League of Extraordinary Fictional Characters

[RobinStarwing]

So it seems my Video Game one has gotten to two pages with some nice entries. That means this area gets it's own for fictional characters. Books, TV, Comics, Anime, Film, Table-Top RPG...as long as the person is action oriented, it can be here. Same format as before.

NAME(SERIES)
IMAGE
REASON

Let's begin with mine!


Teal'c (Stargate: SG1)

Let's face it, this guy is just awesome in my book. Funny when it comes to understanding Terrans yet one of the best fighters in the Galaxy. Not many could compete with him in a battlefield as he has proven in Ten Seasons.


Artemis Enteri(Forgotten Realms)

This was a call between him and Drizzt. Decided with Artemis as we need a good dose of Anti-hero angst and swordplay. That said, Artemis brings his style of swordplay and the fact he's the King of Assasins helps as well.


From here on, it's anime gals mostly friends. Apologies to those that don't like these gals. There is one guy though so do enjoy.

The Major (Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex)

Spec Ops with a twist. Able to hack any machine or cyborg and has skills even a Naruto Ninja would envy. Not to mention the firepower she can wield. There is also the fact she makes up the tactical mind of this group.

Sousuke Sagara(Full Metal Panic!)

The only man whose social interaction skills suck worse than Teal'c but has access to a Mecha and enough Military firepower to bring a city to it's knees single-handedly. Not to mention a Mecha with the ability to unleash focused blasts of energy that defy Newtonian Physics.

Yeah, going to violate it a bit by having two co-leaders.

Usagi Tsukino/Princess Serenity/Sailor Moon[Eternal Form]/Sailor Cosmos(Bish?jo Senshi Sailor Moon)

One of the two Anime chars of the 90 who defined the idea of the Indestructible Hero that no matter how often you beat them down, they got up and gave you an asskicking you would remember for decades (the other being Goku of DB fame). Usagi brings not only her upbeat manner, unjudging quality, and quirky charm of people liking her on first meeting. She also brings a fair amount of courage. Yeah she can be whiny and lazy but eh, hero's aren't supposed to be perfect and good heroes are far from it.



Lina Inverse(Slayers)

The other half of the leadership is made up with in your face brashness and comedy. If at first you don't succeed, Dragon Slave it. If that doesn't work, Giga Slave the entire thing! Lina Inverse is even more into blowing things to bits than Sousuke. She is proof that if it's worth doing right, it's worth doing overkill. Not to mention her tenacity and need to never give up make her quite the leader. Also, her work ethic compliments some of Usagi's personality quirks (and vice versa).

[Magus]

Hey yo that's totally like six characters instead of five, you have to drop one (I recommend Sailor Moon). Unless you think two wizard chicks can handle co-leadership, frankly I think those two's personalities would clash. Also the major would make a better leader anyway! There's all kinds of criticisms to make here!

I have to think mine up but I have to ask: I could have sworn last time I read one of those Forgotten Realms books Artemis Entreri was rockin' a villainous pointy villain goatee, what gives with this artwork?

EDIT: Wait, he may be rockin' a soul patch, it's hard to see. Still think he shoulda kept the pointy villain goatee.

I said I violated it and as the original poster, I get too. So... Besides, it's a MINIMUM of Five.

I had a hard time deciding between Lina or Sailor Moon but the more I thought on it, the more I realized that as much as their personalities clashed...they also complimented each other. Besides, Sailor Moon isn't a Wizard-Chick. She is more the Paladin and also represents the need for restraint and seeing the good in all people. She also leads by heart, not mind, inspiring others with her valor and courage.

Lina on the other hand is the pure Arcane might of the group. She may sometimes be greedy and not wanting to get involved. BUT, when she does get involved...you know things are going to go to hell in a big way. They don't call her "Enemy of all who live" for nothing. She is also a co-leader for a never say die attitude, work ethic, and her access to much lore thanks to her travels and adventures.

I would of gone with The Major but I wanted a varied team and magic will always trump technology most of the time (exception is Sousuke in the Arbalest). The Major may have the best experience but think of her role as the Stealth one of the group and not the leadership. Think of her in Batman's role in Justice League, the stealth and gadgets person.

As for Artemis, that is part of the cover for either Promise Of The Witch King or Road Of The Patriarch in "The Sellswords" Triology I think.

[Magus]

Oh, a minimum of five, I thought it was the maximum.

Yeah I may have just misread how Entreri's beard was, I could have sworn there was at least one line in a book that was like "Entreri stroked his pointy beard...villainously".

I kind of see how magic would usually outweigh technology but the Major would somehow figure out a way to get around it. 'Cause she's the Major.

I never expected someone to pick T'ealc though so your team gets 9.97/10.

[Amake]

So this is a team assembled for the purposes of kicking ass and having interesting conversations.

We have Leeloo, the perfect organism, with an unfathomable capacity for learning. Five hundred pounds of kickass in a hundred pound jar; compassionate, naive, orange-haired. She's got a multipass and she's not entirely unclear on how to use it.

And Spider Jerusalem, the fearless brain-damaged face of drug abuse. I mean truth-seeking. Journalism. Hard-hitting, bowel-disrupting journalism.

And Alita, the Battle Angel. Just in case we need to fight any giant robots. She's looking scared in this picture and undeniably she's not a perfect fighting machine. But if you knock her down, she gets up again.

Lucifer, obviously, is the bad boy. He's just as likely to ignite a sun in the captain's heart as helping out. But damn it, he's so pretty. I mean talented.

The Captain is the captain, by the way. Ruthless, confident, brash, incredible judge of character and identifier of identical twins, absolutely loyal, and tends to inspire the same in his crew.

And then there's Death.

The League of Extraordinary Leagues of Extraordinary Gentlemen?



Mina Murray: The Hat!



Alan Quartermain: The Swayze!



The Invisible Man: The Rape!



Doctor Jekyll: This Guy!



Captain Nemo: The Ship (Secondary Mutation: Fluid National Origin!)

[A Zarkin' Frood]

Berserk: Guts

He's known to be unstoppable with a sword. So he'll be the guy providing the violence whenever needed. Which will be a lot with him around because he's having a hard time solving his problems through other means. But he's trying, okay? So give him credit for that.

Transmetropolitan: Spider Jerusalem

Spider will be the intelligence department. You'd also not want to piss him off, or he'll piss on you. He can also do other nasty stuff you wont forget. For example he'll use the "You're full of shit, but not for long" line way more often than YOU would think it's funny. But he'll get a kick out of it every single time. Maybe because he simply forgot he used it before. (e: In case I was not clear, he can make you shit yourself by pulling the trigger of his trusty bowel disruptor)

Gungrave: Bear Walken

He's Bear Walken


Various: Samuel F. Jackson

I was gonna put Mace Windu up here, but then I think Jedi powers just don't cut it in todays extraordinary leagues. So here's the real thing. Sam F Jackson, before the F fell over and lost a rib out of the sheer amazement of being in Samuel Jacksons name.

The in-universe low budget film from the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya: Mikuru Asahina or Asahina Mikuru, I don't even know which one's her first name.

Mikuru Beam. She'll be leader because I think it would be funny to see her ordering people like Sam Jackson, Guts, Spider Jerusalem and Bear Walken around like nothing.

EDIT: An honorary member from Sandman.
It is never shown, but probably mentioned. It's not an actual member of the League, but it helped them out on several occasions.
Here's the eighth of the Endless.
Disappointment

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

This dude x as many as you damn well need!

[Fifthfiend]

These guys



I think this would make a totally excellent league of fictional wait shit archbio beat me to it

Fuck you, posting anyway

EDIT: Modern league would be like... the Terminator, the fat guy from Lost, Lisa from the 1980s teen comedy Weird Science, Patricia Arquette's character from CBS and/or ABC psychic-detective drama Medium, and Tom Cruise. Not any character played by Tom Cruise. Actually Tom Cruise. They get their missions from what's her fucking name, the girl from Titanic who was an old-ass lady at the end.

[RobinStarwing]

Um...did anyone pick up I was maybe wanting more MODERN fictional characters?
