Sneak Peak

This section contains information about a past event in Homecoming: City of Heroes/Villains. It is provided for historical purposes.

In an April 28, 2009, interview at Massively.com[1], Positron said that the third booster's theme would be "superscience".

The next Super Booster is "Superscience" so players can look forward to crazy lab experiments and even cooler costume-change possibilities than we've ever offered before.


Also on April 28, 2009, Positron gave several clues to possible inclusions/exclusions during the anniversary event (partial chatlog):
