A '''special event''' is a period of time during which the game(s) are altered.  To date, there have been several special events.  They are:
#REDIRECT [[:Category:Special Events]]
 
* The [[Rularuu Invasion Event 2004]]
 
* The [[Halloween Event 2004|Halloween 2004 Special Event]], which took place during the weekend of Halloween in 2004.  During this event, heroes could earn six special badges: [[Buster Badge]], [[Dead Head Badge]], [[Hallow Spirit Badge]], [[Hunter Badge]], [[Malleus Badge]], and [[Shifter Badge]].
 
* The [[Winter Event 2004|Winter Wonderland 2005 Event]], which took place in January 2005.  During this event, heroes could earn two special badges: [[Frozen Fury Badge]] and [[Cold Warrior Badge]].  Also, there was a special inspiration type available during this time, [[Present]]s.
 
*The [[Winter Event 2005]], which took place in December 2005 and early January 2006.  There were three stages to this event.
**On December 8, 2005, where heroes would receive the [[Longbow Reservist Badge]] and villains would receive the [[Jet-Setter Badge]] by logging in.  Both heroes and villains received a temporary power, the [[Holiday Rocket Pack]]. 
**On December 15th, Agents appeared at helicopters in Paragon City and Operatives appeared in the Rogue Isles offering missions for characters which rewarded badges.  Heroes were to go recover stolen presents and upon completion, they would receive the [[Holiday Spirit]] accolade.  Villains on the other hand would go steal presents and receive the [[Scrooge]] accolade. 
**Then on December 19th, mysterious [[Present|presents]] appeared all over the Rogue Isles and Paragon City with two possible outcomes.  If you were "Naughty", the [[Winter Horde]] would appear.  If you were nice, you would receive a [[Inspirations#Special Inspirations|Present Inspiration]].  The appearance of the Winter Horde allowed characters to receive the [[Cold Warrior Badge]].  Also, if you opened 200 presents, you would receive the [[Toy Collector Badge]].
 
*The [[Valentine's Day Event 2006]] started on February 8th.  It marked the first time that Heroes and Villains could work together.  Heroes received the [[Heart of Light Badge]] and villains received the [[Heart of Darkness Badge]] for logging in during the event.  Characters could earn the [[Beautiful Badge]] (for females) or the [[Handsome Badge]] (for males).  After unlocking [[DJ Zero]] as a contact, characters could earn the [[Toothbreaker Badge]] for defeating [[Snaptooth]] five times.
 
* The [[Winter Event 2006]] began on December 14th and took place in two phases: the first began on December 14th, the second phase on December 18th; they both ended on January 2nd. During this event heroes and villains could once again team up to battle a common threat. Logging in between December 14th and January 2nd earned both heroes and villains the [[Cold Front Badge]].
**[[Pocket D]] was extended especially for this event, adding a Ski Chalet and snow covered slopes to an outdoor section of the [[Shadow Shard]]. This was also where heroes and villains could both earn the [[Trucker Badge]], an [[Exploration Badge]] on top of the floating truck positioned in the air near the main [[Pocket D]] building.
**Starting on December 14th, characters could earn the [[Joyful Badge]], [[Miraculous Badge]], [[Frosty Badge]] and [[Crystallized Badge]] by completing a mission given to them by [[Father Time]] in [[Pocket D]]. These badges would give a number of awards, including [[Temporary Powers]] and costume items; specifically Santa Gloves and Boots. Additionally, characters could once again earn the [[Toothbreaker Badge]] for defeating [[Snaptooth]] five times in the mission given by [[Father Time]]. As [[Tuatha de Dannan]] and [[Red Caps]] both appeared on this mission map, it was also an oppertunity for villains to earn the [[Cap Buster Badge]] and the [[Bane of Dannan Badge]]. The [[Winter Horde]] were also present as enemies on this mission, giving both heroes and villains another chance to earn the [[Cold Warrior Badge]].
**Phase 2 was highly similar to the [[Winter Event 2005]], but with added rewards recieved from opening the mysterious [[Present|presents]] from the previous year. When in teams of five members or over, one was able to spawn the [[Winter Lord]] by opening [[Present|presents]], making the [[Frozen Fury Badge]] avalible for the first time since the [[Winter Event 2004|Winter Wonderland 2005 Event]]. This was also another oppertunity to earn the [[Toy Collector Badge]], given to a character for opening 200 [[Present|presents]].
