I wouldn’t want to actually center a campaign playing against them, but they’re funny (and surreal) enough I’d be happy to bump heads with them on occasion. Esp. with those Combat Shouts.

As a thought, if you’ve an interest, I can recommend along this line the recent DC series _Wonder Twins,_ about the titular characters from “The Super Friends” within the DC timeline (pretty much), going to school and being apprentice heroes to the JL. It has a lot of the same kind of quirky charm, and actual drama leavened into it to have made it a fave of mine. One of their opponents was the League of Annoyance. Good stuff.

Alas, just canceled after 12; if they ever collect them, I may pick up the TPBs.

I suddenly thought I had seen an episode of _The Outer Limits_ called this. Then I found it was “[Architects of Fear](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/TheOuterLimits1963S1E3TheArchitectsOfFear),” which (a) is one of _three_ episodes of _Outer Limits_ with Robert Culp, and (b) was an inspiration for a major plot element Alan Moore used in _Watchmen_ (to the extent that he lampshades it by having the episode play on TV in one issue).

No reason for all the detail, except that I love the classic _Outer Limits._ And Robert Culp.

There’s a comixology TPB for issues 1-6. I figure if it clicks, I can pick up the rest individually.

I have the Comixology individual issues. I want a chunk of paper I can pull of the shelf (or loan to a friend). 🙂
