How many Heroes live to retirement? Does a Hero ever put in their time and then give up the good fight, and run off to spend their retirement in Aruba? How many, out of our enormous pantheon of Heroes, have successfully put Panopolis in their rear-view mirrors since the Spartan and his cohorts?

Two. Panopolis has had ninety-seven registered Heroes working its streets over the years, and the only ones who didn’t end their terms of service in death or permanent disability were Bellaroque, also known as Bella and Rocco, the twin compatriots and best friends of Morpho Girl. You might remember them: Bella was the closest thing this city has ever had to a real psychic, and Rocco could snap his fingers and come up juggling fireballs.

After Morpho lost her marbles, the twins packed their bags and left, despite the mayor at the time entreating them to stay. They were subsequently pilloried by the media, and no one has heard anything about them since.

One can only assume that they’d had enough. They’d given their talents, their youth, their friends—everything they’d had—to Panopolis. And what had they gotten in return? Spite and hatred for leaving in order to preserve what was left of themselves. I don’t know where they are today; I’m not sure if anyone knows. But wherever they are, I hope they’ve found the peace and happiness that they deserve. Because God knows, none of the rest of the Heroes have.
