Of course now I am trying to figure out who would be the villain of vegan super hippies. Someone dressed in a supersuit made entirely of meat?

Imagine a greedy, selfish, misogynistic, egotistical, arrogant fool with more money than sense who’s elected to public office. Wait....

All beautiful ideas, but I think where I am running into major problems is that I am overthinking Drives.
I want all of my villains to be beautiful and unique snowflakes and sometimes a guy just wants to get rich quick robbing a bank.
I can see the Big Game Hunter being the type "To Hunt the Biggest Game There Is...Superheroes!"
Or the Gimp being "To Share His Love With Others"
But again, I keep trying to figure out better ones, and I think I am overthinking all of it. There's a reason for the KISS principle.
Anyway, I was thinking of picking up where we left off last session in the aftermath of the fight with Nicoli (whose drive is to have the Night Watcher embrace his vampiric nature and love Nicoli back. Nicoli is attracted to TNW and that's why he made TNW into a vampire.)
Well, the Night Watcher can give an adult opinion on things. I have hooks set up for each character and TNW involves 2 players so that should be fun. Plus as they go home people who know their hero lives will have things to say (our Transformed and Outsider have public IDs). I was also thinking of having the news show up, try to get a name out of the kids for a group.
Another reason to have the news show up is enemies of Mother Terra (vegan hippy hero according to her son) would see that her sidekick Silver Spirit is working with the Transformed and make an effort to find the Transformed in the city. Flash forward a few weeks and while they are all at Halcyon North High School one of the enemies makes a play for the Transformed hero to try and get to Silver Spirit.
At least that's where I think I am going....

Continuing to run with a session last night. One of the heroes just found out he is the great grandson of Bacchus, a known villain on my world. He is far enough removed from that legacy to lay claim to a sacred grove (which we call The Grove because we hate naming things) that his mother and grandmother could not enter because it was made by the great-grandmother to keep out people like Bacchus (if that makes sense). So they have their own official base now.
Another thing I have hinted at is that the character Whirlwind, who is completely inspired by Wolverine, has cold iron blades. She was originally kidnapped by people who were selling her to a Somali warlord to be used as a weapon (She's a bull but with blades that pop out and insane regeneration). The cold iron blades just seemed interesting at the time but the story seems to be telling me that the Somali warlord had a rebellion on his hand that was being helped by creatures of myth.
Whirlwind's sister also went missing when Whirlwind was kidnapped. I was thinking of the generic response which was to make her a weapon too but then I thought what if she had a fairy friend (sort of like a Dobby type) since she was a small child. When the commandos came and took Whirlwind and killed her parents, the younger sister could have escaped with the fae and is living in the world of the fae. The Grove can connect to both the human realm and the fae realm, which means a meeting would eventually be in place where Whirlwind could meet her sister.
Am I thinking too much on this for a PbtA game or is this OK? What do you guys think of my idea?
Interestingly enough after ending on a cliffhanger a few times, this game had Avi the Alien and Whirlwind eating ice cream and watching Mary Poppins, Silver Spirit watching his mother (Mother Terra) beat down a villain on youtube, and Nobody and Steel Fox enjoying milkshakes at Jerry's 24/7. It was a rather nice ending to that particular comic book.
Oh, yeah. Avi's race is coming to Earth. There seems to be some confusion if they are invading or just visiting. This is causing Avi some stress right now.
