Little-Known Hero Crushed by Clockwork

By Shakelbolt Vane, Paragon City Chronicle

GALAXY CITY - Accupuncture, one of Paragon City's many heroes, was confirmed dead today. The report ended months of investigation begun on a tip that she was in the a building that mysteriously collapsed recently in Galaxy City.

"As near as we can tell," said Longbow Special Agent Forrest Anderson, "she was fighting a group of Clockwork in an abandoned warehouse when it suddenly came down on top of her. What's odd is that she'd never had problem with clockwork before. But based on evidence found at the scene, we believe there was a new type of gear present that she wasn't prepared for, and that may have been her undoing."

Rumors that Clockwork super villain Babbage was seen galumphing away from the scene have not been proved despite several witness accounts, and the agent offered no explanation as to what may have specifically caused the building to come down.

"Uh, oddest thing I've ever seen," said the agent, scratching his helmet uncomfortably.

Services for Accupuncture were held shortly after her death. The mayor of Galaxy City also commissioned a new statue for the township's fallen heroes gallery.
