What end of the world scenario would you like?

For the heroes and villains out there, what end of the world situation would you like us to prevent/start as an ingame event? Could it be a new class of giant monster causing havoc?
A meteorite shower?
A doomsday device?
A superpowered virus? You decide! Lets give the devs some ideas of some actual more "threat worthy" events!

For me personally i'ld love to have an event ingame that saw multiple "end of the world" scenarios happening at the same with us having to decide which one to help stop.

This as an example:

Giant monster attack the hospital - Helping save it grants a temporay power that gives you a slight boost to regeneration/recovery.
Meteorite shower - fly up into the sky and stop them from hitting the ground. Defeating x number of meteorites grants a temp summon power "summon mini shivan" as your pet. Attributes are that of a underling.

Share your ideas

What if you have Super Speed as your only travel power? Or even no travel powers?

run for cover? Or TRY and hit them enough force before they land. Would have to be a no badge reward scenario to work/be fair obviously.

Not everyone has the damage output for it, though. I can just imagine some poor Defenders and Controllers standing there attempting to kill a meteorite without any sucess, repeatedly

Um, hampsters revolt!
H3ll N0, we won't keep the s3rv3rs up! Feed us, love us.

It may be cruel, but a small part of me would laught so hard if I found a story on Actiontrip telling me the servers had totally crashed and they didn't have any backups because they all where in the same room and during the crash, the whole room got incinerated, then flooded with that funky foam the firedudes use to put out the fires.

...and we all know, the death of the game is d00m! unless there was some other highly addictive drug out there, like... superadine! Yeah, I wanna be green, big and glowing, with extra chunky teeths!

*dons his dastardly villain outfit*

I would build an Anti-Gravety Ray™, put it into a satalite and launch it into space. If the World governments don't follow my demands I will fire the Anti-Gravelty Ray™ at the nations capital city, and luagh in the most diabolical fasion as the city's populus falls up into the sky!

Muahahahahahaha!

De-Evolution Beam, if the world leaders don't follow my demands, then turn them into proto-primates.

You never know, with some politicians it may actually increase their intelligence.

I'm hoping that GR will bring new war zones with all out human and super-being battles raging

Kidnap the worlds Bakers and hold them hostage so theres a massive shortage of Pie!!!

People will cry! I'll have pie! And it'll be glorious!!

Deliver Megan Fox or the pie man gets it!! Mwhahahahaha!

I'd have a GM appear and start hunting down heroes and villains alike. the GM would be a huge nightmare alien types giant called "SUUNE" "AAYEE" "PHAARM" and "PEE-ELLR" . as he stomps toons he starts spouting that "The End is coming!"

then, a while later I'd have a massive black/red version of Hami appear and start to spread out through the regions of paragon city and the Rogue Isles. the blob is called "DUUHM"
and has mitos like Hami but that are
1. life drain / end drain
2. Psi / Toxic damage
3. Syphon speed / teleport foe

DUUHM would have an arua that does psi/toxic/fire/cold/energy damage over time and tentacles that cause smashing/lethal/electrical damage.

DUUHM would also attack and absorb any GMs they encounter and on winning would transform them into a geletanous version of themselves with the same power sets as DUUHM along with their original powers and they would precede DUUHM into neighbouring zones as its emmisaries.

I’d like to see a huge ginger bread man (GM size) that:

* throws exploding jelly tots or gum drops that slows movement
* a shoe-lace sweet (or candy, if you prefer) as a ranged melee weapon with a chance of holding
* has a belly-flop attack that has a ridiculously large PBAoE knockdown
* stomp attack with knockdown
* summons a rain of cookie dough (again, large PBAoE)
* summons chilli-flavoured jelly babies that melt when defeated and leaves behind a bubbling mass on the floor like mud pots

He would be the end to all that is cookie heaven.

Or

Attack of the Giant Killer Turkeys all over Paragon City

Coz they like cookies too.

Or

Mork! Nanoo nanoo!

Can’t think of a good enough reason, but he’ll confubble everyone and there’ll be a mass Hero vs Hero/Villain vs. Villain free-for-all (depending on where you are...).

Take one: Tripods. Big stonking martian Tripods, blasting everything in its way, leaving only civilian clothes falling to the ground as they're hit by the heat ray, and the land is slowly covered by a strange red weed. While one group of heroes fight the tripods to delay them, another group have to enter all the secret biowarfare labs to make a virus that could kill the martians.

Take two: Fimbulwinter. The wolf Skoll swallows the sun, the wolf Hati swallows the moon, darkness falls and the world is blanketed in snow. Then, after brother fight brother and all kinship is broken in this wolf age and axe age, gods and giants fight the final battle.

No, there isn't anything the heroes can do, except to die well in the final battle. But for three winters with no summer in between, they have to fight to uphold some dignity, because every villain that dies will fight on the giant's side in this final battle.

Take three: The amazon planet. A strange planet, inhabited by beautiful green-skinned four-armed warrior women, has entered the solar system. Unless the heroes makes a gravity repulsor and places its two parts on Earth as well as the strange planet, the two planets will collide and both will be destroyed. If successful, there will be a new planet in our solar system. And the warrior women on the other planet will be tempted to invade the Earth and steal all its men. There will be a great debate on the other planet whether they should or should not, and only our heroes can persuade them to not do it.

Edit: And if they invade, they do it in martian tripods.

Micro black hole, allowed to eat the planet from under us...

Or how about a kilometre long chunk of iron that has entered the solar system travelling at super relativistic speeds that interrupts the Earth's orbit.

An alien race that using a form of mind control makes everyone hate and fear the opposite sex to the point that we stop breeding.

A device fired into the sun causing it to go nova.

Someone invents a true Von Neumann nano-machine, but without proper controls they begin to eat the entire world turning it into replicas of themselves.

Not sure how we'd stop some of these if its possible.

Revised Hamidon Encounter

As the Hamidon encounter currently, well... Let's just say I'm not blown away by it...

I was thinking that perhaps Hammi should be more like a Giant Devoured, but perhaps somehow "connected" with the ground and in part burrowing under the city.

Parts of Hamidon ( think the Elemental from Hellboy II ) could then surface in parts of the city, which of course spill forth DE critters which have to be repelled, and the exposed bits of Hammi attacked.

Hammi Himself could still stay in the hive, but be more of a Biological Threat that could be fought by attacking weak points and more sensible means, that the current somewhat "un-fun" methods of taking down his Mito's.

Might make Hammi seem a bit more "doom" rather than being a big blob that nobody wants to fight anymore.

I love the Terminator style 'something becomes sentient and decides to fight back by nuking places around the globe' kinda scenario.

Miracle Mile was a film i enjoyed which played with the nuclear threat, too. But i doubt that'd work in Paragon City or Rogue Isles too well.

Sentient fog flowing out of Dark Astoria and slowly covering the city might be fun - maybe with some sort of travel power suppression, and lurking things in the fog.

Something to add to the halloween event maybe? Like in the missions where you have to save ghosts and defeat ghosts and have that de-buff effect fog in the offices...
