Paramilitary forces will dance(And flirt!) together if you have an awesome enough DJ.

Someone who has the Speedboost power always 6 slots it with run Enhancments and gives it to you right when you're about to run ahead into a mob causing you to run ahead 3 mobs and aggro all 3 of them. :P

Mortal enemies, like the 5th Column and the Council, will put aside their differences long enough to trounce a lowbie who happens to walk by ... but then those same guys will run from the same heroine when she gets a bit more experienced.

That even if the real life comic book characters were to go to Paragon City or the Rogue Isles they would get genericed.

*facepalms* I don't want to see that in the game - ever.

However I have learnt to not judge a super by their costume - while they may look like a ninja, they've likely got a pirate costume hidden somewhere.

that all crimes must be committed in the city with the highest heroes per captia in the US.

That a four year degree will not advance you as far as going down the local pub and beating down everyone who looks at you

That shoving a four foot spike into someone's chest is a 'proper arresting technique'

At birth every citizen as a 1 in four chance of becoming superpowered and a 2 in four chance of joining a local gang and becoming superpowered

The city is only in danger is someone is around to save it

"He looked like trouble" is perfectly reasonable just cause for an arrest

You can throw grenades, fireball and explosives around all you want. The entire city is sprayed down with asbestos annually.

The Ritiki invasion plan is: "show up in small, dislocated groups and wait for death"

Monkeys can be trained into semi-effective fighting troops

Pavements, rooftops and pedestrians are no obstacle to drop-shipping robots

Never ask a hero/villain where they keep those weapons they had a moment ago - the answer is never clean, sanitary or anywhere near safe

Hospitals can solve any medical problem in 30 seconds or less

The PPD solved a crime on their own back in '58 and haven't repeated the success since

Somewhere in Rhode Island, the world's foremost occult scholar has got one incredibly pervasive case of Alzheimer's.


Ice/Ice Blaster. Dedication to concept is an ugly thing.
Claws/WP Brute. Sex without the angst.
Every CoX character lies somewhere on this spectrum.

My spandex costume is so awesome, I'm able to carry around 30+ individual pieces of salvage despite not having pockets.

My Assault Rifle/Dual Pistols never run out of ammo... Ever.

That influence/infamy is not currency. Currency is regulated with forced scarcity designed to prevent run away inflation.

The same effects of extensive medical treatment and a solid 8 hours of sleep can be accomplished in all of 10 seconds when you 'take a knee'.

Just because someone has wings doesn't necessarily mean they can fly.

Flames. Can. Heal?

Finally...

Don't click the glowie.
