This article is about the developer Joe "Hero 1" Morrissey. For the signature character Hero 1, see Hero 1.
Overview
Hero 1, whose real name is Joe Morrissey, served as the senior designer and lead writer on City of Heroees under Cryptic Studios and later Paragon Studios.
I've been a writer/designer for about 10 years now, starting at Blizzard North working on Diablo II, the expansion and anything else us "Northies" thought was a good idea at the time. From there I went over to Backbone and learned how to roll up my sleeves and get down and dirty in design. I worked on a number of handheld games the highlight of those being Death Jr. 2. About a year ago, my wife and I found out we were going to have our first kid and that meant a couple lifestyle changes needed to occur. The main one being a job much closer to home. I applied at Cryptic Studios and apparently I "interviewed well," a fact Positron is quick to point out anytime that I make his life difficult.
