Meh. Underground street fights don't really seem like Norm's thing. Personally, I want him helping out Wendy with her show PA. Not only would both of them probably enjoy it, but he might learn a thing or two.

I could agree with that for the turn we have Wendy do the show.
But if we don't have Wendy on the show next turn I want Norm to do something interesting like build a bot to fight.
There are several things that Norm lacks which makes him participating in bot fights an issue.
1) Sapience. Arguably it isn't required, but I can't see it being a good idea.
2) Funds. The bot fights involve gambling. You need to have money to show up, and Norm doesn't have hundreds/thousands of dollars on hand.
3) Sneakiness. It may surprise you, but Norm only has one point in Intrigue. Robot fighting is illegal. Do you think the people fighting bots would want him there? Specifically all of the attention that he would bring?
As much it would no doubt amuse MiH and The Dice to render the sort of failure that would deliver, I have no intention of supporting it.

I mean infertile couples, elderly couples and gay couples do all exist. Hiro and Trina could easily adopt a child if they wanted one, though I'm sure that's the farthest thing from their mind at... what, 17? 18?

All true, but I watch enough Sci-Fi to know robot girl friends rarely end well. Still, I'll wish him luck and not to end up controlled, anymore than a normal guy with a girl
Negaduck was a King, and, thought he now lacks a Kingdom, I'd say he still is.

Wait, El Fuego has negative stats all around? Yikes. I will consider us getting him as a hero unit the result of a crit fail from now on
New inators!
Invis-inator (Good): It's an invisibility ray. That's... that's it. It's an invisibility ray. (At least, you think it's just an invisibility ray.) Gain +20 to all Intrigue checks that turn.
Invis-inator (Bad): Huh. You forgot you added a disintegrator function to this inator. Oops. Your inator disintegrates a mountain of undone important paperwork, sending your bureaucracy into cardiac arrest. Take -20 for all Stewardship checks that turn.

I like this, but have a suggestion: instead of the -inator randomly doing something it wasn't intended to do, it performs exactly as its supposed to. Instead of disintegrating the paperwork, it turns them invisible. Now all the paperwork is unable to be read and some of it also gets lost. Also, paper cuts.

Back when I did inator ideas, I tried to stick with that- things that function as designed, but not as intended.

"Take that!" Hego declared, declaratively, as his fist impacted the first robber's face with a shining blue glow. The man collapsed to the ground, completely stunned.
"Oh god!" The second yelled. "It's a Cape!"
"That's not a Cape you idiot, that's a Super!" A third chided. "Now move out of the way so I can shoot him!"
The third man raised his gun and aimed it at the blue-clad hero- to no effect. Hego's super-durable chest absorbed the energy of the laser bolts with little more than a grimace of pain from the hero himself! A swing of the fist turned the techno tommy gun into scrap, sending its former owner crashing against the wall!
"Ha ha! Such a feeble toy of evil cannot stop a HERO OF JUSTICE!" Hego boldly declared as he plucked one gangster from the floor and tossed him into a pile of his friends.
Finally, this is what he had been looking for! He had wasted enough time going for leisurely supervillain-funded strolls down main street, saving evil cats from trees. These weren't the kind of horrid supervillains that would execute their captive in the middle of a dramatic monologue, or gather in a place civilians could be caught in the crossfire. This was how things were supposed to be!
"Fine!" One of the robbers declared, grabbing hold of one of the cowering civilians currently trying to avoid notice on the bank's floor. "I can't hurt you, but I can hurt him."
The man whimpered as the robber held his gun to his neck.
Perhaps Hego had spoken too soon.
The superhero approached slowly, trying to avoid any sudden moves. "Easy now."
"Don't come any closer!" The robber screamed. "Or else-"
Hego leapt.

Great success!
Hego leapt, interposing his hand between the barrel and the hostage before the vile villain could hope to act. A second later he pulled the trigger, only for nothing to happen. Hego blinked, then pulled the weapon out of his hands and bashed him against it.
"Quick, someone call the boss before-" one of the criminals cut himself off upon seeing Hego's heroic pose.
"I think not!" he declared, grabbing the man's cell phone and snapping it in half. "Whatever may have led you to such a life of crime is pointless in the end! Surrender right now and I'll put in a good word with the DA for you."
The mobster looked like he was considering his options for a moment before finally raising his hands in defeat. Hego beamed. After spending months mired in the morass of morality in Danville, he had finally let those criminal kitties and bad memories behind. Olympia Corp was leading the way to a bright new tomorrow, moving away from their predecessor's comments on capes! Mr. Deavor was a true idealist, on the occasions he had spoken to Hego he could tell that the man cared about Supers as much as he did.
So then… why was it all so slightly off?
The captured gangsters marched sullenly out of the broad double doors, not even trying to make a break for it and risk Hego's wrath. As Hego led them down the stairs to the streets outside, he was surprised to see that the police were already pulling up!
That… was a little odd. Sure, Hego had called them three minutes ago, and a city should be able to pride itself on prompt police service… but it did make him raise an eyebrow. Every time he had called the cops in the past it usually took them upwards of ten minutes to arrive.
No time for that. The public was watching, and Hego knew he needed to make a good impression.
"These miserable mobsters will trouble the fair city of Reno no longer!" Hego proudly declared, beaming for the… yes! There were cameras out there to capture his moment of glory! He offered a heroic wave to reassure viewers at home that he would always be vigilant.
"Thanks, Hego." One of the cops commented as his squad handcuffed the mobsters and read them their rights. "With you around it's like we actually have a chance around here. Ever since those omnidroids went down, crime's been a lot tougher to crack down on."
"Fear not, officer! As long as I am on the case, crime stands no chance!"
"Mr Hego, can we quote you on that? We're looking for a headline on page three!" A quickly arriving reporter asked.
"Of course you can! As long as my words touch as many people as possible, the spirit of true heroism may never die!"
Hego posed heroically until the press tired of the spectacle, crowd slowly tapering off. As they did, Hego saw the craven criminals being led towards the police station… a police station only a block or two down the street. That explained that, he supposed. But then why would any criminal stage a bank robbery just two blocks from the precinct headquarters?
Hego stepped back into the building, and slowly made to pick up the weapon he had discarded on the floor. After double checking there were no civilians in the area, he gently depressed the trigger.
Nothing.
The laser gun was completely jammed, if that was even the right word for the weapon. Hego did not know how they worked. That was certainly a stroke of good luck. If he hadn't been fast enough, things still would have worked out.
That was good, right?
Before that thought could be pursued further, Hego heard a gentle beep from the communicator at his side. He lifted the phone from its clip, popping it to his ear. "Hego here."
"Hego!" The delighted voice of Winston Deavor called from the other side. "I just finished going over the logs from your latest escapade. You were amazing out there! Like lightning!"
"Oh. Uh, thank you Winston. I do my best."
"And it's amazing! And speaking of amazing, I have news. Rumor has it that Martinez is gearing up for a big push to finally get the SRA repealed! My sister thinks we've finally got enough momentum behind us for one final push. Next month, we're hosting the biggest event of the season for charity, and to raise awareness of the cause! We'll want you there, of course, along with several other of our best and brightest. There'll be a lot of political bigwigs on the scene, so be ready to schmooze!"
That's great!" Hego said cheerily. "I'm looking forward to it."
"Great! I'll let you get on with your day then. Bye!"
Hego let the smile drop from his mouth just a touch too quickly. After going into the station for a quick debriefing and answering a few more questions from the final dregs of the press, Hego made his way back to his apartment. The past year or two had been rough, but things were finally working out! Ever since the old days of his work in Go City he had dreamed of a life like this. It was just as he had envisioned, and it was every bit as satisfying as he thought he'd be. He was helping people! He was a hero!
Seeing you playing at it like a snot-nosed five year old is an absolute disgrace to the men you look up to!
Hego shook his head and hummed a merry tune to distract himself as he whipped up a quick dinner for himself, following along with an instructional video on Buzztube. Bolton's words had stuck with him. Tonight's dinner was Consomme Sapho, a relatively simple dish he'd picked up from Anyone Can Cook. What a delightful book that was. Everything slotted into place perfectly. Yes, Hego was confident that his life was turning in a new direction.
So why couldn't he shake the feeling that something was wrong?

Oh, Hego. You finally roll well and it's just enough for you to start climbing out of the hole.
