Hypothetical question

Suppose DC comics decided to have more "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" written (by Allan Moore if you prefer, this is hypothetical after all), what characters would you want to see introduced? As members or foes? Reasoning?

I'd like to see as members:
 * Eric (aka the phantom) from Phantom of the Opera (not the musical version, the original version described in the book)
 * Reasoning: He supposedly signaled he had died of a broken heart by sending some items to The Persian, but since he would have to be alive to send them, he could have mistakenly believed he was dying, but then recovered after sending the Persian the items. Besides, he's much cooler in the book than in the films, and knows a lot of tricks he could use to aid the league such as Ventriloquism (he used it to make Carlotta sound like she was croaking), his lasso, and he's an illusionist and magician (he learned how to do both while being a sideshow freak in a circus), architecture (he especially is known for adding a lot of trap doors and secret rooms). He also was an assassin for the Shah of Persia for many years, and claims he learned to breathe underwater using a reed. Seriously, he can do almost anything.
 * Alice from Alice in Wonderland
 * Reasoning: After having grown up (but not with the cliché "she got put in an asylum" or "She believes it never happened" things going on). She learned how to use looking glasses to spy on people (by hiding on the other side, and using the Looking Glass world to travel from mirror to mirror) so since they no longer have an invisible man to use for espionage as needed.
 * Frankenstein's monster (maybe)
 * Reasoning: His creator is dead, he's alone, and has nowhere else to go. The League captures him, but ends up letting him go in return for his services.
 * Why Maybe: Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde kind of already fits this role

I'd like to see as foes:
 * Something from the Chtulhu mythos (maybe)
 * Reasoning: They worked Martians into LoEG, Eldritch Abominations might be possible)
 * Why Maybe: I haven't read H.P. Lovecraft's stuff (yet) but it seems like these are nearly immortal beings. One of these guys could be too much for the very mortal main characters. Even the Martians were still mortal.
 * The Duchess from Alice in Wonderland
 * Reasoning: If you read the book, the Queen of Hearts was never actually evil, and never actually executed anyone (because the king pardoned everyone). This woman, however, beat her own baby, who-when Alice tried to help him escape-turned into a pig. I have my own little theory that The Duchess is the reason why there are talking animals in wonderland, because she turns children into animals.

Your turn. Who would you guys want to see in there?
