Praetoria is, in fact, a "mirror universe", where, unlike on our Earth, the most famous superbeings are twisted and evil, having given in to their darker sides. The Praetorian Archvillains are not as strong as their Paragon City counterparts, but they still prove a challenge to all but the most powerful of heroes.


Several missions assigned by Tina Macintyre and Maria Jenkins take place there, and it is also the locale for the upcoming City of Heroes expansion: Going Rogue. The early press releases for the expansion were the first to refer to it as Praetoria.


The Praetorian archvillains are:


Defeating all of the Praetorian archvillains except Mother Mayhem, Shadow Hunter, and Tyrant earns a hero the Dimensional Warder Badge.
