It's a good idea, personally I'd double her up with Mercy to increase their cooperation scores.

how about this write-in [ ] spend time getting to know your employee.
lex would do this IC his ego would wants to be the cool boss we can also put subvotes for who we want to spend time with.

Don't you think you guys are adding a bit too many write-ins? We don't want to make it too hard for our devoted QM, do we?

They are not the best team having high stats in different areas but we may do this. Speaking of this my thought on possible teams:
Luthor+Mercy - good for any kind of action just because of their high coop score.
Luthor+Pamela - good for diplomacy actions, good for learning actions.
Luthor+Ivo - Despite negative cooperation, it should be really good in any robotics related learning action.
Mercy+Pamela - Decent for learning actions, may be an option for intrigue action should we need Luthor elsewhere
Mercy+Ivo - I see no reason to go for this combination
Pamela+Ivo - Not a good idea
Luthor+Mercy+Ivo - I guess if we really want to develop combat robots...
Luthor+Mercy+Pamela - I am not sure how mechanics work but that may be a panic option for do or die actions
(Pamela hates Anthony Ives and finds the man dismissive rude insufferable and disgusting. If forced to spend time with the man Pamela might be tempted to kill him. Ives for his part doesn't view Pamela as a real scientist, insults her intelligence and views her as a charity case for Luthor who only got the job due to being good looking)
No, there are more convenient ways to get rid of Ivo

I was thinking more of a low/mid learning+Stewardship roll (That's what I expect building scientific farms would need.) They cover each others weaknesses well.
Edit: Nevermind Mercy's Stewardship is way lower than I thought it was.

Until we manage to raise Isley's cooperation score through other means other than having her cooperate with either Luthor or Mercy (Ivo is a lost cause and will most likely become a liability in time), the only combination we should consider using is Luthor + Mercy, as that is the only combination of heroes that we have that has cooperation score higher than 1.
Current cooperation scores:
Luthor + Mercy: 1.35
Luthor + Isley: 0.30
Mercy + Isley: 0.50
Ivo + Isley: -1.20
Luthor + Ivo: -0.10
Mercy + Ivo: 0
Current cooperation scores:
Luthor + Mercy: 1.35
Luthor + Isley: 0.30
Mercy + Isley: 0.50
Ivo + Isley: -1.20
Luthor + Ivo: -0.10
Mercy + Ivo: 0

i am just saying some of use voted for him and he has learning at 30 we should at least try to increase the cooperation scores miracles can happen sometimes.

Isn't getting people to work together and succeed the best way of raising it though?
Crit success some low dc environmental rolls with Isley and we'll be over 1 in no time
(I think I read that getting multiple hero units over 1.0 with us gives us more actions per turn as well.)

That isn't the only way to increase cooperation score, according to QM:
Also, trying to raise cooperation by having Isley work with Luthor\Mercy is going to force us to have them cooperate on simple action, because as it is Isley + Luthor would only give a bonus of 3 points for every 10 points that we were supposed to get (5 points in case of Isley + Mercy), which does not allow us to tag-team hard actions, as I suspect that a failure isn't going to contribute to raising the cooperation score.
Needless to say, considering that we have to deal with both the whole assassin debacle here and Lois Lane trying to ruin our reputation, we're going to be too busy trying to ensure important actions pass by tag-teaming them with Luthor + Mercy to be able to focus on taking simple actions meant to help increase Isley's cooperation score with Luthor and Mercy.

We should alternate between pairing Lex with Isley and Ivo - to eventually boost their cooperation to 1 for the extra action, but more importantly, to keep an eye on how far their research is going, so we could prevent Isley going insane or we can betray Ivo at the most opportune time for us.

I'm going with the Neil Gaiman/Dave McKean version as that is what I am most familiar with and what most post-crisis stuff has used as far as I am aware
I have something similar in the works so I've got to reject this
Yes it's a risk-reward paradigm. Go for deliberately suboptimal stuff now to make things better later or play as optimally as possible and don't grow as much .
And yeah the more heroes over 1 cooperation the more actions you can undertake.

@King crimson is there anyway to use different stats for hero unit vote like for example i am trying to increase Ivo's cooperation score and since Mercy is at only 0 with him we combine her Martial: 19 and his Learning: 30 on for example on [ ] Begin development of combat exosuit?
No. Even slightly negative cooperation is worth considering. 0.5 and 0.3 are completely fine. It is still a bonus, and getting both heroes + to roll is still + to roll.
Exanple: Luthor + Pamela on diplomatic action is 26+16+3=+45, Luthor + Mercy is 26+4+13=+43. First one is slightly better. There are also common sense, let say we have an action... hmmm... recruit botanist team for Pamela... Who fits better Pamela or Mercy?
And Luthor + Ivo on learning robotics with 25+30-1 makes more sense than 25+10+13 with Luthor + Mercy

Your calculations are wrong:
Luthor + Isley: 26+16=42 ; 42*0.3=12.6 (which is likely going to be a 13)
compared to
Luthor + Mercy: 26+4=30 ; 30*1.35=40.5(which is likely going to be a 41)
Luthor + Ivo: 25+30=55 ; 55*-0.1=-5.5(which is likelt going to be a -6)
compared to
Luthor + Mercy: 25+10=35 ; 35*1.35=47.25(which is likely going to be a 47)
Bonus to action for two heroes is calculated as follows: (relevant stat of Hero A + relevant stat of Hero B) * cooperation score of Hero A and Hero B
