the league of extraordinary gentlemen(audio drama/comic adaptation)

Project Overview

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is a comic book series written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Kevin O'Neill, The story takes place in a fictional world where all of the characters and events from Victorian literature (and possibly the entirety of fiction) coexist.

The Victorian Era draws to a close and the twentieth century approaches. It is a time of great change and an age of stagnation, a period of chaste order and ignoble chaos. It is an era in need of champions.

In this amazingly imaginative tale, literary figures from throughout time and various bodies of work are brought together to face any and all threats to Britain. Allan Quatermain, Mina Murray, Captain Nemo, Dr. Henry Jekyll and Edward Hyde and Hawley Griffin ( the Invisible Man) form a remarkable legion of intellectual aptitude and physical prowess: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Dr.Henry Jekyll

Unpaid
Role assigned to: jconstantine

Jekyll is shown to be a very nervous man. He was noted as having been the type of person to pick at his food and constantly sweat. He tries his best to be civil, having refused to create a distraction at Limehouse by fighting the Chinese henchmen working there. According to Hyde, Jekyll has increasingly become a shell of his former self. It is implied by Hyde that Jekyll (and possibly Hyde by extension) is gay, which his Victorian shame over his sexuality served as the impetus for his attempt to "purge himself of the evil inside him."

  • "..Edward Hyde, alone, in the ranks of mankind, was pure evil.

    - Dr. Henry Jekyll, 1886"

  • "I hadn't thought about him. To be honest, I've more pressing worries of my own... the thing is, I don't trust me with myself."

He is evil, confident, strong and shows absolutely no fear in whatever sin he is committing.violent misanthrope, but very cunning all the same.While he seems perpetually on the edge of violence and in battle conducts himself in the manner of a savage, his self-control is actually quite profound.He can shift from homicidal psychopath to an erudite, cultured demeanor in a heartbeat.

  • "A CURE!. You’ll cure me, will you, like a wart on Jeckyl’s arse!? Why, you self-important little Shit!Unfasten these confounded straps. I’ll snap your neck in two !”"

  • "I can kill the little bastards as quick as they come at me....
