Oh, hey, what about "Ms. Tesla" (following Hans's understated use of "Ms." in his suggestions, which I only just recognized the value of)? Pronounced very deliberately "MiZZZZ Tesla! Not Miss, not Missus, MIZZ!"
And "Brutally murder an innocent bystander" has to be replaced with "Brutally murder Ms. Tesla's philandering ex-husband, Mayor Weakley."
Situation-wise, I'm figuring that we can have the villains holding hostages in City Hall, to underline their larger threat of having a huge Necro-Bomb ready to bathe the entirety of Milennium City in deadly Zombie-Radiation. MV and QL are sent in, in disguise, to deliver the ransom and (one hopes) to free the hostages and save the day.
So far I'm coveting the current conflicts:
Major Victory:
Convert a villain to the cause of righteousness
Show that only a man can do a man's job.
Defeat all villains in combat
Madame Tesla:
Brutally murder philandering ex-husband, Mayor Weakley
Convince Quantum Lass to help the villains escape
Get away with the ransom money
Iron Brain:
Humiliate Major Victory
Make people fear you just as much as they did when you had a body
Detonate the Necro-Bomb
Quantum Lass:
Madame Tesla shows tenderness
Major Victory needs Quantum Lass's help
Get the Necro-Bomb to minimum safe distance
[/list]
That's generally (1) an attempt to sway someone else's emotions/reputation (2) an attempt to establish something about yourself and (3) an attempt to manipulate "the plot." Which of these look like winners, which need something else?

Ahey, :)
For that 80's kind of feel:
Tesla Girl
(Why, yes, I am a child of the eighties, why do you ask?)
Cheers,

Okay, I've put a draft up for
review
. So, thanks everyone! Great feedback here, and I'm getting quite stoked to start running the new and improved Capes demo.
