** It is quite possible the SCP Foundation serves as TheManBehindTheMan for a number of organizations dedicated to combatting various anomalous threats. Perhaps groups like [[Film/CabinInTheWoods the Organization]], Series/Warehouse13, [[Film/MenInBlack the Men in Black]] and [[Blog/ObserveAndTerminate the Paranormal Termination Consortium]] could all be Foundation operations. And luckily they do have support from other groups such as [[VideoGame/{{Control}} the Federal Bureau of Control]], [[VideoGame/XCom XCOM]], [[ComicBook/{{BPRD}} the BPRD]], [[Literature/TheLaundryFiles the SOE Q Division]] and many other groups. All of these organizations have kept a lid on things well enough they've only had to activate the Ganymede Protocol or use SCP 2000 on [DATA EXPUNGED] occasions.

* '''The Shiroganes''' while not as know as the others, are worth mentioning.

* A man claiming to be [[Manga/LupinTheThird Arsene Lupin's grandson]] began his career in the 1960s, making near-impossible heists while humiliating or killing anyone who got in his way. Aided by a sharpshooting bodyguard, a samurai assassin, and a female thief who all tried to kill him at several points, they began traveling the world, stealing from governments and other super-criminals. Noted MI5 agent Jimmy Bond had been left at the government organization's steps hogtied and naked after an unsuccessful assassination attempt. League member Orlando slept with "Lupin the Third" while female and remarked that the man had experience. However, it was reported that this man was a serial rapist who left several bastard children in his wake, including [[Literature/AriaTheScarletAmmo a young female assassin attending Butei High]].

[[WMG: In-Universe, Raoul Silva *was* the adopted son of M (Emma Peel) *and* Pierce Brosnan Bond. The one we see in the MI6 Headquarters is a clone for propaganda purposes.]]
Basically combining a very popular fan-theory, a less popular one and the idea that the League'verse encompasses all media, including fanfiction. Fans have been speculating about the fact that Raoul was the adopted son of M ever since the release of Skyfall (and the many suggestions that movie provides). Considering the fact that we know that Bond has gone on all his on-screen adventures in-universe (due to their appearance, as well as many smaller hints) it could be that this particular theory was, in fact, canon. Emma - then the head of the MI6 branch in South Asia - decided to cut her losses after seeing that apparently, all Bonds eventually became like the one she knew back during the 1950s (a violent, womanizing, loose canon). Even despite her feelings towards him, she argued it was easier to do so, leaving him in the capture of the Chinese who drove him insane through torture before he escaped somewhere around the 2010s. In order to keep the propaganda myth alive (and conceal her own mistakes) she created a fake narrative with a fictional agent of the Crown called Raoul Silva while also using either cloning technology or androids to create a fake Brosnan Bond to show off to the public.
As for why Daniel Craig Bond has the actual name of Bond (and it is not a pseudonym) - he is directly descended from Campion Bond through family line shenanigans. This is also why MI6 decided to restart the 007 program after having such a large rate of failure (two of the 7 Bonds had been captured by enemy states, one became a double agent and one went rogue cutting of ties from the MI6).

Mina or someone of the appropriate age will note that they're, for the most part, worthy successors, but still think they're taking the whole thing a bit far.
