Aldrusian, check out the Equipment Advantage/Skill (can't remember which one it is off the top of my head). For every rank you put into it (1 power point = 1 rank), you get 5 equipment points. I put in 4 levels just so that I could have my Batman moment since my character is relatively on the weak side--she's literally more of a team support character that acts as an annoying gnat for enemies to get distracted by swatting at.
Tracey, I think you should play it up as much as you want! That's the type of thing that helps characters feel more alive IMO. And since this is "today's world", sexuality is probably not so much of a complication these days depending on your position in or out of the bible belt, so I wouldn't worry about it ever being an issue. :) I imagine the type of issues that JackJack is suggesting is more in line with like the moral dilemma with.. well, example: what happens when Darkhound is faced with the prospect of saving someone, say a senator or something, who is actively trying to argue for laws that directly impact her minority group? What if Johanna and Tracey gotta save Mike Pence's ass?
Those are just weird obvious examples, and obviously, they're not going to just not rescue a person whose life is in danger, but I think those type of decisions are some part of the heart that DC comics have. What happens when our perceived enemies are the people that need saving?
