Looking for Advice: How should be the landing page for a superhero campaign?

Hi there, i am planning a short campaign of Marvel Heroic Roleplaying (Cortex Plus/Prime) and recently I found out about the awesome landing pages in the many fantasy campaigns around here. The system is very similar to FATE except the dice mechanic, so I need an overview for the current aspects which affect the PCs or NPCs. The initiative works after the popcorn method , that means I need two areas in which the PC/NPC token lie around. One area for the tokens which didn't act during a combat round and one area for tokens which already acted. Maybe an area with an image of the current scene. I have two design ideas for the page: 1. It's the desktop of a SHIELD agent who writes the report for the incident. On the table are the dossier of the incident and sticky notes (for aspects). 2. It's the user interface of the SHIELD monitoring system, which shows the relevant datas as windows. Which design idea feels more fitting to the setting? Do you have an another design idea? Where do I get the image elements for the page? Bonus Question: Does someone already wrote a macro for the Cortex Plus/Prime dice mechanic? Thanks in advance
I've just completed and submitted an overhaul of the Marvel Heroic Roleplaying character sheet that doesn't require any API usage to handle the dice pools, I hope it is available soon for you to use in your new campaign, but all depends on the approval process on Roll20's side. As to your landing page idea, I like the personal touch of the SHIELD agent who writes reports on the team, you could turn them into a real character just by showing the environment of their desk (are they a slob? a goody-goody? do they have family photos, one of those birds that keeps dipping its beak in water, or gag tchotchkes sitting around? what's their handwriting like on the sticky notes and what kind of reminders do they leave themselves?) I think for running combats and stuff it would make sense to use pages other than your landing page, use the landing screen for session recaps, Transition Scenes, downtime, etc.

For the combat order I was thinking about a spreadsheet on a writing pad with columns for the tokens. I could put it in the GM layer if i dont need it at the moment.
