Overview

Praetoria as seen in the CoH: Going Rogue trailer

Praetoria, also known as Praetorian Earth, is a utopian alternate Earth, under the rule of Emperor Cole, who is known to the heroes of Primal Earth as Tyrant.

Praetoria is, in fact, a "mirror universe", where, unlike on our Earth, the most famous superbeings are twisted and evil, having given in to their darker sides. The Praetorian Archvillains are not as strong as their Paragon City counterparts, but they still prove a challenge to all but the most powerful of heroes.
