The origin story aside (and I find this 1888 encyclopedia entry about it very droll), I think it would rock to have a group named, “The Thundering Legion.” I mean, is that a name or is that a name?
Heck, now that I think of it, that whole Victorian Era sensibiliity about the name (rubbed off from the encyclopedia itself) might be the best thing about it. A displaced band of late 19th Century science heroes, sort of a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen bit (Lady Photon, bless’er, writ large) …
Hmmmm ….
That is a cool name. 🙂
That reminds me of an idea for Victorian Heroes I saw a long time ago.

“The Bounder” was the other one. Great stuff.
There’s a lot of potential there — if only I wasn’t already supersaturated with characters and SGs … 🙂
