Get your sorry self out of my face. Go talk to Psymon Omega if you want an introduction. Word is that he's a master psychic who can read minds. In any case, he's looking for someone who can help with his agenda—whatever that is. I sincerely hope it leads you to your doom. Psymon's got Mutant and Magic enhancements.
Psymon can be a bit arrogant, but as long as you don't cross him he won't melt your mind!
Information
Former Heroine
As the heroine Maverick, Darla Mavis fought evil in the ranks of Longbow. Until friendly fire from a Sapper stole her powers, that is. Now, Darla styles herself Dark Maverick, and she's dedicated to nothing more than revenge against her former friends. Working with Darla is a good way to find yourself in plenty of dangerous situations, but it's also a good way to build reputation.
Introduction
Villain. Guess I thought I'd be seeing you eventually. Your stock's been on the rise quite a bit lately, but I can help you turn that buzz into a full-blown cacophony. All you have to do is hurt a few people. Badly.

Story Arcs
Aurora fades
Souvenir: Aurora's diadem
You took this delicate silver diadem from Aurora Borealis after defeating her in an adventure you like to think of as:
Aurora Fades
It began long ago, before you made your first appearance on the Rogue Isles. It began with a young heroine named Darla Mavis, and her abrupt descent from grace. When she was young, Darla was hit by an errant blast from a Longbow Sapper, draining her powers forever. Her old teammates stopped having time for her. Paragon City at large forgot her completely. Furious, still wounded from the blast, Darla vowed that she would be forgotten no longer.
She became Dark Maverick. Bent on bringing pain to those she once served with, Darla sought the help of villains on the rise. It was while she was working with you that she learned of the arrival of a heroine in Hero Heights, someone whose defeat would rock Paragon City and bring the name of Dark Maverick to everyone's lips. She sent you to investigate, and you learned that the heroine was none other than Aurora Borealis, Sister Psyche's protegee.
You needed more information, so you broke into a Longbow base to obtain it. You learned the date and time of Aurora's arrival; to keep your knowledge a secret, you defeated all Longbow agents on hand.
Then you had only to wait. When Aurora Borealis arrived, you descended on her like a bird of prey. You left her for dead, though Longbow's enormous resources may yet be enough to restore the fallen heroine. Whatever happens to Aurora, you feel secure in the knowledge that your reputation is made. From now on, all of Paragon City's heroes would be wise to dread your name.
Missions
Take out a hero
(Story Arc: Aurora Fades. Mission 1 of 3)
Briefing
If we're going to work together, you have to understand one thing: I am not interested in being friends with you. You represent all that I've lost, and the only reason we're having this pleasant conversation is that we can help each other. I can get you the goods on certain "hero" types traveling in the Rogue Isles. You can take them out. You get to build your reputation and make a little cash, and I get some sense of... vindication? Solace? I enjoy it, anyway. That's all I know.
Mission Acceptance
I've learned that some sort of super-powered do-gooder is coming to the Rogue Isles shortly. I don't care who it is or why they're here; I just want them taken down. The first step is to find out more about the visit. You better start scouring the streets. Crimson Cove is the place to go.
Mission Objective(s)
- Defeat 10 Longbow
Clue: Travel orders
You stole these orders from a Longbow agent in Crimson Cove. They read:
"You have been selected as a member of the special detail tasked with protecting Aurora Borealis during her pending visit. Strictest security measures are in effect, no one outside of Longbow can learn of this assignment."
Debriefing
So, the hero coming to Nerva is Aurora Borealis. I knew her as Sister Psyche a few years ago, before she regained control of her own body and before I lost my powers. She was a self-righteous priss then, and I doubt she's improved much. I want to tear her down.
Get information about Aurora's arrival
(Story Arc: Aurora Fades. Mission 2 of 3)
Briefing
Aurora Borealis is coming to Nerva Archipelago, and while she's there I intend to throttle her pretty little neck. But we need to know where she's coming, and when. Sounds like a job for Villain, eh? I want you to find out about Aurora's arrival from one of the Longbow bases in Hero Heights. Only problem is, you'll have to defeat everyone inside to ensure no one warns her off.
Mission Acceptance
Yes, I used to work alongside Aurora Borealis. That was before one of my "teammates" robbed me of my powers and left me to this pitiful existence, paying scum like you for the merest scraps of vengeance.
In Hero Heights, it appears, Longbow occasionally forgets to lock the door.
Mission Objective(s)
- Defeat all Longbow agents
- Get info about Aurora's arrival
Clue: Longbow e-mail
You downloaded this e-mail from a Longbow computer. It reads:
"Upon arrival, Aurora Borealis will adress the Corps at Liberty Isle. Please have everyone ready to receive her."
Debriefing
You've done it! We now know exactly where Aurora's arriving -- at Liberty Isle! Now all that's left is to take her down.
Take down Aurora Borealis
(Story Arc: Aurora Fades. Mission 3 of 3)
Briefing
According to the info you stole, Aurora's just arrived at Liberty Isle. Now, don't blow this, Villain. For me, all this is a chance to make sure Paragon City doesen't forget the Dark Maverick. I guess a decent shrink would say there's nothing here for me but the past. But for you, this is a shot at a bright future. Take down Aurora Borealis, and everyone will want you working for them. We're talking big money, and a rep that's certain to get Arachnos on your side. So take her dow, Villain. Take her down hard.
Mission Acceptance
She won't go down easy, so bring back up. When you come back, I'm going to want details.
It wasn't easy to sneak in here unnoticed. Security is tight for Aurora's arrival
Mission Objective(s)
- Defeat Aurora Borealis (Hero)
Clue: Aurora's last words
When you defeated her, Aurora Borealis gasped: "You've beaten me. Truly, I fear for this world: a world that rewards evil like yours. I only hope someday you'll receive your just desserts."
Debriefing
To be honest, I tought I would feel elated when I learned you'd defeated Aurora. I tought I would, but I guess I was wrong. All I feel is...hollow. But at least I won't be forgotten by Paragon City's heroes. Not any more. And neither will you, Villain. They'll be gunning for you now. Hope you've got a good dentist.
