Your own LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN!

Hah, what a great idea. Don't mind if I do. Circa the mid 1870s.

C. Auguste Dupine: An old man by now, but still sharp-minded and surprisingly spry. The brains of the operation. (Poe, various)

John Clayton, Viscount Greystoke: A charismatic adventurer-lord and the team's field leader. His grandson will achieve some notoriety as Tarzan, the Ape-Man. (Burroughs, various)

Rodian Romanovich Raskolnikov: Nearly a decade in prison has eliminated his neurotic reaction to crime but has not done away with his self-aggrandized attitude. He now kills enthusiastically, and has a remarkable genius for it. He agrees to assist the League in return for a reduction of his sentence. (Dostoyevsky, Crime and Punishment)

Beloved: A malevolent spirit (or so they say) from America, possessed of a myriad of other-worldly powers. She can be controlled only so long as she remains entertained. (Morrison, Beloved)

Bertie Wells: A petulant child prodigy, inventor and engineering wizard responsible for most of the league's equipment. He is assisted in all things by the Morlock, a monstrously strong creature who is inexplicably subservient to Bertie, the only one capable of communicating with it. (Wells, The Time Machine)

Jo March: A hot-tempered young woman from America, she came to Europe seeking adventure (found) and perhaps to write a novel (in progress). She is initially something of a stowaway and hanger-on with the group, but proves herself to be spirited, resourceful, a quick learner, and exceptionally stubborn. She falls somewhere between the solemn maturity of Dupine and Greystoke and the wild misbehaviour of Bertie and Beloved. (Alcott, Little Women)


Wow, it was a real stretch to make some of those fit.

To combat the truly terrifying, the League of the Uncanny(horror-fantasy):

Count Dracula. Not the bloodthirsty monster as depicted by Bram Stoker, but the gentleman seen in Fred Saberhagen's "The Dracula Tapes" and "An Old Friend of the Family". Dark, seductive, a little sinister, but ultimately willing to defend his world from the truly evil.

Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden. Wizard-for-hire. Conjure by his name at your own risk. Accepted Dracula's offer when the Vampire Lord promised to negotiate with Maab to release Dresden from his obligations as her Winter Knight.

Sookie Stackhouse and Eric Northman. Telepathic waitress and her vampire husband(I'm going with the original 'Southern Vampire Mystery' novels, not the TV show 'True Blood').

Roland Deschain. Gunslinger. Paladin for justice in a truly alien world. "He who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father..."

Buffy Summers. Vampire Slayer. After the destruction of Sunnydale, she's looking for a new purpose in her life. Dracula remembered her from their first encounter, so he offers her one.

Coraline Jones. Average girl who fell into Dracula's radar when she defeated the Other Mother, secretly one of the Fairie or Kindly Ones. To accomplish such a feat requires great levels of strength, which Dracula will require for his team to succeed in their mission.

Their enemies are a powerful cartel of sorcerers, led by the mysterious Tom Riddle, who are seeking to unleash one of the Great Old Ones. Naturally, Dracula's not having any of that!
