Overview

also called: Goodie Packs, Booster Packs, Item Packs

A small expansion pack previously available exclusively through the NCsoft Store. Each pack was themed and came with various perks, which included costume pieces, powers, badges, and/or emotes.

As of City of Heroes Freedom/Issue 21, these boosters and item packs are generally no longer available unless tied somehow to a box set (e.g. Cyborg/Magic choice with Architect Edition, GvE's goodies, etc). The individual components of these packs have been integrated into the Paragon Market.

-== Future Packs ==
-The future of Super Boosters is unclear. However, according to [[Noble Savage (Developer)|David Nakayama]], the Art Lead for [[Paragon Studios]], they are actively working on pieces for future booster packs. A thread on the [[Official Forums]] was made on [http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=225691 June 13, 2010], requesting Super Booster ideas.
