Another major gang, composed mostly of thugs, the Skulls operate in small groups throughout Paragon City. Incredibly territorial, the Skulls will attack anyone who enters their turf, including heroes and even super-powered villains.

Current HQ: Unknown, but presumably somewhere in King’s Row                 

Turf: Perez Park, King’s Row

Villain Finder

·Unknown at this time.

 

Tactics

·The Skulls appear to use fairly straightforward “thug” maneuvers. They attack in small groups, with melee combatants engaging heroes while Skulls using pistols or other ranged weapons attack from a short distance.

 

Combat Recommendations

·Considered slightly tougher than the Hellions, the Skulls are still relatively easy to defeat. They can be picked off from a distance by heroes with ranged weapons, or systematically defeated one at a time with melee attacks.

History

 

One of Paragon City’s more storied gangs, the Skulls have been plaguing the metropolis for many years. Recently, however, the gang of death-masked miscreants has taken control of the factory district known as King’s Row. The Skulls are so adamant about protecting their new turf, gang members can be found “attacking Vahzilok Cadavers whenever they see them.” Of course, heroes who enter the area are also subject to violent assaults. If the gang is not stopped, it could very well turn King’s Row into a major criminal empire.

 

Paragon City’s street gangs are locked in constant struggle with one another and the Skulls gang plays a major role in these ongoing turf wars. Members of the Skulls and the Hellions can often be found battling one another in Perez Park, which borders each gang’s home turf. “Both of these gangs are connected to more powerful organizations, but no one has been able to conclusively determine their benefactors.”

Virtually every gang in Paragon City seems to have some sort of mysterious benefactor. The entity or group pulling the strings of the Skulls has not be identified at this point, but it is likely a more powerful supervillain or villain group.
