't be forced without threatening Dawn. That would go quite badly. On the other hand, if somebody dangles a pardon in front of Faith..?

So... I would pick a particular era and then find characters from that era (or plausibly from that era, even if they're not from fiction of that era) who fit tshiggins' criteria. For eras, I'm drawn to the Cold War (specifically the post-Vietnam era), the Interwar period, and possibly the Long '90s - that period between the fall of the Berlin Wall and the 9/11 attacks. A few characters that jump out at me: Nick Knight, from Forever Knight, as a monster/handler sort Mack Bolan or Frank Castle (I mean, they're basically the same character) in dark gray Remo Williams as a guest star |

Re: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
StarFox5 came up with a fantastic suggestion : Nuclear Physicist Doctor Rjinswand . The RoundWorld alter ego of a certain dimension hopping Wizzard , it would increase the drama of a situation if the two swapped places with worst possible timing ...
Such as being in the process of trying to avert Fukushima going critical ...
