DCUO offers a dramatic online setting where players can enter the DC Universe and battle alongside or against their favorite DC Comics heroes and villains including such icons as Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and The Joker, as well as many other fan favorites such as Green Lantern, The Flash, Catwoman and Martian Manhunter. The action and drama will play out in such well-known locations as Gotham City and Metropolis among others.
Award-winning writer Marv Wolfman has joined the creative team at WildStorm Productions that is working with SOE to bring the DC Universe to life on the PS3 and the PC.
Supporting the game’s distinctive, dynamic look is a physics-based combat system that makes traditional role-based massively multiplayer online games a thing of the past. With DCUO, players will have virtual powers that feel truly epic in scope from the get-go. Fly around, grab a bus, and toss it at your foes. Shoot energy blasts from your power ring as you dash with incredible speed along the side of a skyscraper. Or turn rivals into ice cubes and then lob them from atop the Daily Planet building.
Some witches have uncommon beauty that belies their more beastly nature.....
For centuries, the sorceress Circe ruled the island of Aeaea. Unwary men lured to the island by her siren's song were either turned into hideous beast men or died crashing on the jagged rocks of her island home.
Circe made a pact with the witch goddess Hecate in her efforts to become even more powerful, becoming Hecate's instrument of vengeance against the gods of Olympus who wronged her. Choosing this fate made her the eventual archenemy of Wonder Woman, whose powers were gifts from the very Olympian gods that Circe bartered her soul to destroy.
Circe is an immortal sorceress of incredible power. She can change her own appearance, transform men into hybrid beast-men, or cast mystical bolts of destructive energy. Her greatest power, however, is her power to make gods, men or beasts do her evil bidding.
