I personally feel like we should dominate the position through cost-effective and live-safe methods, such as robotics, clone soldiers, and the panopticon.

The ATA just seems like a straight-up bad idea - it's wasting a project and large amounts of time/resources on something easily accomplished just by experience.
The POD is overengineering a $100 quadrocopter that will be useful because reasons, apparently, ignoring the fact that if the police (or we) want one, they'd already have them.
Hearts & Minds is just trying to get a Favors(/renown) gain that the Agency is already explicitly going to give us.

We should be focusing on team-wide benefits, like the Needletail. We're not going to be working on new projects for a while, but early-game we should focus on things that will help all of our heroes.

So you just sneak into the dam upsteam, dump several megatons of distressed squid into it, then break the dam. Boom, you suddenly have enough water-proof stealth for a whole city!

Help all of our heroes you say?

Containment  Foam

Containment foam is a yellow, sticky substance that expands when exposed to air. In it's expanded form it's porous enough that people can breath in it. It's also resistant to heat, cold, impacts, insulates electricity and it's almost impossible to get leverage on it.  Alivable in shells, which work like a grenade or in sprayers that are either vechile mounted turrets or personal sprayers which look like flamethrowers. The foam degrades naturally over time or it can be dissolved by a solvent.

New name idea thought up of by BBB, kind of myself, and [CLASSIFIED].
Superhero World Organization for Retaliation and Defense (S.W.O.R.D.)

Adding BBB and myself to its votes. I'm also voting for Containment Foam, which is an actual improvement to our forces and something that others may vote for. Hmph.

The notion that POD is an over-engineered quadcopter is false. I have purposely kept it feature-bare with the full expectation that it would be both hardy and durable enough to act as the eyes in the sky for our superheroes in the rough and tumble circumstances that such a role would imply with superhumans that could fly. This is an gigantic hover UAV that is designed for everyday use by police forces with the explicit ability for it to be over-ridden by us, while durable enough to hopefully survive being slammed into walls and such by incompetent fliers and keep chugging. This means that both us and the Police forces have an eye in the sky when we need it, and one that won't get popped out of the air by any nerd with a cap gun or super-powered fist. Like it or not, we are dealing with politicians, and worst of all, Civilians. Fickle, stupid things that are prone to ambition against their rightful betters, and getting them used to the idea of being monitored, at least by large, visible  (unarmed) drones would be the first step of pushing our agenda of control against the menace that threatens our very society.

Yes, a smaller drone might be able to do the job of observation better, and to say that the POD's job is to merely observe would be a false statement.

It is a monument to US! The forces of SWORD, the hand of good that keeps the omnipotent, baying teeth of evil away. A drone in the sky, visible by all; Watching, Knowing, Seeing.

It will keep the masses in line, and anything less would be a FUCKING DISASTER.

ATA should still be done at some point as a safe way for flimsy heroes to get stronger.

Leaving my previous votes as a pointless protest against the choices being made.

Oh, and because laziness.
