Longbow belongs in the Rogue Isles. They're evil.

They spawn in significant numbers on both sides of the dam.
Paragon City maintains huge, insane, massive statues en-masse in several cities, while people starve to death in King's Row. Considering the spread of useless vanity items versus social aid and growth programs.. it's _really_ hard not to think of Paragon City as exactly like the Rogue Isles, only with more tax dollars to abuse.

You have to have a villain mentality to come to that conclusion |

A lot of the posts in this thread are people attempting to paint the entire thing with a fanon brush instead of looking at actual canon.

... well, even before we go into the comics, let's just walk around Atlas and then walk around King's Row. Did you even think before you typed your response?

I don't see any evidence of people starving to death in KR. I see you trying to spin a dingy area of the city into "People are starving to death in the streets!".

How about the hobo NPCs?
Edit: Hmm, scratch that. Almost all of the pedestrians look like hobos.

You ARE talking about the real City of Heroes, and not your imaginary version of it, right? Have you just never gone to the southern side of King's Row? Or are you just one of those people who MUST be right even if that requires denying reality?

Did you even take off your studded leather outfit with lots of chains, skulls and spikes on it before you tried to say Paragon City was the same as the Rogue Isles? |

You do know that the Lost don't count as real homeless people, don't you? |

Yes it does - you're looking at it from a Villain's perspective - and only a Villain could even try and suggest the two places were the same |

Leather, chains, skulls, and spikes are so cliche. The modern villain needs to be chic!

So are you saying the Rikti magically generated these homeless persons from thin air in order to use previously nonexistent starving homeless persons to infiltrate our society from the bottom up by... uhh I don't even get where your logic is coming from here.|

How can homeless people tempted by Rikti into becoming Rikti servants not count as homeless people?
If the Lost aren't "real" homeless people lured into working for the Rikti, then why does the canon plot insist they are?

There is no legal requirement to deport foreigners convicted of a crime in your country. There is often pressure to do so but it is acceptable to hold them for the length of their sentence and then deport them.| And not only that but they are holding the Villains in a prison which they shouldn't be doing... They should be deporting them. |
Quote:
| So they are taking war actions with soldiers and holding prisoners of war seemingly illegally... |
1. With the exception of Arachnos troops Rogue Island Villains do not meet the requirements to be considered PoWs. Specifically they don't wear a uniform identifying them as members of an organized military and therefore can be treated as spies rather than soldiers
2. There is no declaration of war between the US and the Rogue Islands and standard Arachnos procedure is to claim that any troops captured in Paragon City are actually rogue A.rachnos troops. Therefore legally any captured Arachnos troops are not POWs but simple criminals

She's joking. Disregard these posts when approaching the conversation seriously.
