What's your Origin?
Have you ever wished you could proudly wield your origin as a banner in front of your fiercest adversaries or even amongst fellow heroes or villains? Your origin contributes to making you a unique citizen in Paragon City, the Rogue Isles, or Praetoria. You've trained hard to follow the natural arts? You've worked tirelessly on your invocations and spells? Painful scientific experimentations have made you a powerful creature to reckon with? Technological advances have bestowed you with the ability to transcend your limits? Or maybe you are the product of a freak accident?

When it becomes available through the NCsoft Store on November 3rd, 2010, the City of Heroes Origins Pack will provide your characters with new customization options based on the five character Origins: Magic, Mutant, Natural, Science, and Technology.
