Okay, the LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN consists of well-known characters like Dr. Jekyll and Captain Nemo. If you could assemble your own "League," who would be the members?
I suggest:
* Quasimoto - The Hunchback of Notre Dame
* Phileas Fogg - From "Around the World in 80 Days"
* Jack Frost
* Tom Thumb
* Orville Redenbacher - The popcorn king
* Ronald McDonald
* Jughead Jones - From the "Archie" comics
Great idea, Burgo. Here's mine:
The Terminator
James Bond
Wong Fei-Hung
Rambo
Robocop
Pretty one-dimensional, I know. But those are the five I could think of off the top of my head.
Nick
I'll make my league consist of movie characters
Ash
Edward Scissorhands
The Terminator
Bruce Lee
Godzilla
Spider-Man
Here's my list of Extra Ordinary Gentleman
Ash
Conan
Snake Pliskin
Blain (Jesse Ventura from Predator)
Man with No Name (Clint Eastwood)
Thunderlips (Hulk Hogan from Rocky III)
Jack Nicholson (Any of his characters)
Marlon Brando (Any of his characters)
Humphrey Bogart (Any of his Characters)
Pee Wee Herman (Fart Man in Mystery Men)
I'll call them "The Ten"
How about a League consisting of:
INDIANA JONES
THE GREEN HORNET
DOC SAVAGE
SIR DENIS NAYLAND SMITH
THE SHADOW
DR WHO (Okay, I know it's technically just "The Doctor"! Sheesh!)
CAPTAIN Z-RO
All of them safeguarding the World of the 1930's!
Or better still, a League consisting of:
RAQUEL WELCH
STELLA STEVENS
JOAN COLLINS
SOPHIA LOREN
SYBIL DANNING
CAROLINE MONROE
SUSAN LUCCI
MIE HAMA
All of them looking the way they did in the mid to late 80's! They wouldn't have to safeguard anything, necessarily, just kind of stand around...
Or Hell, a bit more seriously, how about a kickass League of Western Gunfighters? Even if the following guys never met in real life, at least they were each alive around the same time. (But I grant you with Hickok's 1876 death the story would obviously have to take place around or before then.)
WILD BILL HICKOK
DOC HOLLIDAY
BAT MASTERSON
LUKE SHORT
LONG-HAIRED JIM COURTRIGHT(Oh , the irony of those two being teammates)
CALAMITY JANE
BELLE STARR
BEN THOMPSON( My favorite Forgotten Gunfighter! I think he needs a catchy nickname to help his name resonate with the public at large so I often take the liberty of referring to him as TEXAS BEN THOMPSON since many Western History books say he and his brother Billy were occassionally called Texas Ben and Texas Billy. I've had better luck getting people to take an interest in the guy by calling him TEXAS BEN THOMPSON, then once their hooked on the guy's fascinating life story they forget all about the fact that he was apparently rarely called Texas ben.)
How about a "League of Extraordinarily Goofy Monsters"?
Tabanga from FROM HELL IT CAME
Carpet Monster from THE CREEPING TERROR
Mohawk Buzzard from THE GIANT CLAW
Cecile's destructive brother from REPILICUS
Multi-tongued, google-eyed monster from HORROR OF PARTY BEACH
Iguana with a thyroid condition from KING DINOSAUR
Waffle coned creature from IT CONQUERED THE WORLD
and the leader of the bunch?
Diver Magilla from ROBOT MONSTER
The MST3K version includes
Mitchell (Joe Don Baker from Mitchell)
Torgo (From Manos: Hands of Fate)
Pumaman (From Pumaman)
Lobo (Bride of the Monster) or Joseph Javorsky (Beast of Yucca Flats) - Both Tor Johnson
Coleman Francis as Griffin (Red Zone Cuba)
and
The Phantom of Krankor (Prince of Space)
Clint Eastwood
Tracy Lords
Ellen Ripley
Manni(From Brotherhood of the wolf)
Eric Draven
Bruce Lee
Conan
The Doctor
Randolph Carter
Herbert West
Titus Crow
Ash
Ellen Ripley
I know they're from all different periods, but that's what the TARDIS is for, eh?
Brother R
Hmmm, thinking of a group with complementary skills from about the same ten or fifteen-year period:
John McClane
Seth Brundle
Howlin' Mad Murdoch
MacGyver
Steve Austin
Robert McCall
and their leader, who would still be in business, Gary Seven
Kingdinosaur....good list.
Hummm....
Han Solo and Chewie.
Starbuck and Boomer.
Lone star and Mogg.
Kirk and Spock.
Like to see who comes out the leader in THAT group!
Here's mine:
John Holmes
Ron Jeremy
Grimace
Mr. Clean
Pauly Shore
Easy.
The Phantom - Supernatural
Swamp Thing - Super Strength
Flash Gordon - Tech Guy
Pat Garrett - Bad Ass Cowboy
Catwoman - Thieving Hot Babe
I just want to point out to SkullNinja, I don't think any MST3k League would be complete without Rowsdower.
For my own:
Ash
Conner McLoud (From HIGHLANDER)
The Blues Brothers
Billy Jack
Stan Winston
Jules (Sameul L Jackson from PULP FICTION)
and Jackie Chan
Mkay lemme think....
Matthias Hues from "I Come In Peace" (which ran the other night as Dark Angel)
Michael Dudikoff
Michael Pare from Eddie and the Cruisers because my League needs theme music
MATTHEW BLACKHEART MONSTER SMASHER!
Riddick from Pitch Black
also Jack from Pitch Black
Michelle Rodriguez
oh, yes, and John Edward so in case any team member dies in the enemy's castle he can contact them and get all the info he can about the castle
and that Pet Psychic so that if the enemy has evil hungry flesh-eating dogs she can, y'know, talk to them and soothe them about the way their former owner used to beat them with an extension cord.
ahh, yes, and Ron Jeremy. he's gotta be good for something.
....geez one more, can i add the guys from Boondock Saints?
Here's some of my favorites from the ones listed
Tor Johnson
Steve Austin
Jake and Elwood (Blues Brothers)
Pauly Shore

Dammit. How could I forget Zap Rowsdower (Christian Malcolm) from Final Sacrifice? I feel him and Mitchell would hit it off like Oil and Oil.
