The way he could get onto that guy's hand is both simple and brilliant.
After finally losing to the Paw Patrol and being arrested, at some point they've acknowledged Presto is a puppet and lay all the blame on us. But Presto keeps talking, and they tell us to drop the act.
When we insist that Presto is real, they take him off of us and then the guy puts him on to make him say silly things in a bad imitation of Presto's voice. He gets one joke in, maybe two... And then the third joke is in Presto's real voice and now everyone is in trouble. Smash cut to the credits.

It's less you running as mayor and more of you trying to convince everyone that Humdinger is a horrible mayor. Which he is.

Lol.
Though, people did say that it would be better if Iskander was only noticed after stealing the statue, so I did that. So, the dragon thing is rather well-known. Edit that, though, and I'lk make it Canon.
Either way, I'm giving a +100 Popularity Bonus.
I've never had fanart made about anything I've done, so this deserves something special.Here's my attempt at drawing Presto and Puppeteer getting away with Ryder's vehicle. Can't remember what Puppeteer's mask was so I just made her maskless. Though I'm not great at drawing, here it is.
In the process of posting this, it sort of cut off the bottom part of it. Nothing major, just the ground showcasing the crazy driving.
Next turn, you'll get to pick an action from the plan that wins and that action autopasses.
Something to help with Johanna's age as well as to prevent the obvious connection from being found is that maybe Johanna is 12 or 15 and looks like a normal adolescents girl but when she becomes the Puppeteer, she does a magical girl transformation that sees her undergo a Shazam like change to become a woman in her young 20's. So even if Johanna and the Puppeteer look eerily similar, the age difference will prevent it from being obvious and misdirect by having fans think they're sisters or something.

Maybe it's just okay for the audience to be able to tell? We don't need to twist ourselves into knots, and if we did they'd call it a cop out anyways.
The Paw Patrol will fail to determine our identity because they are in a Kid's Show, and as a matter of character traits nobody cares enough about us to remember our civilian identity.

Thing is dropping hints but taking time to confirm can drive up Hype as people constantly guess and theorize which draws in a wider audience as older viewers now have something to chew on.Maybe it's just okay for the audience to be able to tell?

Mysteries are largely overrated. "Who is The Puppeteer" has two answers, and they're us and nobody; nobody is unsatisfying and us is correct, so every hint for nobody isn't interesting and won't have a good payoff. It's a lose lose.
Reading this kind of makes me want to see a scene where the Paw Patrol and the audience are increasingly suspicious of Johanna being the Puppeteer, only for Johanna to utterly throw them for a loop by somehow setting up a doppelganger to do crime while she is clearly in front of them.
*Puts on best innocent looking face* "Whaaaat?! But guys, how can I be the Puppeteer when they're on live TV right now?"
(Non-Canon) Iskander Nega-Verse Turn 4: Xsplora
@Duke William of I hear you like negaverses
Negaverse Quest Misty eye of the of the mountain below.
Where you play as a lonely, depressed Dragon.
Mechanics
As a partially mystical Beast doing anything costs energy.
The primary way you, as a dragon, gain this energy is by sleeping on something valuable. The Item doesn't have to belong to you, but someone must Value it. Generally, the more someone Values the object, the more energy can be generated. Extracting the energy is a process that looks like sleep to outsiders and leaves a dragon somewhat vulnerable, hence why many dragons choose to carry off valuable things back to the safety of their Lair. These Valued things are generically called Artifacts, and while some have unique attributes, most are just worth a lot of Gold. (Yes, Princesses technically count as Artifacts, but if you forget to feed them, they stop being valuable.
So why doesn't a dragon just take a few Artifacts and sleep on them for energy? Well, Artifacts degrade over time based on how much they are Valued. There are other factors involved, but that is the main one.
A Family Sword Artifact is taken as a prize from a vicious battle. The Artifact is initially valuable as it is a critical family Heirloom. But when a replacement from the friendly (and discreet) blacksmith is a few Gold coins and the alternative involves finding and fighting a dragon well…
The result is the blade that is considered and, more importantly, Valued as the Family Sword Artifact is in the hands of the family and the weapon that is in the dragon's Lair is just another Sword. The one in the Lair is Still Technically an Artifact, just as it is not valued by anyone little energy can be extracted from it.
To replace the lost energy income, the dragon needs a new Artifact and has a good idea of who has a shiny new Ancient Family Sword Artifact. And so, the cycle repeats. Some dragons have collections of family swords in the hundreds, while the current bearer of the family sword still swears that his Artifact is the original blade.
While this is acceptable for some, others use a different method. Suppose a Dragon Allows it to be known what Artifacts are in its Lair, Ensures that its Lair is findable. Most importantly, allows people to think that there might be a chance of getting the Artifact. In that case, the Artifact is still desired, actively sought after, and therefore maintains its Value. As a bonus, it also Attracts Champions to the Artifact. These provide entertainment as they try to navigate your traps and tricks before you Fight them yourself if they are exceptionally cunning. Sometimes are considerate enough to carry Artifacts themselves to add to your collection after you inevitably beat them.
So why does a typical dragon's Lair have Vast amounts of Gold and few Artifacts?
Storing energy Beyond a dragon's Body's limit is another trick altogether. While you can keep some power in your Body, you need a hoard of Gold for awe-inspiring draconic feats. (Preferably with some gems in for decoration). In simple terms, the more significant the amount of Gold in your Hoard, the more energy you can store. In this way, you can do things that would be impossible because of the cost.
This is why most Dragons invest heavily in a well-defended Lair. Lairs come in many shapes and sizes, from caves to broken castles to Blasted mountaintops with ritual circles. Often the Lair itself is an Artifact. That ruined castle is the ancestral seat of the now fallen Kingdom, complete with a Lost heir Champion that seeks to retake his throne and a good deal of people whispering about how much better it was in the old days when Good King what's his face ruled justly from your New Sleeping spot.
If that sounds like too much work or risk with all those Champions wandering about. There are other ways to gain and store energy. Like getting someone else to do part of the work for you by Hiring your services out to Summoners. By acting as a summoners, Heh, Dragon or henchman and following the contract, you will get paid in energy (and potentially other stuff depending on your agreement). Beware, contracts can be hard to break, impose restrictions on what you can and can't do and are occasionally a trap.
TLDR Artifacts Generate energy but degrade Gold stores energy. Actions can Gain or recharge Artifacts and Gold but will likely attract Champions to fight you in the field or at your Lair. Summoners pay energy but demand service.
Turn 4
Johanna's smile is blinding as she finally masters the spell. Imbrem Acus one of the very few you know how to teach. You are reminded of another child with a dream of weaving and an overly busy parent. The parent was also a weaver, no a dyer, back when purple was an expensive colour. A zest for life, a skill of weaving unmatched, unable to keep her mouth shut when she saw what she thought was the truth and… you forced your memories away from the Mediterranean of your earlier years and focused on the here and now.
Your master was happy and safe even with her reckless pursuit of magic. Your thoughts darkened again, Watching her lying there small and crumpled… you shook yourself before focusing n the hear end now. Her honest joy for success and the smallest amount of positive attention was heartbreaking. Looking up so she does not see you scowling, You feel the currents of the earth and sky . You feel the turn of the seasons in your bones, and another lunar cycle starts. What will you do with your time this month?

April 29, 2015: Secret Hideout
Lazing around at the hideout, with nothing much to do, you decided to scroll through your phone and see what the internet was collectively melting over this time.
"Paw Patrol..."
Amount of Paw Patrol Recruits: 1D5 = 5
"New Paw Patro-wait, what?!?!"
Paw Patrol's Ryder Collins Announces Five New Pup Recruits to be Revealed in May.
The article went on with snippets of an interview with Ryder, but you could only flabbergast and sputter in disbelief.
How and where did they get all these pups?! What kind of funding did he have to pull this off?! Why did you learn about this only just now?!?!
"When asked about why the pups weren't joining the roster now, the intrepid Ryder simply replied, 'Our new recruits are all good pups, but they'll need time to train and acclimate to the team. As such, they'll be given a month to train and prepare for such. I have full confidence, however, that they'll fit in with the rest of the pups and they'll be a symbol to all, both here and abroad.'
"When asked why training would take that long, his response was, 'Our pups come from all over the world, so it will take some time for them to arrive here. I'd already been hoping to recruit these pups before, but with the appearance of Presto and the Puppeteer, these plans were fast-forwarded to next month.'"
"Symbol to all, both here and abroad..." "All over the world..."
...
...That smug and vague bastard, he was planning for Paw Patrol to go international at some point, wasn't he?!
Results:
Five new pups will be added to the Paw Patrol's roster next month.
You're not thrilled by these recent developments.
|--------------------------------------------|
Adventure Bay: 1D100-10(Puppeteer)+10(Paw Patrol) = 98-20*+10 = 88
*Figured that your actions deserved a -20 instead of -10, but it doesn't really matter now, does it?
"Adventure Bay..."
Needless to say, despite you having coming in with a hammer, the spirit of Adventure Bay had not been crushed.
If anything, it had been only strengthened, especially with the announcement of five new recruits for the Paw Patrol coming next month.
Mayor Goodway, in a surprisingly insightful move, declared that to help the Paw Patrol during this time of need, a temporary Adventure Bay Neighborhood Watch Group would be formed to keep watch and alert the Paw Patrol if there were any sightings of Presto and the Puppeteer.
Bold move, Mayor. Bold move.
There's also been an influx of bounty hunters and "heroes" all wanting to take a shot at capturing you and the resulting fame from having defeated you.
This was gonna be an utter pain for you to deal with, wasn't it?
Rewards:
An Adventure Bay Neighborhood Watch Group had been established until
Wannabe bounty Hunters and heroes are flocking to Adventure Bay for the chance to fight and defeat an actual SUPERVILLAIN.
-20 to Villainous Actions for the forseeable future unless you deal with these bounty hunters and watch group soon.
|--------------------------------------------|
Mayor Humdinger: 1D100+10(Kitty Crew)-10(Paw Patrol)-20(Utter Incompetence) = 70+10-10-20 = 50
"Vernon Humdinger..."
Nothing.
No idiotic schemes, no hare-brained attempts to subvert the Paw Patrol, no nothing. He just... did other stuff not worthy of mentioning. It was like he was being pragmatic for once.
...Why did that thought terrify you more than the bounty hunters after your head?
Results:
Humdinger has done nothing so far...
|--------------------------------------------|
A/N:
I'm going to make Ryder canonically 14 as my SoD is broken by, of all things, a 10-year-old being able to drive.
Also, I don't really feel like doing the OOC spoiler stuff anymore. It just seems tedious, but if you want I'll do it next time.
Enjoy!

Wow! This is a really well-thought out omake.
Pick One:
[] Lair Fit For A Conqueror: +20 to Rolls related to your Secret Hideout next turn.
[] More Energy Required: +15 to Rolls related to Artifacts Next Turn.
[] Hoard All The Hoards: Every Rumor Mill, Iskander rolls a 1D100 to see if he finds anything. (He doesn't go very far from the hideout, though, so that he isn't seen.)

Well, adding a bunch of new pups means that we can ki-- er, uh, puppetify them out of hand, to show that we mean serious business.
"Here's the new team, they'll definitely help!" And then their newbie character flaws leads them all to go up against us doing something unwisely, and then we exploit that in order to destroy them. Then the original paw patrol has to rescue them, and they are humbled and recognize that they should listen to their seniors and take things seriously in the superhero business.
So, if we want to foreshadow our crimes, we need to plan them in advance. Planning is just a fancy word for outlining what we actually want, so we'll start with the end goals and work our way backwards; I personally want to clear away the amateur bounty hunters to fix that malus, and knock the Paw Patrol back down to size because five more dogs is Too Much.
To do that, we need to discourage the bounty hunters and the new members so badly they give up.
To do that, we need to get the bounty hunters in a position to be hit all at once, and to convince the new members that they aren't a good fit for the patrol.
To do that, we need to bait out the Bounty Hunters with a crime they are expecting, so that we can hit them with a crime they are not expecting, and we need to learn more about the new members so that we can exploit them psychologically.
To do that, we need to accomplish a few crimes to lay the groundwork for the 'bait crime' and the 'scheme crime', and we also need to scout the paw patrol both criminally and socially - luckily, we have a social 'in', so that'll be kind of easy, because at the end of the day they are dogs and they're used to people just arbitrarily loving on them.
Now that we have the goals and the method to accomplish them laid out back to front, we can start thinking front to back again:
Bounty Hunters:
0.) We should set up a trap that we can lead others to. It should be somewhere fairly reasonable for a crime to occur, but we'll have to be stealthiest here because we don't want anyone to suspect what we are doing. This is step zero because we don't want to have built any more 'criminal heat' yet; suspicion should be at its lowest.
1.) Commit a slew of minor crimes that are specifically easy to disengage from. We want to give the appearance of crime, but not get stuck in a fight with any of them because it's not time for that yet.
2.) In the first step, we should be hinting at a crime to come, like a big heist or something; it should be obvious what's coming next. For instance, if there were a number of art galleries in the area, and we hit all of them except one, they'd expect us to also hit the final art gallery. This location should be the location of the trap we set up.
3.) We should give the appearance of coming to do the crime, at which point the Bounty Hunters should strike. Once they have struck, we counterstrike with our preparations.
4.) Once we have turned all the bounty hunters into puppets, we should set up a stall and sell them as merch. They'll get better eventually, but it'll be absolutely devastating and also hilarious.

Well, that's... Interesting. Since they're international... is the pup that beat us In the talent show from where we used to live with our parents or here? Since it kinda confirms whether or not they're the pup that beat us in our backstory.
Welcome to being famous, Jo.
