How It Begins

December 31st, 2014.

Dr. Sinister is at it again! The Concordance of Powered Response isn't entirely clear on what it is he's planning, but it's big and it's based in his island fortress. This is clearly a task for one of the world's mightiest champions!

Unfortunately, they've had to send you instead; the world's mightiest champions have other emergencies to deal with. New Year's Eve is always rough.

Regardless, this looks by-the-book so far. The containment fields have been put in place. Now all you have to do is get over to his island base, infiltrate it, defeat him, and bring him in.
