Hamidon Sighting in Praetoria?

There are other populated cities, a couple of the Praetorian missions mention sending people and/or supplies out. Makes ya wonder. If it took Cole to stop Hamidon, what's stopping Hamidon from stomping these other cities into the ground? Who's protecting THEM?

There are other world leaders mentioned briefly during the 1-20 content, who are coming to meet with Tyrant, and Aaron Walker also talks about Tokyo being rebuilt.

Maybe Sonic Barriers are used on those other cities.
We know Cole somehow did something to Hamidon that made him vulnerable to the Sonic Fences.Spreading this technology could be part of his plan.
Check out all of Noble Savage's Art threads! All things art, Super Boosters, 'Lost' Costume Pieces, Buildings, Animations, and NPC Costume Piece Conversion Cole can't be the only super powerful individual in the world. If these cities survived, then they must have had defenders.

Just wondering if the tentacle is a bit of environmental graphic wizardry like the dust devils or is an actual creature spawned outside the barrier.
And if one were able to get past the barrier would it be attackable.
Don't count your weasels before they pop dink!

Any level 50 is barely hurt by the sonic barrier's damage

i'll pass on that offer, thanks. One of the side effects seems to be compulsively using the wink emote as punctuation, while the other side effects are worse. And that's not even as bad as the intended effects.

Besides, they obviously deserve it, otherwise they'd magically know that the Resistance are the good guys no matter how they may look and act, and would welcome dying at their hands for the greater good. Remember, evil actions are only evil when performed by evil people. If it's the good people performing the atrocities it's an acceptable necessity for the greater good and thus not really evil. Or something like that. Never quite caught the hang of reverse-logic the way GG has, so i might not be doing it right.

I immediately thought of Alan Moore's variation on Captain Britain, Captain Airstrip 1, particularly since Hero 1 distinctly resembles another version of Captain Britain.
