I had a Jenny Sparks design a while back, but I think she was shooting for a generalist leader thing rather than any kind of keyword synergy. I should dig that design up and look it over.
Anyway, the direction feels right here. Probably just needs a little refining. Does he really have SS? Been a while, but I don't remember him being that strong.

I'm totally cool with changing up class. I think if there was determination for synergy, I'd think at least with Apollo would be good. Stormwatch often refers to them Agents, in that they are kind of a black-ops team. Any thoughts on potential class there if cross synergy is to be avoided?
Super strength is probably around Captain America level from what I've seen. Who I'm now remembering does not have the SS designation, so I'll drop that.

Honestly, I think I'd prefer to mainly keep em linked by mechanical and soft synergies rather than by a shared class. Maybe hard keyword synergy between Midnighter and Apollo, but generally I'd try to give em more mechanical reasons to run together rather than hard-coded keyword synergies. I think that makes sense for them as a group, and it opens up army-building possibilities for em. I think the latter is nice for characters that aren't super well-known, and won't have a Marvel/DC-level universe built around them. Gives people a lot more reason to play with them. 
Anyhow, here's what I had for Jenny Sparks:
Quote:
The figure used for this unit is a Heroclix figure from the The Flash set.
Its model number and name are #061 / Jenny Sparks.
NAME = JENNY SPARKS
SECRET IDENTITY =
SPECIES = ENTITY
UNIQUENESS = UNIQUE HERO
CLASS = SPIRIT
PERSONALITY = AUTHORITATIVE
SIZE/HEIGHT = MEDIUM 5
LIFE = 5
MOVE = 5
RANGE = 4
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 6
POINTS = 250?
THE AUTHORITY
After revealing an Order Marker on this card and instead of taking a turn with Jenny Sparks, you may rearrange all Order Markers on Army Cards you control. After rearranging Order Markers, you may move up to 3 Unique Heroes you control that do not have any unrevealed Order Markers on their Army Cards.
ELECTRIC FIELD SPECIAL ATTACK
Range Special. Attack 3.
Before attacking, choose an opponent's figure within 3 spaces of Jenny Sparks. This special attack affects all figures exactly X spaces away from Jenny Sparks, where X is the minimum number of spaces between Jenny Sparks and the chosen figure. Roll 3 attack dice once for all affected figures. Affected figures roll defense dice separately. Androids, Cyborgs, and figures on water spaces roll one fewer defense die against this special attack.
ELECTRICALLY CHARGED
Jenny Sparks rolls 1 fewer defense die when she is on a water space.

Don't love that take anymore (been a couple years), but I think it's at least going for the right notes. I think a leadership power and a big electric special attack are the right things to do here.

I like that idea when it comes to the Wildstorm universe. I like the idea of a general leadership power for Jenny. Maybe allowing no leaving engagement attacks to represent the covert nature of the group?
