Empire Breaches Reality
Barrier between worlds collapses; Malevolent forces descend on Paragon City as villains rise to join them.
Paragon City and the Rogue Isles are no longer divided by a simple war of ideologies. Late last night a catastrophic cosmic shift broke the barriers between worlds, and through the breach came a threat unlike anything the city has faced: the Malevolent Empire.
Witnesses describe forces that answer to no one on Earth. Several villain groups have already declared for the invaders. Others, sources say, are quietly asking the heroes they spent years fighting for help.
“This isn’t about turf any more,” one hero told the Times. “It’s about whether there’s still a reality left to argue over.”
