Fire of Saturn Seen in Rogue Isles


After reappearing in Atlas Park, fighting crime alongside the Atlantean champion, Glubglub, and joining the Scrap Pile, the people of Paragon City seemed ready to accept that Fire of Saturn had put her villainous past behind her.

New footage from Port Oakes and Mercy City, however, calls her sincerity into question. 

While no actual members of the Scrap Pile (apart from Fire of Saturn herself -- see below) were available for comment, Hero Corps representative Dean Helm stated that, "The situation as we understand it is that Fire of Saturn was pursuing a group of Marcone Family thugs that were causing trouble in the Argosy Industrial Area." She was, in fact, seen fighting a huge Marcone captain and his henchmen, but she didn't turn him in to any recognized law enforcement authority. "That neanderthal cracked my helmet and I barely survived the fight," Fire of Saturn told our reporter. "You can't count on the court system to handle people like that. I know they'll treat him right at Fort Cerberus."
Despite confirmation that this and several other "arrests," including a nest of Skulls that she cleaned out, did happen, Fire of Saturn's activities in the Rogue Isles were not all explainable as law enforcement of any kind. For one thing, she is known to have visited Mikey the Ear, an information broker known for his shady contacts. And then there's this:
Fire of Saturn dismissed this clear attack on Paragon City Longbow troops as yellow journalism, saying, "Come on! Those guys were assholes. And they're fine! Just a little chilled. I'm not a murderer. Look, I had to work on Arachnos turf to get the bad guys, and it helps keep things smooth if they see you knocking some Longbow dorks around. It's not all green parks and giant heroic statues out there. You gotta play the game to stay alive."
Asked if using her shield drone to take dance selfies in front of Larry's Tiki Lounge was part of surviving on the mean streets, Fire of Saturn rolled her eyes. "Okay, fine! Yes, I went to Larry's. There's nothing like it in Paragon City. I mean, I love the... you know... goodness or whatever, here, but you have to admit, they really know how to party out in the islands. Larry's just rocks!"

Fire of Saturn once again asserted that she is not a bad guy. "Look, I stop criminals. Period. I was up front about all this with Scrappy and Shocker, and they understood. Shocker even said you vultures had given her friends a hard time once about the same sort of thing."
