Earth-8918

Reality Characteristics
Earth-8918's reality is similar to that in which Alan Moore's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen series takes place, but with numerous differences inspired by both the (admittedly forgettable) film version and my own personal ideas. For instance:
 * 1) The League itself retains the original five members from the comics - Allan Quatermain, Mina Harker, Captain Nemo, the Invisible Man, and Jekyll/Hyde - but with the addition of Sherlock Holmes, Dr. John Watson and Mina Harker's husband, Jonathan.
 * 2) * The latter's status in this universe differs from both the comic and the film. In the comic, Jonathan is divorced from Mina and makes no actual appearances. In the film's universe, Mina and Jonathan stayed together until his death several years before the events of the film. In Earth-8918, not only are they still together, but they are also teammates in the League - Jonathan fills the role of the nonpowered monster hunter utilizing gadgets and trinkets.
 * 3) In the original comic, Mina Harker has no special abilities and leads the team from off the field. In the film, she is a vampire and thus has an on-the-field role. Earth-8918 meets them halfway - its Mina is a dhampir and has an on-the-field role as both a fighter and an inspiration to her teammates - kind of like Captain America.
 * 4) The Invisible Man of Earth-8918 is Griffin from the original HG Wells novel, but he has a different characterization. The comic's Griffin, whose first name is Hawley in reference to infamous serial killer Hawley Crippen, is an unrepentant murderer and serial rapist who joins the League in exchange for a pardon, only to sell them out to the Martians and get killed by Mr. Hyde. This Griffin, whose first name is Claude in reference to Invisible Man actor Claude Rains, is a little more sympathetic and doesn't go as far as Hawley, but is still far from heroic. He has a pompous, cynical attitude and is overconfident about his intelligence and powers.
 * 5) Allan Quatermain's competence level is primarily derived from the film - unlike the comics, where he's a complete burnout hooked on opioids.
 * 6) Nemo and Jekyll/Hyde are relatively unchanged from their comic book counterparts.
 * 7) Over the course of their adventures, I plan for the League to have liaisons from foreign governments: perhaps the Phantom of the Opera from France, Rodion Raskolnikov from Russia, Captain Mors from Germany and Natty Bumppo from the United States.
