Chev Olympia's Team
Boomer and Burnout kept trying to blow apart or burn alive the man who had made fools of them. No matter how agile Volt was sooner or later one of the villains would get lucky and it would all be over for the lightning slinger. That is until Sonja's fireball hit Boomer in the back and made him grunt in pain, his durable skin protecting him from most of its effects. But her mentalist assault made the brainless brute swing his head around and glare at Burnout. Burnout was too focused on trying to murder Volt to notice, and didn't even see Boomer's fist until it was in his gut. The concussively powered blow flung Burnout across the room and into a nearby desk. The pyrokinetic slumped to the ground once again. Boomer returned to face Volt and continued firing his concussive blasts at the hero. Finally, he decided he had enough of this and his whole body glowed with an eerie yellow glow. Boomer yelled and the glow continued to grow brighter. He was gathering all of the potential explosive energy in his body and preparing to detonate it in one massive explosion. If he did so, everyone in the lobby of the bank save the demigod Olympia would perish. The heroes had only a few moments to act.
Pariah's Victims
Strix's plan had worked and the whole nest sucummbed to his surprise attack as on the streets all of the remaining terrorists fell back while sporadically firing their weapons. The area around the bus was surrounded by guards who had erected their own barricades and set up machine gun emplacements manned by terrorists. The area around the bus for a half-mile was choked with terrorists who were preparing for the heroes to assault them. The men who were retreating were a few hundred yards from this last defensive area, around two dozen men were falling back with another forty around the bus. Around sixty mortal men stood between the heroes and the civilians. Heavily armed and well-trained men but normal men nonetheless. The heroes felt their confidence raise tenfold.
Strix's search for traps would turn up nothing as the heroes all advanced deeper into the constructed streets, and at this point most of the illusionary civilians had dispersed though a few remained to cower. All seemed well. But the heroes intent on their forward charge did not notice the shimmering portals of light that suddenly appeared on the roofs and streets behind them, moving seemingly of their own accord and whenever they passed over an unconscious terrorist they vanished. And Strix still found no traps ahead of them. But then again, that may have been because the traps had been designed by Savant, or because most of the traps had been behind the heroes.
Suddenly and without warning, a series of massive detonations wracked the air, as hidden explosives activated in the buildings the heroes had just left. Whole buildings were torn down and completely collapsed into the streets, sending up massive clouds of dust in the air. The same occurred with the buildings to either side of the group of heroes.The heroes had been almost upon the bus and had almost no idea what was going on until it was too late. They realized they had been completely cut off on all sides. And suddenly where there had been nothing, a dozen new fighters had appeared near the terrorists who had been fleeing, who now turned back to face the heroes and assumed defensive positions. These terrorists were dressed in stylistic darkly colored costumes that could only be super-villain garb. More men appeared out of glowing portals at several points until there were now eighty normal terrorists with a dozen obvious superhumans. These reinforcements split themselves between joining the superhuman terrorists and their men and the men who guarded the bus.
The heroes now found themselves against a dozen experienced superhumans and with no way to maneuver or escape. Pariah's voice filtered over the intercom, "Third Lesson. If it looks to good to be true, it almost certainly is. And consequently, your evaluations by official League members are about to begin." The terrorists raised their weapons at the heroes as the villains activated weapons of other kinds. One man grew in size until he was even larger than Neutro. Another emitted icy wind while a woman next to him became wreathed in flame and another man crackled with electricity. One woman became like diamond while another turned into steel. And those were just the obvious villains. The steel man said, "Surrender. And we will simply imprison you."

You are in Grey Star.
I'm waiting to post until I get more responses to the Rainmaker mission if that's ok.
That might make an interesting take on the name Mister Crystal haha.
Those are some very cool rogues, Dr. Whitchappel would be a nice Olympia villain as well.
Sorry for the lack of a post, work is getting cluttered and I'll definitely have one by tonight.

Dblade, All of those ideas are more than fine. They actually make interesting additions to the rogues gallery I had in mind for the overall rp.
And you can go ahead Yog.

Players can iron out strategy here and/or post it IC, prior discussion may cut down on everyone not cooperating as a team by charging in headfirst by themselves. But it's really up to players.
Sep, Perhaps I was a little harsh, but largely you could react to all the events and explicit threats that I posted. Drones, Turrets, roving bands of fire teams on the streets, overwatch positions, etc etc. Retroactive involvement as it were. It's not that you did something horribad and wrong but I wish to cut down on all the players creating their own threats to deal with. We talked to Shin and Mat about this for example.
Enemies will largely be in groups of henchmen or individual bosses. I fear letting everyone create and fight individual henchmen at their own discretion will lead to perhaps problematic practices such as autohitting enemies I manage and things like that. Or it could perhaps lead to situations where such fights between your created threats and your character could lead to contradictions in the story. Like the time someone defeated a bunch of henchmen and rescued hostages that they themselves created, which went against my plans for the scene. .
Or for example, the one henchmen who took the time to monologue even though they are all described to be professional and trained. Again I'm not trying to dogpile on you or anything like that, that's just my view on things and for now I'd like for you to make a post where you react to the "grouped threats" and perhaps character reactions to the events of the story so far. Perhaps you were one of the heroes to assault the sniper's nests. Or maybe you helped destroy turrets. I see the merit of your opinion and will consider it further but for now this is my opinion about it. Thoughts?

No it's fine Dblade, even as GM I miss some things I want everyone to know that they can freely voice their concerns.
Hehe, I rub my hands in anticipation

Yog, Discuss it with the other players if you want. Team dialogue is key
And I largely agree with Dblade, the idea of creating a random superhero to disparage is fine but everything else he says is on point. I let Shin slide with that the one time, but I'd like for you to try and amend your post to reflect our concerns. I haven't unveiled Pariah's latest surprise yet after all.

Assume you were with the group since the beginning. You entered with all weapons.
