Of course if it came down to actual numbers the Squad would have the edge but I'm imagining that Ms. Metrobay and Alpha Woman are counselling a '"hands off" approach since it wouldn't do them any good to be shown picking fights with other superheroines.
Of course with the big media splash this is going to cause the Squad had best stay vigilant as it'd be only natural for members to switch sides...whether of their own will or not. All it would take is a few of the more powerful members such as Omega Woman or Valient Grrl to agree to join the Alliance for the Squad to face a serious lack of power as well as credibility issues.
Interesting though that Max never came up with the idea of his own team before, especially since he had at least 2 other heroines "on ice". Perhaps he was waiting for Pink Pussycat...if that's the case, the Action Cats need to be wary as well.
And of course the fall of Azure Avenger only proves that ANYONE in Metrobay is vulnerable, even the big hitters.
I'm afraid that I'm woefully uneducated in Valiant Woman's mythology...is Maven the real name of Valiant Girl or is that Hot Cocoa (whom I'm assuming will garner a great deal of attention from Brown Sugar...can ya dig it? )?
And, of course...Patriot Princess. Since she's already a parody of Wonder Woman I suppose it was only natural for her to sink even lower. I find her transformation a bit crude for my tastes, but then vive la différence, eh?
On the opposite end I find myself fascinated with Lady Payback. I'm wondering if she'll continue to use lethal force as part of the Alliance or if she'll modify her weaponry in public to suit Max's more 'genteel' image that he wants for the ladies.
VERY interesting so far. Kudoes, Trishbot. I will be sure to keep track of how this plot develops.

Yeah, that's along the lines of what I'm hoping for. Government controlled supers.
Sumatra wrote:Positives were interesting technology. Problem with it was it's too powerful, doubled as a negative for me. Why would Max waste two of these things on a rival and her assistant when he's failed so many times with Ms. Metrobay? Think a member of the squad would have been a higher priority for this.
Another positive, interaction between Andrea and Nicole. Also Andrea's conversion was done well.
Negatives were the storytelling. Andrea was ultimately a plot device to introduce "new" heroine Onyx.
Again. Why would Max go to this much trouble with this OP technology just for a rival, while the mayor functions for months or years now wearing a greentooth earpiece? They first thought Andrea and Nicole were both civvies, so why not just greentooth them? It's hidden. Tried and true. If that fails just put a ring on her like Love and Obey.
Max with his own superheroine force was too far fetched. He gets hounded by the squad every arc, why draw more attention? He should have used Andrea to set a deeper cover story and run her business quiet from the inside. As it is, it makes the squad look dumb as hell, no offense.

Comeback and revisit them after you see how the dynamics work out in future story arcs. This was the introduction to the idea.
