With different characters from different settings, I'd not care much about issues like that since the setting would need to be changed. I'd use this team for a modern day campaign or more likely mainly in demoes of GURPS as being able to pull off cinematic action style games.
For personal use what I'm planning is Monster Hunters 2060 (working title). It would use GURPS Cyberworld as the base setting but would have Night City from RT Games Cyberpunk 2020 as the main campaign city. Night City renamed as Knight City and created by Knight Industries (from Knight Rider TV series). The Robocop program created by OCP (from Robocop movies) has become operational with a small number of robocops on duty in Knight City after seeing success on a few cities already -- including New Detriot. I'll borrow from GURPS Cyberpunk, Bio-Tech (with emphasis on cyberware but with some genetic engineering and soft-tissue tech). Cyberware gained acceptance and funding quicker and is more advanced than genetech.
Drop in the fantastic and horror elements incorporating ideas from various shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Supernatural, The Dresden Files, Night Stalker, Charmed, and Forever Knight. Many of these have conflicts so I'll pick and choose as I please. For instance the Watcher Council will handle training and managing Slayers (one in each region rather than ONE in each generation) and watching immortals. The MIB exist and would be taken from GURPS Black Ops - greatly toned down and somewhat decimated in recent years, as well as from Conspiracy X (two sometimes competing organizations). Wolfram and Hart from Angel would be replaced by Arasaka as the main villian organization (the created a program called Soulkiller, they really need to be a demonic organization). It would have ties to the cabal and most likely be run by a powerful demon or vampire. I would dump 90% of the gangs listed in the Night City Sourcebook and replace or transform the rest. For instance, Fangs of Justice would be mostly a human gang of altered vampire posers. But a few members really
are vampires. The Golden Knights are actually a small gang of monster hunters though they also deal with mundane issues from time to time.
The White Council may exist, but it certainly wouldn't be at all limited to the depiction from the Dresden Files. It would more than likely be influenced by my own campaigns needs and sources I like such as Angel/Buffy and Charmed (I'm not a big follower of Charmed but I've caught a few episodes).
