I could have them both be from the Girl Genius 'verse. It's a steampunk webcomic of amazingness, and I think it'd be very well suited to my agents because...
Lanyon would be a Spark, which is basically a mad genius. He's quite good with steam-powered tech already, and would be perfect as a Spark. His specialty would be clanks, large ones with lots of weaponry. As a Spark, he'd also be from a high-class family, which perfectly suits his aristocratic nature. He'd have a megalomaniacal drive to conquer the world, which would make him much more confrontational and violent, instead of a seething mass of pent-up frustration.
Karen in Girl Genius would be a Jaegermonster, with claws, huge sharp teeth, an aversion to bathing, and a love for fighting. Her impulse control would be the same (read: nonexistent), but markedly more violent, and she'd be stronger to boot. Her hair and skin would also be some odd color, as a result of the change, likely clashing. She'd also have a strong sense of loyalty to the Heterodyne family, and would only work for the PPC if they allowed it. Alternatively, she fell through a plothole while looking for a Heterodyne and decided to stay on at the PPC so she could search for a Heterodyne in the word worlds, speculating that a lost heir might have fallen through a plothole at some point in the past. Hmm, I like the second one better. Oh, and she'd have a phonetic accent, "Like dis, und it might be because ov zee beeg teeth, or chust a Slavic aksent, seence Mechanicsburg ees located in Transylvania."
As a team, Spark!Lanyon and Jaeger!Karen would be quite at odds. Lanyon would see himself as the leader of the team, and take insubordination very badly, while Karen feels only beholden to the Heterodynes and will not serve another master. Expect bickering, casual maiming (fortunately Jaegers are durable, and as a Spark Lanyon can fix himself up), and lots of explosions.
