Grace Reed

Madison Oakes is a lot of things.

They're also a butch, nonbinary trans lesbian, and their Hero team's very first official "LGBTQ2+ Champion." Or at least they were, briefly, as a cynical PR move, before getting reassigned in Director Hagen's obsessive schemes to infiltrate the supervillainous Korps¿ who don't seem anything like what the sheep-bear's always been told, actually.
