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.
