When City of Heroes shipped there was a bit of consternation that capes were absent. What would Batman be without a cape? What about Superman? Vision? Spawn? Thor? It’s a shortcoming that is finally addressed in the second free expansion.

Not only do you get the chance to earn a cape – you really have to work for it! – a whack of new stuff has been added, including a new zone, a tweaked interface allowing for more flexibility in searching for allies, closed doors on indoor missions (which can change your attack strategies), and new animations for some moves. At the same time, developer Cryptic Studios arranged for an invasion of extremely tough inter-dimensional aliens! All over Paragon City, random portals opened to spew out the invaders – and continued to spew until the portal was destroyed.
