Solace Anti-Cape Politician
An elected official running on cape restriction who weaponizes collateral damage and bureaucratic machinery—subpoenas teammates, pushes registration bills, stages press conferences...
An elected official running on restricting young capes. Not a villain — has constituents genuinely afraid of what the team can do, and every scrap of collateral damage the team leaves behind becomes exhibit A on the campaign trail. Dangerous the way bureaucracy is dangerous: slow, and permanently on the record.
Signature moves: subpoena a teammate, push a registration bill, stage a press conference around a failed save, recruit a sympathetic adult hero to back the bill publicly.
Defeated by: the team's own Star, or their Civilian Mentor building a counter-narrative that sticks.
Appearance: A crisp suit built for a podium, a flag pin catching the light before the smile does, hair set for a camera that's usually already rolling. Grips the lectern like it's the safest thing in the room.
