There is a thread further down entitled Superior Spider Man, which talks about Superior Spider Man title taking the place of Amazing Spider Man. Supposedly, it will no longer be Peter Parker as Spider Man. In any universe. Which is very sad.

Journey into Mystery will be ending as well soon, with the completion of the current Surtur arc.

It will be Scarlet Spider with Venom on the Minimum Carnage crossover.

My level 50 energy blaster once used Energy Thrust on a level 1 Hellion in Atlas Park just to watch him fly.

I bet I can figure this out eventually, but I'm afraid that someone would welsh on that bet...

I find it a little odd about the whole electricity being gone. Electric current going through wires is usually either generated from nuclear processes or from burning coal plants. However, batteries are a chemical process that generates electric current.

How does someone/something block that different of a source? Why does gunpowder work (chemical process) but batteries don't? You'd have to have a hell of a good reason why this is so selective...

Necro thread? Why not zombie Zoidberg?

* Security Chiefs, as in, "Please go see the Perez Park Security Chief. You know, the one in the zone you just left at the other end of the map." - They were a pain pre-dropping missions and level 4 travel powers.

* PvP Liaisons. For pretty much the same reasons as Security Chiefs.

Thank you for your hard work and dedication. I'm more a lurker than anything, but I've seen the impact you've had on this community.

You will be missed; best fortune in all aspects of your life.

Thanks for the recap and all of the links in one place; with all the outpouring of love and dismay, it's been easy to miss some of these articles.

I always hoped that Boomtown would get some heavy revisions, along the lines of Faultline. I also was hoping that the zones involved in the Praetorian invasion (Skyway, Kings Row) would be updated to reflect the damage if you had participated in the Sutter/Apex TFs. (Much like the phasing in Atlas.)

While the forums are still active and actively read, I wanted to make sure to give my appreciations to all of our community, but to also single out some who really went above and beyond.

1. All the Beta testers. I know that new issues ran a lot more smoothly when they had been properly Beta tested by you. You all sacrificed your regular game time to make it a better game experience for us, and I, for one, appreciate it.

2. Tony V, Agge, and the rest over at Titan. You made great tools and an indispensable Wiki for the community to use. Thank you all.

3. Beefcake, Blondeshell, and the rest over at Badge-Hunter/Vidiotmaps. Thank you for enabling my collection obsession. Seriously, I enjoy collecting, and the maps and badge tracking were very helpful.

4. Snow Globe and all others who were avid badgers. Snow always came out with info on the newest obtainable badges, and what was needed to be done. I know that it was a group effort for them, and I want to acknowledge that my thanks are to you all. It made the collecting get done faster, so I could get to the enjoyment sooner.

5. All the MA architects. Thanks for taking your time to make enjoyable, dramatic, and often hilarious stories to expand City.

6. All the Raid leaders. Sometimes raids seemed more like herding kindergarteners through a glass shop, but I will always appreciate those who took the lead and ran successful and not-so-successful raids.

7. Taxibots. Back in the earlier days on Infinity, you were out there, making a difference in the careers of new heroes. Good, unselfish acts that strengthened the community: what a hero is all about.

8. All those who wrote Player Guides. It takes a good amount of effort to perfect your character; it takes even more to write a good summary to help others with those characters. Thanks for that effort.

9. Dark Respite and all those who created multimedia for City. Thanks for taking your talents and sharing it with us, making an enjoyable and sometimes superior product.

I wish that I could think of all the players who made a difference in my enjoyment of the game, but, alas, time has made swiss cheese of my memory, and this is what I can think of now. Please know, this is not a definite list; there are so many of you that have had a positive effect on me. Thank you all.

Feel free to express your own thanks to your colleagues here; maybe it will stir memories for me.

I remember the Winter Lord PLs.

I remember Yellow Dawns.

I remember fighting the Kronos Titan in Siren's Call.

I remember ambush spawns in Atlas. (especially one that happened right at the train)

I remember having 2-3 teams take down Lusca.

I remember farming Kora fruit for tier 3 inspirations.

Probably my best memory though, is the time when my SG finally completed the STF. 3 failures, then we finally succeeded. This was the same time IOs were invented, yet most of us were still on SOs. It was a big thing for us.

It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday

How do I say goodbye to what we had?
The good times that made us laugh
Outweigh the bad.

I thought we'd get to see forever
But forever's gone away
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.

I don't know where this road
Is going to lead
All I know is where we've been
And what we've been through.

If we get to see tomorrow
I hope it's worth all the wait
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.

And I'll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.

And I'll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.


Zwill, Devs, Mods, Community: Thanks for the memories. Some have been good, some bad, but I will cherish the time I played City. Best wishes to all at Paragon.

Very sad. The Key of Time was one of my favorite story arcs in the Tom Baker years; her presence helped make it so. Rest in peace.

1. Kingdom Come by DC - Gorgeous art and an engaging story
2. Squadron Supreme by Marvel - A good look at what happens when supers try to run the world
3. Justice League: Tower of Babel by DC - Probably the best JL story ever

Those just off the top of my head; there are so many good stories out there, but there is a lot of dreck too.

You know that next year they'll just release a Super Epic boxed set, with working Iron Man armor and an authentic Captain America shield. Why not wait for that?

Meh. One time use codes as an incentive to go to a site I'd not use otherwise? I sincerely doubt that I'd be the lucky one, so it's not really winning me over.

...may be headed our way soon.

Seeing as how we just toppled the government in Praetoria (which should not be discussed here! ), there are essentially two options for the Praetorian civilians:

1. Stay and hope that Hami doesn't get hungry.
2. Move into Primal Earth.

Now I really don't see 1 happening; they went to Praetoria in the first place to be safe from the Hamidon. So, what happens when a stream of Praetorians come into Paragon City? Will the government:

1. Welcome the refugees and find them places to live, and help them get to their feet? This would be similar to what happened in our world during the killing fields of Cambodia, when many fled from Pol Pot's tyranny.

2. We put them into a refugee camp/area, being guarded. While this might seem an extreme, we have put people in camps before where their allegiance would be in question.

2 brings to mind the movie District 9; could the Praetorians become a second class citizen in Paragon, due to our fears of what they might do?

Maybe the Phoenix 5 reverse the effects of the whole House of M / Decimation storyline, which would rewrite the past 5? years of storyline.

Of course, having stated that there is no retcon, means that this plausible storyline is not valid; instead, let's just mix up teams for no good reason whatsoever.
