I have a strange idea that is both inspired by "Defenders of the earth" and "League of Extraordinary gentlemen". It's about to bring together the most unlikely characters to be together on a team.
It starts in modern day when strange things happen. Waves of energy come and change the world in different ways (evironment, climate, animal life, human way of thinking) Similar to the waves in the book/film "Son of thunder"
The federal agency BPRD is investigating this. But during one of the waves, Liz Sherman disappears into thin air. And other bad things happen around the world.
The waves are connected to some event into the past. Someone has altered the timeline. The only thing to do is to travel back in time. BPRD orders Hellboy and Abe Sapiens to visit the the late 1880s. They bring an aged sailor with them, Popeye (he would be pretty old by now if he was a real person but don't worry, all the spinach has slowed down his aging), and also the european reporter/adventurer Tintin (an explanation to him never growing old could be some unbelievable fantasy-connection, like his parents being elves).
The first find themselves in a victorian England, adding Sherlock Holmes & Dr Watson to their team, and facing the extremely dangerous Jack The Ripper, one of the villains working together. He escapes, and the story moves to the old west, where Lucky Luke, Trinity & Bambino, Buffalo Bill and Sitting Bull joins the heroes, and Billy The Kid, Calamity Jane and Jesse James are bad guys.
Other characters along the story will be Zorro (good), Tarzan (good), Phileas Fogg (good), d'Artagnan (good), David Copperfield (good), Oliver Twist (good), Nicholas Nickelby (good), Quasimodo (bad), Huckleberry Finn (bad), Fagin (bad), Artful Dodger (bad), Ebenezer Scrooge (bad), The Time Traveller (bad), Frankenstein (bad), Dracula (bad).
The evil plan is to perform egyptian magic who can wake mummys from their sleep, and injecting their dead DNA into people creates blod-thirsty zombies. The plan also includes experiments with breeding werewolves and building robots, perhaps creating an army of each to take over the world. Can our heroes defeat all the villains?
It's thrilling to imagine this and how fantastical it could be. But in reality it's hard to make this into something else than just crap.
And it will be impossible to get all the rights to use the different characters.
