[ Halcyon City: a shining metropolis on the coast of Lake Michigan, filled with all sorts of nonsense. Superheroes on a scale mostly unheard of in the rest of the US. Aliens living in plain sight, with their own sections of the city (where else would you get authentic Martian cuisine??). High tech, magic, Egyptian gods and people back from the dead by unknown means.
It's a big, weird place. Weirder than San Fransokyo, and maybe bigger too.
Tonight is no different. When the alert comes in that a local tech factory is getting assaulted by supervillain goons, there's already a super on the scene. Blond and unmasked, but with light body armor and a headband that nonetheless changes the shape of his face enough to make him difficult to recognize out of context. Thunderstruck crackles with electric power as he punches the goon closest to him, then follows up with a blast of electricity direct to the face. A pretty effective stun - plenty for a normal encounter, except ...
Man there are a lot of goons here tonight. And Thunderstruck here has really not yet mastered the art of mustering a large scale EMP yet. The first goon goes down, yes, but all of a sudden there's three more grabbing at him. He could really use an assist. ]
