The Pro Tempore is a member of the Unholy Days, a group of low-powered villains who are themed around various holidays and special calendar events.  His (or possibly her) chosen time is Administrative Professionals' Day.  He (or possibly she) is a whiz at paperwork and bureaucracy, able to penetrate any organization to assist his (or possibly her) allies.  Pro Tempore presents as male, but is androgynous enough in appearance that many people suspect that person is actually a woman.  PT refuses to dignify any questions on the subject with a response, pointing out that biological sex is irrelevant to most office jobs.
 
The Headmaster may know for sure, but isn't telling.

The Mysterious Duck Man used Lake Haney as his base of operations to put the fear of ducks in organized crime. Attacking out of the shadows, this enigmatic hero was known by his catch phrase, "It's time for terror in the night."

Octagon aka Marshall Jens is a perennial member of the Crazy Eights, having served on the first, third, fifth, sixth and current eighth lineups.  His primary powers are being stronger and tougher than most normal people, which he has supplemented with combat training and a variety of gadgets (what sort of gadgets depends on the villain he's working for this month and whether they've paid him recently.)  He also has the ability to place himself in suspended animation for a day or two, most often used to escape prison.
 
Octagon is pretty pragmatic and sensible for someone in a group that has "crazy" in the name--he often accomplishes the actual goal while his more colorful associates distract everyone.

Geokinetic aka Milsom Cardigan, is a mutant who is able to control any metal or mineral that is touching the Earth--but only so long as he himself isn't touching the ground.  This makes his jetpack a tempting target for savvy opponents.

If you feel that people are trying to bully you into identifying yourself as a cis male, you are overly sensitive (I know that commenting on the validity of other peoples feeling is not PC, but I thought you would appreciate that).
 
The terms cis male and cis female are used primarily in LGBT discussions, and by people trying to give an LGBT perspective on a particular issue.  Now it is fine to say "hand me the wrench" when you are dealing with a small toolbox which has only one kind of wrench.  When your tool box contains a socket wrench, a crescent wrench, a pipe fitter wrench, a monkey wrench and assorted combination wrenches it pays to be specific when asking for a wrench.  The LGBT world has a lot of types of wrenches.  Having a quick way of indicating that you are talking about someone whose biological sex, gender identity, and sexuality all match up with societal expectation can be very helpful at times.
 
Now, you want your personal gender/sexuality combo to the default, requiring no prefix even in LGBT discussions, while all other gender variants receive some sort of label (homo, bi, trans, cross dressing, etc.).  Well I can see why you would want that, but I can't see why the LGBT should concede that to you.  Certainly not if your best argument is to point to chromosomes.  You've already conceded that alternate gender/sexuality have been shown different neurologically structures compared to the "norm".  This has been established by multiple studies.  It is a fact as you say.  That it might be quicker to do a chromosome test or look at what is between someones legs than do a head CT, is irrelevant.  As I pointed out the cis prefix outside of organic chemistry is used mostly in discussion of gender identity and sexuality.  Neurological structures often trump gross anatomy in these matters and it is perfectly legitimate that the language of these discussions reflect this.
 
 
Boldly stated, but mostly BS, and totally BS in the current context.  
 
Language is the battlefield upon which wars of idea if fought.  However, it is also common ground upon which peace treaties for those wars are forged.  If one side totally wins the linguistic war, then your soldiers are terrorist, your religion is heresy and your natural sexual practices are perversions.  At that point, your conscience, expressions and thoughts are truly straight jacketed.  However, what passes for political correctness is not at that point.  It is mostly just an effort to be polite to others who are different than you and yours. Having the linguistic tools to respectfully speak to one another is an aid to open dialogue, not an impediment. The restrictions that are placed by mainstream PC speech* are rarely a serious impediment to free expressions of ideas unless the idea that is being expressed is that their group of people is inferior to your group of people.  
 
Certainly the term cis gendered poses little danger of straight jacketeding expression.  It is merely a particular gender/sexuality that happens to be yours and you want it to be the default even in discussions where a range of gender identities are being discussed.  Well tough. You don't get to have it that way.
 
 
 
*Note the description of wives as "unpaid sex workers" never caught on and has never been the official PC term for them

Yep, I think so.  There is, of course, some validity to concerns  about language policing, but far too often complaining about "political correctness" is a stalking horse for "I want to be able to be just as horrible towards people who aren't like me as I was before, and not get called out on it."

The Hobgoblin of Little Minds was originally a primary school grammar teacher known for her strictness and eventually kicked out for physical abuse of the students.  Her Stand is "Wordcrimes", which punishes any misuse of language (by the Hobgoblin's standards) in poetically appropriate ways.

Knockoff no longer knows his/her/its real name--Knockoff's powers allow him to turn into a copy of any other person, with most of their memories, skills, and powers, but an inferior version twisted towards petty crime.  Knockoff's ability to stay in any form is inversely proportional to their power level--he could hold the shape of a helpless infant for up to a year but Doctor Destroyer for only a second.  When Knockoff runs out of time on a form or is knocked out, he/she/it reverts to the last previous form that still has some time on it (usually that helpless infant.)

Alkaid was once better known as Meriem Ha'aqua, a serving girl in a Moroccan casino.  Treated poorly by her employers, she was constantly on the edge of starvation.  She began filching food from the buffet set out for the casino guests.  Eventually she was caught, and the casino's cruel owner poured a caustic mixture down her throat as an "ironic" method of murder.  It was at this point that her powers kicked in, allowing her to spew acids or alkaline mixtures from her mouth and nose.  She took over the casino for a short while, until the owner's silent partners showed up with ways to counter her abilities.
 
She was barely alive when the Behanians collected her for their group.  Her interest is in items that create food and drink, locking them away from the world so that no one can enjoy them--as her powers have destroyed her senses of taste and smell.

And this was totally unexpected.

Hapon Goldentongue was once Hattie Goldfarb, who always hated that she had to give up her chance at musical stardom when her mother fell ill, and she had to take care of the old woman.  She lived her rock and roll fantasies through her bard character, but now her magical music is very real.  (In real life, Hattie is only modestly talented at music, the kind of person who gets torn apart by the judges on American Idol.)
 
 
And now team #250, the America Smashers!
 
They come from the year 2026, the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.  Sadly, in the alternate timeline they come from the world has become a dystopia ruled by a United States gone mad with power.  Clearly the only way to stop this from happening is to use a one-way time machine to go back to 1776 and prevent America from ever coming to be.  Problem is that as they were leaving, a Freedom Police raid entered their hideaway and the controls were damaged by gunfire.  So the America Smashers must somehow destroy the United States in 2014.
 
So, five superhumans dedicated to destroying America, but their costumes, powersets and codenames were meant to fit in in the Thirteen Colonies.   Worse, they no longer remember the precise series of events that led up to the US becoming world dictator--they think chronal leakage.

Dr. Headshrinker is also known by several other aliases, all names of famous psychiatrists and psychologists.  (He needs to switch locations a lot.)  His job is helping costumed criminals with their mental problems, from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder through a need to leave rhyming clues for the hero, to certain sexual hangups even villains would rather not talk about in public.   While he's a skilled psychiatrist, it's not known if he ever held a legitimate license to practice.  It is known that he has mild hypnotic abilities, not so much that he has a very slow gradual Mental Transformation power which he uses to give his patients temporary relief from their worst symptoms.

Polarizer aka Yussuf Dwani has magnetic abilities, but due to a curse placed on him by the Winter King, can only use those powers in summer.  Unlike some of the other Sunshine Boys, he travels to the Southern Hemisphere to work during their summer as well.

Luke as girl: A strong willed high society dame gets to choose between a  bad boy and a sweet but spunky country girl?

Ayup.  I've seen this attitude before.  To put it another way, they're like the mayor in "Jaws":  "If we warn people about the shark attacks, people will think we have a shark problem!"

Ukranian sand art.  The first bit is standard reality show filler, but once she starts using the shifting sand to tell a story....

Have now turned in my final homework, and must now wait to see if my grades are good enough to get that Associate's degree from Rasmussen.  So tired, and yet so wound up.
 
considering seeing a movie tomorrow.

This gave me chills...
 

Mugged by Excuse Me, Mr. President! possibly.

Perhaps a bit overly constrained, but to start us off...
 
​Lady Schadenfreude  was once known as Antje Drossen, nicknamed "the girl in seat 3E" for her forgettability.  She passed largely unnoticed in school and elsewhere, which suited her just fine, as it allowed her to play cruel pranks on people without ever being suspected.  Her Falsestone gives her the ability to inflict Unluck in a growing radius around her and absorb energy from those suffering pain or misfortune in that radius to feed to Queen Nightmare.  She seldom attacks directly, preferring to lure her opponents to dangerous areas such as construction sites or swamps and letting unnature take its course.  Lady Schadenfreude's greatest weakness is a tendency to "twist the knife", going one step too far in order to increase a victim's suffering and thereby leaving herself open to attack.

Americat is better known to most superhero fans as Fatso, the pet of Melting Pot of the Capitol Patrol.  An orange tabby, he was normal until the day a villain tampered with Melting Pot's powers, causing her to fuse Fatso and Captain Justice into one being temporarily.  Captain Justice seems to have come out of it with no lasting effects, but Fatso was changed forever.  He is now as strong as a lion, and can run as fast as a cheetah.  He also has a red, white and blue tuft of hair on each ear.  Americat has a square-jawed hero kind of personality, which comes off really weird in a cat, and is more or less the leader of the team.
 
Oh, and somehow he's no longer fixed, but no one tell his mistress, okay?

Firewing: Teach Us, Master!
 
Firewing finds himself sought out by a growing group of young, post-Iron Age supers - not as a foe, but as a mentor. After all, he's very powerful and charismatic, (sort of) honourable and not compromised by political bias or outmoded cultural thinking, and misunderstood adolescents identify with him; emerging wannabe-superwarriors consider him a better role model than the so-called heroes, and they implore him to help train them to be worthy warriors in the mold of the Malvan gladiatorial tradition. They've even built a hidden arena/training facility. How will Ariax Thone react to a mob of naive, battle-eager kids who idolize him? If he agrees to teach them about honour, victory and the tactics of single combat, will he end up unleashing a plague of Malvan-trained supervillains - or will teaching others teach him something about himself? Best used in Teen Champions campaigns.
