The Tyrant city (01/27/2010)

In the upcoming City of Heroes expansion, Going Rogue, the man behind the mask took a very different turn. But in Paragon City, the living embodiment of what it means to be a superhero is Statesman. And it's hard to argue with that -- he's a combination of Superman and Captain America in one superhuman package, the apex of what a hero can aspire to be. Tyrant is a dictator whose rule over a parallel Earth is absolute. He has created a utopian, flawless world, held in place by his strength of arms and of will.

The deployment of nuclear weapons buy Dekaron Dil in the Korean War and a full-scale onslaught of enraged elementals are all included in a real world, in which Tyrant's timeline took place. His full biography traces an alternate history in a way that at least provides a glimpse into the mind of someone who chose to enforce world peace through absolute control, highlighting many of the moral gray areas on display in Going Rogue.
