Badroy vs Nemo: Well when it comes to melee its very crystal clear that Nemo takes the cake with his sword. When it comes to weapons though well it's a bit tricky. Just a quick note though to the author Nemo never used a handheld harpoon gun in the comic, the one he used was a large mini artillery piece that was capable of ripping through a whole army of "muhamideen rabble" and Martian tripods. So yep, Wass and Appel's statements saying that the Nemo's harpoon gun has weaker range and accuracy since that thing is like a canon that's capable of punching through Martian tripods (which were basically tanks). Badroy's Lee Metford rifle (which was crappy and very unreliable in real life btw) cannot compare to that super harpoon canon. Don't also forget that Nemo's harpoon canon is semi automatic compared to Badroy's rifle that's bolt action.

When it comes to automatic weapons though Nemo's submachine gun is lighter but still very accurate (he basically used it to rip through M's army almost by himself) while Bardy's lewis gun is a heavy machine gun with more firepower. But one of its weakness is that real life Lewis gun where squad based weapons, and it was very difficult to use by one man (unless this is BF1). This can be seen with how Badry tended to use it through spray and pray unless he goes prone. Both guns have its own advantages and disadvantages. But Nemo takes the edge in the end because of his other superior weapons.

Edge: LXG

Mey Rin vs Quartermain: One thing I want to get out of my chest is that Allan Quatermain was basically the WORST character in LXG. He was a drug-addicted, old and stupid buffoon who stumbled his way through his missions (and luck is the only one that keeps saving him). He DID manage to take down Mr. Hyde using laudanum, but it was because of luck and a ton of plot-induced stupidity. The only thing that's Alan's good at is in marksmanship (he's capable of shooting down James Bond riding a rocket-propelled car). Though her marksmanship is just second to Allan, Rin is still by far the superior fighter since she's younger and carrying the better stripper clip-fed Lee rifle that will outgun the old hunter to pieces.

If this was Sean Connery though Quartermain would have wiped the floor, but unfortunately its the crappy comic book version.

Edge: Phantomhive

Finnian vs Hyde: Wass is wrong. There's now way Finnian would be stronger than Hyde. Even though the girl is capable of throwing slabs with ease or wrestling a gigantic demon hound dog is amazing, this is incomparable to Hyde's strength. Wass's assertion that Hyde's strength is only as strong as him ripping human beings is false. Hyde is far more than that since he's capable of punching through M's armored airship with ease (something that not even Fu Manchu's air canons could do), punch through and penetrate a Martian tripod like they it was a toy (something that not even the British artillery could penetrate, except for Nemo's harpoon gun).

That's not even yet including Hyde's speed since he's capable of blitzing through armies before they can react, and durability since this large ape's capable of getting shot in the face with a peppergun (which is more powerful than a revolver) and just brushes it off, tanks getting shot by whole armies, adn even temporarily surviving being hit with the Martian heat ray, which can blast through Victorian era buildings.

Edge: LXG

Snake vs Griffin: Funny that you didn't gave Hawley Griffin his revolver but anyways. Snake kind of takes this. His ability to control snakes has a compounding effect on Griffith's invisibility since snakes can detect him either through infrared or other extrahuman senses. I can argue that Griffin is a better fighter since the guy's virtually a mass murdering psychopath, but without his invisibility which he largely depends on, and also the fact that he's a traitorous SOB, Snake definitely is the better combatant and teammate.

Edge: Phantomhive

Winner: LXG. I've read the manga of Black Butler and all the issues of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and in the end I just don't see the Phantomhive winning this. Well to be honest, I was going to side with Wassboss's point that the Phantomhive members would probably win due to their better teamwork and loyalty with each other. They are more experienced working as a team and perfroming plans than the more individualistic members of the LXG. Hell the LXG's various conflicts in Volume 2 basically destroyed the team.

HOWEVER, I will make an argument that some of LXG members with their weapons and powers makes them borderline superhumans, and I doubt that the Phantomhive members have anything to counter some the LXG members. Nemo's weapons and Griffin's stealth allows them to take out some of the members of the Phantomhive. But what really takes the cake here is Hyde who can basically solo the whole battle and still win. None of the Phantomhive members weapons like the rifles and machine guns are gonna do nothing against Hyde. Finnian's strength would do little and Snake's...err... snakes will be utterly useless (unless Phantomhive can trick Hyde into drinking laudanum). Hyde is basically like the Hulk, and once he blitzes the Pahntomhive team at the start of thebattle then he almost takes it out immediately, and leave some of the still breathing ones to the rest of the LXG team.
