Title: Velveteen vs. The Robot Armies of Dr. Walter Creelman, DDS.
Summary: The continuing adventures of a former child superheroine and her allies, who include Rainbow Brite's lesbian little sister, an escapee from a Rankin-Bass cartoon, and a deeply irritated Victorian gadgeteer with a raygun that used to be a toaster. No, really.

Super-Patriots Inc. had better go carefully there. The team's in Oregon, which means crimes committed against then go to Oregon state courts. (Diffuse was spying but that's not illegal if handled carefully; a telepathic probe probably is illegal.)
