Also the only way for this to not be first come first served kinda thing is to have sectors to patrol (Which would mean the LoSRHs would get a sandbox or a garbage dump) or have specific villains and crimes to deal with,
which would Again leave the League to the lowest of the low: telemarketing scammers.
Now that you mention it, why don’t superheroes specialize in certain types of crimes? Cops do it. Generally speaking specialists are more effective in their chosen fields than generalists, and lord knows there are more than enough heroes running around for every type of crime to be covered. Only specialized heroes I know are Spy-Smasher (who becomes largely irrelevant during peacetime), Serial!Green Hornet (who exclusively fought racketeers but was also the only hero in his universe, making specialization somewhat less helpful), and Rescue (who doesn’t technically fight crime).
Like, if you’re a homicide supe and you stumble upon a bank robbery, there’s no reason you should be obligated to just sit there with your thumb up your arse and do nothing, but it’d be nice to know that a guy who’s an expert on stopping bank robbers is on call anyway, and you won’t have to worry about being called halfway across town to stop a bank job when you’re in the middle of hunting a murderer.
I too wish to learn more about ConSumo. Does he have some kind of Kirby deal going on? Does he just consume a lot of food, like actual sumos? “Con” means “with” in Spanish, so is his name just meant to be ready to add to a partner’s for a team name, as in “Drop Shadow Con Sumo?” Okay I want to like this guy but I’m running out of material here…
Consumo’s power is the power of Consumerism. It makes your body big, you know…
Then you can wisely exploit the power of gravity thanks to the teachings of Confusion, a famous philosopher who managed to get everyone confused and also developed fake nukes.
And thus he spoke “…Obadiah, his servants.

If you’re not already out patrolling, you’re going to be slow on the draw.
“would’ve come earlier but someone took forever to fit her tits in her corset”
She was obviously in a hurry, since she left most of them outside of it…
Yeah, I don’t think the corset “contains” them so much as it just provides a shelf for them to sit on.
ConSumo looks like an idiot.

I thought the Evil Savant team were their arch-nemesis…
Screw you, Consumo is awesome.
…and anyone who takes down telemarketing scammers gets a like from me.
Who needs superheros? Just trick the telemarketers into calling Bun Bun.

They need an agent.
“The crime was stopped ages ago.”
Like, several ages ago. Around the start of the Golden Age, to be exact.
So why are those two there, if they knew the crime would’ve been stopped long before they got there?
They got there a few minutes ago and were told by the about-to-leave team before them, who were informed by the team before them, etc.
It’s like working for the governement or your local state/county-equivalent: showing up is more important than getting the work done.
Oh. And meetings and planning of course. No spandex though.
Is ConSumo’s power consuming things? or is he just popular at Cons?

Con means con in English, so it might be reverse psychology or he might want as to think that it is. Or not.
I’d assume his powers are more in line with Matter Eater Lad, except maybe he’s also very strong?

Who else is happy to see Drop Shadow, being obvious what famous pulp fiction hero he is parodying?
I wonder if he also knows what lurks in… any kind of human organ…
At least he wears his mask right.
Ironically, that’s not how the character he’s parodying wore his mask.
Uh? He’s not John Travolta, nor Samuel L. Jackson, nor Uma Thurman, nor..
Ok, he must be Maria de Medeiros. My all time favorite and the only thing that makes that movie worth watching (sincerely).
Plot Twist: ConSumo and Drop Shadow are the criminals.
That’s my suspicion at least, but let Christian Girl judge, after all she has divine ultra-powers: she must know better *wink, wink*
I love ConSumo’s pose!
