In the Not Really A Studio Quote threads, there's a series of posts by CdrMike with various shipgirls being cast as Avengers. You should re-read the casting notes for Iowa.

That seems unlikely. It's more mystical than Earthgov is likely to go in most cases. The only time we've seen them get even vaguely into the magical side was when they tried to get the Amazons mind-controlled into a special military force, and that was less active usage of magical effects, more "they're really strong and tough, we don't care if it's magic or just a good exercise program."
