Overview

The Regulators is a signature hero group led by Back Alley Brawler.

History

At the end of the 1970's, Paragon City saw a number of epic clashes between the Regulators and various street gangs and drug cartels. A former police officer, Michael White worked closely with Paragon City law enforcement to make sure that every criminal he and the Regulators brought to justice would see conviction in a court of law. Of course it didn't always work out that way, but more often than not, Regulator captives (and there were a lot of them) did their time in prison. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to be making much of a difference. Certainly crime rates went down, but the drugs continued to make their way onto the streets and into the hands of anyone who wanted them.

Unable or unwilling to try and stem the demand for drugs, the Regulators teamed up with the Dawn Patrol to go after the drugs at their sources. They launched a series of controversial attacks in South America and Central Asia, burning coca and poppy fields to the ground. These assaults, while popular in the US, were not very well received abroad, with over a dozen nations forbidding members of both hero organizations from ever setting foot or flying over their sovereign territory again.

Unfortunately, there was little lasting effect from these bold assaults. The dramatic, albeit temporary, decline in imported narcotics merely left a void that a cartel of chemical engineers rushed to fill. With cocaine and heroin in short supply, the streets soon found themselves awash in a new, laboratory made drug: Superadine. The Regulators now focused their attention on stopping this new drug.

After the Rikti Invasion, the Regulators were reduced to only the most powerful and toughest members. Back Alley Brawler has dedicated himself, along with the other Surviving Eight to train and help new heroes that have come to defend Paragon City after the devastation of the war.

Shortly after the Rikti War, the Brawler left to join the Freedom Phalanx, and Blue Steel worked directly with the PCPD. The remaining Regulators are presumed to either disbanded.
