Welcome to the City of Heroes / City of Villains Wiki
Welcome to City of Heroes and City of Villains, the online world that's home to an entire universe of heroes and villains, where you and thousands of other players take on the roles of super powered heroes and villains in a stunning, 3D graphical world.
This wiki is intended to be a central repository of all things that have to do with NCSoft's two MMORPG's, City of Heroes and City of Villains. This wiki is a community effort. If you cannot find the information you are searching for, please add it to the wiki for other users to see.
To find information, use the search box on the left, or feel free to browse the available categories.
This wiki is provided by the Paragon City Free Press, a fansite dedicated to the enjoyment of City of Heroes and City of Villains by providing more depth to the game.
Please see the Editing User's Guide for information about how to write and create articles for this wiki.
Recent Updates
- At long last! The article on Inspirations has been added. Special inspirations for the Winter Event 2005 are included, as are obsolete inspirations that have been retired from the game.
- Most of the the City of Heroes achievement badges that I can personally verify have been added. If you personally know of more (and I know there are several more), please add them!
- The two event badges and the temporary power mentioned in the top news item below have been added.
- ClydeJr has written an article about Vivacious Verandi, a contact in St. Martial. Great job!
- A work-in-progress article about Bounty has been added to document what you can get in Siren's Call for defeating enemies.
- A new format for powerset documentation has been developed, as seen in the Energy Melee article. Compare this with the format used for powersets such as Dark Armor, and it has a lot more information. The powersets will take a long time to document, so any help would be appreciated!

Winter Events Continue!
Last week, we got a new toy and a badge. Today begins Lord Recluse's Operation Scrooge and Miss Liberty's Operation Holiday Cheer to counter his nefarious plans. Along with the festivities comes another accolade and a special new look for the heroes and villains of Paragon City and the Rogue Isles! See all of the updates in the Winter Event 2005 article.

The Winter Events of 2005 have begun! Beginning today, all characters logging in will receive the Longbow Reservist Badge (if the character is a hero) or the Jet-Setter Badge (if the character is a villain). In addition, all heroes and villains will receive the Holiday Rocket Pack as a whopping 30-day temporary power! See Miss Liberty's Radio Address and Black Scorpion's Memo for the announcement.

New Admin: Arkenor
First of all, I'd like to welcome Arkenor aboard as the first site co-admin. He's been an invaluable member of the wiki, having contributed and edited several articles, and even catching a couple of vandalism attempts.
Maintenance Monday: 2:00am EST
This Monday, November 28, I am going to run some routine maintenance on the Paragon City Free Press site, including the wiki, beginning at 2:00am EST (7:00am GMT). During this time I will be backing everything up, shuffling a bunch of stuff around, and optimizing the databases. I hope to be done by 6:00am EST (11:00am GMT). Hopefully, it won't take that long, but I can't swear that it won't take a little longer.
During the outage, the site will be redirected to an "Under Maintenance" page.

City of Villains Survey
Today, I received an e-mail from a psychology researcher for the University of Queensland, Australia conducting a study on social aspects of online game play such as how people adjust to playing a new game and how they come to identify with their new character.
He is seeking respondants to a short survey (approximately ten minutes). To encourage players to take part, they are offering 12 free months of gameplay to one randomly selected participant. If you are interested in taking the survey and entering the drawing, visit the survey site. I've also added a site link on the left in the "links" list.
