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.
