Now THIS is how you get a Captain Mako fangirl into the game.
Somebody answer me this: who's bright idea was it to troll Mako?

| Captain Mako Week kicks off a Double XP weekend from 8:00 AM CDT on Friday August 10 through 8:00 AM CDT on Monday, August 13 and continues throughout the week with in-game invasions and more! Join us in Paragon City and show Captain Mako who tops the food chain! |

Speaking of sharks, just saw this video on Yahoo! News. The original on YouTube includes the colorful but understandable language that's bleeped out on the Yahoo! video.

It is true. I saw it on the History Channel.

So,
Shark week: Scale....Zero!

Give me fins!
Mako and a bunch of Corallax popping in out of thin air? Badge for defeating enough Corallax to spawn Mako and defeat him?
I'll pass.
Now if Mako and his coral-covered minions crawl up out of the ocean? I'm totally there.
Yes, it makes a difference. If Nemesis and his troops had arrived via mole-machines I wouldn't have ignored that one, either.
Otherwise it's just a regurgitated Rikti invasion.

I did write up a complete set of Fish Blast/Fish Manipulation/Fish Mastery/Piscine Resonance powerset description a LONG time ago. Powers included Puffer Fish Bomb, Sea Urchin Surprise, Shark's Blood, and Jellyfish Sting. It was quite a well-balanced set of themed powers...

Mako Week AND Double XP?
City of Heroes is full of fin! 
Questions about the game, either side? /t @Neuronia or @Neuronium, with your queries!
168760: A Death in the Gish. 3 missions, 1-14. Easy to solo.
Infinity Villains
Champion, Pinnacle, Virtue Heroes
Somehow I imagine the scenery of TPN, where a rampaging Mako and friends go assaulting the technicians and we have to stop him from disrupting the newscast?
As much as invasion events scare my new alts, this sounds like a lot of fun! What badge would we get for the event? The Bigger Boat? Shark Weak? Sharkspeare in Love? Land Shark?
Actually one thing I hope about this is that the invasions only occur in zones with large bodies of water and not landlocked zones. Probably won't happen since that leaves out like half of Paragon and none of the Rogues isles. But eh.

...a fish-slap to the face if we don't get one...
Apparently, I play "City of Shakespeare"
*Arc #95278-Gathering the Four Winds -3 step arc; challenging - 5 Ratings/3 Stars (still working out the kinks)
*Arc #177826-Lights, Camera, Scream! - 3 step arc, camp horror; try out in 1st person POV - 35 Ratings/4 Stars
And in a surprising move today by the Arachnos Public Relations Bureau, Lord Recluse and his top lieutenants have been given a public image makeover.
Your Friendly Neighborhood Lord Recluse is now backed up by Ghost Widow - The Friendly Ghost (who gets to have Halloween every day of the year! I wonder what her favorite candy is), Black Scorpion - Dancinest Superperson in Pocket D (Ask him to dance "The Robot" it's his FAVORITE!), The Heroic Scirocco - The Breath of Fresh Air (If you get the chance, ask him about his "secret identity" as a hero...), and last but not least, Captain Mako - The Smiling Cousin of Dolphins (If you're lucky, you may be able to spot "The Ballerina of the Seas" catching a quick bite to eat at Scrapburger in one of their many Sharkhead Isle locations)!
So there you have it folks! The debut of The Friendly Neighborhood Lord Recluse and his Amazing Friends, the Friendly Foursome!

Dear NCsoft, if you go through with this shutdown you've guaranteed you'll not see another dime from me on any project you put out, ever.

i am hoping hoards of coralax, shapers, and warders will spawn in the zones near water, granding special event badges and if you kill enough, you spawn Mako and Barracuda.|

it would be *AWESOME* if this enemy group is updated to include a few water blast attacks, given a new giant monster, and the spirit shark attacks were updated to look like actual sharks and be cast from some of the enemy group.
Lusca and Sally can come. Waterspouts too.
OH MY GOD WHAT IF THE LEVIATHAN UNDER THE ROGUE ISLES SPAWNS LIKE A GIANT GHOST SHIP OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!

The Rogue Isles has Mercy Island, Port Oakes, Cap au Diable, Sharkhead Isle, Nerva Archipelago, St. Martial, and Grandville. Seven zones.
Paragon City has Independence Port, Talos Island, Peregrine Island, Striga Isle... okay still kinda lopsided. Maybe also count zones with Sewer Network access? Or Founders' Falls, I guess. The Red River runs through Skyway City and the Hollows, maybe that's an "access point" too?
