All over the US, especially in Paragon, strange portals have suddenly started appearing out of nowhere, sucking in a victim, then disappearing as quickly as they came. Nobody has yet found a way to create a place that is safe from these portals, through magic or technology.
Studies of the dimensional portals ensued (accompanied by the disappearance of many researchers) and the reason was found for the fact that Paragon has the highest concentration of these portals, compared to anywhere in the world.
The heroes of Paragon.
The numerous gadgets, metahumans, and especially magic spells and artifacts were found to be a contributing factor, as well as the War Walls. The War Walls have been reduced to minimum power, because it was deemed that the dimensional "vacuums" were a greater threat to the general populace than the Rikti.
Steps were taken against superbeings (you can, however, be an illegal superbeing and still have all your powers) and a law was passed, to cut down on the numerous freak vacuum portals. All those that had escaped from other worlds were immediately returned in the quickest way possible to their home planet/dimensions.
The heroes that relied on technology had many of their gadgets confiscated, particularly anti-gravity and disruptor devices. The magical heroes were in a similar predicament, as their artifacts were all removed and taken to the MAGI vault (Azuria has since been sucked away, and returned from, sixteen portals to date), and the new law has forbidden them from using any of their spells. Many mutants fled to the Rogue Isles, and those that chose to remain were fitted with power-suppressing collars.
Because the War Walls are weakened, Rikti run rampant in Paragon City, and new, weak heroes hardly ever live to see the second day of their career.
Not that the situation in the Rogue Isles is any better. The fabric of space-time seems to be even more holey there, and hapless villains are often sucked into a portal, never to be seen again.
