**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.

** The [[Heart of Darkness Badge|Heart of Darkness]] and [[Heart of Light Badge|Heart of Light Badges]] were once again avalible during this event, but were not awarded simply for logging in as during the [[Valentine's Day Event 2006]]; in this event, they were one of five rewards given to characters who completed DJ Zero's mission to defeat [[Snaptooth]]. Other rewards were the [[Partygoer Badge]], which celebrates Pocket D's anniversary; the toga and sandals avalible during [[Valentine's Day Event 2006|the 2006 event]], and a heart chest pattern for both males and females.

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:

  • 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 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 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 2007 began on February 13th and ran until March 3rd. During this event, characters were given a new contact, Genymede for heroes and Scratch for villains. These two contacts had a story arc each which lasted for two missions, the second of which would need a player from the opposite side. For example, a hero would require the help of a villain to be able to complete Ganymede's second mission.
