Or maybe you don't have an arch-nemesis at all. The way I envisions it, it should be something you could initiate (and probably end) at any point in your character's career.

A difficulty slider controlling appearance frequency is a smashing idea, as well.

Ahem... The movie should be written as a Trilogy. The first movie should encompass the Well of the Furies only change it very slightly to make it appear that when they got their powers it opened the door for powers everywhere on the planet. Focus on Statesman and Recluse's rise but also bring in the world-wide adaptation to super beings in their midst.

Second movie reveals "Why" those powers were released. A mysterious being is revealled to have opened the Well. Hero and Villain conflicts are reaching a critical mass when the Rikti invasion happens. As respective leaders of their camps; Statesman and Recluse direct their sides to join forces against the common threat.

Final movie involves Hero 1's sacrifice and the end of the first major Rikti war. The world celebrates but not all is good between the Heroes and Villains. Though one might be tempted to end this on a "oh, we're all really good friends now" theme, it actually ends with a brawl between the major players hero and villain side. The battle is inconclusive; the villains retreat but are not destroyed. The final scene of the movie is Lord Recluse laying claim to the Rogue Isles and the President of the United States explaining to Statesman that politically they can do nothing.

Now that THAT little bit of ugliness is over with...

* City of Horror: Focus on the Zombie invasion! It's like every Zombie Apocalypse movie you've ever seen... but the survivors have super powers!

* City of Chick Flicks: A movie about how Manticore and Sister Psyche fell in love! It's a romantic comedy where Synapse plays the "dumb but endearing" friend and Swan turns in a supporting actress effort as the "sexy and distracting potential second love interest"...

* City of Sports Come-backs: The 5th Column has formed an evil, total-domination baseball team! A group of misfit superheroes, barely out of the tutorial, decide to stop them. The group of misfits try to harness their new (and sometimes faulty) superpowers and channel them into baseball and teamwork. Hilarity and heart warming camaradarie ensue until finally it all comes together at the last possible instant. The heroes win the pennant, the hearts of the baseball fans and many valuable lessons are learned.

* City of Space Operas: The evil Empire controls most of the Galaxy! It is up to a small band of rebels led by Luke Stateswalker, Princess Leiaberty, Han Synapse and Chewbaccalley Brawler to defeat the evil Darth Recluse and his Storm Spiders!

Another thing it seemed to miss was background material and the clue with the first survivor I rescued did not help much. Of course I didn't get far so I could have missed what has happened there except that people are protesting, the guards are politely driving protesters away and that a shapeshifting person is the top dog of the place. Of course that is crazy talk.

I noticed one tiny error though. I had to rescue 2 2 survivors. Not 2 survivors.
