> Had an idea to split the Lair Legion into American and European factions wayyy back in the day. Why? Well, Giffen and DeMatteis' Justice League International was awesome; might as well see what we could do with the concept. No one listened to me. So it goes. Ha.
>
> I remember that Lisa, Nats, and maybe Vizh and Yo were on the team, but I don't appear to have written it down (or saved it if I did), and my memory's going in my young age, so I don't remember the old plans. It was going to be my second major arc in Lair Legion Chronicles from #27-40 or something. I don't think I finished #13 of that series. You see how I plan ahead. Ha again. (But let me tell you about it someday. Grand, ambitious arcs. Dark Thugos vs. the world. The New Anti-Legion. LLA/LLE/LLI. Dark Sorceress. A Hooded Hood story not written by the man himself! Madness.)

> Anyway, it's a new world these days, and now I'm plumbing the depths of the Who's Who, because this question really intrigues me. Hmm.
>
> Naturally, you'd want character whose origins (or whose creator's/poster's origins) stem from somewhere across the Atlantic. That pretty much leaves us with all the Englishmen and Yo. Hmm again. Not to mention you'd also need a base of operations, one as bizarre and intricate as Parodiopolis, but without the ten years of development we've already got. Hmmmmm.
>
> Okay, a lineup is forming in my head. I think it'd have some very fun character dynamics. None of them are active on the board right now, but that's never stopped me before.
>
> 1. Yo - I miss the little thought-being, and dashing across Europe in a Zorro outfit just seems right to me.
>
> 2. dull thud, because he's a Scot, and he's damn fun to write, so why the heck not. Cressida too, of course.
>
> 3. A returned Nats (and therefore Uhuna) - Well, because people have been asking, and a guy who can fly pretty fast won't mind hopping over the pond to hang out with some old pals. He would probably be looking for a change of pace, anyway. Plus, it turns out he's super-popular in Germany. No one knows why.
>
> 4. De Brown Streak - 'cause, hey, a speedster can jet to and fro across the ocean, too, and there'd be some drama to play with now that Nats and Uhuna are back in the picture.
>
> 5. Messenger - But a new one, I think, a female, secretly working as an agent of the Vatican, and yes, I just made all this up but it sounds neat in my head. I'm sure the Pope can turn out to be some cosmic entity or something in due time.
>
> 6. Xander the Improbable - About time he showed up again, and he never did join the LL before. If he's not available, put in a call to his cousin, Anaxamander the Impossible, if you must. He does a lot of standing around and sipping tea and delivering ominous portents disguised as pithy quips.
>
> 7. Elsqueevio, Greek god of small waters. No? I think it'd be funny.
>
> 8. We need more ladies. Um... Dancer? The Contessa? Do we have a Crimson Fox-esque figure?
>
> It certainly isn't perfect, but it's a start. I kinda wanna write this now, damn you all. I haven't even been to bloody Europe...
