>Henchman
A practical, street-smart guy who can duplicate himself. Hires himself out to villians because he can do the work of 30 or more men with one easy paycheck. He also feels no ill-will towards heros and always just lays down after one or two punches so he can run away before the cops show up and move on to the next gig. Heros that know him will go easy on him because hey, he's just a working guy.

Maybe Veeky Forums would like to play with these guys.

The Dark Hearts. 13 assorted magic users who preserved their bodies in another dimension where time works differently to attain immortality. They interact with the rest of reality by piloting one of their many golem constructs they have scattered about. There are many different types of golems each made for different purposes (combat, stealth, casting, experimentation, etc.).
You can tell who is piloting the golem based on which mask is floating over it.

Each member pretty much has their own personal objectives ranging from learning all the magic, to making sure magic doesn't becomes a lost art, to just being an immortal dick.

Sometimes heroes fight them when they start causing trouble, sometimes they point heroes at more disruptive rivals.

They like to take a backseat role when they can to pull strings.

Recurring antagonist who is less a villain and more of a persistent mook who has a score to settle against the party for something they did to them during the early stages of their superhero career.

Every time they see him, he is augmented with new tech that increases the amount of options he has, usually as a result of dealing with the party (ex: rocket boots to deal with flying enemies or power armor to stand up to juggernauts). If they investigate, they will find out that he allied himself to a group that generally works from the shadows supplying ordinary people with gear to help them deal with superheroes who "infringe upon their rights."

However, while he is motivated by revenge, he is less a maniac and more of an asshole, so he won't cause collateral damage if he can help it (I mean, being thrown 60mph, you can only try so hard to dodge a building) and will even assist the party if the villain(s) they're fighting are threatening civilians.

Also has a generic name.

Man-Spider, the spider with the intelligence of a man. Once a regular jumping spider, he was caught in a horrific experiment involving tri-gamma radio microwaves that gave him a human mind and a genius intellect. Now he lives for world domination and delicious flies.

His chief persona however is of wealthy inventor Stephen Webb, which is actually a robotic suit which he pilots from a control room in it's head. As Webb, he bankrolls his master plan to enslave humanity to breed houseflies for his consumption. He also likes wearing dew on his head, and talks with a vocal synthesizer that makes him sound like Liam Neeson.

Subtle+Insidious+Any Power to King Crimson the hell out of your players' sanity.

People start dropping out of no where.
Knights and robo-cop were clearly always drinking buddies.
Inexplicable mass famines.
Go friggin nuts my man.

Or make the /k/ommando with Environment [Bullet Hell]

I'm actually planning a persona quest themed around Superheroes, so here's the main party. Maybe I didn't fag out completely, I dunno.

>Paragon
Think Superman, but with a good few chunks of Batman in him. Cool, stoic, and stonefaced, but he'll save you, no matter who you are, just because that's his nature. Draws his power from the trust put in him, so being a Superman actually buffs him more the more he does it. Meant to be the protagonist/PC.

>Sarah Bass/Traveler
A truely overpowered Dandere with the ability to warp space-time. Usually via changing the local gravity, but she can locally create event horizons if she needs to. Her powers get weaker the further from her you get, though, and she's kind of autistic and terrible at actual Heroing - she'll save people if she sees them in danger, and doesn't do things that will hurt large groups of people, but she's as likely to fuck off to the Moon as to save New York. She's not just autistic either - she's ADHD as well. She's the Navi in-game.

>Doctor
Traveler's main villain and the only person she actively seeks to harm. He's a crazy fucker and basically a biological tinker - he's functionally immortal, can make pills to "fix" superpowers on a moments notice, carts around a goddamn pharmacy of hypodermic fuckery, that sort of thing. Also a huge faggot who thinks any kind of independent thought or emotion is a sickness, although he's not directly malevolent: think Super!Chairman Yang.

>Coraline Duncan/Scrapangel
I envision her as Haru Okumura with her yandere tendencies magnified into a subtle neurosis and her cutsie tendencies replaced by pure dignity. She doesn't have any direct superpowers beyond stupid pain tolerance, but her wheelchair happens to turn into a suit that allows her to be the twisted offspring of Ironman, Wolverine, and the Punisher. Which is fortunate, because she's a school shooter in the making, so she needs an outlet.

[CONT.]

>Axle Drystan/Paladin
The forum I am planning on running this game on is pretty liberal. Not full Tumblr, but pretty liberal all the same. So, when I came up with Axle, I decided to test their limits, and I drew on my lolicon problems to do it. Paladin has a similar powerset to Captain America, and a similar personality, except he's straight-up a pedophile. He's NOT a child molester, but he IS a pedophile, and he fucking hates himself for it. He's got a shield which can return to him at-will, and expand into a big-ass force-field. Unfortunately, he's also a fucking wreck in his personal life, and he throws himself into Heroing because he values everyone else so much more than himself.

>Emile de Angelis//Sarranid
See, it's ironic because he's a moor. A moor with the power to... rapidly rocketjump thrice from any point on his body. Also a fuck-off good shot with the bow, which is his main weapon - my plan for his special move is for him to shoot the moon with a grappling arrow and colony drop fuckers with chunks of it. He's also Veeky Forums, appealingly brown, and because he's a muzzie he's got perma-stubble, so his chad status is locked to maximum. He's the Magician Arcana rep, so he's also got a tongue which gets him in trouble and isn't a particularly mature or smart individual - not really dumb, but definitely impulsive.

[CONT.]

>Kaitlyn Varley/Kitten
Catwoman but with the power to shadowstep about 9 meters, and as a extra sexy chocolate bombshell. Also has the ability to change her costume at will, suitable for the team traitor, Emile's bestie, and a mob princess who's read way too much Ayn Rand. So she's not your generic nigress ghetto trash; she's a closet ancap sociopath with a rapier and short-distance teleport.

>Paul Carter/Ringmaster
Think the Joker as a good-guy. Used to be a schoolyard bully, but his origin as a hero coincided with him realizing his Mother was a manipulative cunt, and he stopped bullying after Paragon turned his energy towards digging himself out from underneath her. His power is balance to an Exalted degree: He rides around on this bigass ball like a circus clown, and can keep himself and it balanced perfectly on cracks so small Ezio Auditore couldn't climb them. Otherwise, he's just a tubby big kid beating the shit out of people with juggling clubs.

Everyone has their own special rival villain (shadow), but they're not as interesting, IMO. Scrapangel has Princess, who may as well be a evil clone, Paladin fights literally Satan, because of course, Sarranid and Kitten are... definitely not fucking like they want to, and Ringmaster has Mother, who is just a emotionally manipulative cunt with the requisite superpowers to face down a late-game Persona party. So Hillary Clinton.

And Paragon is fighting Lex Luthor, because I really like stupid cool stuff like TTGL and when I had the idea of Lex stood on the roof of a skyscraper screaming "DOCTOR DOOOOOM!" as he summons his persona I couldn't /not/ do it.

A character that can covert themselves into electricity to travel, or hijack systems. the more volts their electrical form has (which they can sap from things such as batteries to add to themselves) the stronger they'll be. they lure the party into a nuclear power plant and sap ALL the power.
