Wait, is Olivia Cajun rather than French American? That's hot
I feel that the Lou Gary story needs a (preferably humorous) mom-related angle, or else it would just be a random (if interesting) superhero story that just happens to feature Sigrun and Olivia. But atm I can't figure just what this angle could be – any ideas?

Nice ideas, but I'd not make them such tightly close parallels for the Supermoms' powers. More like, they have a similar roster (6 MILFs) and a somewhat similar power balance (e.g., like Avengers-JLA or Avengers-FF), but they may have completely different powers. And I'd definitely not make Sigrun v.2 and Tropica v.2, too redundant.
The Indian mom shouldn't be from India – it's a European team, after all! She's probably British.
As a suggestion, seeing as the Supermoms are based around common American superhero comics tropes (Kaiju is based on Japanese tropes, but that could be justified by the Manga Invasion of the 80s), why not base the Euromilfs around common European comics tropes? Could be much funnier, imo, than just random MILFs with powers.
E.g.:
>Union Jill (Bala Woodsworth), UK. Team leader. Indian by nationality, widow (Woodsworth is her late husband's surname), a bit older than the average Supermom. Has seemingly no powers to speak of, even martial arts or such. However, her late husband, an archelolgist-occultist, has left her a mansion filled with strange artifacts that can, e.g., summon monsters, see monsters, turn her face into monsters, you get the drift. She doesn't know how to operate them or what half of them do, which could lead to fun moments. Is somewhat cynical, has a tendency for stereotypical British slang and swearing. Is known to break the 4th wall sometimes. Her day job is dance instructor. She has a delinquent antiauthoritarian teenage son.
>La Cowboy du Space (Claire Q'yuo'nxt), Belgium. Literally, a space cowboy. Hailing from an unknown galaxy/dimension, Claire is dressed in a weird oriental-looking dress, has tribal(?) marks on her face that conceal her identity, and flies an alien pterodactyl. It is not known what does she do on Earth, as there are no other space cowboys (or space cows, for that matter) here. She is a pacifist and doesn't like fighting herself, but can shoot her space pistols which have different fantastic effects (which can help the team or incapacitate enemies), and helps the team in other ways (e.g., transport someone via pterodactyl etc). She is a journalist by day, he personality is very energetic and she makes quick decisions (sometimes too quick), is going through her 3rd divorce, is raising two daughters, and likes to relieve stress on topless beaches.
>Karnage (Donna Eleuteri). Mysterious voluptuous avenger, clad in a black catsuit. Some time ago, she was responsible for a brutal vendetta against various mafia clans (not described, but mentioned). However, lately, she kinda mellowed out. Maybe it's due to the fact that her boyfriend (they haven't married, but their relationship is pretty stable) is the intrepid police inspector who vowed to capture Karnage (he doesn't know that Karnage is his girlfriend); his lawful ways may have rubbed on her after time. By day, she's an author of light fantasy books for young girls. She has no superpowers, but is assassin-like in her ability for acrobatics, parkour, martial arts and stealth.
>Turkish Dynamite (sorry, I can't into Turkish names), Turkey. Interpol secret agent with various strange and unexplained superpowers: she has the ability to defeat throngs of enemies with weak and badly timed kicks, can make rocks explode with her bare hands and feet, can jump several feet into the air, and even can karate chop a guy in half. Her identity is known to her Interpol superiors, who coordinate her moves. She has a husband and kids, works as a fashion designer (used to works as a fashion model when she was younger). Don't know about her character yet, maybe the stoic/no-nonsense/silent one (though it may be too similar to Sigrun?).
>Baroness Rita von Schwarzstein ("-"), Darkovia. This is the only heroine that doesn't have a secret identity – she's really the baroness of a small European country called Darkovia, situated on the border between Poland and Portugal. Instead, the governmentally controlled Darkovian media censor any information about their countess' superheroic adventures (as it's seen not befitting a member of the ruling dynasty), so none of her countrymen (even her family!) are in the know. Her husband is the Baron who rules the country while his wife lives a life of luxury and leisure, spending her days (as he thinks) doing nothing. So basically, she just turned to adventuring out of boredom. She's spoiled and haughty (much more than Sigrun, who is a warrior and a faithful friend). She knows very powerful dark magic, so naturally she's one of the main offensive players in this team.
>Red Turbine (Valentina Kuzmichyova), Belarus. Former Soviet superheroine, prepared for a life of striking fear into the hearts of American capitalists, she was a young girl (~18?) when the USSR broke down. Left out of job (superheroing was an official, paid government job in the Soviet Union), and having worked as a mercenary for a bit, she finally found a new employer in the small former Soviet republic of Belarus. Being the only Belarussian superhero, she's treated with much respect and adoration in her new country. Her secret identity is protected by the Belarusian secret police. She's very much an ideological communist, but at the same time, a laid-back gal, well-known for her drinking binges which don't seem to impede her superheroing prowess much. Her main feature is a mechanical suit with a vast number of useful powers (including an orbit jump, making its original wearer, the first Red Turbine, the first person in space). It was made in the late 1950s, but still works perf... well, as perfectly as it has always worked, anyway.
The last 2 girls are obviously based not on European tropes, but rather on recurring types from American comics.
