·Unknown. It's assumed that Dr. Science is still present in Paragon
City and may serve as a contact, perhaps providing Science heroes with information and missions related to the Rikti.
History
When the alien Rikti first appeared in Paragon City and around the world, superheroes,
scientists, and military forces were taken by surprise. As the war with the Rikti raged, a handful of researchers labored
to discover anything they could about the invaders. Dr. Science provided one of the most significant breakthroughs by discovering
a method for tracing energy signatures generated by the Rikti's teleportation portals. "It was clear that the aliens were
continually receiving reinforcements from their home dimension, probably through additional portals that opened up in their
secret underground staging areas. Dr. Science managed to isolate the largest and most active of these portals, which happened
to be located deep beneath Paragon City. This was probably the least accessible location on Earth right now, lying as it did
deep within Rikti territory and surrounded by thousands of the toughest alien troops.
"Dr. Science devised a plan, but it was one that risked a great deal for an
uncertain outcome. He had deduced that the portals required tremendous energy to operate and that the source of this energy
must lie somewhere on the Rikti home world. The portals on this side were merely conduits for the main energy source. From
there, reinforcements were then transmitted through local intra-dimensional portals. If a team of heroes could travel through
the main conduit and destroy the energy source, the Rikti on Earth would be totally cut off from future reinforcements. This
might just be enough to turn the tide of the war."
Eventually, Earth's heroes attempted Dr. Science's daring plan. The Statesman
rallied a group of 1,000 heroes on a direct assault of Rikti forward positions while Hero 1 led a much smaller team into the
heart of the Rikti's empire. Although the death toll was catastrophic, the heroes did manage to destroy the Rikti's power
source and sever the Rikti supply lines. This did not end the threat of the Rikti, but did mark Earth's first major victory,
stopped the invasion, and forced the aliens underground.
One of the few heroes to survive the Rikti invasion, Dr. Science is now committed
to rebuilding Paragon City.
