A special event is a period of time during which the game(s) are altered. To date, there have been several special events. They are:

  • The Winter Event 2005, which took place in December 2005 and early January 2006. There were three stages to this event.
    • On December 8, 2005, where heroes would receive the Longbow Reservist Badge and villains would receive the Jet-Setter Badge by logging in. Both heroes and villains received a temporary power, the Holiday Rocket Pack.
    • On December 15th, Agents appeared at helicopters in Paragon City and Operatives appeared in the Rogue Isles offering missions for characters which rewarded badges. Heroes were to go recover stolen presents and upon completion, they would receive the Holiday Spirit accolade. Villains on the other hand would go steal presents and receive the Scrooge accolade.
    • Then on December 19th, mysterious presents appeared all over the Rogue Isles and Paragon City with two possible outcomes. If you were "Naughty", the Winter Horde would appear. If you were nice, you would receive a Present Inspiration. The appearance of the Winter Horde allowed characters to receive the Cold Warrior Badge. Also, if you opened 200 presents, you would receive the Toy Collector Badge.
