Overview
Rogue Arachnos is an enemy faction. They are commonly found in Warburg. Established as a splinter faction of Arachnos, they are actively opposed to the "softly, softly" approach taken by Lord Recluse, and support Marshal Blitz. Given the threat that the rockets of Warburg present to the world, the Rogue Arachnos faction seek to use them to their full capabilities as weapons. As a result, members of Arachnos are forced to choose: to support Lord Recluse and resist launching the rockets and thus potentially plunging the world into thermonuclear war, or to use them as the threat and leverage they are to bend the world to the will of Marshal Blitz?
Villain types
Underlings
Rogue Spiderling
These attack drones are used to soften up super-powered targets. Arachnos considers them very expendable, and uses them to record and monitor a threat's abilities before more expensive troops - such as Tarantulas or Forunatas - are deployed.
Powers
Chain Gun (Ranged, Lethal) Foe -Defense
Your Defense has been reduced by the Submachine Gun.
Full Auto Ranged, Lethal, High Damage over Time
You are being rattled by a Full Auto hit from an Assault Rifle.
Claw Melee, Moderate Damage, Lethal
You have been raked by a claw.
Minions
Rogue Mu Striker
Strikers are descendant of the long lost Mu, drafted into Arachnos service to fight both mystic heroes and the troublesome Circle of Thorns.
Powers
Flight Self fly
Mu can Fly!
Lightning Bolt Ranged, High Damage (Energy), Foe -Endurance
You can send a large blast of electrical energy at a foe, dealing heavy damage and draining some of Endurance. Lightning Bolt deals more damage than Charged Bolts, but recharges more slowly. Damage: High. Recharge: Moderate.
Lightning Blast Ranged, High Damage (Energy), Foe -Endurance
A focused electrical blast that can travel great distancies with high Accuracy. Lightning Blast drains Endurance, and is best fired from a distance, as it can be interrupted. Damage: Extreme. Recharge: Slow.
Rogue Crab Spider Slicer
Crab Spiders function much like SWAT teams in other cities, and are dispatched to deal with high-level threaths like super-types. They're equiped with full body armor, larger weapons and a set of mechanical spider arms that turn them into death-dealing machines.
Powers
Longfang (Ranged, Lethal) Foe -Defense
Your Defense has been reduced by the Submachine Gun.
Slice Melee, Heavy Damage (Lethal), Foe -Defense
You perform a Slice with your Claws, dealing a good ammount of damage. Damage: Moderate. Recharge: Fast.
Rogue Fortunata
Fortunatas are female Arachnos agents gifted with psychic powers. Those with aggressive abilities are tasked with taking down super-types, who often have little resistance to their deadly abilities.

The basic psionic attack does moderate damage and can slightly reduce a target's attack speed.
No Melee attacks No Hand to Hand
Rogue Fortunatas don´t have any Melee attacks at all
Rogue Tarantula
The Tarantula Exoskeleton Armor was developed by an Orb Weaver cell named Weaver One. It grants the user incredible strength and wires him directly to his weapons systems. Rumor is that the pilot must undergo a terrible treatment of some sort to properly graft with the suit.

Burning Claws (Melee, Lethal/Fire) Damage over Time (Fire)
The Burning Claws have set you on fire.
Armored Exoskeleton
Armored exoskeleton.
Lieutenants
Rogue Mu Adept
The most gifted Mu strikers are given far more than promotions and new uniforms: they are given eldritch secrets to unlock their inner powers. As long as they continue to use them in Arachnos' service, of course.
Powers
Flight Self fly
Mu can Fly!
Lightning Bolt Ranged, High Damage (Energy), Foe -Endurance
You can send a large blast of electrical energy at a foe, dealing heavy damage and draining some of Endurance. Lightning Bolt deals more damage than Charged Bolts, but recharges more slowly. Damage: High. Recharge: Moderate.

Mu Guardians pulse with the blood of their slaughtered ancestors in their veins. They have read unholy tomes, visited other planes of existence and performed dark sacrifices too terrible to mention to become the masters of the mystic arts.

Rogue Tarantula Queen
What terrible process pushes a woman to become one of these unholy terrors is a subject of much speculation. What is known is that their suits are little different from Tarantula Mistresses. Instead, it seems the user somehow suffers the upgrade. Tarantula Queens are incredibly powerful, but also quite mad.

Main article: Marshal Blitz
Marshal Jason Blitz used to be the Arachnos Marshal for the isle of Warburg, one of the western-most Rogue Isles, and is today the de facto ruler of it. Marshal Blitz commands a contingent of Rogue Arachnos that took over Warburg and uses its rockets to threaten Paragon City.
Marshal Jason Blitz believed Lord Recluse wasn't acting fast enough in his bid to take over the world. He found it tragic that the Web had developed so many incredible weapons and none of them were being used on the hated heroes!
When Blitz learned he was dying of cancer, he decided to speed things up a bit so that he could live to see the defeat of Paragon City. He murdered Governor Melody Harkness and took over the city with a cadre of troops loyal to him. Soon after, he demolished the false faþade on the Warburg Rocket at the centre of his city and started firing warheads armed with various toxins at Paragon City.
Lord Recluse promised the UN he would rectify the situation, but his troops have so far been stalemated by their rivals. (or so Recluse claims.)
