If you're just going to post some "clever" or snide comment like you're twelve years old, please just move along. I'm sure offensive comments break RPoL rules, anyway. Despite the subject matter, this is actually serious.
Otherwise, please feel free to contact me through rMail.
Background:
Several years ago, I played in a tabletop superhero campaign using the old TSR Marvel Super Heroes RPG. The GM had some random charts (partially taken from Palladium, if I recall) that determined things like gender, height, weight, etc. Being the only one who didn't really have an idea of what I wanted to do, character-wise, I decided to just go all random, including powers. Slightly embarrassingly, I ended up with a female character for the first adventure, and the GM said that after this one-off, I could always just make a new, permanent character when I decided on something definite. The adventure went just fine, and my character actually ended up with the beginning of several cool sub-plots.
The next week, when the second adventure rolled around, time constraints prevented a new character being created, so I just played her again. After that adventure, I was kind of liking the character a lot, and the other players suggested I just keep playing her as my permanent character for the campaign. The GM had also awarded awesome Karma (kind of like spendable XP) bonuses for playing her "in character."
That campaign lasted over a year and a half, and I only recently came to the realization that the reason the GM and other three players were so persuasive that I not create a new character was because they had a "token female" on the team - and to a degree, fan service.
That being said...
Sure, there are plenty of female gamers these days (as well as males who don't mind playing female characters) - especially online - but if there's a GM out there looking to add a "token female" to their all-male superhero game, I'd love to play her again (or an updated rendition of her) in a new campaign. This time, now that I know what's up, I'd be agreeable to making fan service the primary purpose (meta-game) of even being in the game.
Also... If a GM wants to run a solo game involving the above, with lots of fan service provided, I would also be agreeable to that.
I'm familiar with the old Marvel Super Heroes game (as expected), Mutants & Masterminds (all editions), DC Adventures and probably some other superhero games as well. If I don't know it and it's not too complex, I also don't mind learning.

Fan Service (Paraphrased from TV Tropes):
Characters in skimpy clothing, skin-tight clothing, panty-shots, costume wedgies, etc. under the assumption that it will attract or "reward" viewers. Real fanservice is seldom explicit or graphic — that is the territory of pornography. Instead, it is primarily there to "add a little extra" by teasing and titillating the audience.
