The Reality Storm event is mentioned twice in Champions Universe for Sixth Edition (the most recent one), although few details are given. It's part of the official PnP setting history.

When I answered this question previously, I overlooked a passage from Champions Universe 6E p. 76:

"For many years the most powerful superhumans in the region [Latin America] were a supervillain group, Terror Inc., which maintained a well-defended headquarters on an island off the coast of Peru. But in 1998, the group self-destructed when two of its members, Scorpia and Feuermacher, murdered its leader, Professor Muerte, and defected to Eurostar (taking much of the group’s technological and data resources with them). Terror, Inc.’s agents abandoned the island (whose facilities were later destroyed in bombing raids conducted by the US Air Force) to join existing criminal groups or form gangs of their own.

The group’s one remaining member, a superstrong brute named Giganto, retreated into the isolation of the Amazon jungle and wasn’t seen for a long time. Eventually, with much of his intelligence restored due to treatments funded by the hero El Dorado... he re-appeared as a member of La Brigada de Victoria (“The Victory Brigade”), a superhero team based in Rio de Janeiro but active all over the South American continent, and sometimes in the Caribbean."

Thanks for adding that, while I was more or less up to date with the first part the Giganto's redemption was not something I had in mind or was aware of. As I am posting I'd wish to drop some few more questions, in case such can be done:

1st Returning to a previous question regarding the "embodiments" and the like, would it be viable to create a character that can act as something like a "darkness is evil" personification, since darkness is usually associated with villainous characters and forces in human understanding? Is there any world (besides the Shining Darkness) on official lore that stands as a void, so to speak, of darkness?

2nd Multifarian technology is expected to be wildly different from the typical CU's due to the merging of several time periods and ages, has there ever been any comparison? And if not (or yes), can we assume it is at least as potent as the common super technology employed by typical super heroes and villains?

:D .

There's certainly precedent for such a character. While I can't think of any other "dark dimensions" as such besides the Shining Darkness, the supervillain Eclipsar "is an immensely powerful quasi-mystic being who wields a power known as the Darklight. The ultimate embodiment of shadow, darkness, and evil, the Darklight allows her to blast her enemies, confine them in bindings or spheres of pure force, protect herself, and travel instantaneously across planetary distances. It also infuses her body, making her very difficult to harm or affect in any way." (Champions Villains Vol. 3, p. 92)

There's also the martial-arts villain Shadowdragon, who wields a mysterious force of darkness, like "dark ch'i." Shadowdragon believes that as a child he was contacted by a sentient entity of darkness who taught him how to use this power in exchange for performing acts of evil. Whether this is true or a delusion is unclear; in any case Shadowdragon is now utterly evil himself. He's fully described in CV 3 pp. 250-52.

OTOH darkness isn't automatically associated with evil in the CU. The leader of the superhero team the Sentinels, Black Rose, draws on "dark mystical energies" which pervade the dimension of Lythrum, which its inhabitants use for many effects; but the energies have no inherent moral component. (Black Rose is fully written up in Champions Universe: News Of The World.)

EDIT: I have to amend my last point above, based on further description of the dimension of Lythrum in Book Of The Empress p. 141. Apparently "the nature of this mystic shadowstuff tends to be a corrosive force that corrupts the soul if one lacks the willpower to control it instead of being controlled by it. Many a Lythruman sorcerer (or scientist) has turned to evil as a result of this effect, forcing the better-natured Lythruman mystics to spend a great deal of time and effort combating them."

Technology in the Multifarian is briefly discussed in Book Of The Empress, and it's a very curious situation. Since both the "past" and the "future," from our perspective, co-exist there, technologies both more and less advanced than present-day Earth are in use. However, the unique natural laws of the Multifarian "also 'balance the scales' so that most forms of technology remain equally effective despite advances that rendered them obsolete on CU Earth. For example, in CU Earth, an air battle that pits jetfighters against zeppelins means the zeppelins don’t stand a chance. But in the Multifarian the natural laws somehow 'tilt the balance' so that early twentieth century airships are just as tactically viable and effective as advanced warplanes — it all boils down to the skill of the user and the tactical situation more than the technological 'imbalance.'" (BOTE p. 136)

Okay, so... the 900 day vet reward title is "Vanguard of Thaar."

Is "Thaar" anywhere in the CU mythos? What is it, exactly?

Thaar is a city of bird-people, ruled by King Gudra, hidden on a mist-covered island in the Southern Indian ocean. The people of Thaar bear no relation to the manimals, having existed for at least 12,000 years. Thaar first contacted modern civilization in 1965, but have chosen to hide their presence from mans world.

Robobo made a post that hinted Thaar would be relocated up north. so we'll have to wait and see how much Cryptic changes.

Would Thaar's inhabitants be something that Dr. Moreau would be interested in?

Like Thundrax mentioned the bird-people of Thaar have no relation with the Manimals. Still, Moreau, and perhaps any other similar villain, could have some interest in them. On a side note, the bird-people are the result of genetic manipulation by unknown alien figures which could also serve as the basis for a character. Thaar is mostly isolated from the regular world, but its existence is known to public, making a villain learning of its existence a simple process.

Well, with this info and the bird-people costume set that was also given with the 900-day vet reward, I'm thinking of making a Thaar character.

Are they technologically advanced? Would they use guns or swords? Do they use magic?
