* DivineParentage: Jules is descended from a heroic lineage that dates back to ancient Greek mythology. At the beginning of the book, she's using her diluted powers of strategy to be an extremely efficient office worker at the supervillainy office, in part because there are several groups that hunt heroes. By the end of the book, she's considerably upgraded.

''Lair for Rent'' (2019) is the first book in a series being written by Skyler Grant. Walter ([[FunWithAcronyms Wealth Accumulator and Liquidity Trap Evasion Routine]]) is brought to life by Niles, a rogue hacker who learned that a supercomputer named Patriot with undefined powers is somewhere in the lower levels, but ran afoul of mutant bikers who currently hold the neighborhood. Having revived Walter to run the defense systems, they're reluctant allies who quickly accrue several villainous compatriots, as well as supervillain renters.
Walter doesn't care so much about heroes and villains, but as former accounting software, he's obsessed with accruing more money, and this venture seems profitable.
