!!The Inscrutable Machine
[[folder:Bad Penny]]
!!Penny Akk/Bad Penny
->''"I hadn't intended to be a legend as a supervillain, but now The Inscrutable Machine had a reputation to maintain, and a lot of fun to have in the process."''
The main viewpoint character, as well as MadScientist and leader of the group. She really, ''really'' wants to be a hero, but due to some bad luck with Miss A, that becomes less and less likely as the story goes on. Her power lets her intuitively create most anything she desires, though she has difficulty understanding precisely what she does. Her first invention was the Machine, a small insect-like device that wraps around her wrist, designed to recycle anything.
----
* TheLeader: Apparently, it's not uncommon for the MadScientist to be the leader of super teams. She's definitely the level-headed one of the trio, and her leadership is good enough that Mech assumes the name "the Inscrutable Machine" is a reference to their teamwork rather than their technology.
* MadScientist: Mostly when she's in her MadnessPlace, but she does admit to enjoying the evil ranting even when she's not using her power.
* ScienceHero: Her inventions form the core of the team in every single way. Her Super Cheerleader Serum gave Ray powers and unlocked Claire's, her energy gloves give Ray his energy blasts, and her sticky gloves and frictionless pads give Claire her battlefield control and mobility.
* SparkOfGenius: When she tries to put it into words, it all falls apart, but she can still get a handle on what she's doing if she just lets it happen. She also has a lot of difficulty making mundane objects or repeating inventions, which she finds annoying.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Reviled]]
!!Ray Viles/Reviled
Penny's male friend, known for his eternal grin and completely out of place British accent. After listening to Penny while she made the Super Cheerleader Serum, he drank the rest, and received impressive enhancements to his strength, agility, and endurance.
----
* {{Badass}}: The Serum made him strong and fast, and he ''owned'' those enhancements. He can even take on a master swordsman like Witch Hunter without too much difficulty.
* StepfordSmiler: There is something ''deeply'' wrong with his home life, but he keeps a smile on at all times.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:E-Claire]]
!!Claire Lutra/E-Claire
Penny's female friend, daughter of the supervillain/hero the Minx. She was well set to inherit her mother's powers, but unintentionally accelerated the process when she begged Penny for a serum to enhance her physical abilities.
----
* CutenessProximity: Her power, instead of inspiring lust in males, inspires this in everyone. [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway It's helpful, but not as much as you'd think]].
* FanGirl: She loves supers, and follows most of their activities online. This is pretty useful, since she can identify most of the people they fight on sight.
* GenerationXerox: Penny says she couldn't look more like her mother if she was a clone.
* PowerIncontinence: It's very difficult for her to keep a lid on her power. Apparently, Lucyfar stopped over the night she got her powers, and spent ten minutes just watching her sleep before Claire's mom took pity on her and dragged her away.
[[/folder]]
!!Parents
[[folder:Brain Auk]]
!!Briak Akk/Brain Auk
Penny's father, and one of the most well-known super geniuses in the world. Also one of the few capable of understanding his own inventions.
----
* MadScientist: Subverted. While mundane scientists can't understand anything except his most basic work, ''he'' can, which puts him a step above most mad scientists. With effort, he can even write blueprints that normal science and engineering can replicate.
* MagicVersusScience: He refuses to believe in magic, and repeatedly finds ways to explain it semi-coherently using science. Apparently, this is not an uncommon mindset amongst scientists.
* SwearJar: There are two jars in his house. One that he puts a dollar into every time he calls his daughter "Pumpkin," and another he puts five in every time he calls her "Princess."
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Audit]]
!!Beatrice Benevolent Akk/The Audit
Penny's mother, a retired superheroine who claims to have no powers at all.
----
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: She can dodge bullets by being where they're not, and when she sees a car chase calls the police to tell them where to set up the road block.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: She insists she has no powers, and that what she does is the same as Sherlock Holmes or a chess grandmaster. Most mundanes don't believe it, but it seems supers largely agree with her.
* CombatPragmatist: Penny makes constant references to criminals surrendering rather than fighting her. Bull mentions that she fought him by stuffing sand in his eyes, nose, and ears, tricking him into punching a telephone pole and electrocuting himself, and then hit him with a bus.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Minx]]
!!Misty Lutra/The Minx
Claire's mother, a former supervillain who switched sides before she retired. She has very powerful lust powers and a cheerful demeanor that can be tiring at times.
----
* CharmPerson: Her power inspires lust and devotion. It's not clear if this only works on males.
* ClassyCatBurglar: She was a thief, and a very good one. It's not clear if agility was part of her powerset, but Penny does note that she's never seen her drop anything.
* SecretKeeper: She knows that the kids have already come into their powers, and is more than happy to keep it a secret.
[[/folder]]
!!Heroes
[[folder:Mech
!!Mech
An armored superhero who works very closely with Penny's father, he personally congratulates Penny on her powers flashing for the first time.
----
* {{Expy}}: A pretty clear ComicBook/IronMan one.
* TheSparkOfGenius: The extent of his abilities is unclear, but he mentions that his armor is his first and greatest invention, which he's never been able to truly replicate.

A six-winged angelic hero who is initially called in by Miss A to fight the Inscrutable Machine. Once he realizes it's just a grudge match, he refuses to fight, and carries his defeated allies out.
He has a blog which is quite popular, but doesn't talk about his past. Lucyfar insists he is the Archangel Gabriel, her divine brother, which he has neither confirmed nor denied. They clearly have some connection, though; he's been able to talk her down from crimes a few times, and they may or may not be dating.
----
* ArchangelGabriel: According to Lucyfar.
* DatingCatwoman: Again, according to Lucyfar. At the very least, he's not antagonistic with her.
-->Rushing over to open it, Lucyfar squealed, "No time to talk about it. My date is here!" Seriously, she squealed. Who were the thirteen-year-olds here?\\
We filed out onto the rooftop after her as a mass of white wings fluttered down out of the sky. They tucked behind Gabriel's back as he landed, only slightly out of the way.\\
"So, you two are dating?" Claire asked pointedly, giving them both a hopefully questioning grin.\\
Her powers didn’t do her much good this time. "Yes!" Lucyfar declared immediately, throwing herself onto Gabriel and wrapping her arms around him.\\
"No," he contradicted, standing stiff and disapproving.\\
"Yes!" Lucyfar repeated, nodding like a bobble-head.\\
"No," Gabriel insisted, just like last time.
* WingedHumanoid: Six, like a seraphim.

[[folder:Lucyfar]]
!!Lucyfar
A girl with powers over shadow and darkness, Lucyfar claims to be Lucifer, Princess of Lies, first and most damned child of creation. Whether it's true or not is unclear (Penny's father certainly thinks it isn't), but she has some surprising powers when she gets serious.
She also has an unclear connection to Gabriel, who she claims is the Archangel Gabriel, her divine brother. They might be dating, but even if they're not, she clearly cares for him deeply.
----
* DatingCatwoman: She's the Catwoman in her relationship with Gabriel. Whether they're actually dating is unclear, but she certainly acts like it.
* GenkiGirl: She squeals and laughs a lot.
* TheGlomp: The first thing she does when she sees Gabriel is give him a huge hug, and she clearly had no intention of letting go anytime soon.
* {{Satan}}: She claims to be the Archangel Lucifer herself. Most people don't believe it, but her wings, immunity to magic, and crown of black fire certainly lend weight to her claim.
* WingedHumanoid: Skeletal wings tipped with knives, which only come out when she [[OneWingedAngel gets serious]].

!!The Inscrutable Machine
[[folder:Bad Penny]]
!!Penny Akk/Bad Penny
->''"I hadn't intended to be a legend as a supervillain, but now The Inscrutable Machine had a reputation to maintain, and a lot of fun to have in the process."''
The main viewpoint character, as well as MadScientist and leader of the group. She really, ''really'' wants to be a hero, but due to some bad luck with Miss A, that becomes less and less likely as the story goes on. Her power lets her intuitively create most anything she desires, though she has difficulty understanding precisely what she does. Her first invention was the Machine, a small insect-like device that wraps around her wrist, designed to recycle anything.
----
* TheLeader: Apparently, it's not uncommon for the MadScientist to be the leader of super teams. She's definitely the level-headed one of the trio, and her leadership is good enough that Mech assumes the name "the Inscrutable Machine" is a reference to their teamwork rather than their technology.
* MadScientist: Mostly when she's in her MadnessPlace, but she does admit to enjoying the evil ranting even when she's not using her power.
* ScienceHero: Her inventions form the core of the team in every single way. Her Super Cheerleader Serum gave Ray powers and unlocked Claire's, her energy gloves give Ray his energy blasts, and her sticky gloves and frictionless pads give Claire her battlefield control and mobility.
* SparkOfGenius: When she tries to put it into words, it all falls apart, but she can still get a handle on what she's doing if she just lets it happen. She also has a lot of difficulty making mundane objects or repeating inventions, which she finds annoying.

[[folder:Reviled]]
!!Ray Viles/Reviled
Penny's male friend, known for his eternal grin and completely out of place British accent. After listening to Penny while she made the Super Cheerleader Serum, he drank the rest, and received impressive enhancements to his strength, agility, and endurance.
----
* {{Badass}}: The Serum made him strong and fast, and he ''owned'' those enhancements. He can even take on a master swordsman like Witch Hunter without too much difficulty.
* StepfordSmiler: There is something ''deeply'' wrong with his home life, but he keeps a smile on at all times.

[[folder:E-Claire]]
!!Claire Lutra/E-Claire
Penny's female friend, daughter of the supervillain/hero the Minx. She was well set to inherit her mother's powers, but unintentionally accelerated the process when she begged Penny for a serum to enhance her physical abilities.
----
* CutenessProximity: Her power, instead of inspiring lust in males, inspires this in everyone. [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway It's helpful, but not as much as you'd think]].
* FanGirl: She loves supers, and follows most of their activities online. This is pretty useful, since she can identify most of the people they fight on sight.
* GenerationXerox: Penny says she couldn't look more like her mother if she was a clone.
* PowerIncontinence: It's very difficult for her to keep a lid on her power. Apparently, Lucyfar stopped over the night she got her powers, and spent ten minutes just watching her sleep before Claire's mom took pity on her and dragged her away.

!!Parents
[[folder:Brain Auk]]
!!Briak Akk/Brain Auk
Penny's father, and one of the most well-known super geniuses in the world. Also one of the few capable of understanding his own inventions.
----
* MadScientist: Subverted. While mundane scientists can't understand anything except his most basic work, ''he'' can, which puts him a step above most mad scientists. With effort, he can even write blueprints that normal science and engineering can replicate.
* MagicVersusScience: He refuses to believe in magic, and repeatedly finds ways to explain it semi-coherently using science. Apparently, this is not an uncommon mindset amongst scientists.
* SwearJar: There are two jars in his house. One that he puts a dollar into every time he calls his daughter "Pumpkin," and another he puts five in every time he calls her "Princess."

[[folder:The Audit]]
!!Beatrice Benevolent Akk/The Audit
Penny's mother, a retired superheroine who claims to have no powers at all.
----
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: She can dodge bullets by being where they're not, and when she sees a car chase calls the police to tell them where to set up the road block.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: She insists she has no powers, and that what she does is the same as Sherlock Holmes or a chess grandmaster. Most mundanes don't believe it, but it seems supers largely agree with her.
* CombatPragmatist: Penny makes constant references to criminals surrendering rather than fighting her. Bull mentions that she fought him by stuffing sand in his eyes, nose, and ears, tricking him into punching a telephone pole and electrocuting himself, and then hit him with a bus.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:The Minx]]
!!Misty Lutra/The Minx
Claire's mother, a former supervillain who switched sides before she retired. She has very powerful lust powers and a cheerful demeanor that can be tiring at times.
----
* CharmPerson: Her power inspires lust and devotion. It's not clear if this only works on males.
* ClassyCatBurglar: She was a thief, and a very good one. It's not clear if agility was part of her powerset, but Penny does note that she's never seen her drop anything.
* SecretKeeper: She knows that the kids have already come into their powers, and is more than happy to keep it a secret.

!!Heroes
[[folder:Mech
!!Mech
An armored superhero who works very closely with Penny's father, he personally congratulates Penny on her powers flashing for the first time.
----
* {{Expy}}: A pretty clear ComicBook/IronMan one.
* TheSparkOfGenius: The extent of his abilities is unclear, but he mentions that his armor is his first and greatest invention, which he's never been able to truly replicate.
