Villains can form dynasties too. If super-crime had Bring Your Daughter To Work Day she could compare notes with Torch-Girl, although they have rather different relationships with their respective fathers.
Little Miss Big
Fiona Donovan-Myers is the fifth daughter of super-criminal Tom Donovan, aka Mister Big Junior. She's inherited his ability to generate a large volume of a luminous substance he called "ecto-powerplasm" to protect and empower herself, marking three generations of powered criminal in the family now. Like her father she can surround herself with a huge humanoid shell of the stuff, granting her great size, strength and durability, but she's more adroit than he is and can also form it into cables, webs, and bubbles to restrain foes. In a pinch she can even form "hardballs" of the stuff to use as impromptu projectiles, which are a bit more aerodynamic than just picking up a car and hucking it when dealing with flyers and snipers.
While Fiona has chosen to follow in the family tradition, she and her father don't get along well at all. He divorced her mother well over a decade ago when she failed to give birth to a son, and Fiona was raised to despise her father while also resenting his relative wealth. When her powers manifested she opted to become a super-criminal herself and outdo the "old man" at his own game. She adopted her "Little Miss Big" supranym mock him for having been stuck as "Junior" all these years, as well as to make it clear to potential employers and allies that they'll be working with one of the "Big" criminal dynasty. Fiona is quick to point out that she's the new, innovative generation of the family compared to her fossil of a father. It's hard to deny she isn't more clever than he is about how she uses her powers, as well as better at making jobs turn a profit for everyone involved.

Master of Profitability (I) If you have access to great wealth and other resources, automatically succeed at an Overcome to leverage those resources to get even richer, no matter who pays the price.
Tactics
Compared to her father, Little Miss Big is quite a bit better at manipulating the "ecto-powerplasm" they both surround themselves with and relies less on the sheer size of her construct. She also tends to be less brutal in a fight, favoring Hindering effects over raw damage. Her favorite trick is to use Plasmic Bonds (which works fine even at a distance, spinning coils of her plasm around them) on a victim to establish a lasting penalty, then following up with a full-envelopment Bubble Trouble to force them to Overcome their way to freedom while under that penalty. She can also use her size with Making Trouble to trigger environment twists, and if outnumbered WHAM! lets her deliver a stomp or handclap that can affect a whole crowd with the shockwave. Hardened Powerplasm greatly increases her overall durability.
Her upgrade makes her construct shell far more durable, while her mastery demonstrates her ruthless business savvy instead of relying on brute force like Mister Big Junior does.
