Names that have father nicknames are hard that and I haven't really thought about names those were on the top of my head.

Patriarchy Supreme. Just patriarchy for short.
Can you imagine the scenes we would get be hilarious.

Ah yes attacking the gems with the patriarchy that's one for the books.
I was thinking The Toiletnator being good at something.

I really like our Suit research options and feel we should try to get artificial shadow stuff going then make a bunch of mantles for our Heroes every boost we can give is helpful.
Specially in Toiletnators case.
Edit:
I also imagine that father could get a boost from it himself maybe a proximity buff? The more allies wearing it near him the greater the buff?

Giving the military the gem tech fits well with our ingratiating ourself to the government and military, becoming a part of The System.
We're a super wealthy eccentric evil guy of foreign origin, we're the United States government's natural ally.
I imagine Hank will be very upset about the cake incident talk it out with Father, find out he didn't quite realize how lethal it was, find out a bit more about Father's past and understand a bit that he's not quite had proper role models, what with Grandfather being an evil overlord that was defeated back in the day and not around for Father's teen years.
And it seems with him not remembering when he started wearing that suit, that Father himself is a bit blurry on his young adult days too.

Honestly Father probably thought everyone was fireproof like him and the kids would only be terrified.

Well, we crit-fail the action I wanted most but effectively still succeded at getting rid of the threat, at the cost of, by the interlude name, presumably coming to the attention of another King
The other crit-successes are pretty good too
I feel like we could probbably still make some money on gem-integrated tech even if we share it with the government, but it would be less since we'd be waiving the military aspects and people with government spies could access it.... still, if we focused on doing something domestic with it, it might work

Reacting to the update, woohoo!
Critfails always suck, sure, but we got way more out of this than I expected. Like, I wouldn't have expected the action to actually get completed, and what's even better is that we get a +10 bonus to stomping KND Treehouses next turn. I fully expect the reduction to public approval to be abated in time, just considering how we tend to vote. And I imagine that timeline gets immensely sped up if we invest further in ice cream and coffee. At the end of the day, public appoval is a currency, and I'm willing to accept trading it for the removal of monsters in our territory and greater odds of stomping the KND next turn.
Second, I want to keep this tech proprietary. We're a Soopervillain, we can deal with people liking us less while we make the big bucks by selling Gem Tech for both civilian and military use. We've got an opportunity to rake in those big defense contract bucks by keeping the tech proprietary and selling weapons to the gov, why not take it? And like I said earlier, I have full faith that we'll get the public opinion back fairly quickly, even if we don't just hand Gem Tech over to the government. We've already gotten the bulk of our benefits from them via that deal we forged, making them like us a bit more probably wouldn't have that great of an effect.
I do worry about negative loyalty penalties with Hank rolling so well on finding out Father's true nature, hopefully my fears are unfounded on that front. It'll be quite interesting to see how this nat 100 unfolds, regardless.

Always nice to see a crit success, nice job Hank. I'm a smidge worried that we'll end up passing over Wink and Fibb for whatever new recruits are on offer, but a bigger talent pool is always good, and if the new Units are better than Wink and Fibb, then that's a nice problem to have.
Numbuh 3 has become Death, Destroyer of Worlds. Sounds like out of the four we found the biggest issue is her and Numbuh 5, with Numbuh 5 gearing up to attack us somewhat soon and Kuki just being a roving cataclysm. Seems like Numbuh 4 is stuck dealing with whatever's over on Australia, so he's a non-issue, and Numbuh 2 shouldn't be an issue unless we poke Mandark enough to make him one, and we really shouldn't be poking other Kings unless thy pose an active threat to us or we're ready and willing to destroy them utterly.
So, first off, I am absolutely in love with The Iron Fist. It is our precious baby from which we shall rain down Adult Tyranny and laugh at all the other villains who don't have a sweet ride like ours.

Eh, this is fine. Sucks that we'll have to take it again, but sometimes you just roll low.

That Advanced Theoretical Stimulants action looks interesting, I wonder if XXXL could take the theory and use it in service of crafting super ice cream and/or snow cone flavors.
Oh dang, another nat 100! That talk show interlude is shaping up to be extraordinarily interesting. I'm quite looking forward to it!
So, I'd assume the Mantle of Lesser Dad would serve as an Occult and/or Martial boost, and as such it'd probably be best served given to Hex, should we take the action for it. But something in me really, really wants to give it to Hank, both because it feels fitting given he's actually a dad and giving Hank "Propane and Propane Accessories" Hill pyrokinesis seems like it'd be absolutely awesome. I suppose his opinion on villainy will decide whether giving Hank the Mantle would be a good idea or not.
Good to see his immortality ritual can proceed with no interruptions.
Assuming the position unlocked was Media Czar, I'm kind of tempted to put Izzy in said position. It'd let her get into showbiz, which seems to be what she wants, with her newly updated Fame trait she can hit up to 30 Diplo, and her high Intrigue would likely also be of use for being a Media Czar.

The choice is less about gaining their opinion, and more about empowering an allied force to better stand against the threats around.
While we could make more profit keeping it to ourself and selling bits, if we give it to them they can boost their capability to deal with threats on their own and make our intervention to prevent the situation degrading less required, leaving us free to pursue other opportunities and interests.
Getting them to like us better is a side benefit.

Not to mention we can't hold on it forever. The military and other factions have likely collected gem tech as well. It's only a matter of time or a crit before they reverse engineer and integrate it as well.
Could we campain for president weasel next turn? Having such a great Mustelidaeas our friend will only help us long term.

I would be in favor of this but we did just take a reputation hit and might hurt instead of improve his chances.
My thoughts exactly I'm almost 100% certain Mandark and co already has it reverse engineered and are just waiting for what they built with it to be finished before unveiling then selling items at cutthroat rates.
Best to empower our allies like Asmodeus said better military does the less we gotta step in and away from our own interests (tho I still want to do some more fighting in the war for more loot and beat Jasper).

Imagine if every living being on the planet had nanomachines in their body that did nothing 99.9% of the time, and 0.1% of the time they set your DNA to "random". That's an EVO, and the process is essentially permanent. A vast majority of EVOs are humans turned into mindless beasts or mutated animals that proceed to go on rampages. A smaller percentage of humans who go through the process retain their minds but are visibly mutated or physically changed in such a way that they could never hope to have a normal life again.
Providence is a SHIELD-esque organization whose mission statement is to control and contain EVOs who would otherwise be a threat to global safety and stability. Considering there was one that made all of North America suddenly fall asleep with the death toll and catastrophic loss of life that implies all but spelled out to you by the characters in the show, you can see why people see their existence as important.
Well, outside of Hex's Critfail it was alright. No one was really gonna not CF when we roll a 3. Need something to help fix our reputation though; maybe share the gem tech with the feds then punt more kids? Also we are getting a +10 Martial next turn.

We can start by targeting numbah 5 and once our ice cream stuff is fixed up we deal with those attacks.
How does that fix our reputation?
Also I am so Happy I can talk about how Numbuh 3 is the new Grim Reaper without it being a spoiler.

I was focusing on the punt more kids part.
As for reputation I'm hoping our news crew and sharing the tech will help fix that.
Hope we get some vote options that let us rebuild/repair the damaged homes showing we are responsible and willing to make amends would go a long way to restoring our image.
Plus hope gives Father some empathy seeing homeless adults with families or at least get him on the path.
thats not how it works. Jasper is a Martial action which means that best case scenario next turn we have a 33% success chance (With the +10 being the CF, not the Ship). The +10 Martial is a bonus on quest, which we lack any right now.
Oh I meant the Gems when I said kids

That makes more sense and I'm down for looting more gem tech and flexing on the enemy.
Edit:
What action would we need to set up a defense system in our territory? Something to give us a boost when we need mow the lawn or are looking for uninvited guests.

You are correct.

Once we get the factory up and running then unhypnotize the men we could probably upgrade the trucks and crew with better gear tho for that to happen we need to send Toiletnator on a different job to fail.
Thats at least 3/4 turns if we count upgrading the trucks and crew as separate actions.
Edit: my math was wrong we can fix factory and the men on the same turn so 2/3 turns of actions.
