Okay I wanted to make this thread to basically ask two questions

  • How can an organize crime outfit be made to be like the typical antagonists of a magical girl anime (MGGD or otherwise, though the nature of the concept leans towards the former), at last as far as their Modus Operandi goes.
  • What kind of scenarios would result form a conflict between hardened criminals such as these and magically-empowered maidens of love and justice?

For context, its for a novel I'm writing. The mob gangs are themed after horror icons (The Invisible Man, Dracula and the Mummy being notable influences there) and there is a Pieces of God plot in play. The setting is Urban Fantasy.

Well, one thing coming to mind:

The "Invisible League" might have a uniform-code among its members. Going with the original Invisible Man.

In other words:

Magic hats. Men's Satin neckties. Polarized sunglasses. Thick plush scarfs. Men's fitted overcoats. Cotton marching gloves. Men's dress shirts. Men's black khakis. Bulk pack gauze. Oxford dress shoes.

This is used as an unisex-dress code so both men and women of this "league" is dressed in the same thing.

And as a magic power among the members.

"Incognito": They can't be seen when looked at, turning invisible except for the clothing they wear at the time.

They are fully visible whenever anyone isn't looking at them. But the moment they're spotted, they vanish into thin air.

It makes them into quite fearsome streaking-strikers.

Does using seemingly mundane organized crime as a front count?

If not I suppose that selling drugs that turn people into monsters or something along those lines would.
