This is for that meme where someone gives you seven actors and you make up a tv show starring them. Cast given by verbosewordsmith. Show has no title because that was too hard and I am lazy \o/ but it's about awesome superheroes so who the fuck cares.
Chelsea Kane as Melissa Peters aka OmniGirl
OmniGirl is perceived as the leader by the public, mostly because she's the most enthusiastic about the importance of having an Image. The rest of the group is happy to let her take on that role provided she doesn't start assuming leadership away from the cameras, although by virtue of being quietly persuasive things tend to get done her way more often than not.
OmniGirl shapeshifts, a power she considers far more useful for her inability to stay happy with a haircut for more than a week than for fighting crime. She tends to use her power more for information-gathering and getting into secure locations than for actual fighting; shifting into anything bigger or stronger than her usual body is takes enough out of her she's not much use in a fight.
Ayla Kell as Annie White aka Psychic Blow
Psychic Blow is a hero conflicted. The criminals they fight are unambiguously bad people who need to be stopped, but she feels that using 2/3 of her powers - telepathy and thought control - is an unfair violation. She's happy using her telekinesis, but it's not as useful as the other two powers. She'll use telepathy in emergencies, but only if someone's life is on the line. Psychic Blow concentrates more on physicality, building her strength up and learning fighting techniques, than on her powers.
Heather Hemmens as Sierra Ramirez aka Ice Queen
Ice Queen used to go by Frigid Bitch before Jordan convinced her it made selling her as a hero a little harder to some demographics. Ice Queen thinks it would be fun to sell a line of FRIGID BITCH t-shirts to little girls, but picks her battles and doesn't push. Heahther has freeze-ray vision and can make ice at will, which is useful in fights and in the bedroom (…and in bedroom fights???). Openly bisexual. Takes hero-ing much less seriously than some, making her Psychic Blow's go-to person when Psychic Blow is conflicted about her power-related ethics vs the importance of what she could do with her powers.
Alia Shawkat as Dana Harris aka Mockingbird
Mockingbird is an "ends justify the means" person, and frequently clashes with the other three over how to go about fighting crime. Growing tension with Psychic Blow in particular drives a rift between her and the other three. Mockingbird can steal other people's powers and has absolutely no qualms about doing so whenever she feels the need (or want).
Don Glover as Jordan Moore
Once a superhero-obsessed blogger, now the group's publicist after a few run-ins with villains who knew how to spin things led OmniGirl to hire him. He lives with the girls, finds work for them, finds and compiles intelligence, helps plan missions, and writes press releases. Steadfastly refuses to make coffee, pick up dry cleaning, or be anybody's goddamn Alfred.
Chord Overstreet as Will Stevens aka MegaLad
A bit of a Superman-lite, MegaLad is the group's rival for the hearts and minds of the people. Backed by the mayor and pushed as a clean-cut all-American truth justice and the American way sort, he's also dopey, good-natured, and easily manipulated. The girls have rescued him more than once on his own missions; after the third time the story that went to press was one of MegaLad and only MegaLad triumphing over evil, OmniGirl hired Jordan.
Joel McHale as the mayor
Your standard cardboard cut-out unscrupulous politician. Is invested in MegaLad as The Superhero because he feels that image is a more electable one to get behind. Probably he has some other motivations for stuff. Mostly he is just kind of a fucking annoyance. IDK.
In the first season: The girls fight crime in the form of ridic OTT villains. OmniGirl's alter-ego meets MegaLad's alter-ego in a Starbucks and there is flirting. It takes three dates for OmniGirl to realize he doesn't actually know she's OmniGirl (she knows who he is. His disguise is just a pair of Buddy Holly glasses, come on). After Psychic Blow refuses to use her thought control to defuse a tense situation, Ice Queen is shot in the arm. This heightens the tension between Psychic Blow and Mockingbird, who insists that Psychic Blow as good as shot Ice Queen herself. OmniGirl decides to continue dating MegaLad without telling him who she really is.
The season finale consists of MegaLad finding out who OmniGirl actually is, Mockingbird stealing Psychic Blow's power to find hostages only to find out the thoughts she'd read led them right into a trap, Ice Queen and Jordan hooking up where they're actually being held hostage, and finally the girls kicking Mockingbird out of the group for using Psychic Blow's power against her will, creating a fearsome new enemy.

Donglover's character is my faaaaavorite. Running around after super girls! Trying to control the spin! Getting them a comic book deal and calling the mayor's office to rub it in that they beat MegaLad to comic books! Reminding them that he is not their butler every single time they ask him to do anything! And then usually doing it anyway!
