Strength

Roughly 2,000 heroes from across the continent who poured into the city to help over the course of 6 days.

While the original number of villains numbered at around 300, Darkseed's abilities brought this number up to about 5,000 total over the course of a week.

Casualties

About 500 heroes were confirmed dead after the conflict, with another 300 that are still missing. One must also note the deaths of almost half a million civilians, though there undoubtedly would have been far more if not for the intervention of the heroes.

All of the original X'ers were killed, including Darkseed. The remaining victims of Darkseed's powers were cured upon his death, though it is estimated that around 1,000 were killed and 2,000 suffering serious wounds from the battle.
