Not a villain — a wave. Journalists, bloggers, livestreamers, and tabloid stringers, all descending on the team after a public incident at once. Can't be fought. Has to be navigated, and whatever the team says here is tomorrow's headline whether they meant it or not.
Signature moves: ambush a teammate with a microphone, livestream a private moment, ask the worst possible question, run a misleading caption.
Defeated by: the team's own The Star or Ace Reporter steering the framing — or simply handing the cycle a better story.
Appearance: A shifting wall of phones, mic flags, and shoulder cameras all pointed at once, badges and lanyards from a dozen outlets tangled together. Presses forward the instant anybody looks up.
