For proof, I have fetched their personals and combed them all to make sure it's just them. I come back with a few bonus insights.
Jumba
Ludivine
Janus Lee
Jumba
Explicitly calls out LOVEMUFFIN. Seems most likely to be an absorption tactic, as Jumba is the finest in mad science we have.
Ludivine
Actually not necessarily what I thought it was at first - We might get more utility out of it by throwing her at Khan, maybe pair it with a personal with him learning modern logics. This is actually meant to... Well, probably be used exactly like that. There's a chance LOVEMUFFIN, if shoved in here, would fall in line behind Ludivine, but I don't quite trust it. Our generalist Learning Queen, being our Wildcard Bonus Action's leader? Too powerful.
Janus Lee
This one is a toss up. It calls out LOVEMUFFIN, but isn't them specifically. I still think it's likely they'll snap to Subtle Mad-Science Lee, but less likely than NAME-BRAND MAD-SCIENCE JUMBA!

Let's take all of the actions at the same time and see what happens! With a Company Retreat it's actually possible, assuming we have Jumba+Ludivine on Learning Nationals and Janus on Stewardship.
Although, hmmmm.... we might have to put Wasabi on a hypothetical PMC Power Armor Martial Action if he ends up with a similar 'Talk with LOVEMUFFIN' Personal Action. Which might end up good, depending on the DC?
I dunno, but mechanically I'd rather not lose our extra action. And narratively, I'd rather LOVEMUFFIN find the drive to excel as their own Hero Unit rather than 'give up' and just fold themselves into another one of our better Units.

I am fully willing to bet a dollar that if LOVEMUFFIN folds in with Jumba (My most likely choice for the action succeeding), their BONUS ACTION trait will fold into him as well, as it's not so much "They become his assistants" as "He becomes their leader."

What if, we did ALL OF THEM AT ONCE! SUPER SCIENCE VOLTON GO!
Good news! You now have a +200 Learning bonus!
Bad news! You've just lost the use of your three biggest SCIENCE! heroes in one insane Mad Scienceball. Also, they might blow up the planet. >.>

Have Jumba on genetics, ludivine on power armor, janus on sublight, and all use their personal actions and we're set

The combined Hero unit now has 70 Learning, Ludivine's Absent-minded trait, an extra action courtesy of Lovemuffin's, and Jumba's love of chaos. Whenever you put them on a non-mad science related action, there's a chance they'll immediately switch to a mad science action instead.

Hey, what's a Lavos?

We probably don't want a Lavos .... An Obsidian on the other hand, now that could be VERY useful.
Happenings Up North
Happenings Up North
"Come on, come on…."
On edge, filled with tension, the white haired boy pushed down on a button, ready to fire the shot that would end this miss-
*Miss*
"MISS!?! You had a ninety eight percent chance to hit! How do you miss that!?" The controller was thrown down to the side as he threw his head into his hands. The snickering next to him didn't help in any way.
"Wow, I think that breaks my record for 'worst luck in a game'" the redhead next to him teased, 'comfortingly' patting him on the shoulder.
Ignoring the weird feeling he got with the contact, he simply turned his head, "… shut up, Soleil".
A cheeky grin sprung up in response. "Am I wrong, Noel?"
Before he could compose a mature and reasonable response, the office phone rang. Soleil sprang for the phone before he could make any last interjection, and he barely held back the urge to throw an ice pellet at her. They wouldn't do much, but pettiness had it's worth.
"Shatterpoint Investigations, how can we help you? … Oh, Lyla, is that you?"
It was from C.O.W.C.A.? Had something happened?
"Only Noel and I, but we can come down now if you want." Pausing only to scribble down something, she only said, "Wait, it's here? We're on our way." before hanging up the phone, the prior levity gone. He sighed as he shut off the tv. Duty called.
"So, where's the job?"
His partner frowned. "It's downtown. In the middle of the city."
Oh. That was a problem.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Managing the Toronto subway with years of experience, they eventually reached a nondescript apartment, normal except for the C.O.W.C.A. agent standing inside one of the rooms. Upon noticing them, she spared a brief smile before walking over to them. "I'm glad you guys could make it. Everyone else is busy, eh?"
Lyla Lolliberry was a familiar face for them, being their primary liaison whenever they worked with C.O.W.C.A. They had been busy lately with the recent rise of superpowered crimes. The fact that their counterpart organization O.W.C.A. was suborned by some Doofenshmirtz guy probably didn't help with their manpower problem.
(Come to think about it, who were their other agents? He never managed to get an answer whenever he asked.)
He nodded in response. "Yeah, Lily took Finn out west, and Eir's watching Ember. I think there were reports of a Wendigo in the woods, so they went to help deal with it. And they left us in charge of all the paperwork!"
She sighed. "I know the feeling."
"So what's going on here anyway? I don't see anything here out of the ordinary."
The government agent frowned. "That's the problem. Come in."
The three of them walked into what appeared to be a normal children's bedroom. A glance to the side wall showed pictures of a young girl and presumably her parents. There were a pile of blankets carelessly dumped on the floor in an overwise immaculate room.
"This morning, the police got a call from a hysterical family that their daughter had gone missing." Lyla explained. "They had gone to bed, and when they woke up" her hands spread out as if showing off the room, no further explanation necessary.
Well, maybe a bit more was necessary. "Okay, so a kid went missing. That doesn't explain why C.O.W.C.A.'s getting involved." Soleil smacked his shoulder at his blunt phrasing, but seemed to be curious about that as well.
"There were a couple of oddities. First, we couldn't find any signs of forced entry anywhere in the apartment. Even the front door was locked, so the kid didn't let someone in. We were fortunate enough that they had a camera in her room."
Soleil vocalized their confusion, "Wait, why?"
"Don't know yet. Some of the others are talking to them, trying to see if they heard anything out of the ordinary." Lyla pulled a tablet out of a bag sitting against the wall. "They didn't get the culprit on a video, and it was dark, so the quality isn't the greatest, but it did managed to capture this." She handed the tablet over to Soleil, making him lean over to see as the red head hit play.
Clearly whoever set up this camera didn't bother to check if it captured her bed, if they were looking for her reaction. But it did have a perfect angle to see the closet door opening of its own accord, a shadow moving across the frame. Moments passed before the girl sat up in shock, what little body language they could catch showing how terrified she was before she fell of the bed. The shadow from before moved back around, the blankets being thrown back up as the closet door shut as if nothing happened.
"We checked the closet door, and-," the C.O.W.C.A. agent grunted as she threw the closet open, revealing shelves and drawers filled with clothes. "There isn't enough room for a normal person to hide in here, let alone any way to get out."
Soleil looked as confounded as he felt. "I can see why you called us. So you think it might be supernatural in nature?"
Noel walked up to the closet. It looked normal, no signs of any mess that would signify someone moving through.
Lyla nodded, "That's one explanation we're considering."
He turned back to the closet. So that implied whoever was here had powers. It couldn't be solely teleportation- they wouldn't fit in the closet. Maybe they could transform their body? But why go back in the closet? And that didn't explain the shadow's size. They could have been crouching though…
Lost in thought as he was, he almost missed Soleil's comment. "Do we know if this happened before? And any motives?"
A shake no. "We're looking into past missing persons reports to see if anything like this happened before, but as far as we can tell, she's completely ordinary. We can't find a reason that she would be taken."
Noel swore under his breath. "So we have a kidnapper that does so on a whim and has powers to get in and out of a building without forcing their way in. And we don't even know how they did it, so we can't track them or figure out who they're going for next. Great."
The other two looked as unhappy as he did at the thought.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was with that grim statement that they returned to investigating, but they found nothing. Lyla promised to let them know if she found anything else, but the look on her face didn't provide much confidence in that.
They found themselves back on the couch hours later. The sheer mystery of the incident had unnerved both of them. Who would do such a thing? How had they gotten away with it in the middle of downtown Toronto? And for what?
Years of dealing with various magical creatures made him shiver at the thought of what some of them would do to a innnocent kid.
"So what are we going to do?" Soleil was tossing a flame back and forth between her hands, clearly frustrated about the lack of knowledge to do anything.
"For right now, we wait for Lily to get back to tell her about it. And then we investigate I guess."
She shot a look at him. "And if they go after someone else?"
Noel shrugged. "We deal with it when it come to it. And if they go after us? " He snapped his fingers, causing ice spikes to form around him. "We crush them. No more, no less" He snapped his fingers again, and the ice spikes dematerialized. They stayed there for a moment before a deadpan reply slipped out.
"… I don't think it sounded as cool as you thought it did in your head."
The white haired boy could just feel his cheeks burning as he shoved his head into one of the couch cushions, hoping she couldn't hear his embarrassed screaming. He ignored the sound of her laughing from her spot on the couch. But ridiculousness of his statement aside, if the kidnapper decided to try again, dared to go after those he cared about this time…
There wasn't going to be a body left to bury.
A/N: Alright, first time actually trying to write a scene with characters and dialogue. Half of this was pretty much a plot bunny that kept running away from me. I'm not really sure how it turned out, and if I do something with this again might do something completely different with some of the characters. But please, I'd appreciate the feedback on this.
Anyway, since we know nothing about Canada right now, I have a couple of ideas about head canon stuff, but right now the main one I'm thinking that like the rest of the world, they're dealing with more supervillains and etc., which also keep C.O.W.C.A. tied up.
Also, yes the kidnapping was the Monsters Inc Stuff. C.O.W.C.A. stumbled across it by complete accident but since they don't have the knowledge Gantu has, they have negative leads. It's basically their decoding transmissions equivalent.

if it has even one Danville sized city my point still stands.
And I will fight space. Space is like flubber to me, yeah hypothetically it could be good but the aggravation and amount of spiralling storylines involved . . .
Like. Flubber is straight up thermodynamics breaking and has infinite uses. We're already so cramped for actions, so bloated . . Nah. I'd rather synthesize Uburnium for our projects at a cost than try to make perpetual motion and also [POST REDACTED FOR NATIONAL SECURITY REASONS REMEMBER FLUBBER IS BAD - THE GHOST FBI]
like those are all cool and interesting things but not a single piece of it is narratively interesting. It's like. A perpetual techline. No thank you.
what was I talking about, space?
Right. Space is megaspooky. It's not as bad as Phobos vs Toffee vs Dorito but it's definitely outside of our ability to do anything but grovel before nanny GalFed

HMMMM
What game could he possibly be playing? Can't possibly be XCOM, the RNG there isn't that terrible...
Good stuff all around, though I just skimmed. Professional reading eventually inbound.
You would think, you would think....
I swear, the only games with comparable RNG rates are gatcha games
THAT'S XCOM, BABY!!

Alright, back to the thread.
So, any more thoughts on LOVEMUFFIN: THE RECKONING, or should we plan on siccing Jumba on them next turn?
...I know, we want to Do The Science Thing with him... But LOVEMUFFIN seems powerfully timesensetive. And I like my additional action!

Automatic critical successes are even more time sensitive. If we get the company retreat action next turn we should do that, but otherwise LOVEMUFFIN will just have to live with whichever hero units aren't busy critically succeeding at as many things as possible.
As long as Jumba can do National Actions I'm fine with it, but if not they'd have to make do with what we can, or, wait 1 turn more.
Also, remember that they will most likely crit succeed so they'll probably get a big loyalty bonus if we assign them to a mad science action (the laser in particular comes to my mind).
This. We need to crit as much as we can on high, useful DC actions.

I'm not especially interested in space either, my goal is simply More Multidimensions. I'd like to think i'm the primary advocate for the crystal key, but i'm probably wrong.
I am slightly interested in selling space tech to the goverment, and also the exotic vehicles mystery box, but not actually doing stuff in space.
