That's basically how I feel most of the time with other heroes fighting beside me. It all started in Independence Port. A team of 5 heroes not counting me were taking down Tommy One Eye on a cargo ship of his. I take a look around me and all I see is my team mates just taking out all of Tommy's flunkies with amazing powers and then there is me taking them out with good old smoke and mirrors. Great...I look to my left I see our 8 ft tank covered in stone and smashing through crowds. I look to my right and I see 2 of the girls on my team freezing and igniting every one insight...I look in front of me and see our swordsman just taking out groups in a flash...and my friend storm fury summoning strikes of lightning and hurricanes knocking out the rest. Then there is me, Magical act. What do I do? I make enemies faint from a nightmare or think they are dying?!?!?! Aren't heroes supposed to have real powers? Like throwing fire balls or electricuting bad guys? and I make things out of light great....We bring Tommy to justice and step outside tons of media...the group walks forward in their bright outfits and here I am in the back of the team dressed in a suit and a hat black and purple. The big man and our elemental duo start answering questions about the arrest and get swarmed by fans. No one wanted to talk to me so I just turned invisible and walked away. Don't really like the media to begin with but all the great heroes are beloved by them. Strike 2 and strike 3. Thats three things that all heroes have that I don't. I think its time to put up my hat and go home for good.

Alias: Magical act
Real Name: Cody Henter
Background:
Once a basically unknown archieologist Cody was with a group of explorers in an ancient temple of magician from Egypt. He fell down a trap hole away from the rest of his party. He landed in a room with a large mural depicting different monsters coming from a bowl of fire held by an old man. In front of the mural was a tome with ancient markings. Cody picked up the tome but that was all he saw. There was a flash of blinding light and the tome fused to his skin. The next day he woke up to find himself in the hospital. He learned that the expedition was a bust and that he was out of a job. In the hospital room he learned he could bend light to make different Illusions. In need of money and a job Cody became a magician in Las Vegas. He made millions but that all changed one night. It was a routine act when all of a sudden 3 masked thugs busted in and demanded money. Cody fearing his health turned invisible and hid for a few minutes until a gun fight between the guards and the thugs hit a little boy in the crossfire. Cody couldn't take it anymore. His eyes erupted in a wave of purple and black light. He ran behind the first thug and created a horrific illusionof gunshot wounds on the thug.He fainted from the sight. Cody then took the light around the second foe and the turned it pitch black causing the foe to be completly blind. The third one tried to run but when he turned to run he ran straight into four phatnoms and turned back to see his worst nightmare. He instantly fainted at the sight. Having the gunners beaten Cody went to the dying boy. In his last breath the boy aske Cody to show him his family one last time. He gave Cody their picture and Cody created illusions of each one of them. thats when it happened. The boy smiled and was slipping away when the phantoms touched the boy and then dissapeared. To everyone's amazement the wound was gone. It was then Cody didnt care about his job anymore he had a new one. He donned his cape, his mask and is hat and boarded the next train to Paragon City to protect those in need.

Post your stories

Part of operation Oracle. Cody was forced by government officials to take part in operation Oracle or they would kill his family. The project was to make the perfect head of U.S. Defenses. By submitting the pariticipant to electro therapy to his brain patterns he can detect the thoughts of other people even to the point of a remote person on the otherside of the world. It was to be used to detect any assination attempts or acts of terrorism. The public recieved wind of the project through a leak causing much uproar. The government tried to terminate the project but they would have to get rid of Cody too. They tried to secretly execute him but right before they were able to he concentrated all his thoughts on his capters shattering their minds and allowing him to escape. The agents then retaliated by killing his family.He now goes by Faceless fear. He has nothing to fear and nothing to lose. He does not hurt women or children that look like his family and tends to only attack agents,operatives and officials.

Hello to all that read this. My name is Magical act and I love Croatoa. When I was first sent there I fell in love with the area as soon as I stepped into the zone. Everyday there looks like halloween. I have been there since lvl 24 and now 32. So to show my love of Croatoa I am making a guide for heroes in Croatoa about the monsters there and the badges you get for defeating them.

Part 1. Back Ground
Croatoa is a part of Paragon City that is slowly being pulled into the spirit world. The enemies are the Red Caps, the Cabal, the Tuatha, the Ghosts of Croatoa and least but not least the Fir Bolg.


Enemies and the badges you get for them
Enemy: Red Caps
Red caps are evil gnomes basically who have trapped the Fir Bolg and the Tuatha and have pitted them against each other. The mortal enemies of the Red Cap are the Cabal.
Badge Earned: Cap Buster
How to recieve it: Take out 100 Red Caps. I actually got this badge in 1 mish. Quickest Way: Have a party of 8 and have the mish set at least on rugged. You dont get any Red Cap mishes until you get your third contact there a retired magic hero. If you still need to find some head towards War Witch's area and hunt around plenty there. Fighting Style:
Careful though Red Caps are deadly at any range. Rascals really aren't that hard but Hooligans(Lts.) and Fiends(Bosses) can use attacks like Burning Arrow. The boss can throw rascals at you that land on your head pounding you untill they explode.

Ghosts: The desceased residents of Croatoa are confused and scared, they even destroy their old home out of confusion.
Halfway through your first Croatoa contact you will get 2 ghost mishes but you will get more from your second contact there.
Badge Earned: Haunted
This one is pretty easy you should get it just by going through your missions. However if you still need more there is a graveyard in Salamanaca. At night it is swarmed by ghosts go in a badge party or by yourself.
Please note: This badge is not the same as the badge you get for defeating the crew of the ghost ships ectoplasmic.
Fighting Style: Ghosts attack with a wierd combination. It looks like they use transfusion and a re-animated version of Dark Blast only green.

The Cabal:
The mortal enemies of the Red Caps. The Cabal are the female version of the Circle of Thorns. They are basically Storm/Electric defenders. They use ghosts and tuatha for some of their spells and its up to you to stop them.
Badge Earned: Spell Binding
How to get it: Just like all the other badges for the Croatoa enemies just beat 100. I got this badge in one mission without ever fighting them before. Again a good 8-hero on rugged should do it You get your first mission against the Cabal from your first contact. It's the last one Gordan Bowser gives you. Your second contact gives you a cabal mission or two. If you need more still go through town where you can see them fighting the Tuatha and the Bolg.
Fighting Style: Again Storm/ Electric. They can fly and use Air Superiority. Lts. can use hurricane and 02 boost to help their allies.

Tuatha: The gigantic guardians of the forest. They used to be human but are now the behemoths you see before you. They are pitted in an eternal battle against the bolg.
Badge Earned: Bane of Dannan
How to get it: Just go through your contacts' mishes you will get it by some miracle you dont go to Salamanaca or the Misty Wood.
Fighting Style: They are able to hurl boulders, Quicksand, and can Animate stone but only the bosses can do that.

Fire Bolg:
Last but not least the Fir Bolg. Again they used to be people but have been turned into viney pumpkin headed monsters. The Red Caps have bound them to Croatoa as well and are forced to fight. Although they are small in stature they pack a fiery personallity and their bosses the towering Strengs are a force to be reckoned with.
Badge Earned:
Pumpkin Master
How to earn it:
Same as Tuatha just do the mishes and you will get it If not you can find them almost anywhere in Croatoa.

Closing:
Hope this guide helps all the heroes trecking through this amazing place If you see me around there and have a question just ask
