ChevI might go with the bruiser since we actually have a dearth of muscle in my opinion but it's ultimately up to you.
And I'm going to get off my lazy ass and start updating the codex with a bunch of various background information. I'm not an expert on geopolitics or the supernatural so if anyone has any input feel free to share your thoughts and expertise.

Aliens? There are no such thing as Aliens..... yet.
I like Natsumi, we'll fight arcane enemies eventually and I have some interesting plots in mind for her.
But seeing as we seem to have lost some people, I'm allowing everyone to make a second character in conjunction with the first.

Vita, well there should be a million ways someone with Blast Girl's powers could do to neutralize Shade. And yes you're one of two people currently doing anything right now.
Poly, Ikr? :P
Dblade, Yeah I realized that a little bit ago. I'll amend that in a little bit.

Blast Girl's move worked and Twister was yanked forward toward's the heroine's fist. The tentacled villain knew what came next and gritted his teeth as he was hit full in the face by Blast Girl's gauntlet. The villain was knocked back on his feet until his tentacle pulled him taut against Blast Girl and he was down for the count. Meanwhile, Locust continued to screech and slash at Gabriel with an animal blood lust. Suddenly Blast Girl felt a hand slip around her waist and an invisible pressure clench against her neck. A voice whispered to her, "You're getting me out of here Hero, otherwise they'll have to mop your blood off the floor after I open an artery."
Olympia's Team
Olympia twisted to the side to dodge Volt's lightning bolt and arched her eyebrow at the hero but she followed Volt to the door and kicked it open. The pair ran up the stairs and found Bouncer slamming her body against a heavy door again and again, Shank groaning next to her while propped up against a wall. The previously cold and collected Bouncer now looked quite flustered as she struggled to ignore Sonja's mental message. She turned back to face the pair of heroes and Olympia raised her sword, "Stop right there Bouncer. There's no escape."
Bouncer let her hands fall to the side and she seemed to lose all will to fight. She didn't say anything as she slowly raised her hands. Until suddenly her eyes widened and she screamed in pain and fell to the floor. Olympia rushed forward to her before she stopped short at the sight of Bouncer's eyes now glowing red. Bouncer spoke but in a voice that was distinctly male with a slight rasp. The voice even reached across to Sonja through her mental link and projected itself into her mind, "Heroes. You may have won this day with your new League of self-declared protectors. But you have not won the war. For make no mistake, you and all your self-righteous cohorts are at war. You are at war with us. The ones who will rid the world of your kind. All of our enemies will fall before our might. It is inevitable."
Shank opened his eyes and they were the same deep shade of red as Bouncers. He stood and the two raised their hands at Olympia and Volt. Olympia slid in front of Volt with her shield raised as the villains fired twin beams of red energy at them. The beams struck the shield and Olympia gritted her teeth as she blocked them. The beams stopped and Olympia lowered her shield as Shank touched Bouncer's arm and the two popped out of the Bank, Olympia stowed her shield and said, "Well, you don't see that everyday."
Olympia strode forward and started kicking in each door, her demigod strength opening each one. She found several hostages huddled in different rooms as Sonata radioed that they had found another group inside the vault. Olympia kicked in the last door and grimaced. She gestured at Volt and strode inside. Inside was one man who was barely alive. The remains of his formerly well-tailored suit had been burnt to a crisp along with much of his torso. The rest of his body was a ruin of cuts and bruises, obviously the work of Shank and Bouncer. On the wall behind him one word had been burned clearly into the wall. It read, Legion.
Olympia stood next to the man and said, "I think I recognize him. Money man for the Outfit here in Chicago. Damn, let's get him out of here. Zenith is not going to like this." She touched her commlink and said over the line, "Let's get the rest of the villains wrapped up for the boys in blue and let's head back to the Hall. Pariah is going to have a field day." Olympia gently picked up the man and carried him out the door, her mind racing as the implications of what just occurred.
Pariah's victims
The heroes all confirmed Strix's orders and they sprung into action. Redeye began firing her lasers to melt weapons or throw henchmen back with low-level bursts. Bullseye fired arrows with multiple special properties, some stunning with electricity, others exploding with concussive force, and one that exploded into a large ball of foam that covered the flamethrower and temporarily extinguished her flames. Ember, the pyrokinetic would overcome the fire-retardant foam in quick order but the heroes had a few moments to take advantage of her temporary weakness.
Magnetar raised his hands and the steel villain was picked up off his feet, Magnetar flung him around and at the lightning controller. Several lightning strikes were absorbed into the man of steel which saved a few heroes from being shocked into unconsciousness though one hero had already been brought down by foam bullets and another by flung debris. Shocker planted his feet and suddenly Chrome stopped flying around the air, surrounded by a flickering sphere of electricity. Shocker's minor electromagnetic control began struggling against Magnetar's power. Suddenly the struggle ceased as Chrome reverted to organic flesh and he hit the ground. Shocker flung a bolt at Magnetar which he barely dodged and pinned the hero down, not allowing him to regain his concentration as Chrome turned back to steel and he locked eyes with Strix and started sprinting to Strix's position, intent on taking out the enemy leader.
Bulwark, the man holding the hammer and Adamant the diamond woman worked their way into the main group and closed to hand-to-hand range, aiming to knock out their opposition. Rolling Girl had managed to stun Aquamarine with her assault and knocked down rows of henchmen but the hydrokinetic sent out a stream of water in front of the speedster with the intent of causing Rolling Girl to lose control and slam into the wall of a building. Morph advanced on Aquamarine and the hydrokinetic's water attacks only seemed to increase Morph's size but suddenly the blob's movement was stopped as Frost began freezing his body, and the amorphous hero had only moments before he was fully encased. Suddenly Plasmus fired a stream of blue energy at Frost. Frost erected an ice sphere around him but it was melted by Plasmus's attack. Plasmus fired another blast which knocked Frost to the ground. Morph slithered out of his icy trap and fired a blob of goo at Aquamarine which stuck her to a wall and nearly unable to move. Phantasm the invisible man was still unaccounted for.
Apogee flew forward at Colossus and dodged a giant fist and punched him in the gut. The giant only staggered a little but it allowed Apogee a second to use her freeze-breath on Extrusion whose elastic form became more rigid as he struggled to reform himself. Colossus increased his size even more and lashed out catching Apogee in the back and eliciting a grunt of pain as the two began a titanic clash. They were equal in strength but Apogee was much faster and landed several hits on Colossus, who began to falter. Until Apogee's movement was arrested by the telekinetic Sentinel who held the struggling heroine in place as Colossus swung her into the ground with a massive fist. Colossus turned his attention back to guarding his position but he was obviously in pain. Apogee struggled to get out of a crater in the ground as Sentinel raised a car above her and was about to fling it downward into her. The attack was faltering and quick coordination between the heroes was needed.

I'd say every scenario save the training one is a few posts from completion.

Uh yes Dblade is right this is a training simulation and there are ways to neutralize the opposition without using lethal force.
And no the villain creating energy shields isn't using life force but concentrated energy that she can manipulate to create lots of geometric shapes with multiple properties like being sound-baffling or air-tight or resistant to kinetic force. Her power is different from Aurora who creates entire constructs from her imagination that work like their real-life counterparts. Kind of like Susan Storm to Green Lantern.

Well Strix has assumed a leadership position and you could give orders to some of the NPCs to coordinate with the PCs. Here's a list of some of the notable NPCs I envisioned for this simulation on the training side.More details on these guys later but the very rough basics are this,
Apogee: Zenith's cousin with the same powerset and unlimited enthusiasm. Basically our Supergirl
Redeye: Female version of Cyclops
Magnetar: Good-guy Magneto
Morph: Slime-based amorphous blob hero
Plasmus: Plasma-slinging energy blaster.
Bullseye: Female Green Arrow
Commanding these guys along with coordinating with the other PCs should give you somewhere to start since you know the basic capabilities of the opposition.

Gabriel's blinding light elicited screams of pain from all of the villains and civilians in the area, though Locust's scream was more of a cacophonic shriek than anything. Twister had still been shaking off the effects when he felt his hostage escape his grasp and was shoved back by a hearty punch. He was similarly disadvantaged when Blast Girl struck him in the chin and then the gut. The villain slumped to the ground and barely blocked one of Blast Girl's hits with a tentacle before he was punched again. He was on his last legs when he managed to grab one of Blast Girl's wrists and wrenched it to the side aiming to slam her into a wall. He followed it up with a wild lunge with another tentacle to try and pin her to the wall. The villain was groaning and barely able to stand but still had fight in him.
Gabriel's assault wreaked havoc on the henchmen who were caught entirely off-guard men were thrown aside or knocked out by the hero and civilians ran off to escape the fighting. Locust recovered and roared before he went for Gabriel, his insectoid mandibles clacking as his claws slashed down at the angel-like hero, attempting to slash his shoulder while another swiped at Gabriel's abdomen in an effort to almost eviscerate the hero. Locust's multiple black eyes seemed to glean as he pressed forward his brutal assault.
Olympia's Team
Sonata had fallen back to attend to Graviton who stirred weakly on the floor leaving Olympia to handle the henchmen, the demigod whirling about in a furious frenzy sending henchmen flying into walls or to the ground. Boomer kept building energy in his attempt to blow up the whole building. He roared in rage as he kept getting brighter and brighter. Right as he reached the critical point he cackled in delight and prepared to destroy everything in sight. Until Volt's bolt hit him right in the chest and the surge of energy locked up his muscles. Boomer could not release the energy but neither was he able to stop it. The energy exploded inside the villain with massive force, Boomer's physiology had made him adapted to his own explosive energy but the force of the blast within his own body combined with the electrical strike knocked him into oblivion as the yellow energy pulsed brightly and suddenly abated and with it Boomer's consciousness. The man fell over onto the floor and the bank was saved.
Olympia kicked the last henchmen into a wall as Sonata helped Graviton onto his feet. The demigod smiled and sheathed her blade, "Good work everyone. We saved the hostages and knocked out the villains in a quick and decisive manner with minimal collateral damage. I'd say this had been a pretty successful first mission for all of you. Round up the villains and let's call it a day." Sarin was still trapped in the vacuum cleaner and most of the villains were out for the count, but suddenly Bouncer sprang up on her feet and front-flipped over the floor and landed nimbly next to Shank. She scooped him up in her arms and jumped over a desk. She leaped all the way to the bottom of the stairs and nimbly dodged a sonic strike from Sonata and Olympia's attempt to grab her. The villain started running up the stairs in a bid to escape.
Pariah's victims
The steel man shook his head, "A pity your arrogance has doomed you and your compatriots to defeat. Very well," He gestured to his fellow villains and their henchmen, "Take them." The henchmen raised their weapons and started firing. The lightning-slinger, flamethrower, and ice-shooter started flinging their signature attacks along with a water-blaster who suddenly manifested great gushing streams of water. A man raised his hands and several chunks of debris lifted from the ground and flew forward. The giant remained in front of the bus as a fifteen-foot tall sentinel. Another man stretched and elongated himself into impossible lengths and formed a human net behind the giant.One woman behind them encircled herself in a glowing sphere and pointed her hand at the bus which was suddenly surrounded by a similarly glowing azure sphere. One of the villains simply disappeared, no doubt the one responsible for hiding the villains until now. The steel villain rushed forward at the heroes along with the diamond woman who changed her arms into long spears and a man who charged next to them with a large hammer. Up until now the trainees had been fighting robots and regular henchmen, no more. Now they faced a real challenge.
