Initial Contact
Kings Row is in some serious hurt, Character. Ever since Galaxy City got smushed the refugees have been flocking to Kings Row, hoping that they can return home soon. Unfortunately, a lot of them are out on the street with nowhere to go, and that's made them easy pickings for gangs like The Skulls.
I've been keeping tabs on the Skulls for some time with my news site Raw from the Row, and I'm telling you, it looks like we are about to have an epidemic of Superadine addicts if the PPD or someone can't crack down on them. The people of Kings Row need your help.
Greeting

I can't believe I helped you bust a Superadine drug shipment and put one of the Lords of Death behind bars. Actually, now that I think about it... maybe I should be a bit discreet in how much of a hand I had in all of that, just in case any of the Skulls read my blog.
I don't have any other news stories to follow up on. But I'm sure there are other people in the city that could use your help.

Your name and picture in the paper
You saved this newspaper article written by Shauna Stockwell about the amazing work you did in cracking down on the Skulls, arresting Chernobog Petrovic, and breaking...
The Superadine Ring
It all started when you met Shauna Stockwell. She was doing investigative reporting about the recent rise in Superadine drug use in Kings Row for her blog Raw from the Row. She directed you to a doctor at Crowne Memorial hospital by the name of Genevieve Sanders who informed you that the Skulls were operating a secret Superadine Den in Kings Row. You hit the streets and learned the location of the den and the name of the man who ran it; Toothbreaker Jones. After busting up the den and arresting Jones, you learned that his den was just one of many others. In addition, Jones had been talking to someone about a shipment coming in. Kings Row's Superadine troubles seemed to only be beginning.
Shauna thought that the shipment sounded familiar and wanted to talk to one of her sources in private, in the meantime you went to work with Genevieve in tracking down another drug den location from the patients recovering at Crowne Memorial. When you arrived at the den down in Industrial Avenue, however, it was empty. The whole place turned out to be an ambush. Somehow the Skulls knew you were coming and tried to take you out but they were no match for you. You questioned Genevieve about how the Skulls knew you were coming and she suspected that someone at the hospital was working for the Skulls. She resolved to be more careful who she talked to about what in order to keep other heroes safe from Skulls ambushes.
Shauna had some bad news about her source, Emily Rodriguez. She'd gone missing. Emily's family believed the Skulls kidnapped her, and Shauna seemed convinced that was the case. She sent you to talk to a beat cop in The Gish by the name of Vic Johansson for help in locating Emily before the Skulls did something drastic. Vic agreed to help you patrol for a Skulls indoctrination ceremony that he believed Emily would likely be taken to. Together you discovered the ceremony in the abandoned Kings Garment Works. Vic called for backup while you went in to save Emily before it was too late for her. You arrived just in time to stop the Skulls' leader, Misery, from beginning the mass sacrifice for the ritual. In addition to rescuing Emily Rodriguez you also rescued a freelance photographer by the name of Juan Jimenez and over a dozen construction employees from Anderson Construction. Together they testified that you had just missed one of the Lords of Death, a leader of the Skulls by the name of Chernobog, and that the shipment had arrived in Kings Row.
Together, you and Shauna pieced together the puzzle. The Anderson Construction employees weren't just random victims, the Skulls had kidnapped them purposefully. You resolved to investigate Anderson Construction on the hunch that the shipment must be going down there. Your hunch proved correct.
You arrived as Chernobog and the Skulls were moving the shipment of Superadine drums. Chernobog proved strong, but you were stronger. At his defeat the rest of the Skulls ran, leaving the Superadine behind to be confiscated as evidence in Chernobog's impending court date.
Toothbreaker Jones' Jar of Broken Teeth
This empty mayonnaise jar is filled with the broken trophies that earned Toothbreaker Jones his cheerful monicker. You retrieved it from a desk drawer in Jones' Superadine Hideout during...
The Superadine Ring.
The Jar souvenir is only awarded if the player investigates the desk in the first mission, which is not a required objective.
Part One: Product Placement
Briefing
Superadine has been on the streets of Kings Row for years now, Character. But, with all the refugees flooding into Kings Row after the destruction of Galaxy City, The Skulls have really started to push their product. The number of Superadine related crimes is escalating, and the PPD don't seem to have enough manpower to put a stop to it. Only so much good can be done by writing about this. It is time someone took action.
Will you help me shine the light on the Skulls' activities here in Kings Row? Maybe together we can put a stop to all of this.
- I'll help you put a stop to The Skulls
Great! This city is sick, Character, and as with any illness, I turn to my good friend Genevieve Sanders over at Crowne Memorial Hospital for a diagnosis of the cause.
Genevieve has indicated that the hospital's detox wards are reaching maximum occupancy. Superadine addicts are being brought in off the streets in droves, and from what said, they're suffering some pretty extreme states of withdraw. She said that if I could find a hero to help, then she would have some information for them to act on.
I guess that means you're our hero.
Talk to Genevieve Sanders
Unnecessary Solicitation
Genevieve said she has some information about The Skulls and their pushing of Superadine on the people of Kings Row. You can find her at Crowne Memorial Hospital.
Mission Objective(s)
- Talk to Genevieve Sanders
Character, Shauna called to let me know you were on your way. Thanks for agreeing to help out.
More Superadine addicts are showing up to the hospital every day and they're in bad shape. From what I've gathered the Skulls are forcibly addicting people to the drug.
Character, a lot of these people lost everything in Galaxy City. They've turned to theft and less savory acts in order to pay for thier next fix. Eventually they either end up arrested, here... or in the morgue.
Sorry, I just... it's so frustrating... you came here for information in order to solve this problem, not to listen to me go on about it... According to some of my recovering patients, the Skulls have a drug den in Industrial Avenue. People go there to buy their Superadine. If you can hit the Skulls on the streets hard enough, they just might spill the beans on who's running the show, and where in the Gish that drug den is located.
According to Genevieve Sanders, a lot of the addicts coming into Crowne Memorial and other hospitals around town were forcibly injected with Superadine by The Skulls in order to get them hooked. Once hooked, the victims would do almost anything to keep getting Superadine, including selling off cherished possessions, taking out loans or second mortgages, and even turning to crime. Meanwhile, the Skulls are raking in the profits as Kings Row slowly and steadily rides the high into self destruction. Most of the addicts got their Superadine from a local Superadine den, but locating it is going to be tough. Best to hit the streets and ask the Skulls. Hard.
Question Skulls in The Gish
Unnecessary Solicitation
The Skulls are expanding their influence all over Kings Row. Nobody else can really challenge their expansion, so they think they own the place. They're a lot of talk there, but don't let that fool you, there are also a lot of them.
Mission Objective(s)
- Question Skulls in Kings Row
- Defeat 10 Skulls
The name Toothbreaker Jones keeps popping up, and these Skulls were nice enough to tell you where to find him. Time to pay him a visit.
Your inquiries on the street yielded one name; Toothbreaker Jones. Word is, of the bunch of bad apples that make up the Skulls, he's the most rotten. He's got a Superadine den here in The Gish. Maybe it's time you paid him a visit.
Pay Toothbreaker Jones a visit
Unnecessary Solicitation
Toothbreaker Jones? I've heard of that guy. He is bad news. Character, be careful. If Jones is cornered in that Superadine Den, there is no telling what he might be capable of.
Mission Objective(s)
Take down Toothbreaker Jones' operation
- Pay Toothbreaker Jones a visit
- Arrest Toothbreaker Jones
You shut down Toothbreaker Jones' drug den and put him behind bars.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Toothbreaker Jones (Skulls Bone Daddy)
Ambush! After defeating the first group of Skulls, three waves of Skulls will ambush.
Hey, pipe down over there or we'll give you lead instead of 'dyne!
- Jones tells you about the Skulls and the Superadine drug dens in Kings Row.
Jones laughs at you between gasps for breath. Eventually his taunting gets the best of him, and he tips the Skulls' hand a little too much. Turns out his Superadine den isn't the only one in Kings Row. In addition, more are about to spring up with a new Superadine shipment that's supposed to be coming into town real soon. You press him, but Jones just doesn't know any more than that.
- In one of the drawers in this desk you found a cleaned out mayonnaise jar filled with broken human teeth. Looks like you've found Toothbreaker Jones' trophy collection.
This empty mayonnaise jar is filled with the broken trophies that earned Toothbreaker Jones his cheerful monicker.
Debriefing
Wow, that's going to make an amazing story. Character takes down Superadine den and busts the leader, saves innocents from the Skulls.
Unfortunately Jones is just one of several pushers in the area. Taking him down put a dent in the Skulls' profit margin, but I have a feeling that now that you've pushed the Skulls, they're going to shove back. Watch yourself out there, they'll be gunning for you.
Part Two: Push Comes To Shove
Briefing
You mentioned that Jones was talking to someone on the phone about a shipment? I've heard about The Skulls expecting a big shipment from one of my sources. I'm going to talk to her and see if I can get some more details. In the meantime, Genevieve called, she says she has some information about where some more Superadine dens could be located.
- Talk to your source, I'll handle the Skulls
The Skulls are cold blooded killers, Character. Remember that when you are dealing with them. They are more than just nihilists, they actually believe that they can conquer death by becoming one with it.
Talk to Genevieve
Unnecessary Solicitation
Genevieve has been helping rehabilitate Superadine users. According to her, she just got some information on where another of The Skulls' drug dens is located.
Mission Objective(s)
- Talk to Genevieve
Ambush! A short time after accepting the mission, a group of Skulls will ambush.
Hey, there's the cape who took down Jones, get 'em!
My patients have been coming in from all over Kings Row and their stories of where they got their Superadine is almost never the same. The police are certain that the Skulls are just moving their dealer around, but I think it's a combination of that and a number of different pushers setting up shop. One of my patients was at one of these drug dens today down in Industrial Avenue. He gave me the address.
Genevieve hands you a slip of paper with the address written down.
I already informed the PPD, but I doubt they'll check it out anytime soon and I'm afraid that the Skulls will have packed up and left by then.
Character, if we don't start shutting these places down quickly then there will be more people addicted to Superadine than the hospital can handle. The evening news will have a field day if they see addicts lined up on the sidewalk outside.
This note details the address, or at least, the cross streets, in Industrial Avenue where one of Genevieve's patients said the Superadine den they went to was located. According to Genevieve, time is of the essence. The Skulls seem to be moving locations around in order to throw off cops and other heroes looking to bust their operations.
Shut Down the Superadine Den
Unnecessary Solicitation
Genevieve is right. If we can't shut down these drug dens then Kings Row is going to be overrun with Superadine addicts.
Mission Objective(s)
The place is pretty quiet. Maybe the Skulls have already abandoned the place. They may have left clues.
- Shut Down the Superadine Den
- Arrest all the Skulls
- Look for clues as to where the Skulls went
- Defeat the Skulls ambushes!
- Defeat Mandible and Maxilla
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Mandible (Skulls Bone Daddy)
- Maxilla (Skulls Bone Daddy)
Entering the mission, the map will be empty with the "Arrest all the Skulls" objective. Investigating a cardboard box glowie will reveal the following:
- The bottom of this empty box is wet and has the telltale stink of Superadine. Perhaps it was used to store and move Superadine ampules and one of them broke.
The objective will change to "Look for clues as to where the Skulls went to" and a whiteboard can be investigated for the following:
- The whiteboard appears to be partially erased, but the title remains; 'Dyne Sales'. It appears to have accidentally been written in with permanent marker. The Skulls were recording their sales here, but those figures are all gone now.
In the last room of the map, a portable lab can be investigated for the following:
- You find a note that reads: 'This is where you die'
- It's a trap!
The objective will change to "Defeat the Skulls ambushes!" and the map will populate with Skulls.
Ambush! After investigating the portable lab glowie, three waves of Skulls will ambush.
Mission Objective(s)
- Shut Down the Superadine Den
- Defeat Mandible and Maxilla
The Skulls knew you were coming. Did Genevieve betray you, or is someone else at the hospital working for the Skulls?
If there are any Skulls left on the map, they will run for the entrance and leave. They can be attacked and will not fight back during their escape.
Talk to Genevieve
Unnecessary Solicitation
I can't believe Genevieve would have set you up, but still, you'd better find out how the Skulls knew you were coming. Genevieve might be able to shed some light on that.
Mission Objective(s)
- Talk to Genevieve
Character, what happened?
The Skulls knew you were coming? But... how?
Oh no... You don't think that I... no, someone at the hospital must be feeding the Skulls information... but... why would anyone here want to help them?
I'll be a lot more careful with who I tell what to about the cops and local heroes.
After the Skulls ambushed you and you confronted Genevieve Sanders with it, she was shocked. She'd mentioned your involvement to a few other co-workers and concluded that word must have spread to someone on the hospital staff that is on the Skulls' payroll. She resolved to be more cautious with who she talks to about information she gives the police and local heroes so nobody falls into a Skulls ambush again.
Debriefing
Character! I really need your help. My source has gone missing!
Part Three: Marked For Death
Briefing
Her name is Emily Rodriguez. According to her relatives, she didn't show up to work today.
I talked to Emily's cousin and he said that he's certain the Skulls kidnapped her. Says the cops won't do anything about a missing person's case for 24-hours unless there is evidence of wrong doing, and they just don't have any evidence.
I told him that you could help.
- Where do we start looking?
There's a beat cop who works the Gish by the name of Vic Johansson. He knows the Gish like the back of his hand. Tell him I sent you and he'll drop everything to help you find Emily.
The Skulls are ruthless killers, I... I don't know how long Emily has...
Talk to Vic Johansson
Unnecessary Solicitation
Vic's a good guy, Character, you can trust him to do the right thing.
Mission Objective(s)
- Talk to Vic Johansson
Ambush! A short time after accepting the mission, a group of Skulls will ambush.
Hey, there's the cape who took down Jones, get 'em!
Hey, not too close, ok? You hero types are all good in my book, but I don't need another reason for these Skulls gang bangers to be eyeing me for some sort of initiation kill or badge of honor. I got a wife and kids...
- Stockwell told me you were one of the good cops, was she wrong?
Shauna sent you?
She's like a little sister to me...
Alright, yeah, I'm your man. What's the situation?
- (Fill Vic in on the situation)
Hmmm, that's bad, but I think I know what The Skulls are planning, Character.
Word from the street is that the Skulls have got some sort of indoctrination ceremony that's going down tonight. But we've got neither the clues nor the manpower necessary to go hunting for it.
Vic puts a hand to his badge and traces the star. He looks down, apparently unaware that he was doing it and looks up at you, his eyes steeled.
Emily can't wait for us to get better information. My shift is about over. We'll hit the streets and find her together.
- Thanks, Johansson. Let's get moving. (Enter Mission)
According to Vic Johansson, the Skulls are looking to perform one of their Black Wakes sometime this evening. He suspects that Emily Rodriguez is being taken there as a sacrifice by the Skulls.
If Vic is right, Emily won't have much longer to live after midnight when the Skulls perform their grisly ceremony, murder her, and then have their new recruits get buried in a shallow grave with her body until morning. If that happens, the next person to see Emily's face will be seeing it worn by a Skull grave digger.
Find Emily Rodriguez
- Chernobog: Misery. Finish things here without me.
- Chernobog: The shipment arrived early, I must go.
- Misery: Yes, Chernobog... but...
- Chernobog: What is matter?
- Misery: As a Lord of Death you alone can choose the first death to begin tonight's ceremony.
- Chernobog: Kill the girl first. Show new recruits what happens if they talk to wrong people.
- Misery: My pleasure...
Mission Objective(s)
- Find the Skulls' Ceremony
- Save Emily Rodriguez
- Stop the Skulls' Ceremony!
You rescued Emily Rodriguez, Juan Jimenez, and a number of Anderson Construction employees from the Skulls.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Misery (Skulls Death Doll)
- Emily Rodriguez (Non-Escort Hostage)
- Juan Jimenez (Non-Escort Hostage)
- Anderson Construction Employee x13 (Non-Escort Hostages)
If there are any Skulls left on the map, they will run for the entrance and leave. They can be attacked and will not fight back during their escape.
Debriefing
Oh, thank the stars that Emily is alive and well. I heard Juan Jimenez got himself mixed up in this as well. I guess in hindsight that's a good thing. It turns out he got a picture of the Skulls' leader and pocketed his memory card before they trashed his camera.
Juan sent me a copy of the picture and trust me, this is big news...
Finale: Death by the Truckload
Briefing
That guy that Juan snapped a photo of is one of the Lords of Death. Dude goes by the name of Chernobog. I looked his name up online and apparently it's the name of some slavic god of darkness, or something. Real cheery dude.
Anyway, according to Emily and Juan, Chernobog left right before you arrived because the shipment we've been hearing about came in early.
Character... Emily told me that the shipment is a truckload of Superadine! If it gets onto the streets, Kings Row will be flooded with the stuff!
If only we knew where the shipment was being delivered to, we could put a stop to this... Damn, you were this close to stopping that shipment and taking out one of their leaders.
- Ten to one says that Anderson Construction is hosting the delivery
Anderson Construction? But why would they...?
Shauna's eyes light up as she connects the dots.
That's why all those workers were rounded up by the Skulls to be killed in their ceremony! They all worked at the Anderson Construction warehouse here in Kings Row. With them going missing, that warehouse would be empty during the delivery!
Character! You're brilliant! We've got to hurry and bust that delivery before it's too late. If that Superadine hits the streets there will be no way to stop it.
You may want to bring some help. If Chernobog is really there, the place will be crawling with Skulls.
Before the Skulls caught him in the Kings Garment Works, Juan Jimenez managed to snap this photo of the Skulls' leader. According to Shauna Stockwell, the guy goes by the name Chernobog and he's one of the Skulls' Lords of Death. A little research suggests that Chernobog is an ancient Slavic deity who was some sort of god of darkness. Obviously this guy thinks quite highly of himself.
According to Shauna Stockwell, the Lords of Death are two brothers knows as The Petrovic Brothers. They formed the Skulls years ago and have been steadily growing the gang ever since. According to some police reports and scattered hero testimonies, former (or reformed) Skulls members claim that the Petrovics have mastered some strange dark magic and use it to empower their most faithful followers. Indeed, there is evidence from the most powerful Skulls members brought in by Paragon City's heroes that suggest that they can control powerful negative energy, but how the Petrovics learned of this ritual, or their level of mastery over it, remains a mystery. One thing is clear, while the Skulls claim to no longer fear death, they do fear the Lords of Death.
Unnecessary Solicitation
The Skulls are unloading that Superadine as we speak, you need to get over to Anderson Construction now before it is too late!
Mission Objective(s)
In order to avoid suspicion, the Skulls didn't leave a perimeter guard. Lucky for you.
- Investigate Anderson Construction
- Stop the Superadine Shipment
You stopped the Superadine shipment and arrested Chernobog Petrovic one of the Skulls' founders!
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Chernobog (Skulls Elite Boss)
- Chernobog: Keep moving those containers, we haven't got all night!
- Chernobog: ...
- Chernobog: ... Character...
- Chernobog: My brother... He tells me not to hunt you ...
- Chernobog: He says killing you would be bad for business... That it isn't right time...
- Chernobog: Maybe that's true, maybe...
- Chernobog: Unfortunately for you...
- Chernobog: I never had good mind for business.
If there are any Skulls left on the map, they will run for the entrance and leave. Unlike previous missions, these will fight back if aggroed.
Debriefing
I... I can't believe it. You did it! You stopped the Superadine shipment and arrested one of the Lords of Death!
Character, I... I don't know how I or anyone in Kings Row could ever thank you. I mean... The Skulls are going to be looking for some payback. I don't know if I could ever live knowing that I was being hunted... but I guess that's what makes you a hero, huh?
Hey, I got an e-mail from a guy who claims to be Eagle Eye of The Regulators - The Super Group who cracked down on drugs throughout the 1980's. Anyway, he said he wanted to meet you so I told him I'd put you two in contact with each other, if you are interested.
