Hmm...that might work for legitimately super-powered heroes, such as Spinnerette or Tiger (I THINK Tiger's super-strong, right?), if we assume that it is physically impossible to replicate whatever event caused them to have superpowers (ie. one could not set up the accident that made Spinnerette, gain spider powers from it, and then impersonate Spinnerette). Mecha Maid might be a more blurry area, since she's a tech-based superhero, and technology that has been constructed can be constructed by someone else. But if the legislation says it's enough to establish legal identity, there's nothing at present to disagree.
If we ever have the "[Villain] is impersonating [Superhero] and framing them for crimes they didn't commit! Go [Superhero] and clear your name by capturing the fake version of you!" storyline that superhero comics are fairly fond of, it'll blow that legislation wide open. But you need an actual legal precedent before you can cite it.

& [2]. Okay, who else thinks that this new character is Mecha Maid's Secret Identity?
In other news, Spinnerette vs. Mecha Maid spar, someone protests Spinnerette's current costume, and we finally get some details on Super MILF. (Check this page for ''all'' the strips)

Sounds reasonable although getting into her armour must be an adventure in itself.

She probably has an automated apparatus for that.

Yeah, I'm definitely on board with "That's Mecha Maid." which is awesome because she's cute and Mecha Maid has firmly established herself as my favorite protagonist in this comic. <.<

Same here.
Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.

I'd totally watch this.

Do the words "Secret Identity" even register in your brain?

Now I'm almost certain nifty wheelchair girl will turn out not to be Mecha Maid. Just because of how bad an idea Heather spontaneously outing herself here is.
Edit: also, on closer inspection for deliberate comparison purposes, the eyes are all wrong. Mecha Maid has large, "standard anime" eyes; nifty wheelchair girl has stylized, oriental eyes.

Presumably, the girl in the wheelchair ( if she is Mecha Maid ) could disguise her face with anime-style features, if she already can build a robot suit. If she is Mecha Maid, that is.

Yep it's MM.

Not Actually Indie
So did she earn her black belt in-uniform? I can't see how she could learn martial arts very well while paralyzed.
...eventually, we will reach a maximum entropy state where nobody has their own socks or underwear, or knows who to ask to get them back.

So I did call it right! 
And it actually makes perfect sense for her to emulate Kal-El's method of enforcing stark contrast between the personalities of his Clark Kent identity and his Superman one.
I think having the thing that allows you to move being that exposed is going to bite her in the ass later.
Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.

Now I'm wondering about the eyes again. Can she not open her eyes all the way without her headset, or does she just choose not to? Also, does the headset somehow allow her to move her legs, or is part of her armor responsible for that?

I see the Awesomeness.
I don't think she can open her eyes all the way.
Fight smart, not fair.
Queen of Good Things, Honest
I'm at work, so I can't go back to check at the moment: did it say how paralyzed she is? How much can she move her upper body?
I am full of questions.

You know, the headset she wears in the latest strip is actually a much darker shade than the one she wears as Mecha Maid. Maybe the latter is a different model that avoids the aforementioned Fridge Logic?
on a horse
Why does she have a fang in the last panel? I like the design on the new girl, I'll admit.
Queen of Good Things, Honest
Well, that answers all of my questions. T.T

superpowers would be fairly hard to duplicate, they themselves would act to prove identity
