This thread was created to centralize all... wait for it... Vanity Style Mission Arcs created by Arc designers.
Allow me to explain what a Vanity Arc is.
It is a mission or series of missions that have each of your favorite or most prominent heroes/villians included in it.
It's up to you if you want these heroes to be opponents or allies of the players. I prefer an opportunity to face off against other heroes AI controlled toons, but it really is for you to decide for yourself.
I have taken the liberty of creating the first Vanity Arc and published it under Arc ID 85309 the name is "PM Vanity MArc".
I encourage others to post their Vanity arcs here in the museum so that others might more readily locate them. The sort list for the ARC system ingame is growing at an impressive rate.
One thing I've noticed with these type of custom characters is they can become overpowered very easilty.
What I've done and recommend others try that would like to make it possible for groups to actually complete their missions and arcs is to set the primary powersets to standard difficulty and the secondary powerset to extreme difficulty. (Except for sets that have hide or stealth built in. Those I reccomend being set to standard difficulty for both.
These settings seems to keep the heroes challenging yet not make them overpowered.
Now is the time to show the CoH community your heroes and villians customes and basic powersets.
Let the Vanity Ensue!

This should probably go in the forum dedicated to arc promotion - MA Stories and Lore, farther down.
And for a while things were cold,
They were scared down in their holes
The forest that once was green
Was colored black by those killing machines
