The powers-don't-work scenario would most likely attract the involvement of the Lair Legion, so people would wonder why they didn't get involved.





That sounds like something for Yuki to deal with.





Yuki or Psychis Samurai, mostly, but Lara has a few vigilante tendencies as well. The only time she ever killed someone back home was someone with that kind of unreachability and arrogance.





Lara would be the only one capable of dealing with that, except there would have to be a reason the LL doesn't get involved. If she knows they're vulnerable to him and it would be too dangerous if they were involved, maybe.





Similar to above, except Chiaki also has a habit of getting involved with those kind.





I actually had one, kind of, with Marvellous Marv, but I kind of wore the concept out and I need something new.

I suppose one thing I can use in separating Lara from the Lair Legion is the reason she wouldn't join: Publicly because she says they can't rely on her all the time, but she also fears attracting greater and greater threats to the LL. She sees they're already nearly over there heads with each successive Big Bad.

Maybe she might go out on her own to protect them, because she feels she has unique and unpredictable powers that a Big Bad hasn't prepared for, and if she fails, hey, there's still the LL healthy and safe. Occasionally I can use the LL has already failed scenario but I have to be careful not to wear that out.
