that badge is dead simple to get with a full team or full team diff setting in the Hollow arcs. But alas, heard and noticed that not many people team hollow mishes.
Expanding their storyline could be fun. I want to know more of what makes these guys tick.

You'd think so, but no - I actually do run Hollows arcs and I've found it to be around a 50/50 chance of getting the badge while running at +0x8, and that's including Hollows, not limited to it. It might tie in with the low boss spawn rate, but regardless, even the Tsoo with their promptly forgettable arcs have more of a content presence than the Outcasts.
hm interesting. running on a team of 8 by the end of the arcs I always ended up with the badge.
There are some in Steel Canyon. The badge I have hardest finding bosses in good numbers especially in mishes is them Family Bosses.

As long as it is a Strike Force, and not a Task Force, I am all for it. 
Much harder on red to get that badge then on blue.
I have yet to see a classical red side toon have that badge. Now with side switching, a few of them running around with it.

Interesting. Anyway, as for the family, that too - fortunately, there's an outdoor Fambly mission {timed, but not significantly} that can probably push the Untouchable badge all by itself.

As for redside, no idea - I never really played villains.
Gangbuster for the accolade need 200 of them.

Yeah I really wish they'd let Untouchable count for the Accolade instead :P
I recently ended up hunting this badge in Steel Canyon's Silver Lake and Platinum Lake neighborhoods, actually went pretty quickly that way. Still working on Volcanic, though. 
Might just end up farming WWD1 for the last 40 of those...

How about uhm... a level 14-23 Outcast T.V. respec trial?

It'd be Hollows all over again.
{wouldn't mind another respec trial, though}
And while we're at it? Why not have some Outcast presence on redside. At least in Newspaper missions? I mean Trolls appear in Newspaper missions, but nowhere else redside.

I like the idea of the outcast getting either a TF or Trial. I do know that Unai Memento has the to save a thousand worlds arc that has an outdoor/city street map that contains The Family. For redside Family I just street sweep in St. Martial.
Signed because I like outcasts, and I like task forces. It'd be cool redside or blueside, or different versions/stories for both.

How about a 20-25 Taskforce where Frostfire has escaped from the Zig with a few other lesser known metahumans and you have to follow their trail of crime, eventually bringing them all in.
Then a 25-30 Strikeforce where you fight against potential new leaders of the Outcasts in an attempt to become the leader yourself, eventually ending with a side-switched Frostfire trying to stop you and an official disbanding of the Outcasts. Maybe add in that your superior villainy was the reason for Frostfire's alignment switch.

True that. But would be interesting to see who took over Frostfire's leadership role or what caused him to flip. Not many low level enemy group leaders are interesting or that complex but Frostfire seems to be, even more so than them CoT leaders that apprear repeatedly in arcs and TF/SFs everytime someone especially Azuria needs a book off their bookshelf. |

Or with Goldbrickers, what's the point of even mentioning Midas with no intentions of delving deeper into that group or giving them a time to shine. Or what is golden roller's connection with them and etc. How does one becomes a goldbricker. I find them more interesting as a group than say Skyraiders, who get their moment of glory. I mean you dont even run into outcast in the early level mayhem missions of steel canyon even. At east not that I recall, I remember them clockwork things and skyways was trolls but may have it switched.

This primarily came from the realization how hard it is to get the Weatherman badge {side note, please increase the boss rate in Outcast spawns}, but I noticed - they're really under-represented in the whole content arena. They appear in a handful of Hollows missions, and are sprinkled here and there throughout various arcs, but their time in the spotlight is limited to the Frostfire mission.
So... give the superpowered street thugs some love?
