Grandville, Rogue Isles -[ap] The hero known as Statesman, along with the rest of the Freedom Phalanx was defeated today in Atlas Park in Paragon City, Rhode Island, by a group of Villains led by Lady Nogitsune of the Infamous.
An opening salvo of Ballistic Missiles softened the do-gooders up, as twisted radioactive mockeries of human life began to thrash the brave heroes of the Phalanx. Then, the various superpowered villains got their own hands dirty. A slight glimmer of hope was dashed when the villains suddenly withdrew leaving only Positron and Citadel standing.
Hope was short lived, as the villains returned in force and subdued the remaining heroes.
Positron in a later interview expressed concern at the theft of eight items he called Synthetic Hamidon Origin Enhancements.
''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat
them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''
