this has been posted many moons ago but wanted to give it another try. i love the movie and the idea of a team comprised of old classic fictional characters appeals to me. who would a new team consist of ? if a team were established then maybe someone with interest could bring them to life. maybe the doctor from the H.G Wells book the Time Machine could travel in time to collect this new team. he could be made using inks Prof. X and the floating chair mesh. ive got a few characters in mind but more interested in the minds of others!
I've thought about this. It sorta' depends on what bounds you want to place on membership. I've thought that a pulp era team would be fun, but if time travel is involved you could just as easily do the heroes of epics or some other random combination. You could have Achilles, Ulysses, Gilgamesh, Aeneas, Beowulf, and Roland facing down threats just as easily as Billy the Kid, Davey Crockett, and a number of other dime novel heroes.
I always thought something like a superhero team of tall tales characters with Pecos Bill, Davy Crocket and Paul Bunyan would be pretty interesting.
the possibilities are endless. :D
It's why I did The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh, Dr. Calagari, and am working on Fantomas.
League of Murderous Lunatics.
In the Black Dossier Mina said Fantomas scared her worse than Dracula did. Now THAT is saying something.
Tarzan
John Carter of Mars
Frankenstein, a little clichéd though.
The unnamed narrator from Poe's The Raven
Nice ideas!
How about Solomon Kane, Conan and John Carter of Mars team up?
I like the idea of Lone Ranger, James Bond, and TinTin versus Fu Manchu and Nosferatu
Or this dream team - Robin Hood, Ivanhoe and the Three Musketeers brought into the future to fight the Nazis...led by Ming the Merciless.
Ichabod Crane versus Jack the Ripper? (heh cheating a bit maybe)
