Well Megamind is certainly what you get when you specialize heavily in one area.

Obviously, the top trait is something involving Art. The bottom could be legal expertise or just an everyman trait(Spencer is a great lawyer for someone who only did 3 days of law school, and he somehow became a dental assistant despite dropping out to become an artist)

Okay, I'll bite. This sounds interesting.
Okay, I'll bite. This sounds interesting.
Ah, you'll have to fix this, I'm afraid. I took a closer look and saw that you assigned Hero Units to National Actions while also keeping a Personal Action in for each of them.
Here, if you want them assigned to a SPECIFIC National Action, you'll have to sacrifice their Personal Actions. 2 P.A. for 1 N.A.
However, as the Quest continues and you continue earning more rep/progress, expect the number of Personal Actions allowed to be taken to increase.
Fixed it up kept Minion and Spencer on national actions, cus Spencer wants to make a good impression and Minion just cus.

Winning vote -- Plan: Setting Up Shop
So I know that voting is closed but I recently discovered this quest and wanted to contribute. I figured we'll eventually need more help besides Minion and Henceman Spencer, so I thought I'd go over characters I feel we could hire in the future. Going through the El Tigre villain roster here are the villains I can see Megamind hiring for either permanently or for specific jobs.
So yeah, those are the El Tigre villains I feel we could either work with or hire.
Cactus Kid
This kid could actually be a good fit for us personality wise. He was a small time supervillain trying to make it big with the power to move Cacti a little, making it look like they were dancing. He sadly was never told how lame that was by his very supportive small hometown so he has a rather cheery attitude. He was also easily fooled by elderly supervillain Puma Loco when he was taken under his wing in an attempt to make his grandson/main characterEl Tigre/Manny jealous after a fight the two had. Once Cactus Kid figured out he was being used however he ended up unlocking a new aspect of his cactus control powers in his anger, being able to create cactus monsters to fight for him.
While the kid did lose and got sent to jail I have to say a henchman with the power to make more henchmen of his own sounds very useful plus despite his cheery attitude he's actually quite enthusiastic about being a supervillain so I can see him being a willing member of the team if we're willing to mentor him a bit.

The Chipotle Family
The Chipotle Family is a group of mad scientists consisting of a the Grandfather, Dr. Chipotle Sr. Sr., Father, Dr. Chipotle Sr. and son Dr. Chipotle Jr.
Their family name comes from their penchant for making monsters, both human and giant sized, from things such as guacamole and jalapeno. Their ability to make monsters out of food would be interesting to figure out, plus besides the lab equipment they just need the guac to make their monsters.
Also fun fact Dr. Chipotle Jr., the ten year old middle schooler, is also an artificial life form having been created in a lab accident at some point before the series. Also before the series started he got jealous of Manny Rivera and his family dymanic, so he made aged up clones of himself to act as father and granfather figures. Not sure how Megamind would feel about that but I feel he'd have to admit that the boy has talent.

Comrade Chaos
I honestly don't have too much to say about this retired supervillain other than he could be useful if we could get him to unretire. He had super strength and acid spit. Just seems like he'd be neat if we decided to hire him.

El Oso
Also not much to say here. The guys backstory is that he got lost on an orphanage fieldtrip in the woods when very young and ended up being raised by bears. He's not that bright but he is very strong and rather persistant. He'd probably be cool with working for us so long as he got paid well enough or was allowed to rob banks in his spare time.

El Tarantula
I don't remember too much about this guy but according to the wiki he lives in the same supervillain retirement home as Comrade Chaos and is basically old villanous Spider-Man. He's got wall crawling and web shooting, out of his rear end unfortunatley. If he could be convinced to come out of retirement I could see him being useful for stealth.

Mano Negra
The last of the retired super villains, this guy's shtick is being a head in a jar piloting a robot body. Honestly the only physical difference between him and Minion is that he has robot hand that lift things hit by the beam of light it shoots, honestly I really only included him because he also live in the supervillain retirement home and I'd feel bad if I didn't mention him.

Senor Siniestro
Honestly this guy could mesh with us very well. This mecha cowboys whole thing is robots, he already has a matching color scheme, and he also has a similar backstory of becoming a supervillain due to a bad school experience. The weird thing though is that while he looks like an adult in costume, he's actually a 13 year old boy piloting cowboy themed power armor. Well that and the very obviously fake Texan accent he uses whenever in costume, I could see that getting old fast.

The Flock of Fury
Finally we have the Flock of Fury, also known as the Aves family. This family of Supervillains don't actually have any powers and mostly use powered wing suits and laser weaponry to perform their crimes. I could see us hiring them with the offer of upgraded tech. The three also each have a fued with a member of the Rivera Family so if they're still around we could get them to work for us if we help them get their revenge.

NATIONAL ACTIONS
FORTIFY YOUR BORDERS
Dice Rolled: 45+3 (Martial)=48
With all the strange happenings of ghosts and aliens unfolding around your little slice of America, you decided that it'd be better safe than sorry to take precautions to avoid any foreign presence wandering into your city.
Minion proved helpful in this instance, dropping off a list of locations that you had (totally not forgotten) stored away machines and other war assets that you kept in reserve for battles against Metro Man. And as luck would have it, those hidden caches were still good for use.
Took a little bit of time and elbow grease to tinker around, but within days, new patrols of DOOM-Bots were sent out to prowl the checkpoints of Michigan while you return back to Metro City with plenty of goodies to work with.
REWARD: You've managed to plant DOOM-Bots along the borders of Michigan and the Great Lakes, establishing key checkpoints to see if anyone coming in or going out of your kingdom isn't a threat to your plans. But you feel like there's always room for further development…
New Actions unlocked to do research and continue work on EVIL plans you kept in reserve.
-5 to Intrigue Actions undertaken by enemies.
PUBLIC RELATIONS
Dice Rolled: 53+3 (Diplomacy) +12 (Spencer's Diplomacy)=68
The people weren't exactly keen on having a supervillain controlling their city, which was like, really dumb. After all, you couldn't rob a bank in broad daylight without Metro Man swooping in to stop the fun, so why would they complain about that now without restrictions? It's just silly.
Luckily, Minion Spencer volunteered (Read: Was ordered) to reach out to the public on his own volition. It took some time to organize a meeting with one irate Roxanne Ritchi, and the interview you watched later that night was a little awkward on Minion Spencer's part. Maaaaaaybe you should've let him know that you were responsible for killing her boyfriend. Whoops.
Still, despite her icy attitude, Roxanne was fair enough to Minion Spencer to let him speak and she seemed surprised to hear about some of the plans you had for Metro City involving increased security with the DOOM-Bots and wanting to let the people know that things won't devolve into total anarchy.
Which is dumb, because why rule over the ashes of a city? You'd have to be really, really dumb to want to be the king of a wasteland.
And it seems that Minion Spencer's words were quite resonating with the people, as you saw a surprising rise in pro-Megamind supporters in Metro City. By 3%, a stunning record from the usual 0!
Oh, and it would seem that Minion Spencer is something of an online celebrity. Turns out he used to be a part of some… webshow?
Huh.
REWARD: Despite the people of Metro City fearing you and your blue-headed genius intellect, Spencer has managed to convey to some that your rule will not be as tyrannical as they would make it out to be. And apparently, his personality is seen by some as charming and fun to get along with.
New Actions unlocked in generating propaganda and other media-related activities.
REACH OUT TO CONGLOM-O CORP
Dice Rolled: 60+2 (Stewardship) +6 (Minion's Stewardship) +5 (TRAIT UNLOCKED: #1 GUY, +5 TO STEWARDSHIP FOR RECOGNIZABILITY)=73
The recent paranormal hauntings cropping up along the Midwest has scared off many people, but those that have stayed behind to brave the storm reap the benefits. One of them being the ever-growing CONGLOM-O Corporation, whose fingers are in many pies, including a few businesses in your own Kingdom.
You weren't exactly the businessman that this CEO guy, some loud frog in a suit, was for CONGLOM-O but you had your own amphibious Minion to negotiate a meeting with the man… frog.
Minion set out with promises of figuring out just what they were dealing with… and came back with half his suit on fire. But he seemed happy to report that CONGLOM-O got the message that they wouldn't be rolling over for their company to expand interests in your Kingdom.
Of course, that raises more concerns with you. If these guys could get away with making a quick buck inside your own borders, what's from stopping you doing the same to other Kingdoms? More importantly… how?
REWARD: Minion has made contact with Conglom-O Corp, which has agreed to leave your domain alone. For now. He has also pointed out to you the need to start looking into ways to establish trading with neighbors.
New Actions unlocked for Stewardship involving trade and economical questions.
INVESTIGATE A REGION (The Midwest)
Dice Rolled: 49+4 (Intrigue)=53
The Midwest has been deemed number one as the most haunted land in the entire world, so sayeth some kids that gather around campfires at midnight. Whether in your house or under your bed, on the streets or dining on exquisite cuisine along long stretches of road, it would seem that these ghosts seem almost unstoppable in their element.
Almost being the key word. Apparently, a group of random people (you're using that term mainly because you can't tell if these guys are either overzealous teens or adults trying to fit in with the young crowd) called the Masters' Blasters going around and catching the ghouls. They've already made an impact in states like Iowa and Missouri, getting rid of most of the ghosts there. But it's still a long way to getting things back to the way they were.
Even you couldn't help but cringe at the latest video posted online about those ghost hunters, and their odd Earth slang while hunting down someone called "Johnny 13" in Illinois. But at the end of the video, you managed to catch a glimpse of the man who rules the Midwest and the founder of Masters' Blasters: Vlad Masters.
"As it stands," you watch him say, a solemn tone to his voice. "I understand some of the people's concerns when it comes to my group of elite ghost hunters catching the paranormal and other weird happenings in our once great country. To which I say that they are necessary for our own security. These… aliens in the North and supercriminals in the South are but one of many problems that have arisen since the Cataclysm, not counting the strange sightings along the West Coast. We have a chance to fend off these ghosts with the technology we have at our disposal, giving us that chance to fight back and reclaim what was once ours. To ensure that no further tragedies will happen again, just like the incident at Amity Park. On my honor, and to the fallen, I swear it."
Amity Park, you muse to yourself. What a funny name.
REWARD: The identity of your neighbor has been revealed: Vlad Masters, a reclusive if eccentric billionaire who operates out of his mansion located in Wisconsin. Not much else is known about him, outside of his private ghost-hunting force called Masters' Blasters being used to corral most of the paranormal activity in his Kingdom.
Actions unlocked to investigate states where paranormal activity is high inside Vlad's Kingdom.
UPGRADE THE DOOM-BOTS
Dice Rolled: 24+28+10 (TRAIT UNLOCKED: GREASE MONKEY, +10 TO LEARNING TO GO BEYOND NORMAL BOUNDARIES AND ACHIEVE SOMETHING THAT MEGAMIND WANTS)=62
And they said that you had let yourself go in the robotics field. Ridiculous! Such slanderous words could not be said without some response to counter it.
Within weeks, the same DOOM-Bots that patrolled the city streets were fitted with new and improved armor and weapons bound to make any intruder say more than just Ouch.
At this point, you were just daring someone foolish enough to try and make a move against you. It'd be hilariously funny to see them fail against the marvels of your intellectual mind.
REWARD: The DOOM-Bots have been upgraded to security and defense patrols around Metro City, managing to blend into the shadows with nary a trace. Enemies will find taking over the city harder than expected with a swarm of floating robots harassing them from every corner.
-10 to foreign powers' attempts to invade and/or occupy Metro City.
CAPTURE A GHOST
Dice Rolled: 20
Huh. You had thought that the ghosts you would find out in the woods of Michigan would be somewhat scary as the ones the Masters' Blasters fought against. But alas…
"BEWARE! I AM THE BOOOOX GHOOOOOOST~"
…they were not.
It wouldn't be as bad if this one didn't come and go at his CONVENIENCE!!
REWARD(?): You have acquired a ghost for your own to study, the Box Ghost, albeit he is free to come and go as he pleases. You'll have to come up with more advanced ways to contain any future hauntings from ghosts of his caliber, or worse…
New Actions have been unlocked to research and develop anti-ghost technology for future insurance.

She takes a moment to compose herself and you find yourself transfixed as well. Pondering on the pain she was going through… and the pain going on inside yourself.
"He was always there for us. Dependable. Perhaps we took him for granted, or maybe... we never really know how good we have it until it's gone. We miss you, Metro Man... I... miss you. And I have just one question for Megamind."
You don't break your gaze from the screen, hands squeezing around the leather armrests of your chair, as Roxanne judges you.
And then… she asks her question.
"Are you happy now?"

+2 to Megamind's Domestic Reputation
GET A TRAINING REGIMEN GOING
Dice Rolled: 46
So apparently, you weren't the most athletic supervillain this side of the Atlantic. Whatever, you still had that gym membership to Planet Fitness lying around here somewhere.
And the staff were really nice to you on your first day, showing you around their training rooms and spa services after coercing them off the floor, and cleaning the mucus and tears off their faces. They offered a training plan which you have been making great strides on, losing about seven pounds your first two weeks and building up endurance via cardio and upper body-strength. If only Metro Man could see you now.
Strangely, your efforts seem to have earned you the ire of someone in the gym, based on them recording and posting a video of you failing to bench press a 30-lb weight without any help nearby. You vow to catch this perpetrator and bring them to VILLAIN JUSTICE!!
REWARD: You have started a biweekly training regimen that has given you some muscle to your noodle limbs. While an improvement, you feel like you can still climb higher to hit your peak.
+2 Increase in Megamind's Martial Skill.
New Action Unlocked: Find the Gym Vandal!
Random Action
Dice Rolled: 19
It would seem that memes have been made about your horrific first attempts at bench pressing the other day. Already, it has become trending across the nation and many of your neighbors see you as a laughingstock.
Oh bother.

So apparently, you weren't the most athletic supervillain this side of the Atlantic. Whatever, you still had that gym membership to Planet Fitness lying around here somewhere.
And the staff were really nice to you on your first day, showing you around their training rooms and spa services after coercing them off the floor, and cleaning the mucus and tears off their faces. They offered a training plan which you have been making great strides on, losing about seven pounds your first two weeks and building up endurance via cardio and upper body-strength. If only Metro Man could see you now.
Strangely, your efforts seem to have earned you the ire of someone in the gym, based on them recording and posting a video of you failing to bench press a 30-lb weight without any help nearby. You vow to catch this perpetrator and bring them to VILLAIN JUSTICE!!
REWARD: You have started a biweekly training regimen that has given you some muscle to your noodle limbs. While an improvement, you feel like you can still climb higher to hit your peak.
+2 Increase in Megamind's Martial Skill.

It would seem that memes have been made about your horrific first attempts at bench pressing the other day. Already, it has become trending across the nation and many of your neighbors see you as a laughingstock.
Oh bother.
