I was just researching Rhode Island for fun tonight when I ran across a certain line in the Wikipedia entry:

Quote:
In 1636, Roger Williams, after being banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony for his religious views, settled at the tip of Narragansett Bay, on land granted to him by the Narragansett tribe. He called the site Providence and declared it a place of religious freedom. Detractors of the idea of liberty of conscience sometimes referred to it as "Rogue's Island".[13]
So..... Rhode Island, where Paragon City resides, the City of HEROES, was once actually called the "Rogue's Island"?????

Shocking! The devs may hate villains, but apparently some of Paragon City's earliest founders LOVED "Going Rogue".
