Not all who achieve great power choose to use it for the betterment of humanity, however, and even those with good intentions sometimes find themselves at crossed purposes. With such an abundance of extraordinarily able guardians, one might expect the City of Heroes to be the safest, best protected place on the planet. Players design their own characters, choosing a name, appearance, costume and colors, super power type, and even a secret origin, then take the roles of their custom superheroes to join thousands of other like-minded avatars in a fight for truth and justice online. City of Heroes is a second-generation persistent-world RPG that revolves around the community and conflict of a comic book metropolis that is recovering from a recent alien attack.

Gamers from across the globe cast aside their mild-mannered personas and assume superheroic alter-egos, to protect Paragon City from a host of strange and extraordinary villains.
