Thanks
zapallbugs and
EpicLust. It looks like to get the ball rolling I need to get the next mission. And I just figured out how to! I need to speak to Captain MILF in the hall. Speaking to her anywhere else doesn't work, nor does speaking to Audit Girl in the hall, nor the police captain who gives you your first mission. I've got to say this is quite an unintuitive step, so I recommend putting it somewhere on the main page.
Before I have to restart the game again, can I confirm whether it presently matters what bonus power I take on character creation? For the hero route it seems you need to take super resistance in order to complete the Wonder Woman board game quest, but on the villain route you can get that from Emma Frost.
