Back Alley Brawler Task Force

This article contains information about a system or idea that was never implemented into Homecoming: City of Heroes/Villains. It is provided for historical purposes.

Overview

The Back Alley Brawler Task Force was never implemented due to popular player request.

With Issue 23 and the aftermath of Statesman's and Sister Psyche's deaths, the Statesman Task Force was to be taken over by Back Alley Brawler, with a little rework done to update the story to reflect Statesman's death. However, due to popular request on the Official Forums and elsewhere, Ms. Liberty was decided to take over, which meant it would instead be renamed after her.

Reasons given for this suggested change included Brawler's "semi-retired" status not making sense for him to take over arguably one of the most important activities in the game (saving the world!), and that Ms. Liberty made a better choice to take up her grandfather's cause, among other things.

Note that both Ms. Liberty and Back Alley Brawler will remain in their current locations in Atlas Park, in addition to Ms. Liberty being added to Independence Port.
