The most overused and underused characters in CoX lore

Apex should be the one to introduce us to Praetoria. I liked him in the comic book.

I'd like to see more Wyvern patrolling Paragon City, instead of Longbow.

I've always wanted to see more Civic Squad from Westin Phipps' arc. I always thought they should have crafted them to pop up thru your whole villainous career. And Heroside, they should totally have a contact and arc where they try to recruit you!

As for those of you clamoring for more Becky, there's some great AE arcs that continue her adventures in well-written style.

I haven't checked for any Penny Preston arcs, but I'm sure they're out there, too.

Overused:

Circle of Thorns: Early levels they can be a pain since most agree they are overpowered . Later levels we catch up so to add to the annoyance factor we get the dreaded COT Cave/bases that are a maze of twists and turns. I don't care what contact you are running arcs through at some point they feel the absolute need to throw in one mission where the actual villain group the contact has you dealing with battles COT. Seems l;ike they feel some need to constantly remind us "Hey Circle of Thorn are a MAJOR villain group in game"

Council: at least in the 20 levels. If you do the TFs to level between level 23-34 you battle Council on the Moonfire TF, Council on the Hess Tf and then again Council on the Citadel. Not one TF that ever deals with the Warriors, Tsoo or family also available in that level range.

Underused:

Fake Nemesis: Since its a requirement for one of the accolades it's amazing how few missions actually have any of these in them and a lot of players find themselves hunting in PI or the Shard to complete that requirement. I've suggested it before how about removing some of the WarHulks from Creys Folly or Eden and replacing them with Fakes

Back Alley Brawler.. Story line is fascinating but we barely see him anywhere besides a few missions scattered between red and blue side.

Jack Wolfe, just who is he supposed to be?

That giant robot in the volcano! For the love of EVERYTHING release the thing as a GM event once in a while!

Is it coincidence that the respec NPCs for heroes and villains (at least the original before Sawyer was added) both have wolf related names? Jack Wolfe / Arbiter Lupin

The Center didn't appear overnight. The Center was always the shadowy financial supporter that paid to outfit Requiem's army. I think it's hinted his ability is Super Charisma, or something, to keep all these various AVs under his thumb. Or maybe he just throws money at them. Money to Nosferatu to keep eugenically engineering troops, money to Vandal to keep building robots, money to the Nictus because not even evil alien overlords from beyond the galactic rim can do anything without money

Nemesis is great. Let's not forget - it's the player meme that really kicked him off - the whole "Nemesis plot" thing came from the player base and the Devs took it and ran with it, promoting him up the ranks.

I like the Center too... the very fact there's a kind of evil mastermind (small m) who never gets to be seen and controls huge factions of fascists is exactly how it should be done - someone with a long reach but personally untouchable.

I would love the Vazhilok to be given some more "oomph" - they are such a great villain group and yet their story culminates way too early.

I'd also enjoy seeing more Banished Pantheon - for an ancient death cult and malign gods they seem a bit weak for their story line. (Or at least, in game it's not obviously apparent how much power they wield.)

I'd also like to see the guy on the loading screen with the pony tail and tatoos used in game. Never seen him - don't even know his name.

And Willy Wheeler needs to get revenge on the villains that busted him.
