The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen: 1996 would include Dana Scully and Zack Morris. I desperately want this come Yuletide—or fanfic involving the cast seen in the posters behind them. Since that one would be Egon, Max Headroom, Jem, Connor Macleod, Teen Wolf, someone from Tron, Carmen Sandiego, KITT, and a few others I cannot identify. (Hey, someone wrote this for me one year, I’d love to see either of these, too.) So I may just end up nominating both, if I’m able and don’t have any other prompts. If it weren’t 1996 and therefore pre-season 1, I would agree with the comments to add Willow or Buffy.
