Description
Lanny Budds connections to power and societies elite during the onset of WWII brought information that he could no longer ignore. Hynkel knew that America could be his downfall if they joined the war effort so he had his spies and sympathizers infiltrate every level of power, influence, and government in the country. The US government never believed in a league, as they stated, "We have soldiers, not freaks." But Lanny knew it would take intelligent, special individuals to suss out these spies and Hynkels war rings here in the U.S., And after hearing a story from his father about once meeting a young british couple traveling though the states with a rather nervous, gaunt fellow in a black suit, Lanny had the idea to gather special individuals himself.

So with his connections and information gathering he assembled what he called The Midnight Society, as their work would be more covert given it would be done outside government purview.

Over the years leading up to WWII The Midnight Society abolished multiple spy rings, destroyed factories making weapons for an attack within the U.S., captured high level imposters, and destroyed a nazi submarine fleet off the California coast. The group usually worked in small groups but on occasion all did so together. After WWII the group disbanded successfully, only to reunite in the 50s to quell an invasion of body snatching aliens, who in their attack had snatched Lanny Budd himself!

(I purposefully didn't include indiana jones and doc savage because like Moore himself stated, some characters are too big and can be overpowering. Plus Doc Savage has an entire team he worked with and forcing them in too seemed futile. Beyond that, this is one of my fave groupings.)
