Did you defeat the longbow that came with the hero ?

I cannot be sure but accompanying the Hero are some longbow agents these need to be killed as well, What may be happening is that one of them is getting lost off map this will stop you from completing the mission as long as they are alive.
You may need to petition this the next time it happens then a GM can locate the lost Longbow.
Are you absolutely sure you beat every single member of the hero's group? Because you have to take down the whole group, not just the hero. Usually they'll show up with at least two Longbow agents, more depending on your difficulty and the size of your team. A mastermind may have an easier time getting them all since the AI is taking care of part of it for you. A stalker has to be more measured about things, and it's easy to miss one if, say, they run away while you're fighting their friend.
FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.
Two of the group occassion the Longbow killed us, but the last run we did we were really careful due to being tired of beign slaughtered due to overestimating ourselves. Both that last time and the solo runs the longbow groups were killed and the mission still wouldnt close. I origionally suspected that maybe on the solo runs, the fact that the stalker was going back into stealth and being 'invisible' to the hero team may have caused the lack of the spawn, but since runnign with a team, I dont think this is the case anymore (As longbow shot me through the stealth last time).

This. Sometimes a longbow will run outside the bank and get aimlessly run around the city. Can be a pain to find, if they get a headstart.
There are better people in worse shape....
That would be my guess, too. Somewhere along the way, a Longbow mob got lost, or stuck, or ran away. This would be especially true with more teammates, since the groups coming after you are larger. There are a lot of objects on a Mayhem map for someone to get hung up on.

A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes."
Hmm. I hadnt thought it'd be possible for some of the guards to get lost, but I'll give it a test run next time I've got my team together. Thanks for all the replies.
Are you and your friends doing the side mission before, or after you hit the vault?
Smash everything and everyone, Mayhem Missions give you bonus time for destroying a set number of objects. Do some if not all of these first, then hit they bank. That way if you have a straggler/escapee in the Hero spawn, you have some cushion time to hunt him down.
I havnt actually gotten my groups to do the side missions, but with these new facts they may change their minds. I've been doing the side missions as I come across them, at least ocne before and two after another problem where the hero wasnt spawning. Good advice though. I'll probably have results in the evening to see if this is what the problem is.
I don't see it listed yet, but was anyone in the jail?
As far as I know, you can't complete the mission if any member of your team is in jail.
If they are, you have to bust them out.

You can, IIRC, complete the mission - the problem is that some of the longbow that WOULD go to the bank end up heading to the jail instead (and potentially getting lost.)
I tend to do these things solo, in any case - at least for a first run at any level. One hero, one (or two) Longbow. Easy to tell if they're all there 
I find solo much easier for mayhems.
I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):
Now, I may be a new player to this little city of fun and mayhem, and I have no problems admitting I know very little about a somewhat asthetically pleasing game. Not quite as fun on the solo level as when my buddies are around, but I've got a lot of friends, and the bunch of us have the most fun tearing through newspaper missions so we can hit up some good old mayhem fun and rob a bank. Love it!
However, this past two days have been going from annoying to irritating to downright aggrivating. I've done two solo runs on my stalker and three runs last night with my stalker, a dominator and a brutish friend all with the same result; The swag is nabbed, the hero killed, and the mission wont end no matter what we do, reuslting in the timer running out and Drea the Hook throwing up failure in my face. I even went in and killed everyone I could find and did all the side quests and killed the hero and the mission STILL wouldnt flank as complete. (In one of the solo runs, the hero wouldnt even spawn >_<
And yet my Mastermind can waltz into a place, swipe the swag, kill the hero and instantly get the mission completion flash, exit button and reward.
Whats going on? Why cant my stalker toon complete bank missions?! ;_;
