(I only own the characters that are in the Public Domain)

In 2002, after the invasion of Q'Amar began, the US Government formed another League to take care of covert operations in the terrorist ruled country.

The first member for this was an elderly former Sherman Tank commander named Oddball, who helped the United Nations League in WWII and was also the first beatnik.

The second a reformed demon named Anung un Rama better known as Hellboy, who is a member of the BPRD (Bureau of Paranormal research and Investigation).

The third was the extremely long lived first member of the BPRD known as The-Amazing-Screw-on-Head, whose head could be unscrewed and attached to numerous robot bodies.

The fourth a creature from another universe called Jack Horner, who for an as of yet unknown reason is immortal.

And finally the archeologist Lara croft, who despite rumors to the contrary is not sexually promiscuous.

This group was sent into Q'Amar to handle covert operations, (as mentioned above) however even when the invasion was declared a failure they were still there, in fact they're still there today.
