Last year I did a deep exploration of the Victorious RPG. It is a really, really fun supers game set in the Victorian era. I could have done a Plays Well With Others with this. There is a lot in both games that the other can use.
Mighty Protectors and Villains & Vigilantes both have an absolute ton of Powers that Victorious players can adapt.
Victorious has skills and a ton of information on supers in the Victorian era.
Both have great advice on playing supers and are generally "Supers as the good guys" games. Not dark anti-heroes or modern-age supers.
One of the features of the Victorious game is that many of the supers in Victorian age are from the 21st Century, having traveled back in time. Sounds just like our superhero Maxima from Villains & Vigilantes and Mighty Protectors.
Maxima is one of the more popular of Jeff Dee's and Jack Herman's characters. Afterall she is a seven-foot tall blonde amazon powerhouse. She will be appearing in a future Mighty Protectors product where more of her history and future will be detailed.
In Victorious let's say that Maxima went back in time, but instead of New Mexico in 1986 she ends up in London in 1886. Maxima belongs to Jeff Dee, Jack Herman, and Monkey House Games. I am just playing with her for a bit.

Maxima is very much out-of-time here. She remembers enough of her mission and her life before to know she is in the past. She has also found other, similar heroes to help her.
She would be a great character to play in Victorious. HEY! A time travel epic where the heroes of Mighty Protectors meet up the heroes of Victorious!

Cool! I wonder if I could pitch a Victorious-V&V (V3?) adventure to Jeff Dee? :)

Would not hurt to give it a shot!
