Xarah (Energy/Energy Blaster), Xindy (Spines/Regen scrapper) and Xophia (Grav/Kin controller) have been in stasis, but those pods have been glowing a funny shade of purple lately. Who knows how much time in a stasis pod 7-foot tall, blue-skinned, 85-pound alien women can endure without so much as a healthy glass of wootgratz juice?
Granny? (Warshade), Red Granny (Fire/Fire tank) and Green Granny (Empathy/Energy Defender) have mostly been drinking way too much single-malt scotch and bitching about how the powers-that-be don't know nothin' and screwed it all up. They're surly, but I'm not entirely sure I disagree. They seem to be hunched over more each day, and I'm afraid one of them might end up permanently face-planted. Hopefully old age won't catch up to them before it's too late.
The spice girls ("Cardamalm", "Nutmegan", "Coriandra", Kin/various controllers) have taken respectable day jobs, ditched the masks and the tights and gone with middle-age pant suits. Accounting is every bit as challenging as kinetics, and pays much better. Who knows if they'll even return? Controllers always had it rough in Paragon City, especially venturing out with no group support onto the Triumph server. No respect, I tells ya.
Sofa Kingdom (Inv/SS tank) just don't care. If he can get back to smashing bad guys he'd maybe smile more, but collecting garbage around suburban Phoenix ain't too bad a gig. At $17/hr he can do double shifts and not even break a sweat, then spend all night hanging out with the grannies, swigging cheap beer, smiling and nodding every so often (so they don't get pissed off at him). He still chants his moniker, under his breath, in fond remembrance of the adoring townsfolk who gazed at their watches, jogged by and waved, scratched their temples and shook their heads into their newspaper headlines as they strode past him in the streets chanting his name "so fuh king dum, so fuh king dum..."
