You start out playing missions in Manhattan, but as you gain experience you can move on to other cities, including Athens, Tokyo, New Delhi, Toronto, the lost city of Atlantis, and eventually the mysterious WretchedHive known as Supervillain City. Along the way, you meet various allies, develop a [[RoguesGallery wide cross-section of foes]], and uncover a hidden plot in an underlying StoryArc.

** Also, you can get these for your character avatar as visible weapons.

As with fellow online games such as MafiaWars and FarmVille, Superhero City encourages player networking (especially if you play through Facebook) in order to boost your hero's stats, most especially attack and defense strength and agility; essentially, the more playing allies you have, the stronger you become. You can also exchange gifts with your fellow team players, ranging from replenishing items to special mission-specific items.
