Question: How about that 5th column Gladiator / year 1 badge for villains?

I'd like it if it was awarded for having any combination of two anniversary badges - or maybe even three - like you could get it if you had the 2nd, 5th and 6th anniversary abdge, or 3rd, 4th and 5th, for example.

Honestly, I suppose we should get it for having the 5th anniversary badge.

Now that the 5th column are back in the game, it needs to be tied to something other than early anniversary badges.

Arc #271637 - Welcome to M.A.G.I. - An alternative first story arc for magic origin heroes. At Hero Registration you heard the jokes about Azuria always losing things. When she loses the entire M.A.G.I. vault, you are chosen to find it.
Just award it for defeating 100-200 5th Column minions. Or add a new 5th Column defeat badge and tie the gladiator to that.

Originally, that gladiator was a sneak peak that the 5th were coming back. Now that they're here, we should be crawling in 5th gladiators!

With that said I believe the fairest way to deal with the 5th column Gladiator is to reassign it as some kind of "defeat" badge as Matt_King suggested. With the 5th Column now re-established as a permanent group in the game there's no longer any reason to treat its associated gladiator as exclusively as it is now.

We've had a number of badges over the years which have had their requirements changed to reflect the changing nature of the game. The most notable one lately was the Power Liberator / Master Thief badge.

total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
I always felt anniversary badges should be awarded per account, not per toon. If you logged in ANY character during the anniversary event, you should get it on ALL your characters
currently reading: A Mighty Fortress (David Weber)
Now that Heroes and Villains are identical and can have all the same badges, I am curious onto if any future plans will allow villains to have access to the 5th Column Gladiator and perhaps some off-shoot of the year one badge..
In order to get the 5th Column Gladiator, you must have the Year 1 and Year 2 badges. This makes the 5th Column gladiator 100% exclusive to heroes only, as villains did not exist year 1.
Any chance anyone thinks they might try to award Villains this badge? Even if they made it just for villains that have the year 2 and 3 badge, I can't help but to think it's a little lame that my villain will always be two badges short of any heroes.
