I think I'm on to something.

 Society of Wireless Heroes (Earth-Goon) (CREATED BY:
                    dvan... at magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu)
    Due to Per Annum's manipulation of the time stream, an alternate
reality
  emerged where the SWH was the premier (in fact only) net.hero group
in the
  world.  Based on characters from the radio show, The Goon Show.
Members
  include:
    Atom Jim - Master of catchphrases
    Black Minnie - Sinful gyrations and designated hostage
    Blue Bottle - And he shall share his jolly mixtures with naughty
evil....
    Dustbinman - DustGun, general stupidity, connections
    Fortnightman - Ability to hide from his own side for 2 weeks at a
time
    Max Mercuray - Half man, half harmonica...fastest bandleader in
the world
    Mr. Macro - World's fastest (and largest) reader of prepared
statements
    Neddie Thunderbox - Controller of the magic Thunderbox
    WildCrun - More sinful gyrations and modern-type melodies, buddy!

As at least one member of the SWH is magic based, maybe you can just
get Dave's permission to use them as a group.
