City of Heroes is a game put out by NCSoft and Cryptic Games.  The following images from does not infer or claim to ANY copyrights or trademarks.  This is SIMPLY a fan site depicting characters and images from the game.  PLEASE - if you like superhero action and Massively multiplayer Online RPG games -- This IS the game!.  I have been playing this game since launch for over 3 years.   

I started in May 2004, getting on the Infinity server with Doug, an old RPG friend of mine, originally from Wichita. But shortly after we began, Andrew and Bill contacted us -- they had started on the Virtue server.  Virtue has become my main home - but I've gone with Doug to Pinnacle as a reserve.  Infinity has been resurrected as well, mainly for a certain super groups.   I've also tested several alts from Square one there feeling out the changes in the Post- Issue #2 environment of City of Heroes...

Shortly after we reached level 10, Cyrex and Sub - Zero set up a super group for The New Pantheon, recreating a group we had originally for a DC Heroes team when we all played paper RPGs.  Without a Forum home the New Pantheon has died somewhat, and most members have gone elsewhere.  It seems that without a descent website, there is a probably getting a group going and active. 

We made a lot of mistakes in those early days, and there weren't as much in the ways of shortcuts to just plain leveling your character.  Now adays I can get a character to 14 in a weekend.  Back at the beginning it would take me over a week -- if not two.  Of course every update to the game, or Issue as they call them, has changed the game by adding new rules, slicker interface features, new emotes, costume elements, new zones, new missions, and other elements, any one of which can completely change the game -- usually for the better.  With the exception of "enhancement diversification", I've liked practically everything they've put into the game. 

Check my Blogsite for City of Heroes links -- I'm putting them there as I find them, including links to various super group sites.  It also has a running history of what I've done in the game complete with several screenshots.

I've got several characters - I do keep switching depending upon server loads, supergroup activity, and other factors.  On Guardian, there is Guardian Xur.  On Freedom, Professor Infinity.  On Victory we have Killer-Whale, Mr. Panama, Maelstromus, and Psironic. I've not done MUCH City of Villains lately other than Bloody-Bat and/or Shieldwall.

Former characters Crimson-King, Cyrex, Daemone, Mr. Impossible, Goldforce,  and Thoughtwave have been removed from Virtue.

Current efforts are focused on Virtue -- Flagborn, Doctor Futura, The Mud-Dauber, and Atomfire
