Government involvement is going to happen eventually. Real-life, I'm a bureaucrat, so I'm inclined to trust governments. However, I also have a good idea of how slowly they can move, so IC-Rob isn't likely to count on governments to bail out the tenants for anything.
My tenants are 80% "superpowered and trustworthy", 10% "superpowered and probably trustworthy", and 10% "normal and probably trustworthy". I can see my apartment building getting a red telephone installed and kept under a clear glass cake lid, right beside a bust of Shakespeare. (You only get one geek point for knowing the reference.) And then the phone never rings, because the average age of my tenants is 14 and the median age is 15.
As for subplots, why not mix-and-match some villains? Let's see how well the NERV staff can handle Therestina, or whether the Academy City girls and Sailor Senshi can hold their own against Doctor Clay, or how well Tenchi's harem does against an Angel... Is this random, or Salem pulling strings to get a feel for the opposition?
