The G-52s return to thwart more chaos in Europe as, amid more scandals, Macron resigns to leave Le Pen in charge as Leonce wanted all along, and Boris Johnson now has an app devoted to letting people know when he swears or says or does something wrong, which costs him a £1 coin each time he does. All money then goes to Lionus the Chivalric Lion, who gives it to charity.
Meanwhile, back in America, thanks to its own problems and scandals, CNN shuts itself and its sister channel HLN (Headline News) down for good.

It's kind of ironic that the 'media' and other characters complain about Cripto being portrayed as a 'God', and yet, he's able to manipulate reality on an apparently large scale with a mere finger snap to achieve virtually anything he wants and regularly abuses it as the ultimate Deus Ex Machina. If he's really that powerful then he could just end all these 'acts of terrorism' with his powers and put the G-52s out of a 'job'.
The G-52s put a demerit system on him and have even started fining him a bunch of money each time he now does manipulate reality outside a reasonable circumstance, in order to let nature take its course. He's also had many a thought of retiring from the superhero biz and going into hiding altogether, or just relying on his cowboy act, which doesn't require any superpowers at all.
That still doesn't change how exceedingly overpowered Cripto is, especially with that title of "Most Powerful Tiger In the Universe" which more or less describes him as Godly in all but name. He still gives anyone and everyone obscene amounts of money as a form of bribery if anything. Cripto doesn't have any real checks and balances on his usage of power and with how powerful he is, what's to stop him from totally turning the Earth into a uptopia free of crime and terror? Or even outright ignore the orders of those with higher ranking than him since he's the most powerful?
Isn't that still making the Earth into a utopia bit by bit? The G-52s in general don't really have any true challenges to combat because Cripto can just use his powers to solve any problem instantly without a second thought or if he was giving the order to do so which makes everyone else in their organization useless and underdeveloped.
He still, in a way, displays his power despite whatever restrictions are in place. Instead of always having him on the front lines, why don't you give some of your other underdeveloped and underused characters some spotlight? Unless Cripto's your main character, you tend to use the same set of characters in any giving story and you're coming out with new characters every couple of days who don't get used. For such a huge organization, they could really use different branches or divisions where certain members can handle certain missions suitable for them and not be overly reliant on Cripto.
That's going to be a challenge, no doubt.
Do note I made the fatal mistake of loosely basing Cripto on the real me, but to a very exaggerated amount.
WhimsicalSquirrel (also known as 
Uberskunk) was the first to crack the code.

You can base your characters on whoever you want. Everybody has their inspirations. What I'm saying, in relation to our discussion, is you should try to rotate and give your underused characters spotlight and balance Cripto's overpowered abilities. It doesn't really make sense for any of the narrators to say "A hero's work is never done." with "endless terrorism" while having someone as powerful as Cripto on their team who could literally erase and solve any problems with a finger snap. If Cripto doesn't want people accusing him as being a God, then he shouldn't do acts that gives others that impression.
Also, I decided to challenge myself to write more stories that don't have Cripto at all. Here's the first one:

Zax: Thank heavens the Macaroni Man is out! I've heard and seen enough of his gay sex adultery scandals along with his aides sneaking heroin in and out of his office!
Chuong: So now what? I worry that the collapsing of the EU will encourage the IRA to expand resources, especially recruiting ethnic Irish globally, into forcefully reuniting Ireland under their rule. Wonder what Le Pen is gonna do about it?
Battle Bear: Le Pen is more concerned with rebuilding France and changing our government policies first to protect and support us French first. She's not bothered by the IRA as long they do not pose a direct threat to France. But she'll let a few of us French heroes scout Ireland and the IRA just to make sure they don't threaten us directly.
