The idea has been rolling around in my head for quite a while and I decided I wanted to do a one-shot with this idea. It would be with Savage Worlds and would involve the League in 1999 - on the cusp of the 21st century. Some villain(s) were threatening the world and only an assortment of characters from the past 25 years stood in their way.
The premise behind the League is that the characters of fiction are real. Most of the most renown characters in the past 30 years have been TV or movie characters - larger than life, people whose name you know even if you haven't seen them or read them.
Here are some characters I brainstormed. You'll see some of these fulfill different niches, and more than a few are essentially "duplicates" (fulfilling the same role). But you get the idea.
John McClain – Die Hard
John Rambo – First Blood
Doc Emmet Brown – Back to the Future
Clarice Starling – Silence of the Lambs
Sarah Connor – Terminator 2: Judgment Day
Jules Winnfield – Pulp Fiction
Egon Spangler – Ghostbusters
Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez – Highlander
Ash Williams – Evil Dead II
Roy Neary – Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Karate Kid – Karate Kid
Cole Sear – The Sixth Sense
Agent J – Men in Black
“Crocodile” Mick Dundee – Crocodile Dundee
David Lightman – War Games

I didn't know Ash had a last name! So, when Ash wakes up in the future at the end of Army of Darkness, he'll have to battle Terminators, then, right?
In the original, the characters were all from the '80s, as the scenario was set ten years after their incidents.
