Previous Post If you were to create a Lair Legion using established fictional characters , who would you pick and why? Try to come up with seven protagonists who could fit the general niche of the Parodyverse's mightiest, yet also weirdest, heroes. I'll post mine after I run my errands. And here we go. Lining up the new Lair Legion: Who: Metamorpho. Formerly Rex Mason, an adventurer/archaeologist changed by a mystic artifact into a being with vast transmutative powers. Where's he from: DC Comics (created by Bob Haney) Why he'd fit: If there is any "real" superhero who could be transplanted whole cloth into the Parodyverse, its him. Weird look, cool powers, William Bendix (dating myself here)-like personality, and a fun supporting cast. Who: Doctor Byron Orpheus, necromancer. Where's he from: The Venture Brothers (created by Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer) Why'd he fit: He's an overly melodramatic sorcerer entrusted to protect our world from Horrors Beyond in addition to being a single parent. Already a parody. Who: Atomic Robo, an adventurer/scientist built nearly a century ago by Nicolas Tesla Where he's from: The comic book you should be reading (created by Brian Clevinger and Scott Wegener) Why he'd fit: He's a super-strong, super tough, super smart robot with a wry sense of humor. Runs his own think tank. Who: Wonderella. Imagine Elaine from Seinfeld as a superhero Where's she from: "The Non Adventures of Wonderella" web comic by Justin Pierce. Why she'd fit: She's got the standard Superman type power set with an incredibly snarky attitude. Once made Batman cry. Who: Ultimate Warrior Where's he from: Parts Unknown (actually the World Wrestling Federation) Why he'd fit: He's a battle crazy quasi-mystical bad ass who gave some of the most bizarre promos in wrestling history. Who: LOLBat (pictured here with his sidekick Retweet). Where's he from: Scott Kurtz's "PvP" webcomic Why he'd fit: By day he's a staid and sober hypercompetent butler named "Butler". By night he fights crime while spouting various internet memes. Plus, Retweet! Who: The Snow Queen, the personification of Winter Where's she from: Trudy Cooper's NOT SAFE FOR WORK SO BE CAREFUL GOOGLING IT webcomic "The Adventures of Oglaf" Why'd she fit: The Legion has a history of characters who are a blend of innocent ingenue and sexpot, which the Snow Queen is.

Visonary - stop posting videos and draw us team versions of our choices!

Here're mine:


Who: Jessica Rabbit
Where's she from: Umm …*blinks*… sorry what? *blinks*
Why'd she fit: She’s a sexpot parody all rolled up into delicious …*blinks* … sorry what?
Note – even though I’ve gone for a realistic pic here she’d be her cartoon-ish self of course.


Who: Tank Girl
Where’s she from: A post apocalyptic future in her eponymous comic.
Why’d she fit: She’s not afraid to cuss, she drives a tank, and she shoots big guns – duh! Perfect spoil for Jessica Rabbit’s smoothness. She also has an anthropomorphic kangaroo for a boyfriend.


Who: He-Man
Where’s he from: Eternia, and the Castle Grayskull.
Why’d he fit: He’s your Slim Summers, your Hatman, your hero with a conscience. Perfect balance and foil to the rest of the mob I’m gathering. (plus he has a pet cat who talks and a nerdy alter-ego). Hilarity ensures.


Who: Monkey Magic
Where’s he from: Monkey the dubbed English language version of the Japanese television series Saiyūki, based on the classic sixteenth century Chinese novel Journey to the West by Wu Cheng'en.
Why’d he fit: He’s funny, he flies on a cloud, pulls a magic staff from behind his ear, isn’t afraid to call the villains pooftas, is a kick-ass fighter, and gets drunk every now and then. He brings the mythological gods into play.


Who: Thorin Oakenshield – team leader.
Where’s he from: He’s the Dwarven leader of a rabble of Dwarves, one Grey Wizard, and one Hobbit burglar in JRR Tolkien’s The Hobbit.
Why’d he fit: He’s a curmudgeonly Dwarf with an axe! Who else is going to be able to lead this mob?


Who: Aladdin
Where’s he from: Back to his roots in the original source where he’s a young Chinese (not Arabic) ingénue. Please put the Disney version out of your mind.
Why’d he fit: Innocence…and the ability to call forth a magical Genii to do his wishes. What more do you want? We’d have to alter the wish count somewhat – how about three every 24 hours.


Who: Jason
Where’s he from: Battle of the Planets the American animated television adaptation of the Japanese anime series Science Ninja Team Gatchaman (what a shame they didn’t keep that name!)
Why’d he fit: He’s headstrong, the Iron-Man to your Cap, the Wolverine to Cyclops. He also drives a kick-ass car. He sneaks out at night and probably smokes. Secretly, you admire him more than you do the goody-goody Scott. We’d have to alter him somewhat to fit this team – let’s call forth from Japanese anime and have his car transform into a kick-ass mecha-warrior suit as well. Cool!


Who: Serendipity the Sea Monster
Where’s she from: The first book in Stephen Cosgrove's Serendipity series.
Why’d she fit: She’s pink! She’s a Sea Monster! And She has important work to do! Awww!
She’s the moral backbone for the team (lord knows they’ll need one).

She also eats My Little Ponies for snacks…just sayin’.
