Dr. Bronsky (Codename Quicksilver)

Dr. Bronsky, also known by her alias Ivy, is a hidden villainess of Codename Quicksilver by Sarah Dixon. She was a high-ranking member of the Syndicate Crime Gang of the Hoodlum City, working under its leader John Silver/Chameleon to spread the mind control Q Gas upon a charity party at the Megabuck Tower to brainwash the attendees into financially supporting the gang in their scheme to take over the world.
Dr.Bronsky was previously a classmate of Professor Mac Maccavity and Dr.Arcward back in the university as well as their co-worker at the same laboratory where they discovered a mysterious substance that had the power to brainwash people, named Q Gas. Feeling that his life was in danger, Mac went into hiding but not before giving Bronsky and Arcward two parts of code, a photo for the former and a tape for the latter, that lead to the hiding place of the substance's formula. Unknown to Mac, the villainess was in fact in cahoots with the Syndicate Crime Gang, one of the three notorious criminal groups in the city whose goal is to take over the world with the Q Gas' brainwashing power. 
With half of the code in her possession, Bronsky and her cohorts sent some goons to capture Arcward and retrieve the tape, but was foiled by the unexpected arrival of Mel, the heroine of the book, who managed to retrieve the tape along with the help of Luke Jones, an amateur investigator working under the detective agency owned by Bronsky's boss Chameleon's civilian persona. Nevertheless, the Syndicate managed to ambush Mel at the Metropolis Club and took the tape from her, allowing the gang to fully decode the location of Q Gas' formula, which turned out to be hidden under the God Mercury statue's name tag in the Paragon Garden. After the formula was retrieved by the villainous dueo Flash Carpone and Babe Balone, the villainess managed to recreate the Q Gas for the gang and given the task of installing in the ventilation system of the Megabuck Tower, where a charity party will be held, with the Syndicate planned to brainwash people into giving financial support to Casino Jo, another member of their group, and using this money to finance in their grander scheme to rule the world with Q Gas.
Bronsky's villainous reveal happened to Mel, Luke, Mac, and Arcward toward the end of the story, where she was confronted by them at Megabuck Tower's control room as she was injecting the Q Gas into the ventilation pipe. The villainess tried to brainwash her former friends with the Q Gas, but was foiled by Mel who sprayed the antidote created by Mac at her in respond. Despite being restrained by the heroes, Bronsky taunted that they were too late in stopping the Syndicate's plan, before hitting an alarm button to call for her cohorts to capture them. Unfortunately for Bronsky, Luke managed to figure out the correct button to suck out all the Q Gas in the system and rushed off with the formula before Bronsky cohorts could catch him, with Mel and the rest informing Luke's co-worker of Bronsky's capture and the Syndicate's hideout. The story ended with Bronsky and all her cohorts being placed under arrest alongside the exposed Chameleon, with their goal of taking over the world will never come to fruition anytime soon following the formula's destruction.
