Badges by Issue

Overview

Badges were first added to City of Heroes in Issue 2, and quickly became a popular mini-game between players to see who could get the most, or get them all. As the game has progressed, the number of possible attainable badges has continued to rise. This article provides a convenient reference for what and how many badges were added when.
