Well, I just found this and caught up. Pretty good stuff, like the best aspects of Armored Adventures crossed with some really cool Practical Superheroing. I would probably like to have a discussion with Liv about gender-definition-as-social-technology, but that's probably not on-topic for this thread.
(Actually this is probably just another roleswap. Still.)
Anyway, things I'd like to get around to:
The Darkhawk Crystal is basically an AI Liv is keeping prisoner. The aftermath of Aaron might be a good time to pull it out and give it a proper hearing? Kind of a really terrible thing to have forgotten the possibly-sapient alien, honestly.
Tech trade with Justine. Getting access to her nerve hookups should help with Custom Prosthetic 3.0, she should get Liv's help optimizing her stuff, and it's about time Liv got a wingsuit and stealth systems. The Arc Reactor might be a bit too militarily-useful to try fronting through Justine, but getting her a copy might also be good?
Oh, and copying the plasma concussives from I-don't-actually-know-the-name in the UK would be cool. Possibly not as useful as making another Romanoff Special fully-automatic-webtaser, but more options are always good, right?
Interrogating the Darkhawk Crystal is kind of a big deal, though. Why has Liv just been sitting on that for a year, when it's a solid lead on the dimensional experiments? Was this covered in stuff that didn't get threadmarked?
As for the anime vote. For the Classic one, it's a tossup between the mecha show I've barely heard of and Eizouken, so - actually, is it okay if I approval-vote? If yes, I'll vote for both.
[X] Something ancient. Metal Skin Panic MADOX-01? That's the coolest robot you've ever seen!
[ ] Something recent-ish. Heh, you like that girl's hat, let's try Keep your hands off Eizouken!
For the write-in, I've been thinking. Heroman isn't terrible, but does feel very appropriate on a meta level. Is it an acceptable write-in, @open_sketch? It may not be the experience you're looking for, but it seems so appropriate that I want to rec it anyway.

Shouldn't that be, like, 20/10 at least? Liv's got superstrength, and no real reason it shouldn't also apply to her eyemuscles. Maybe she just doesn't know it gets better than 20/20.
Think you meant fateful. Complimenting the Amerikabomber seems like the sort of typo that might bother you.
Isn't Liv really good at chemistry, going by the silk and the material from the Darkhawk analysis? Shouldn't she be trying to make some kind of other, more specific painkiller? Topical would probably be best. I guess her later-revealed disinterest in biology also explains why she's hasn't figured out a better hormone drug, though.
Super-shivering should probably help a lot with that, but maybe Liv's enhancile biology is very good at avoiding waste heat - dumping it extradimensionally, perhaps. If only she weren't so squicked out by biology, she might find an extremely powerful complement to the arc reactor.
By the way, how long do Liv's webs last? Given how interested the police are in finding her, one would presume someone's been trying to track her by the webs she just leaves hanging around. Bit concerned. She should start leaving from different areas, probably. Sewer travel?
Oh, so Liv's actually dating Mayday. Hi Mayday!
(Actually this is probably just another roleswap. Still.)
Can anyone remind me who Liz is? Not Officer Knight, probably. One of the anarcho-catgirls running Athena's warehouse?
The W.I.T.C.H. GNs were actually quite good. I've heard the Disney adaptation was deeply unworthy, though.
