Babbage
Overview
Babbage is a Giant Monster for the Clockwork.
Babbage can be found in the northern area of Boomtown and appears in Skyway City during Synapse's Task Force.
According to the City of Heroes Giant Monster Guide, Babbage appears in Boomtown every 4 to 6 hours. This guide was written before Issue 8, which expressly increased the spawn rate. The current rate is unknown, but is definitely greater than the listed rate.
