Fictional Groups (that I wish were real)

When ever you watch movies, or read books, you always run across a group of people that just seem way to cool to be real. Most of the time...it's because they aren't real. But, that doesn't mean you wouldn't have a damn good time hanging with them if they were.

That got me thinking about the top five fictional groups that I would want to hang with if they were, you know...real.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen -- How seriously cool would it be to hang out, and kick butt, with explorer Allan Quartermain, Captian Nemo (I was going to say Captain Captain Nemo...but that would just be silly), sexy Mina Harker of Dracula fame, Rodney Skinner (AKA The Invisible Man), Dorian Gray, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Tom Sawyer. 

I have only one question about this group of awesomeness. What is Tom Sawyer doing here? I can understand Dorian Gray-as long as no one screws with his portrait he's essentially immortal. Mina Harker has experience with vampires. Captain Nemo has a cool sub. The Invisible Man is, well, invisible. Allan Quartermain is a kick ass hunter/explorer. Dr. Jekyll is a Doctor...Mr. Hyde is a freaking crazy man. Tom Sawyer...is...southern?? What the hell does he bring tot he group? What is his special power... that he can con people into doing stuff for him?

However you look at it, Tom Sawyer aside, that's a pretty cool group to hang out with.

Timelords -- Granted there is really only the one left. Unless you count the Master who seems to pop in and out of existence whenever he feels like it. But, lets face it....traveling with a Timelord like The Doctor would open many avenues to you. Heck you wouldn't have to worry about hanging out with any other groups since you could hang with them all! Shakespeare, done. VanGogh, done. Crazy alien cat people, done!

Another plus is that you've got yourself a posh spaceship-y time travel vehicle to use. The only down side is that you may never get exactly where you want to go. I once read an article that said The Doctor is actually lost 90% of the time. The Tardis seems to go where it wants or is needed more often then where The Doctor wants it to go. Granted that may be part of the fun and charm of traveling with him. Plus, I'm holding out hope that if I was able to travel with him it would be the one time that he had regenerated into a woman. But, I'd still know that he had been like 11 other dudes. I guess it would make a big difference how hot he...er...she was at the time. I'm sure that says something about me on a deeper level...but I don't want to think of that.

The crew from Aqua Teen Hunger Force - Again, how can you argue with hanging with a group this cool? A giant Milkshake, a freaking wad of meat, and a fuckin' floating box of fries that can shoot lasers from his eyes. Plus, from time to time they solve crime...but not really.

Living in a world where these guys are real means also dealing with aliens from the moon, the cybernetic ghost of Christmas past, and Carl. Come to think of it...I'd rather hang with Carl. He's got a pool, sweet sweat pants and he always has the ladies over. Wait, he never has the ladies over. Damn another situation where I would be hanging with a bunch of dudes. I really need to rethink this list.

Columbus, Tallahassee, Wichita, Little Rock, Zombie Bill Murray - In a world over run by zombies he helps to hand with a neurotic dude with a laundry list of things to do to stay alive. A bad ass, gun carrying, Twinkie loving zombie killing machine. A hotty with a wicked sense of humor (and her little sister). Also, lets not forget zombie Bill Murray...gotta have a funny guy in the group.

I have a feeling that when not killing your way from town to town, in hopes of finding other survivors of the zombie Apocalypse, there would be some good conversation. Tallahassee could regale us with past zombie kills, while also playing the father figure role. Columbus would be just neurotic enough not to get killed or get anyone else killed. Wichita would either turn out to be your best friend of the biggest pain in the ass ever. Little Rock...well for a kid sister I'd say she would be pretty cool to hang out with.

In the end it would all come back to zombies. Which would be pretty cool. Unless you got bite taken out of you...then it would suck.

The Pentaverate -- It's a well know fact that there's a group of the five wealthiest people in the world known as the pentaverate, who run everything in the world, including the newspapers. They meet tri-annually at a secret country mansion known as, the Meadows. So who's in this pentaverate? The Queen, The Vatican, The Gettes, The Rothchilds and Col. Sanders before he went tets up.

By far my number one group. Money, power, fame, CHICKEN....who could ask for anything more. For just a taste of what awesome power would come with membership to this group check out The Queen's twitter page @Queen_UK .

You would never need to pay for anything, I would assume. Plus you've got an in at the Vatican, for whatever that would be worth (relocation costs and what not). The Queen has the hook up on the gin...read her Twitter account and you'll understand that one. Finally, we all know that Col. Sanders is not really dead. If he can find a blend of spice that makes you crave his chicken forte nightly...he surely knows the secret to ever lasting life!

P.S. -- How do these guys not have a wikipedia page or even a crappy photo shop produced photo? How is that even possible?
