Paragon Studios has updated the "Going Rogue" website for City of Heroes with new information about Marcus Cole, a.k.a. Emperor Cole/Tyrant. The new lore explains how Marcus ascended from living on the streets and having nothing to a being of ultimate power with the discovery of the Well of Furies.
In the aftermath of the Great War, Cole discovered a source of power that would change him and the world forever: the Well of Furies. Infused with the power of the gods, Cole was the first of many super-powered individuals seen in the world. War itself changed with the ascendance of the super-powered, and supers become the new heroes of war. Supers fought on both sides of every conflict. With his strength and invulnerability, Cole was unstoppable for a time.
