About

On 20th November 2009, a catastrophic event dubbed The Cataclysm wiped the world's greatest heroes and villains off the face of the planet, and created a death toll stretching into the millions. Though most of the world survived, it is now in the grip of super villains who avoided The Cataclysm. It may not have been quite the victory they expected, but it is the outcome they wanted: all the heroes are dead and the world is theirs. Or so they believe... The No More Heroes Anthology is based on a shared universe. We'd like YOU to write stories about the aftermath of The Cataclysm, using the created characters however you see fit. The Prologue to The Cataclysm and character rosters are listed on the No More Heroes blog.
