The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is the titular fictional team of the comic book series of the same name created by writer Alan Moore and illustrator Kevin O' Neill. It is a team of comprised of various literary heroes.
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is a group of British citizens and colonial secret agents, employed by the British Government until the mid-20th Century, that serves to protect England from threats, both normal and paranormal.
Queen Gloriana hired Prospero aka John Suttle to form a group of heroes, forming the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. This version of the League existed for many years in the 17th Century.
In the 18th Century a new League was formed, led by Lemuel Gulliver. This incarnation lasted until Gulliver's death in 1799.
A 19th Century League was formed and led by Mina Murray. This League existed for only two years, but was very competent at its tasks in stopping Professor Moriarty and the Martian Invasion.
In the early 20th Century a new League was formed by Murray, this League existed until the 1940s.
The British Government attempted to mimic the Victorian League, but this new incarnation disastrously failed at their first attempts leading to the abandonment of the League by the Government.
Now as an independent group of the Blazing World, the League was eventually was formed in 1969 after an unsuccessful attempt in 1964 by Mina using superheroes.
The first League was established at the behest of England's Queen Gloriana recommending that Italian sorcerer Prospero and his squire Orlando found a group of extraordinary individuals after her death who would operate independently of the government. This seems to have been done in the hope of establishing a bridgehead between her own faerie realm and the mortal world, via the ethereal Blazing World archipelago in the North Atlantic, in the wake of her successor King Jacob's ruthless purge of faeriekind from the British Isles, and the subsequent retreat of those magical elements from everyday life.
