Villain Accolade Badges
Overview
Accolade Badges are earned for truly diabolical accomplishments and usually grant some form of bonus power or secondary effect, such as unlocking access to costume pieces or special areas of the game. Some of the badges listed here require considerable effort and may require teamwork in order to obtain in a reasonable amount of time. Badges listed on this page are just those that are earnable by "pure" Villains who have not opened up access to Hero zones and contacts.
