Infected

Overview

The Infected are an enemy group which appeared initially in City of Villains, in Mercy Island. But now it seems they are spreading and have already reached Paragon City as well, where they can be seen in neighborhoods such as Atlas Park or Galaxy City.

Lieutenants

Blighted

Blighted have been subsisting on cesspool water for many weeks now, and the changes they have undergone are far greater than skin deep. They no longer desire any nourishment other than that they take from the cesspool. Their old friends and dreams are entirely forgotten as they slip deeper into their irradiated daze.

Good at close range. Fires a cone of buckshot pellets and can knock some foes down.

Relentless but slow.

Devolved

Most people on Mercy agree: the Devolved no longer qualify as human. After months of consuming nothing but cesspool water, they have become tireless, witless, and wickedly strong. It would be fair to call them more zombie than man.
