Knights Vigilant: Tourism for Villainy

First appearance of supersmart gadgeteer villain The Genie.

In simultaneous attacks, people wearing the logo of Revelations Inc take hostages at strategic points throughout New York City to protest the ongoing trial of "The People of New York vs Randall Kentis". All transportation routes through the city are brought to a standstill . . . except for The Rooftop Express. Knight Thrasher swings into action!

Loki Orinson joins the Knights Vigilant supergroup! There are basically 3 members of this team who did not start out their careers as villains: Mr. Glass, "Statesman" (Trickshot), and Taki. One of those is retired, one of those is on the fence as he was a mercenary for hire, and one of those keeps recruiting all these villains.

As they narrow down the choices for their new home turf in the northeastern USA, the Freakshow run a competition. Who will be their ultimate leader's favorite raiding team? Who will get the choicest assignments to create chaos?

This homage adventure introduced some of our tabletop group to our favorite MMO!

Knights Vigilant: Mudslinging

In American politics, the tactic of 'mudslinging' is considered a dirty trick that reflects badly on the candidate or lobbying group who use it. Yet in other parts of New York City's culture, mudslinging campaigns are used as a matter of routine! What makes Sam any more deserving of indignity than Caleb?

Knights Vigilant Adventures: Villain Blues

An adventure from the early days of the team, who weren't calling themselves Knights Vigilant yet.

The Watchmen got established as the official United Nations-sanctioned superteam.

On Try number 2, Feral manages to find Puma.

On the day that a theft-for-hire team happens to be enacting their plan ... which includes the assassination of the big, short-tempered man, as part of framing him for their employer's deeds.

Too bad for them that David Ironhorse's behavior patterns change when he's glaring at any of his former teammates.

Feral goes on a personal errand to New York City, trying to locate her former teammate and sometime enemy Puma. Her contact's contacts {in SAFEGUARD, though Feral never knew that} had almost accurate information on his current jobsite: the upper floors of a skyscraper close to the United Nations.

Almost accurate.

Instead of an angry blond beefcake, the increasingly frustrated leopard woman finds a mercenary squad on a destructive mission of their own....

During a cocktail meeting of the private financial backers for the Watchmen in a renovated section of New York City, some hundred gang members (at the remote direction of the new Simon Phoenix II) cut out the neighborhood power and phone grids, and wreak havok through the city block. It seems that Simon's mutated pet creature, "Fluffy", had been (briefly) confiscated from him in this neighborhood, and he wants to get revenge by depriving area businesses of their animals, money, overseas business contacts, and lives.

Several criminal organizations pool their resources to pull off a city-wide job on Black Friday. They steal all the babies under 18 months of age from the shopping malls of Metropolis, and arrange to auction them off in lots and ship them away into the adoption black market from a private air strip in NYC.

Bubba Jordan comes to his Auntie Rissa with a personal mission: an impostor has cruelly framed one of Bubba's two personal heroes for a bank robbery, and it's up to Bubba to clear Big Bird's good name. But, as Bubba (like Big Bird) is a perpetual six-year-old child, he needs an adult sidekick to help chaperone him through the investigation.

Harley Quinn and Knight Thrasher have a weekend-long date. Every New Yorker and no few citizens of nearby Gotham City have an opinion on this social event.

When "Special Projects" at the Gironde School needs a quiet intel pickup from a rainy corner of New York City, Jean-Claude Gironde assigns the task to the two adults in the building currently most on his nerves: Sleet and Blackjack. He then puts it out of his mind.

It should have been a quiet, six hour round trip assignment, including twenty minutes for the pickup and forty minutes for a casual meal.

Instead, a mercenary named Retro kidnaps them.

Self-styled "Reverend" Randall Kentis begins his trial for his attempted theft of the General Assembly building at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City. His attorney tries to file a motion for a change of venue and is promptly quashed. Special Witness for the Prosecution Tony Stark will testify as to the farthest reaches of current technology on whether such a relocation could actually have happened, regardless of the level of superscience. Other planned witnesses include Max Abramovitz, the surviving member of the architectural firm which oversaw the construction of United Nations Plaza.

Members of Revelations Inc are protesting this trial in capital cities around the globe.

Will Knight Thrasher be called to testify? Stay tuned!

Knight Thrasher gets mutated for a while. Feral kills Rafferty, a previously unmet Hybrid Minion from the Omega series. When it comes to Rafferty, death generally does not take.

Jenny Rollinson is kidnapped from her office, then rescued by Knight Thrasher.

Plans made by Wyldfire -- even "final exam via live exercise" plans -- seldom go smoothly. Tempest, the daughter of a United Nations ambassador, is not immune to this trend even if her stay is short.

Randall Kentis, official founder of the anti-metahuman movement "Revelations Inc" and secret sponsor of the somewhat more extreme grassroots terrorist organization "Friends of Humanity", launches himself to the international stage by attempting to physically relocate the United Nations building out of the corrupt, monster-worshipping state of New York.

New Yorkers are not going to have some ignorant, authoritarian pseudoPuritan stomp on one of the greatest cities in the modern world.

Knight Thrasher conclusively wins the hearts of his home city when, mostly on live television, he brings the Revelations Inc plot to a grinding hot; personally disables the bizarre machines being used to uproot the UN Building from its moorings; and, finally, satisfyingly, renders "Reverend Kentis" immobile and silent. All while keeping up a running commentary in the best tradition of the comic book industries native to this city since National Allied Publications, Inc., opened its doors in the early 1930s.

It was just supposed to be a simple bodyguard/chaperone task, not even a real Wyldfire operation ... but then a hostile psionicist went after the ambassador's daughter.

Rissa and Angelica, out visiting NYC, are attacked by mercenaries of an unknown organization. These heavy hitters, who call themselves "UniSols", are the result of a super soldier serum program that may have had its origins in the old Project Strongman notes. This latest duplication must not have gotten its subjects into the range of success reached with Captain America, because the UniSols are further enhanced with cybernetic technology and still fall short of the mark.

They still prove a heavy threat to two off-duty heroes on their own.

Knight Thrasher arrives to rescue his friends, turning a frantic scramble into a much more effective counter-attack. They find additional minions or associates or something of the unknown mastermind. The "UniSols" go down under the team tactics of Feral and Thrasher, left tied up with notes for NYPD arrest. Firestar takes one of the additional minions, a cat-man whom the UniSols called "Lynx", back to Metropolis with every intention of asking Dr. Gironde if she can keep the new cat as a pet.

Checking his business interests in the shadows of New York City, the Penguin establishes a villainous tradition of capturing heroes and selling them to other villains.

A hypnotic violinist is the chief minion for an "Element Master" who has a quartet of brainwashed minions obeying the violinist's every cue.
