Because the site is meant to keep from focusing on a single hero or franchise, which isn't an easy task, there are currently four cities to play in. While you are welcome to place your character in any of them, (unless they're well-established in one of the existing cities, like Bats or Supes,) each city does have its own... flavor, and your character might do better working in one area than in another.
Metropolis
On the cutting edge of technology, and housing both a super-powered alien and a meglomaniac CEO, Metropolis is going to be seeing a lot of bullet-proof and kevlar-ripping threats, albeit threats lacking a terrible amount of subtlety. Gangs outfitted with advanced technology will all but swarm the city, and superpowered villains will be aplenty, even without direct interference from certain evil bald men. If you're the sort of guy who can punch through concrete, make things explode with your brain, or turn into a seven foot tall golem, you might find a good home here.
Gotham City
Truly a city that never sleeps, unless you count the occasional nightmare, the threats that lurk here are as subtle as a shadowed knife between your ribs. Just because you can shoot fire from your fingertips doesn't mean you'll be able to clean up the streets; for one thing, you'll have a hard time finding anything of note. For that matter, dirtying the streets won't work so well, as fire tends to lead people right to you To succeed in Gotham, you have to be smart, sneaky, and especially lucky; otherwise, muggings and the occasional convenience store robbery will be all you'll ever get you'll ever stop... or accomplish.
Jump City
Hello, Giant Monsters. For some reason Jump City sees more aggressive behemoths than Tokyo, which is one of the reasons the heroes who take residence here seem to have a habit of pairing up in groups. This city is best designed for you if you're thinking of making your character more social; working directly with others, even befriending your teammates, rather than mostly operating alone. Many of the threats Jump City faces on a regular basis would give even the heaviest hitter a difficult time, so the key here is to combine your strengths and coordinate your assaults to get the job done.
Keystone City
A bit of a blend, Keystone City truly has it all; mobs, tech gangs, the occasional giant robot or tornado, a real cornucopia of chaos. As a result, the vigilantes and villains who spring up here are equally as varied, making Keystone a colorful - and dangerous - place to live.
