Werehawk Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Re: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen for 2008 Come on guys' date=' four pages and no one has suggested [i']Bernard Quatermass?[/i] Only one of the quintessential British heroes of this century... Oh, and John Carter is in the prologue to LoEG II, so he probably shouldn't be in the modern version. I suggested him on the first page along with Dr Simon Quist (Doomwatch). Quatermass would handle the space sciences while Quist would take the planetary ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba smith Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Re: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen for 2008 Speaking of Burton, what about ole Jack Burton? Sure he's not British, but could you imagine him and James Bond working together? I always thought Tarzan would be a good fit. both ideas sound good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen_hydra Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Re: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen for 2008 How about Richard Mayhew from Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere? ...or for a woman character, Door, also from Neverwhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowsoul Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Re: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen for 2008 King Arthur is supposed to come back when Britain is in peril and Merlin is supposedly stuck in an island cave for eternity so either of them could be freed/summoned and dropped into a Modern League. I would throw in another vote for James Bond, Doctor Who and Constantine. A few other outside possibilities and characters who might have a cameo in modern league stories. Jonathan Creek. Zenith Private Cooper. (Would require a Mina-esque rewrite in which he was bitten by the Werewolves). Modesty Blaise Artemis Fowl Lady Door Was thinking the same thing there. She'd be very useful.

Curufea Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Re: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen for 2008 Was thinking the same thing there. She'd be very useful. But prone to be politically entangled with other power blocks for London Below. She might have time for an adventure now and then, possibly - but would quite likely have her peers interrupt at some stage. She'd be more available before she became the last of her family/house.

Tigereye Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Re: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen for 2008 Considering I run a time-displaced James Bond in a semi-four-color (or would that be four-colour?) Champions game, I also nominate him. This vote is not just for that, however: just a Google search for "fictional British hero" brings him up more often than anyone else- and I honestly thought it would be Sherlock Holmes! Another vote for some more female membership: Modesty Blaise, the female M, et al. Perhaps Lara Croft? Also: Bulldog Drummond John Drake/Number 6 Henry "Indiana" Jones, Jr. (although not British, he has a Scottish father) Simon Templar aka "The Saint" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
