Much like my Dark Control page, this page is more of a suggestions & ideas as well as sandbox, though this page is specifically for NPCs and enemy groups.
Contents
Hellions
Just a minor suggestion on the end-game versions of the Hellions.
Minions
Blood Brother
Description
These Hellions still haven't gained any demonic powers, but have pushed themselves to a level higher than the original blood brothers none the less. They are just as dangerous as any super-powered Hellion like the fallen or the damned, and shouldn't be taken lightly.
Powers
Brawl (Melee) Foe Moderate Damage(Smashing)
When all else fails, you only have your two fists to rely on.
Fire Bomb (Ranged) Foe Moderate Damage(Smashing), Moderate DoT(Heat)
Throws a home-made firebomb at a foe, igniting them for a short time.
Spitfire (Ranged Cone) Foe Moderate DoT(Heat)
Spits fire in a wide arc, burning all foes in front of you.
Molotov Cocktail (TAoE) Foe Moderate Damage(Heat), Minor DoT(Heat), Knockback
For a Hellion, this must be what you call 'the fancy stuff.'.
Lieutenants
Fallen
Description
In the satanic worldview of the Hellions, falling is a good thing. The fallen have proven their willingness to take on any power the gang's mystic artifacts can give them, no matter how twisted or base. The hellfire that burns within them can be called forth to incinerate their enemies.
Powers
Fire Blast (Ranged) Foe Moderate Damage(Heat), Minor DoT(Heat)
Hurls a blast of fire at a foe.
Scorch (Melee) Foe Moderate Damage(Smashing/Heat), Minor DoT(Heat)
A heated punch that ignites the foe for a short time.

A two-handed overhead smash heated up with fire.
Fire Breath (Ranged Cone) Foe Moderate DoT(Heat)
Spews fire forth in a large area in front of the user, igniting all foes.
Bosses
Damned
Description
The hellfire burns bright inside the leaders of the Hellions. They can call it forth to incinerate their enemies in a number of painful ways.

A damned may draw out some of their hellfire to heal themself and protect them from cold damage for a short time..
Blaze (Ranged) Foe High Damage(Heat), Minor DoT(Heat)

Consume (PBAoE) Foe Moderate Damage(Heat); Self +Endurance(Per Foe)
Draws in and consumes the body heat of all nearby foes to recover endurance.
Urban Empire
A new dimension and its inhabitants recently found by the Portal Corporation was aptly named after the ruling government that exists there: the Urban Empire. It is a ... less cultured world, being little more than a medieval system applied to a very unruly lot of thugs. Despite their anarchic-looking lifestyles, the citizens of this world seem to adhere closely to an almost worship of their ruling power, favoring order over street brawls with any outsiders they find.
The Portal Corporation of their world seems to know little more than minor teleportation, which evidence points to their lack of a Rikti invasion (assumedly meaning they never recovered technologies such as medicom teleporters and the like). The empire itself, however, still poses a threat in the sheer number of "active citizens" it recruits.
Heroes visiting this zone for information collection or other tasks should always exercize caution, as any natives encountered could be armed to the teeth.
NOTE: This idea is not only a villain group itself, but rather a (co-op) zone idea, accessed through both Portal Corps and Arachnos. I know, I know, co-op isn't always that great, but personally I didn't want to give it to either heroes or villains only. The above text was a hero briefing on the zone.
Minions
Punk
Description These young hotheads are not the brightest bunch, but they are extremely loyal to their 'rightful' leader. This makes them a valuable asset to the Urban Empire which is smart enough, and strong enough, to utilize their talents. The punks' gang-related activities have taught them well, and they are pretty good shots with their pistols.
Powers
Weapon: Dual Pistols
Brawl (Melee) Foe Minor Damage(Smashing)

Empty Clips (Ranged Cone) Foe Moderate Damage(Lethal), Knockdown
Good at close range. Fires a cone of bullets and can knock some foes down.
Arsonist
Description
The arsonists probably suffer from some form of pyromania. They likely hide some deep-seeded trauma or have some background of family dysfunction. None of that matters now, as their only pleasure is to burn things, and people, to the ground.
Powers
Molotov Cocktail (TAoE) Foe Moderate DoT(Heat)
The arsonist has set you on fire with his molotov cocktail!
Spit Fire (Ranged Cone) Foe Moderate DoT(Heat)

Bosses
Enforcer

Bruiser
Description Sometimes brute strength alone earns a citizen highest ranks. The bruisers are just such an example: bulging husks of men with muscle to spare. Unfortunately their high strength tends to come from a lifetime of shunning school, so they tend to not be the brightest bunch.

Urban Legend
Description
