A hero's favorite time of year, unless, of course, the designers do something annoying, like take the already irksome "Rikti Invasion" event and cross it with a trope as desperately overcooked as "zombie apocalypse". Ugh.

Still, it used to be my favorite seasonal event, and in honor of that, I'm exercising my evil modly authority and resurrecting this old post, just because I can.

Two and a half or so years ago, when a young hero called Captain Positron moved to Paragon City from the sticks, the Paragon City authorities made him change his nom de guerre on account of a certain guy who stands around in Blyde Square not doing much of anything. Out of respect for that hero's many achievements before he retired to a life of standing around on street corners and bobbing annoyingly on web pages, the young Captain did so without demur.

In the time since then, the renamed Captain Photon has become a well-respected hero in his own right, if not as lofty a figure as Positron himself. He's worked with Positron, assisting his former namesake as the leader of (aptly enough) Task Force Photon. As a member of the Freedom Phalanx Reserve, he's even become Positron's sort-of-teammate, and he considers the elder hero a personal friend.

And now that Halloween has come again... it's time for a little payback.

Y'know to take it a step further... It could be funnier if there was a flash mob event on Halloween of heroes standing around in Blyde Square wearing facsimile Positron costumes going "I am Positron!" :D

Eh. This year they'd just be attacked by zombies. Feh. Friggin' zombie event.

(if you look closely, he's not dressed as Positron anyway; he's dressed as Anti-Matter. :)
