I'm really interested to see what direction things go since this is really early on in the cruel network timeline. Based on rolls we might end up with an entirely different landscape to deal with

Honestly with how wacky and plentiful the number of villains running about, that would not surprise me, personally i am hoping for things from the multitudes of alternate realities/ outer space to begin converging in some way, loads of those that are still out in space and could get stuck on earth by the Moltar Array.

There is a fair deal of space material out there. The hard part is getting around the Moltar Array. It isn't impossible, but it is a hurdle. Not even Moltar is immune to it. I reckon he's been operating his broadcast equipment on the Ghost Planet remotely.

Ice King is... probably around up north. Space seems kinda fucky according to the doc blurb so he might have most of the AT world, or atleast it's worse elements, froze in his realm.
The Lich is an exception but really I'm hoping that if we even hear of the Last Scholar of GOLB existing or gods forbid moving it's not for quite a while. Dudes like Grandfather but Extra spicy.

Yeah, Lich can stay in his little kingdom of radiation over in Europe, we got enough Problems with Anti-Pops and the Gems.
Edit: and maybe Argost if he sends out some monsters to retake the world from humanity

Unless we wre speficially targeting them for being Monsters I doubt most would care.
As for recruitable monster Hunters. Hoss Delgado is the only one that springs to my mind immediatly. Secret Saturdays likely has a few though.
For as absurd as CN shows are, they don't have a lot of General Monster Hunters. Normally they specialize in a specific type of monster (Aliens, EVOs, Ties...)

If Ice King is around then we could possibly see an appearance from one of Ooo's monster hunters, they've got a selection iirc.

The lack of general "monster hunters" would be due to the fact these shows often pick one to make the show about and sticks to them. Give it a bit more time, though, and the crossover may encourage some groups to expand their portfolios.

@HellaCooltricks, what's your opinion on Scooby Doo being a part of this setting? I know that it's in the air whether it's Saturday mourning or cruel network, but due to the OK KO ghoul school backstory for Enid I think there's enough to include some of it

Hm, gonna try to make a list with a dab of general information based off TV Tropes Hunter Of Monsters, Creature Hunter Organization, and Hunter Of His Own Kinds:
Hoss Delago (Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy)- notably actually an idiot. Or a genius depending on your belief of if Lawyers are human or not. He falls into the later group and has murderer them before supposedly.
Joe (Frankenhole)- supposedly adult swim. A drunken red neck that hunts vampires but us racist against most supernatural things, again supposedly.
Jefferson Twilight (Venture bros)- fucking hell this dude seems...like a character just based off his little blurb. Im fairly sure we have folks that have watch Venture Bros here, is he as rough as the impression I'm getting here?
Rex and Providence (Generator Rex)- I doubt we'll be able to grab any of them, but they are cool.
Boo Brothers (Scooby Doo)- if Scooby doo is around than maybe these guys?
And that's about all I can see at a quick glance.

Not a monster hunter, but a Merc/Bounty Hunter available for hire - Tetrax Shard, the Petrosapien (Ben 10 - Diamondhead) hunter who eventually turns to good. Has experience with all variety of aliens and is a cunning strategist; could be worth hiring outright, alien and monster hunting is bound to have some overlap.

Nah he's petty alright, works with Dr. Orpheus a fair bit, he's mostly a Blade reference as well as a whole reference to Blaxploitation genre, other chracters have brought up the name you are talking about in show.
We might also have a pretty decent chance of recruiting Hoppus from Mighty Magisword given they're a gruff mercenary rabbit that loves vegetables... and Father has a broccoli garden.
Besides the fact that he's good enough to wander most dangerous places by his lonesome and is hired to be a messenger when he's not hunting down vegetable themed Magiswords, Hoppus is a pragmatic mercenary for those who pay well enough so Father who has both money and veggies would actually be a pretty good anchoring point for the guy if he does ever show up.

Ican think of three, maybe 5 ways to getting to space without a need for a space ship, but they are all overly complicated.
1. We could look for Lion (Steven Universe), the problem is finding it, convince it to work for us, and then to open portals outside the planer, specially because he behaves like and oversizedtdangerous cat, and even in canon convinzing him to do something is hard.
2. This is more complicated or simple, depending of the problems we could find in gem terrirtory, we need to find either Steven universe, Spit, or tears of steven; or Rose Quartz fountain, and hope that it contains water, then we found a dead body of someone we hope could be loyal to us, and then wait for that person to learn how to open portals (although i think there is a rule about ressurection, so this rute is more complicated)
3. Be go to mexico border, in the niza river and steal the grim reaper oz, so father can open portals to space..... (this is kamikaze route, lol)
4. I think one of the Gems portals go to space, so if we can launch a bunch of occult and learning heroes to hijack the system , there is a chance to teleport to space.....or die trying.
5. We could get a bunch of Learning heroes to make a Teleporting machine or teleporting portals to go to space, but i bet the dc would be insanely high if this option become avalaible, at any poin in the future.
Joke: There is a bunch of wish granting stuff in CN, but as far i remember almost all of them act as a monkey paw wishes. But if we want father for YOLO, we could go that route lol.
pd. We go Leroy jenkins on Moltar territory, but that could get father and co killed soo....

Like with DVV, we've got a couple of flags and symbols for CN. Here's a simple one I cooked up for the Gem Homeworld colony on Earth.

That it did - it went over to Disney and Kids WB after I think, but don't quote me... which now makes me aware, we could see Xiaolin Showdown and Jackie Chan Adventures crossover.
Update: It started on Kids WB, and was later given a timeslot on Disney's Jetix and Cartoon Network. So that leaves it in a grayish area that only the QM could realistically determine, I imagine.

So did Jasper choose to not be in the flag or is it that everyone thinks Peridot is the sole leader?Like with DVV, we've got a couple of flags and symbols for CN. Here's a simple one I cooked up for the Gem Homeworld colony on Earth.
Turn 1: RIVAL REPORT
Black Hat Organization
[X] Expand Overseas
-[X] British Isles
News from home wasn't good today. It appears that multiple costly military endeavors in Europe and a struggling economy has led to the government being overturned. Surprisingly, it wasn't by revolution or by an enemy nation, but rather by a company offering to make all of their troubles go away if they accepted being bought out. So now, in the past few months, the people of the British Isles were treated to the sight of a large, menacing, black and red top hat adorning the tip of Big Ben.
Pictures of the place are scarce, but the ominous smog stacks and growing sense of desolation on people's faces reminds you of your youth. You hate it.
Endsville Energy Solutions
[X] Breach into New Underworlds
While the existence of the Underworld as a thing in itself is shocking news, the fact that there is more than one is icing on a very upsetting cake. But not many are sure of what to make of the CEO's decision to expand into even more final resting places. While Mandy has, as politely as she can, explained the benefits of opening new underworlds for both the economy and the public at large, her expeditions have continued to both break headlines and be tediously slow.
[X] Lobby for Daemonic Being Rights
It seemed grossly out of character for the intimidating girl known as Mandy to be a champion of anything but herself. However, members of congress have found themselves under increasing pressure to draft new measures protecting the rights of Daemonic beings born within (or under) the United States. These "Underworldians", as Mandy calls them, could provide unique advantages and opportunities to the struggling nation.
Gem Homeworld Colony
[X] Attack Niagara Falls
The Gem army's unstoppable sweep through North America has come to a grinding halt, as the United States military begins to draw on more and more resources. In the forests of Canada, tank squadrons are engaging gems en-masse, and are doing better than you'd expect tanks would in forests. Recent fighting has focused most on the area surrounding Niagara Falls. If the defensive line breaks, then there would be nothing left to stop the Gems from reaching U.S. soil.
[X] Besiege Toronto
For months now, Peridot's soldiers have encircled the city of Toronto, one of the few in Eastern Canada not to submit to Gem rule. The siege is reportedly not going well, as smugglers have managed to find ways around the blockade and give the survivors essential supplies. Food, water, clothes, and medicine needs are all being met. The force field generator donated by Dr. Joseph Chadwick has done wonders to spare the citizens of Toronto from the worst of the war.
The siege remains at a standstill. Either the Gems take the force field down, or they leave.

The Guild of Calamitous Intent
[X] Crush Opposing Villain Organizations
Under the command of The Monarch, the Guild has stopped playing softball with numerous Villains Organizations. This crusade started with the Perilous Partnership, as The Monarch recently confirmed the upper echelons of its membership were found dead. One in particular, Blind Rage, was found tied to a railway, completely bisected.
[X] DESTROY THE LEGACY OF DR. VENTURE
The Monarch has continued to rage against his arch nemesis, Dr. Thaddeus Venture, attempting to sully his name in the public spotlight. You didn't know who Venture was until after the Monarch very loudly broadcasted his name and history to the entire planet, so his plot more or less backfired. More people might know about Venture now than they ever did.
Due to a misunderstanding, a few of the Monarch's henchmen assaulted a Katz Venture hotel. Said minions were returned to the Monarch pinned to a cork board.
[X] Negotiate With East Coast Members
One of the most important centers of Guild Activity, New York, has been forced to contend with the rise of Paradigm City as a rival power in the region. Discussion on the possibility of either relocating or expanding into it has come onto the table, as well as the elusive arching rights to Alex Rosewater.
Katz Ventures
[X] Open New Cruise Line
Newest in a line of luxury goods and services from Katz Ventures comes a voyage on the bottom of the sea in his new vacation cruise lines. The first voyage will follow Captain Katz himself, on his very own SUB-Mitt. One can see the secrets of the ocean's depths, scuba on the seafloor and more while being waited on by the finest crew and chefs this side of the surface layer.
[X] Sponsor New Foodline
As part of a new commercial enterprise, Nowhere Foods ltd. has begun producing a variety of delicious dishes. Flantasy Flan, Cajun Cookin' Insta-bakes and Happy Plum Pies are all hitting the shelves later this fall, and the recent reviews have been overwhelmingly positive. Nevermind how they're making all this stuff in the middle of nowhere…
Mandark Co.
[X] Build a Bigger Giant Robot
You aren't sure how or why, but Mandark has announced to the public that he's building a giant robot significantly bigger and more powerful than your own. You've seen what little of the specs have been released, and you can't argue with them. It's better than yours. The official reason for him making it is to scare off kaiju, same as yours, but in the back of your mind, you can't help but feel like you're being slighted.
Is it a coincidence? Maybe. Is it annoying? You bet it is.
Scam Co
[X] Market Aggressively
-[X] Everything
For the next two months, the television is flooded with Scam Co ads that are impossible to ignore. Did you know Scam Co makes affordable (read: cardboard) housing? Now you do. You can't escape them by turning off the TV, as Scam Co also bought ad space in the papers, on the computer, billboards, and even the sides of blimps!
It's attention-grabbing with zero shame. It's such a shame then that Scam Co's marketing blitz is also working. You don't need cardboard, but a few of their other products caught your eye.

After another successful round of Total-Drama knockoffs being produced, alongside the recent completion of his Total-Drama-Dome, Chris McLean is bigger than ever, and skyrocketing in the ratings. It seems like everything he touches turns to gold, and so, he has decided to try and spread outside of his usual genre. Children's programming, cooking shows, and full-on film productions are rumored to be in the works, and he already has a line of star-struck nobodies, waiting for their chance to be famous.
