At Wizard World Chicago WizKids showed off their HeroClix City of Villains figures, which are based on NC Soft's City of Villains, the sequel to the highly popular City of Heroes MMORPG (massively multi-player online role-playing game).  City of Villains is slated for a December 30th release and WizKids is producing seven limited-edition City of Villains HeroClix figures, which will be available as advance order premiums for NC Soft's City of Villains release--and as prizes in some HeroClix approved play tournaments.

The seven City of Villains figures include four Arachnos villains, Lord Recluse, Ghost Widow, Black Scorpion and Captain Mako as well as three members of the Freedom Phalanx, Statesman, Manticore and Positron.
