Heru and the Legion of Sin confront Superpatriot and Meta Justice


Not one to waste any time, Heru of the Legion of Sin, began the hunt for un-registered super humans by going after an old national hero, Superpatriot and the rest of Meta Justice. It's no secret that the two teams have some very bad blood between them. So far from what we can tell from the reports gathered, the MFC Cape Killers were called to Star Labs after reports came in that Superpatriot launched a bus over the Star labs building screaming at the top of his lungs "for Burns."

Metahuman Hate Crime?


Numerous media outlets are reporting about an attack that may be charged as a hate crime against metahumans. The question is, are metahumans now considered a social class?

According to reports, the hero Black Azure was attacked and badly beaten by a group of unidentified supervillains who then witnesses claim repeated "We don't like your kind! You're trash!" Does this qualify as the first case of a Metahuman Hate Crime? Stay Tuned.

Superpatriot Storms the DP Blog Offices!


It was a normal day like any other day here at the DP Blog. Writers were busy punching their keyboards trying to edit and proofread their stories for submission, field reporters running in and out of my office giving me the latest reports.  With the hectic day turning into a hectic night, I decided to go to the roof and get some fresh air and go over some notes in private.  Just as I was half way through my notes, a gust of wind almost blew the papers from my hand.  After collecting my papers off the ground, including myself, I looked up to see a strongly built figure, almost like a statue, standing on the ledge abvoe me. It was Superpatriot! As I stood there slack jawed, the Red, White, and Blue Crusader jumped down and pushed my glasses back on my nose and said, "I think you have some questions for me. I'm ready to answer them."

Is the VRA really working? The first VRA press conference with MFC director, Lex Luthor


The Vigilante Registration Act went into law a little over 2 and a half weeks ago. The presence of MFC Enforcers and Cape Killer Units has been substantial around the country. You would think that this increase in man power patrolling the streets would curb crime. You may be wrong. We have a few stats while early, may still be an indication as to what is really being done.

False Hope, Black Lanterns, Versatile Gaming showdown with the Assassins' League and The Coalition



Last night at around 8:15pm, a large group of villains attempted to steal several containers containing PETNwell known explosive that is one of the most powerful high explosives known, with a relative effectiveness factor of 1.66, and favorite of terroists, that was scheduled to be shipped from Ace Chemicals last night. Two guards and 3 engineers were killed during the theft.

A Meeting with Death Drive


Our star reporter, Kristen, was able to land another interview with the normally media shy league, the Coalition. Since becoming one of the many targets on the MFC's most wanted lists, the league has been a little more public with their thoughts, especially those concering the Vigilante Registration Act. Kristen had the chance to sit down with Death Drive, one of the leagues more eloquently spoken members, and discuss some matters he felt were important.

Where are the Vanguardians?


Has the popular superhero team disbanded? Has something more devious taken place? They haven't been seen for months and with current day issues like the ongoing Elemental Killer Investigation, The passage of the VRA Bill, and the Federal Building Explosion many people in the public are starting to wonder why.

Davey Jones escapes from Arkham Asylum


 The crazed serial killer Davey Jones, who's 3-month killing spree had Gotham residents afraid to leave their homes over 10 years ago, has escaped from the high security wing in Arkham. Sources tell us that minutes before his escape, security cameras on his wing were disabled and when authorities went to do a headcount they discovered no trace of the notorious slasher.

The GCPD was unavailable for comment at this time but has scheduled a noon press conference regarding the escape.

After announcing that his own league of super-heroes, the Meta Militia,would become an international task force, the Flameman revealed that he has officially joined The Coalition. High above the streets of Gotham, our top reporter, Kristen, stood ready for the anti-VRA heroe to arrive. She alone managed to land an exclusive interview with Ember of Fury on this decision and what that means to the VRA.

GCPD and MPD challenges VRA



In another strange turn of events, the Gotham City Police Dept and Metropolis Police Dept have followed suit with the rest of their respective states as the only regions in the country to not only repute the Vigilante Registration Act, but also take the federal government to the Supreme Court over it.

Superman comments on VRA


In a recent Time Magazine article, The Man of Steel tentatively lent his support to the controversial legislation that is taking hold. "Whatever people may feel individually, it's important to support the spirit of the law and nothing else. The law is intended to protect citizens and no one can argue that." Superman hinted at not being completely comfortable with MFC Leadership but stressed that he and the JLA would support the VRA 100%.

Where is Lunar Ray?


The popular PeaceKeeper and golden age superhero  hasn't been seen or heard from lately and some are beginning to worry. Sources tell us that he has missed several fundraising events and public appearances and no one is sure what to make of it. Inquiries to PKer Public Relations has been an exercise in futility as no calls have been returned as of late.

A hero since WWII, Lunar Ray made his name helping defend freedom on the side of The Allies against the forces of The Axis, over 50 years ago.

The 31st Cabalist and Lex, Side By Side?



"Neither do I belong on this world or do I understand why so many people delight in individual freedom." 31st Cabalist told our officials. The alien librarian, who is also an honorary member of the Peacekeepers, has decided to join the offices of the VRA.

Peacekeepers and the VRA. Where Do They Stand?



Recently, we managed to get some on-phone and in-person thoughts on the newly legalized VRA from some of the premier members of the Peacekeepers. It would seem as though right now, the PKers' are unanimous in their thoughts about the new law.

New Dynamic Duo?



Recent information has been brought to us concerning an incident that occurred several weeks ago, but answers some questions concerning the masked vigilante, and co-leader of Meta Justice, Superpatriot.  In our profile story, we mentioned that Superpatriot had been seen investigating the several Brainiac ships hovering over parts of Metropolis and Gotham.  There was much speculation on the reasoning behind this intense scrutiny of the ships that ranged from a possible attack on one of them by Meta Justice or simply a probing of defenses.  We now have an answer.

Who's next on the MFC's crackdown lists?


On the heels of Black Falcon's latest skirmish with VRA enforcers at around 1:37am, the streets of Metropolis erupted in another battle at 2:15am as MFC units made a vain attempt to bring in two more VRA violators. Coalition members Deacon and Phipher, who or more commonly seen in Gotham, were around town for reasons unknown when the MFC strike force came down on them with everything that they had. The two outlaws battled with the strike team for almost an hour before making a hasty retreat.

The Peacekeepers in Disarray?


I'm sure many of you are wondering, The Peacekeepers, where are they? You usually see them everywhere from T.V. to newspapers but as of recent, they have been unusually quite, save for their interview during the clean up of the Federal Building Attack.

Nightmarish midnight battle over Metropolis. Missiles strike sleeping city. Black Falcon Again? Extensive Damage at Lex Corp Tower.


Shortly after midnight witnesses report a winged woman pursued by two Apache helicopters with full military armament. The copters were joined by 40-50 black MFC Aerial Power Armor Units. The pursuit was low level and the winged woman was clearly using the city’s buildings as cover. The Apache’s fired missiles at close range striking a number of buildings including the Wesley Memorial, the Baxter building, and the Peacekeepers Headquarters Gift shop was completely wiped out in a direct hit. Police say it was a miracle no one was hurt. The winged woman, believed to be Black Falcon then flew between the copters.

One of our inside reporters was able to establish a brief communication before the meeting was adjourned. No definite decisions made but could the VRA be gaining the trust of otherworld visitors? Our reporter also noted one of the Peacekeepers' Honor Guard members was at this conference. 31st Cabalist was participating in the discussion, whether that be an activist against or for the VRA...only time can tell.

Lex Luthor to be announced as the head of MFC?


On the eve after Black Falcon's attack on MFC enforcers,  President Suarez is rumored to be announcing Lex Luthor as the Organizational and Logistics Chief of the Meta-human Federal Council (MFC). A lot of people question why the President would appoint someone with such a well-known background for hating anything that's not "natural." President Suarez denounced the rumors and said that all of this is hearsay and that no decisions have been made as far as announcing administrative positions in the new branch of government. He also added in his usual demeanor, "Hell! I haven't even signed the dang bill into law yet! Ha, haa! I'll be announcing my final decision tomorrow with an afternoon press conference." The President declined any further comment. We'll release more info as the situation develops.

Signs are showing that the bill will go into law.

Even though President Suarez hasn't given any official word on whether or not he'll be signing the VRA legislation, we have it on good authority that anti-vigilante teams are being set up in order to enforce the new law.

Which side of will you choose?


Unless you've been living under a rock lately then you should know what has been going on all week. The House of Representatives made it happen. The passing of the VRA is only a matter of time. For those of you who don't, I'm assistant editor-in-chief James Gadney and I for one am totally for the VRA.

Celebrations erupt after VRA finally passes Senate

In what has to be one of the biggest swerves in U.S. history, all members of the U.S. Congress unanimously passed the Vigilante Registration Act (the bill's name has actually changed during the House discussion. It was first called the Super Human Registration Act but it was amended to encompass all individuals, meta or not, who would take the law into their own hand) and now the bill makes its way up to the Senate. Senator John Boehner (R) was too emotional to speak with us but promised an interview at a later date.

One witness went on record and stated, "Mr. Sa-Aset tried his best to protect the patrons from the falling debris and sheer irresponsible actions taken by, Meta Justice, Dream team, Straw Hats, Team Supreme And Divine Knights.
