Ran through Sidekicks Can Be a Pain. on a level 37 Robotics/Force Field mastermind on Relentless.
Got all the way to the end, quit at the AV fight out of frustration. I'm not sure if there's a particular need to make him an AV. It seems like he could do his job as an Elite Boss. The ally isn't helpful either, since the AV was prone to running all over the place, and given that the AV can fly and the ally can't I had to run back a lot to pick him up. Especially when the AV jumped onto the buildings out of range.
The AV wasn't particularly threatening. Too busy running to actually do any serious damage to anything. I got him to half health and just spent about thirty minutes of following him around Galaxy City, dealing with all the enemies he pulled, grumbling and picking up the ally (Which was ultimately worthless anyways since he did so little damage to the AV), before finally giving up. Check to see if the AV is set to constantly run around, and either set him to an Elite Boss or make the ally an Elite Boss so he can be useful. If you can't keep the end boss from running, make the ally fly so he can at least keep up.
Really, that's my biggest complaint. The name Kyle Kousins grates on my nerves, but I get the feeling that was part of the intention. I can see the robotics mastermind Lt.s being very infuriating for, say, dominators or controllers but they didn't bother me. I liked the grav dom/radiation lt.s and the costume designs were amusingly corny.
The storyline as a whole felt like some sort of saturday morning cartoon, which I actually rather enjoyed. I would have liked to see the custom group come in the third mission as a patrol or something.
Rated three stars over the Arch Villain issue. It's just too frustrating to run around the place for a half hour without really putting a dent in him.

Finished Mission 1. Haven't fought the Tuatha much before. Bres healing surprised me. I liked the spanish Bres and the metro one. Bres Jr. wasn't particularly interesting, and given that there's a ton of bosses in a small cave map you could consider dropping him and maybe the hungry Bres.
Also, The Green Mane says being pretty doesn't make him a patsy, and I'm gonna guess you were aiming for pansy. The only other suggestions I have is giving them individual descriptions and maybe changing their mission goals to "Skin the <blank>" instead of just their names.
Finished the second mission. Same thing as the first, consider some individual descriptions and messing with the boss objectives. The Bres of Sharp Fang's dialogue was all right. I liked the text box upon entering. Other than that, the Bag of Teeth clue has a type. "A bbag of recently pulled teeth" as opposed to just bag.
Jaeos's description and Warrior Canovanas's dialogue are both a little awkward. Did like the mission description though, felt like something Aeon would do for amusement. Bres the Second goes by very quickly with all the heroes. Maybe consider downgrading the heroes and making Bres an elite boss? Or, with all the allies, consider popping him up to Arch Villain?
Rated it four stars since the issues were minor at best.
