  Millennium City University n Hero Plus Adventure 
  3
  A
  h, the ivory-covered halls of aca-
  deme — where professors teach, 
  students learn... and supervillains 
  attack! Few places make better back-
  grounds for superheroic adventure than 
  universities, with their laboratories, 
  cutting-edge research, libraries filled with 
  rare manuscripts, and dozens of other 
  sources of origin stories and general 
  trouble. And in the Champions Universe, 
  no college fits that description better 
  than the young but already hallowed 
  halls of Millennium City University.
  Millennium City University is a 
  Champions mini-setting. Although it 
  describes a location in the Champions 
  Universe, you can easily put it into other 
  settings, or adapt bits and pieces of it to 
  your own fictional university.
  Straddling the boundary between 
  the Theater District and Northside, Mil-
  lennium City University is a large, ele-
  gantly-designed campus. Unlike so many 
  universities, which were built in the 
  years before cars were common (or even 
  existed) and therefore have poor traffic 
  patterns and a dearth of reasonable park-
  ing, MCU was planned and built with the 
  automobile and the needs of the modern 
  student in mind.
  The campus consists of four concen-
  tric “rings,” plus outlying related facili-
  ties and support buildings:  the Central 
  Quadrangle; the Inner Ring; the loop 
  road; and the Outer Ring.
  The cenTRal 
  QUaDRanGle
  The Central Quadrangle, usually 
  referred to simply as “the Quad,” is the 
  heart of campus and the scene of a lot of 
  the casual student social life. It consists of 
  two large, rectangular, grassy areas split 
  by a walking path, with a fountain and 
  statue of the deceased superhero Van-
  guard in the very center. (To the extent 
  students want to refer to the two parts 
  of the Quad separately, they call them 
  “East Quad” and “West Quad.”) Campus 
  legend claims that if a virgin walks in 
  front of the statue, Vanguard will wink.
  The Quad is elegantly laid out and 
  landscaped, with plenty of tree-shaded 
  areas to break up the monotony of open 
  grass. There are also plenty of benches. 
  On all but the coldest days of the year, 
  you’ll find plenty of students here, sitting 
  on the benches (or grass) to do home-
  work, talk, or just watch the passing 
  parade (a practice known as “scoping,” 
  particularly when it refers to checking 
  out members of the opposite gender). 
  Students interested in more active rec-
  reation use the Quad to play frisbee or 
  hacky-sack.
  The inneR RinG
  The next “layer” of the campus is 
  the Inner Ring — the buildings sur-
  rounding the Quad. It includes many of 
  the most important or frequently-vis-
  ited buildings on campus, such as the 
  ones described below. None of these 
  buildings is taller than four stories so 
  the Quad can receive plenty of sun-
  light; many of them have basements, 
  and sometimes even sub-basements.
  ABERNATHY INTERFAITH CHAPEL
  The builders of MCU recognized the 
  importance of religion in both civic and 
  student life and made sure to include a 
  venue for it on campus. The Abernathy 
  Interfaith Chapel is designed to offer 
  facilities and support services for all reli-
  gious groups on campus, though the vast 
  majority of the groups that use it, and 
  of the services held, are Christian. The 
  building also includes offices for several 
  campus-based charitable and service 
  organizations, not all of them specifically 
  religious in nature. The Rev. Jacob Wil-
  lamot, a minister in his late fifties who 
  nevertheless retains a sort of youthful joy 
  about life and is popular with the stu-
  dents, runs the Chapel.
  ADMINISTRATION BUILDINGS
  The primary administrative offices 
  for MCU, including the offices of Presi-
  dent Sanford and other high-ranking 
  campus officials, are located in two Inner 
  Ring buildings. Technically the buildings 
  have names — the Crawford Administra-
  tive Building and the Mecosta Adminis-
  trative Building — but faculty and stu-
  dents alike almost always refer to them 
  as “Admin 1” and “Admin 2.” Admin 1 
  is regarded as the better-quality, more 
  prestigious of the two, though in terms 
  of interior layout and basic decor they’re 
  practically identical.
  THE ENGLISH BUILDING
  MCU’s literary scholars and critics 
  occupy this building. Classes in litera-
  ture, writing, and related subjects take 
  place here. The department also offers 
  AboUt ... 
  HERo PLUS ADVENtURES
  Millennium City University is one of 
  Hero Games’s Hero Plus Adventures, 
  a series of short, no-frills, inexpensive 
  adventures (or, more accurately in this 
  case, mini-settings) in PDF format. Hero 
  Plus Adventures are designed to provide 
  roughly one game session’s worth of 
  entertainment, though they include sug-
  gestions on how to lengthen or expand 
  the scenario if you want to. They’re writ-
  ten with simplicity and ease of use in 
  mind so you can run them with a mini-
  mum of preparation.

  MCU VItAL StAtIStICS
  Student Population:  22,000 undergraduate; 
  5,000 post-graduate (not including Law or 
  Medical students)
  Student body breakdown:
  53% female, 47% male
  57% white, 26% black, 10% Asian,  
  5% Hispanic, 2% other
  Curriculum:  MCU offers nearly 100 possible 
  majors, ranging from traditional liberal arts 
  subjects like History, English, and Anthro-
  pology to more “vocational” subjects such 
  as Journalism and Accounting. MCU is 
  regarded as strongest in the subjects of 
  electronic engineering, computer science, 
  superhuman studies, sociology, psychology, 
  and women’s studies; its law, engineering, 
  and medical schools also consistently earn 
  high rankings.
  Mascot:  The Vanguard (named in tribute 
  to the fallen superhero of the Battle of 
  Detroit, though “the Vanguard” is used 
  in a more abstract sense; the mascot who 
  appears on school logos and in costume at 
  sports events is dressed more or less like an 
  ancient Greek soldier).

  tive shade now known as “MCU red” in 
  some circles)

  more unusual fare, including screenwrit-
  ing courses, a small drama division, and 
  a collection of eclectic offerings lumped 
  together under the heading “popular cul-
  ture studies.”
  THE FOREIGN LANGUAGES 
  BUILDING
  While MCU isn’t well-known for the 
  quality or breadth of its foreign language 
  offerings, it has plenty of courses avail-
  able for those who want to study such 
  things. More prominent foreign tongues 
  such as Spanish, French, German, Italian, 
  Japanese, and Mandarin Chinese pre-
  dominate; more unusual offerings (such 
  as Arabic, Serbo-Croatian, or Russian) 
  are comparatively rare. Courses in vari-
  ous national or ethnic cultures are also 
  taught here.
  THE GREER LIBRARY
  Thanks to generous donations of 
  both money and materials, MCU’s Greer 
  Library already has over 1.5 million vol-
  umes in its collection. It’s even begun a 
  project to scan all of them into a database 
  so students can search the entire library 
  by computer with just a few keystrokes. 
  In the meantime, students who need 
  to use the actual books consider this a 
  favorite place to study. Groups of carrels 
  are scattered in clusters throughout the 
  facility, and competition for the best ones 
  — which usually means the ones with the 
  most chance of letting the user see or talk 
  to members of the opposite gender — is 
  fierce on weekday nights.
  Of particular interest to scholars, 
  not to mention certain superhumans, is 
  Greer’s Rare Book Collection, a library-
  within-the-library of unique books, 
  valuable first editions, antique reading 
  materials, and much more. The RBC is 
  kept in a special temperature-controlled 
  series of rooms. Any student can enter 
  the reading room and request a book, 
  but the books themselves are kept under 
  lock and key and can only be retrieved 
  by trained library personnel (it’s not 
  a state of the art security system, and 
  has no particular security measures 
  designed to thwart supervillains specifi-
  cally, but it’s strong enough to foil all 
  but truly determined attempts to steal 
  the books). Any books “checked out” 
  must remain in the reading room. Not 
  all requests to obtain a rare book are 
  approved. Only the Rare Book Com-
  mittee can grant access to volumes 
  deemed fragile, particularly valuable, or 
  potentially dangerous (typically because 
  of the mystical lore contained in them), 
  and it usually only approved requests 
  from known scholars.
  The gem of the Rare Book Col-
  lection is a remarkably intact copy of 
  the 1603 English printing of Soldiers In 
  Black, a volume of blasphemous verse 
  written by the mysterious Werner of 
  Bavaria. So scandalous were the qua-
  trains (and the rumors surrounding 
  their true meaning) that the book was 
  suppressed and all copies the authori-
  ties could find were burned. Legends 
  say Werner was an accomplished magi-
  cian and that his poems actually con-
  tain powerful mystical secrets for those 
  who can see through his smokescreens 
  and riddlery.
  PETERSON AUDITORIUM FOR THE 
  PERFORMING ARTS
  The center of MCU’s artistic and 
  cultural life, the Peterson Auditorium 
  hosts concerts and plays on a weekly, 
  and in some periods almost daily, basis. 
  In addition to the central auditorium, 
  which can seat up to 2,000, there are 
  several rooms suitable for smaller-scale 
  performances, galleries where works of 
  art are displayed, and the like. The Music 
  Department has its offices and class-
  rooms in this building.
  THE PSYCHOLOGY BUILDING
  MCU has already established a rep-
  utation for the quality of its Psychology 
  Department, which occupies this build-
  ing. The first and second floors contain 
  classrooms, while professors and grad 
  students have their offices on the top two 
  floors. The spacious basement features 
  laboratories for performing psychology 
  experiments under controlled condi-
  tions; its facilities and equipment include 
  a sensory deprivation chamber.
  RESTAURANTS
  Most of MCU’s eateries are found in 
  the Inner Ring (much to the annoyance 
  of professors and students who mostly 
  work in the Outer Ring and have to settle 
  for small fast food-type places unless 
  they’re willing to walk). The biggest res-
  taurant on campus is the Gottlieb Dining 
  Hall, a full-service campus cafeteria 
  offering a wide variety of food for every 
  meal. At least once a week the kitchen 
  staff provides a “special” or “theme” 
  meal, such as Greek Food. Despite the 
  fact that it’s perfectly fine food, students 
  love to complain about the quality of “the 
  Gott’s” offerings.
  Other campus restaurants include:
  n Vanguard Veggies, a small vegetar-
  ian restaurant popular with the sorority 
  crowd
  n Caffeine HQ, a coffee shop in the Wal-
  ters Student Center
  n the Brooklyn Deli, a soup and sand-
  wiches kind of place, very crowded at 
  lunchtime
  n Ferrante’s, an upscale restaurant with 
  waiters and candlelit tables
  n Detroit Rock City, a burger restaurant 
  with rock ’n’ roll theme decor
  n University Pizza, a pizza and Italian 
  food place in the Walters Student Center
  n the Rathskellar, a popular student bar 
  that also serves burgers and finger food
  THE SOCIOLOGY BUILDING
  Most of MCU’s social science 
  departments — Sociology, Anthropol-
  ogy & Archaeology, History, and more 
  — are located in this enormous build-
  ing. Like the Psychology Building, it’s 
  got classrooms on the bottom two floors 
  and offices on the top, but unlike that 
  building it lacks a basement. (Despite 
  this, several professors have half-jokingly 
  called for the establishment of a “History 
  Lab” once practical time travel devices 
  have been invented.) The building’s main 
  entranceway features a beautiful statue 
  of Clio, muse of history, holding a laurel 
  wreath and scroll.
  THE WALTERS STUDENT CENTER
  The “WSC,” as it’s mostly referred 
  to, is another major center of campus 
  life and social activity. It features several 
  restaurants (see above), snack shops, 
  the MCU Campus Bookstore (where 
  students buy their textbooks), the Van-
  guard Store (where students, parents, 
  and tourists can buy MCU memorabilia), 
  “lounges” where students can sit and 
  talk, and a couple of small auditoriums 
  used for large classes during the day and 
  movies or performances in the evenings. 
  The student government has its offices 
  here, as do many other student orga-
  nizations, and there are plenty of other 
  services to help students, plus rooms 
  they can reserve for club meetings, social 
  functions, and the like. Most students 
  and faculty members come by the WSC 
  at least once a day, and it’s also where 
  many outsiders first enter the campus via 
  a People Mover station built right into 
  the building.

  The loop RoaD
  The second “ring” out from the 
  Quad is the Loop Road. Three main 
  roads feed into it from outside campus, 
  but no roads lead further into campus. 
  It’s lined with parking garages where visi-
  tors can park their cars, then walk the 
  rest of the way. The only vehicles allowed 
  inside the Loop Road are bicycles (a 
  favorite of many students) and golf carts 
  (used by various officials and laborers). 
  Of course, exceptions are made in appro-
  priate circumstances, such as hauling in 
  building supplies to repair a structure 
  damaged in a super-battle.
  The oUTeR RinG
  The Outer Ring, a much larger 
  “zone” of campus than the Inner Ring, 
  contains three main types of buildings.
  DORMITORIES
  MCU students who live on campus 
  occupy one of the many dorms in the 
  Outer Ring. A typical dorm is 6-10 
  stories tall and segregated by gender by 
  floor. Most are simple block structures, 
  but some have wings. See Dorm Life, 
  below, for more information on them.
  Some of the dorms (and the typical 
  class years of the students assigned to 
  them) include:  Witherspoon (fresh-
  men); Preston (freshmen); Engle-
  wood (freshmen); Gilbert (freshmen); 
  Addams (sophomores); Truesdale 
  (sophomores); Livingston (sopho-
  mores); Wallace (sophomores, juniors); 
  Murchison (a.k.a. “the Murch,” juniors); 
  Tyndall (juniors); Loudon (juniors and 
  seniors); Emmert (seniors); Xavier 
  (seniors); Ford (seniors).
  SCIENCE BUILDINGS  
  AND LABORATORIES
  MCU is justifiably famed for the qual-
  ity of its science and engineering programs, 
  which are housed in various buildings in 
  the Outer Ring. These buildings typically 
  include classrooms and offices on the first 
  floor, or first two floors, and laboratories 
  and workrooms on the upper floors. In 
  addition to “hard science” work, these 
  buildings also host classes and programs 
  covering social aspects of the sciences, such 
  as MCU’s award-winning curriculum in 
  Electronic Entertainment Studies.
  Some of the main science buildings 
  include:
  n the MacDonald Computer Sciences 
  Building, home to some of the most cut-
  ting-edge computer science work being 
  performed today
  n the Thain Physics Building, which 
  contains all sorts of exotic equipment 
  ranging from laboratory-quality lasers to 
  prototype devices a gadgeteer superhero 
  (or villain!) would drool over
  n the Dinapoli Chemistry Center, 
  sometimes jokingly referred to as 
  “Ground Zero” because of the number 
  of accidental explosions that seem to 
  occur in its labs
  n the Harmon Biological Studies Build-
  ing, built with a generous donation from 
  Harmon Industries. It’s connected by a 
  walkway to the MCU School of Medi-
  cine; the two facilities often share faculty 
  and resources.
  n the Roscommon School of Engineer-
  ing, affectionately known as “the Rosco” 
  among the students who study there. 
  It’s famed for, among other things, its 
  cutting-edge work in robotics and the 
  development of practical-application 
  force technologies.
  THE SAKARIAN SCHOOL OF LAW
  Founded and built with a generous 
  donation from wealthy importer Arman 
  Sakarian, MCU’s school of law has been 
  turning out new members of the legal 
  profession since 2001. It hasn’t yet estab-
  lished a position of national prominence 
  in any particular field, though it ranks 
  well in general. To no one’s surprise it’s 
  developing a strong program in technol-
  ogy law and related fields (such as aero-
  space law and intellectual property law), 
  and in superhuman law (see Stronghold). 
  About half its students stay in Michigan 
  to practice law.
  Arman Sakarian recently opened 
  discussions with MCU about funding the 
  creation of a business school. As of early 
  2008 that project remains in the early 
  phases of negotiation.
  beYonD The 
  oUTeR RinG
  Located beyond the Outer Ring 
  are a number of facilities and structures 
  that are too big to be placed closer to the 
  main areas of campus. They include:
  CAMBRIDGE STADIUM
  Named after Cambridge Biotech-
  nologies, which funded it, Cambridge 
  Stadium is where the MCU football team 
  plays. It also hosts track and field meets. 
  Large student events, including the 
  annual graduation ceremony, the Spring 
  Festival (a sort of carnival), and various 
  rallies, also take place here... much to the 
  chagrin of the groundskeeper.
  THE MCU MEDICAL SCHOOL  
  AND HOSPITAL
  MCU boasts a fine medical school, 
  founded in 2000 with a student body of 
  several hundred and growing. Despite 
  its young age it’s already well-ranked in 
  national surveys.
  Connected to the med school by a 
  skywalk is the MCU Hospital, a teaching 
  facility where MCU med students help 
  to provide care to community residents 
  under the watchful eye of experienced 
  physicians. While not as large or highly-
  regarded as MC Mercy, MCU Hospital 
  provides fine care. It has numerous out-
  reach programs that address the health 
  needs of the underprivileged and try to 
  provide basic, helpful health information 
  to people who might not otherwise get it.
  PHILLIPS FIELD
  Internet billionaire Waid Phil-
  lips donated the money to build this 
  field. The main part of it is the baseball 
  diamond, but it’s laid out so that the 
  groundskeeping staff can create a field 
  for soccer, field hockey, rugby, and 
  similar sports.
  Near Phillips Field, but not consid-
  ered a part of it, are MCU’s tennis courts. 
  When not being used by the tennis team 
  for practice or matches, they can be 
  reserved by students for up to two hours 
  at a time.
  TAYLOR GYMNASIUM
  This large building houses indoor 
  sports facilities, primarily the University’s 
  basketball court but also a weightlifting 
  room, a couple of racquetball courts, 
  and the like. Additionally the offices of 
  the Athletic Department staff, includ-
  ing Coach Dupree and Athletic Director 
  Tom Boswell, are in Taylor.
  
  6 n Millennium City University 
  Hero System 5th Edition Revised
  I
  n addition to its thousands of stu-
  dents, MCU has a large and dedicated 
  faculty of teachers, researchers, and 
  administrators.
  The  
  aDMiniSTRaTion
  Thomas Sanford, an internationally-
  recognized expert on Shakespeare and 
  former English professor at several 
  top ten universities, has served as the 
  President of MCU since its founding. He 
  enjoys a casual rapport with the students, 
  and can call dozens (if not hundreds) 
  of them by name as he walks across 
  campus. Immensely popular, he can usu-
  ally quiet any significant campus unrest 
  (such as the 2001 furor over some head-
  lines in the Weekly Advocate) with just a 
  few calmly-spoken words. 
  Besides President Sanford, three 
  other administrators factor promi-
  nently into students’ lives. The first 
  is the Bursar, Allen Lundquist, who’s 
  responsible for taking in tuition and 
  fees and disbursing scholarship money 
  and other funds. Lundquist’s office also 
  oversees MCU’s various work-study 
  programs. Not a day goes by that some 
  student with a serious problem isn’t 
  kicked up the bureaucracy to Lun-
  dquist to have that problem resolved. 
  Lundquist does his best to be fair and 
  sympathetic, and to help when he can, 
  but all too often he has to give students 
  the bad news that there’s no more 
  money available.
  Students tend to get better results 
  from Registrar Paula Fisher, who’s in 
  charge of class scheduling and a host 
  of related matters. Fisher is a plump, 
  friendly woman of mixed black and 
  Hispanic ancestry who likes to be liked, 
  so she does whatever she can to help 
  students who have scheduling difficul-
  ties or related problems. Two years ago 
  she was the students’ biggest ally in their 
  ultimately successful campaign to shift 
  the overall class schedule slightly so that 
  commuter students would find it easier 
  to get to class on time.
  Foster Demanowicz, Dean of 
  Student Life and Activities, is another 
  administrator students turn to when they 
  have problems like complaints about a 
  professor being biased, a need to get a 
  permit to hold a special event, or trying 
  to persuade the University to provide 
  some new services for students. “Dean 
  Dem” is enormously popular with the 
  student body, largely because he truly 
  cares about them and helps them as 
  much as possible. Even when he has to 
  give a student bad news he has a way of 
  doing it that really softens the blow.
  The facUlTY
  Millennium City University has a 
  large and varied faculty that includes 
  academics considered to be among the 
  best in their fields in the United States, 
  and even the world. Besides Dr. Maxwell 
  Brady of the Department of Archaeology, 
  Dr. Harriet Jackson of the Department of 
  Physics, and Dr. Bernadette Rosenbaum 
  of the Department of Astronomy (all of 
  whom you can read about in Everyman), 
  some of the faculty’s more notable mem-
  bers include:
  DR. JORGE RODRIGUEZ
  A professor of Political Science, 
  Dr. Rodriguez grew up in Chile during 
  the Pinochet regime and got his start 
  as an anti-government agitator. After 
  things got a little too hot for him he fled 
  to the United States, earned his gradu-
  ate degree, and became a professor. An 
  expert on Latin American politics and 
  culture who’s testified before Congres-
  sional committees on several occasions, 
  he’s got Latin good looks and an enthrall-
  ing baritone voice that attract women 
  to his classes in droves. The fact that his 
  lectures are enormously entertaining 
  and peppered with stories about running 
  from the secret police only makes his 
  classes all the more popular.
  DR. MARTINA CALVIN
  Doctor Calvin is the academic 
  superstar of MCU’s vaunted Department 
  of Superhuman Studies, a multidisci-
  plinary unit that researches all aspects of 
  superhumans and their powers. Calvin’s 
  specialty is the soft science side of things 
  — the social and political impact super-
  humans have on American society. She’s 
  written three books about the subject, all 
  of them bestsellers, and her good looks 
  and charming manner have made her a 
  star on the talk-show circuit as well as 
  around campus. (Despite this, she’s also 
  widely and deeply respected in academic 
  circles; her work isn’t just popular, it’s 
  groundbreaking and of top quality.) She’s 
  currently working on what she describes 
  as “my biggest, most important book to 
  date,” but refuses to say exactly who or 
  what the subject is.
  ALLEN HOCHSTEDTER
  The bane of Journalism students 
  who expect cushy assignments and easy 
  grades, Professor Hochstedter (he doesn’t 
  have  Ph.D and gets annoyed if anyone 
  calls him “Doctor”) is a reporter who’s 
  still firmly entrenched in the old school. 
  He came up through the ranks as a 
  stringer for AP and has filed stories from 
  every war zone, Third World hell-hole, 
  and crisis flash point there is. He drinks 
  like a fish (even in class, to the consterna-
  tion of some students and the adminis-
  tration), though it never seems to affect 
  him, and blatantly disregards “No Smok-
  ing” signs. He’s absolutely uncompromis-
  ing when it comes to teaching quality 
  journalism, constantly drilling “get the 
  facts, get the facts, get the facts!” and “go 
  where the story is, don’t expect it to come 
  to you!” into his students’ heads.
  DR. RICHARD PRYNE
  Some of the most cutting-edge 
  robotics work in the world is being done 
  by Dr. Richard Pryne of MCU’s Depart-
  ment of Physics. Acerbic and testy, he 
  detests teaching as a distraction from his 
  work and refuses to even consider teach-
  ing undergraduates... and he brings in 
  more than enough grant money to get his 
  way. He works only with a select group 
  of half a dozen graduate students whom 
  he selects each year from hundreds of 
  applicants from around the world. His 
  repeated requests to the US govern-
  ment to be allowed to study remnants of 
  Mechanon’s various bodies kept in stor-
  age at Stronghold (and similar facilities) 
  are always flatly refused, much to his 
  intense aggravation.
  adjunct Superhero 
  faculty
  Over the years a number of super-
  heroes have taught classes at MCU; some 
  teach there on a regular basis (though 
  none are full-time faculty members). 
  Though there are obviously some dangers

  associated with attending a class taught 
  by a superhero, who could be attacked by 
  one of his enemies in mid-lecture, MCU’s 
  never experienced a serious incident and 
  superhero-taught classes are always fully 
  subscribed within minutes of registration 
  opening. Some of the super-faculty who 
  teach at MCU include:
  DEFENDER
  Defender appears as a guest lecturer 
  in classes about electronic engineer-
  ing and computer science once or twice 
  nearly every semester.
  DR. SILVERBACK
  Everyone’s favorite ape-about-town 
  has taught a number of undergraduate 
  courses as a visiting professor, in fields 
  as varied as Physics, Biology, pop cul-
  ture studies, and Superhuman Studies. 
  When the mood takes him he sometimes 
  arranges to teach intense graduate semi-
  nars on very specific topics that interest 
  him, such as evolutionary biology.
  NIGHTWIND
  Nightwind has taught kung fu 
  classes as part of the Athletic Depart-
  ment’s curriculum a couple times. 
  Despite persistent student nagging he 
  refuses to teach any of his secret martial 
  arts moves, or even demonstrate them.
  WITCHCRAFT
  Witchcraft occasionally guest-
  lectures to Department of Anthropol-
  ogy seminars about various aspects of 
  mythology and mysticism. She tends 
  not to do it often because she finds so 
  many of the students to be skeptical 
  of what she says, despite all the evi-
  dence that she knows what she’s talking 
  about. MCUers still talk about the time 
  she turned a particularly obnoxious 
  student into a frog to demonstrate that 
  magic wasn’t “just card tricks.”
  THE ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT
  Athletic Director Tom Boswell, 
  who’s in charge of MCU’s athletics pro-
  grams, is a bull-necked (and often bull-
  headed) fellow who played football for 
  the University of Nebraska and the Los 
  Angeles Rams in his youth. He’s been 
  accused of favoring the football team 
  over all the other University sports pro-
  grams, a charge he flatly denies and for 
  which there’s no real evidence. He spends 
  a lot of time on the road either meeting 
  with local alumni groups to encourage 
  support (and donations) for the Univer-
  sity or as part of MCU’s athlete recruit-
  ment efforts.
  The only campus figure who can 
  rival President Sanford in popularity 
  is Coach LeRoy Dupree, who’s led the 
  football team to a winning season every 
  year since 1997. A short, feisty black 
  man, he often comes across as sort of a 
  lovably opinionated loudmouth, but the 
  truth is he’s got both book smarts and 
  street smarts and usually knows exactly 
  what he’s doing and saying — he’s not 
  just mouthing off. A lot of other coaches 
  have underestimated him over the years, 
  and that’s one of the secrets of his suc-
  cess. He’s a frequent figure on the fund-
  raising circuit and always a big hit with 
  the alums.
  MCU’s basketball coach, Terry 
  Tucker, isn’t quite as well received. He’s 
  had his share of winning seasons, but 
  has yet to achieve real college basket-
  ball success (i.e., a spot in the NCAA 
  or NIT tournaments). His players like 
  him, and many students admire him 
  for his involvement with all sorts of 
  campus projects and charitable activi-
  ties, but if he doesn’t start turning in 
  winning seasons consistently he won’t 
  be long for his job.

  ollege isn’t just lectures and term 
  papers. Like any other major insti-
  tution of higher learning, MCU is 
  a rich social tapestry where all sorts of 
  things go on outside the classroom.
  annUal eVenTS
  Besides the traditional American 
  holidays, which are usually observed 
  with a class recess of a day or more, 
  MCU celebrates several annual events. 
  The first is Homecoming, held in late 
  October or early November every year. 
  Many alumni return for the event, and 
  Greek organizations and other campus 
  groups compete to see who can create 
  the prizewinning float for the parade that 
  takes place before the game.
  In late January MCU holds Parents’ 
  Day. It was instituted just a few years 
  ago when MCU’s student body diversi-
  fied to the point where more than half 
  the students didn’t come from homes 
  within a couple hours’ driving distance of 
  campus. Parents are encouraged to come 
  for a long weekend, attend classes and 
  other events with their student, and learn 
  more about campus life. Many students 
  find this to be an excruciating ordeal that 
  involves concealing their drinking habits.
  For Valentine’s Day, the Greek orga-
  nizations and several charitable groups 
  on campus compete to sell red carnations 
  to the students, which the organizations 
  then deliver to the indicated recipient 
  (typically the buyer’s girlfriend or boy-
  friend) on February 14. All proceeds 
  go to charity, and the organization that 
  sells the most flowers gets an additional 
  contribution from President Sanford’s 
  discretionary fund (and bragging rights, 
  of course!). Competition is fierce; it’s not 
  unknown for well-heeled alumni to help 
  out their old fraternity or sorority by 
  making a large flower purchase.
  The annual ritual of Spring Break 
  occurs in mid- to late March. Eager to 
  escape the lingering Michigan winter, 
  hundreds of students trek to Florida, 
  Mexico, California, and other warm 
  climes for a week of (depending on per-
  sonal preference) idle fun or Dionysian 
  debauchery. The school administration 
  mounts a campaign every year encourag-
  ing “responsible Spring Break behavior,” 
  but for all too many students it falls on 
  deaf ears.
  The last major event of the MCU 
  year (aside from graduation) is the 
  Spring Festival, which takes place in last 
  April or early May. Hundreds of vendors 
  sell food from around the world, eclectic 
  clothing, books, and anything else stu-
  dents could want. Many types of artists 
  and performers appear, usually with at 
  least one big-name headliner appearing.
  caMpUS  
  neWSpapeRS
  Besides going online, MCU students 
  have several ways to get the latest news 
  about what’s happening on campus and 
  around the world. The University’s main 
  student newspaper is the Daily Vanguard, 
  produced by a dedicated staff of perpetu-
  ally sleep-deprived student publishers 
  and reporters. In addition to articles and 
  interviews about campus activities, it’s 
  got a popular comics and puzzles page, 
  and also runs classified ads for students 
  looking to buy or sell dorm refrigerators, 
  used textbooks, and other stuff.
  Although “the DV” (as it’s known) 
  is MCU’s only daily newspapers, several 
  others are published by students, typi-
  cally on a weekly or monthly basis. The 
  University Beacon is a leftist (sometimes 
  verging on Communist) paper popular 
  with many students; it comes out every 
  Thursday. The smaller right-wing con-
  tingent on campus counters every Friday 
  with the Weekly Advocate. Incendiary 
  writing in the Advocate has caused an 
  uproar or three over the years, though 
  the administration has strongly con-
  demned the leftists’ occasional tactic of 
  expressing their disagreement with the 
  Advocate by taking all the issues from the 
  stands before the student body can see 
  them. Advocate chief editor James Has-
  selbeck is unrepentant about the news-
  paper’s conduct and often seems to go 
  out of his way to rile up liberal students, 
  making him extremely unpopular in 
  some quarters.
  DoRM life
  About two-thirds of MCU’s under-
  graduates, and a third of her graduate 
  students, live in the campus dormitories. 
  (The university’s presence in such a high-
  ly-populated urban area makes it easy for 
  students to commute if they prefer.) See 
  above regarding dormitory names.
  MCU dormitories are segregated by 
  gender by floor (or sometimes by wing, 
  in buildings that have wings). Students 
  who want to cohabitate can sometimes 
  figure out illicit ways around this, but 
  usually a couple that wants to live 
  together just finds off-campus housing.
  Most of the rooms are designed to 
  house two students and share a common 
  bathroom with another room of two stu-
  dents, but there are one or two “singles” 
  available on most floors for a higher 
  annual fee. In addition to the two beds, 
  the dorm rooms come furnished with 
  two desks, two bookshelves, two dress-
  ers, and one shared closet. Most students 
  buy or rent a small refrigerator as well. 
  This doesn’t leave too much room to 
  move around, but the students get used 
  to it; some save space by building a large 
  wooden frame that holds the two beds 
  as bunkbeds. Each floor or wing also has 
  one or two shower rooms that include 
  several toilets for those annoying times 
  when your roommate just won’t get out 
  of the dorm bathroom.
  Common facilities for each dorm 
  — laundry room, one or two televi-
  sion rooms, a couple of rooms students 
  can reserve for study groups or social 
  activities, vending machine room, and 
  so on — are on the ground floor (though 
  some of the larger dorm buildings have a 
  second laundry room about halfway up).
  Most dorms also have offices on the 
  first floor where one or two administra-
  tors tasked with “looking after” that 
  dorm (in addition to any other duties 
  they might have) work. Students who 
  have a problem — ranging from seeing 
  a mouse in their room, to personality 
  clashes with roommates, to class schedul-
  ing questions — can visit these adminis-
  trators during working hours. Addition-
  ally, each floor has at least one resident 
  advisor (“RA”), a grad student who gets 
  free rooming in exchange for keeping an 
  eye on the dorm’s inhabitants. RAs range 
  from watchful and strict to notoriously 
  lax and indulgent; most undergrads seem 
  to prefer the latter.
  A few dorms have professor in resi-
  dence programs that allows a university 
  professor to live in a dorm room rent-
  free as a way of encouraging student-

  faculty interaction. For the most part this 
  program is widely praised, though it has 
  led to a few cases of improper fraterniza-
  tion that have resulted in professors get-
  ting dismissed.
  FOOD AND MEAL PLANS
  No MCU dorms feature any eating 
  facilities, much to the students’ annoy-
  ance at times. Additionally, it’s against 
  university rules for students to cook 
  food in their rooms, though well over 
  three-quarters of them defy this ban 
  by having toaster ovens, microwaves, 
  and/or coffee pots. The University 
  expects students to eat either at one of 
  the on-campus restaurants, or to make 
  their own arrangements off-campus. 
  For the former, MCU offers a selection 
  of “meal plans.” A student on a meal 
  plan purchases, as part of his overall 
  tuition and expenses package, a debit 
  card that’s only usable at MCU eateries. 
  He can add more money to the card if 
  he runs out, and if he has any left over 
  at the end of the year it rolls over to 
  next year (or he gets a refund if he’s 
  graduating). Meal plans range from 
  cheap (one meal per day) to full cover-
  age (three meals a day plus periodic 
  snacks). Students on a budget often get 
  the cheap plan and simply eat one huge 
  meal a day at Gottlieb Dining Hall — a 
  practice the Student Health department 
  frowns on but has never had any luck 
  in stoping.
  Social life
  MCU has an active and varied 
  social life. Among the majority of stu-
  dents the preferred activity is “partying,” 
  which usually involves consuming lots 
  of alcohol (though in recent years the 
  University’s become much more vigilant 
  about preventing underage drinking and 
  binge drinking, with some success). But 
  that’s far from the only form of social-
  ization available. On any given night at 
  MCU one can usually find movies being 
  shown, poetry readings being held, dis-
  cussion groups and student clubs holding 
  meetings, lectures being given, and con-
  certs being performed.
  Naturally, social life takes an 
  upswing on the weekends. Many stu-
  dents define “the weekend” as beginning 
  Thursday night; class attendance on Fri-
  days is lower than any other day of the 
  week. Saturday night is when the biggest 
  parties and events are held; campus orga-
  nizations often reserve the choicest dates 
  with the Greek Leadership Council (see 
  below) months in advance.
  THE GREEK SCENE
  Almost two dozen fraternities and 
  sororities have chapters at MCU; they’re 
  a vital part of campus social life. The beer 
  busts, beer blasts, keggers, stein hoists, 
  beer nights, and other activities the 
  Greek organizations sponsor can keep a 
  student who’s part of the “in crowd” busy 
  pretty much every night of the week. In 
  theory the fraternities and sororities also 
  do some charity work from time to time.
  When MCU first opened, fraterni-
  ties and sororities were assigned specific 
  wings of various seniors dormitories; one 
  perk of joining a Greek organization was 
  that this gave sophomores and juniors 
  the chance to live in better accomoda-
  tions than they ordinarily could. But 
  over the past several years many of the 
  frats and sororities have grown large and 
  active enough that they’ve bought houses 
  just off-campus where a substantial por-
  tion of each organization’s membership 
  lives. Prominently decorated with the let-
  ters that identify the organization living 
  there, the houses run the gamut from 
  high-class and elegant to on the verge of 
  being condemned.
  The main event of the Greek year 
  is Rush Week in late October, when 
  interested sophomores and juniors try 
  to gain access to the Greek organization 
  of their choice. (By campus regulations, 
  freshmen cannot become Greeks; seniors 
  who aren’t already Greeks almost never 
  bother.) The result, particularly among 
  the frats, tends to be a lot of pranks as 
  they supposedly test prospective mem-
  bers’ merit by gauging their cleverness 
  and willingness to withstand humiliation. 
  At the end of the week the organizations 
  make their respective picks. After that 
  the new Greeks usually undergo a three- 
  to six-month initiation period. Hazing is 
  a big part of the initiation period among 
  the frats (and a few sororities), though 
  it’s pretty mild compared to what it used 
  to be like. An incident four years ago in 
  which a student nearly got killed during 
  a hazing event forced the University to 
  crack down hard.
  The Greek Leadership Council 
  (GLC) is in charge of overseeing Greek 
  life at MCU. Primarily its duties are (a) 
  to approve new fraternities and sororities 
  that want to open a chapter on campus, 
  (b) coordinating the organizations’ 
  activities to prevent conflicts, and (c) 
  ensuring that each organization meets 
  the University’s minimum standards to 
  remain on campus (e.g., the members 
  have to maintain a certain average grade 
  point ranking). Led by Gabe Stanley 
  of Alpha Alpha Mu (one of the most 
  exclusive frats on campus, which attracts 
  a lot of athletes and other “big men on 
  campus”), the GLC has taken a soft line 
  on disciplinary matters in recent years, 
  often intervening with the administra-
  tion to save troubled frats and sororities 
  from losing their accreditation. As a 
  result, Stanley is wildly popular among 
  much of the campus population.
  OTHER STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
  Beyond the Greeks, there are liter-
  ally hundreds of other campus organiza-
  tions that students can join, covering 
  the gamut of student interests. There are 
  racial and ethnic groups (the African-
  American Student Association, the MCU 
  Arab Alliance, and many, many more), 
  hobby-related organizations (the MCU 
  Chess Club, the MCU Apple Users Con-
  clave, the MCU Roleplaying Game Club, 
  the Jane Austen Appreciation Society, 
  and so on), intramural sports leagues, 
  and political and charitable organizations 
  (Young Republicans and Young Demo-
  crats, Students for Social Change, MCU 
  Right To Life, an MCU chapter of Habitat 
  for Humanity, and so forth). No matter 
  what a student’s interests, the odds are he 
  can find a group at MCU devoted to that 
  particular subject.
  STUDenT  
  GoVeRnMenT
  The MCU student body is repre-
  sented by the Students’ Association of 
  Millennium City University (SAMCU), 
  usually referred to by the nickname 
  “SAM.” SAM is a representative body 
  consisting of “legislators” elected by each 
  dormitory based on population, plus a 
  dozen at-large members. Leading the 
  organization are a President, Vice-Presi-
  dent, and Treasurer, who each serve for a 
  one-year term.
  The election season for student 
  government is in April, and any student 
  in good standing is eligible to run for 
  either a dorm rep position, an at-large 
  seat, or one of the three officer positions. 
  The student elections tend to get a lot of 
  play in the campus newspapers and are a 
  big deal to students interested in campus 
  politics, but the average student seems 
  to pay relatively little attention. Except 
  in years when there’s some major hot-
  button issue, voting falls well below 50% 
  of the student population.
  The main functions of SAM (which 
  holds open to the public meetings every 
  Monday night) are twofold. First, it repre-
  sents the student body on matters of inter-
  est to it. For example, SAM might lobby the 
  MCU administration for more computer 
  
  10 n Millennium City University 
  Hero System 5th Edition Revised
  hubs on campus, the creation of a new 
  eatery, or a reduction in certain University 
  fees. It can be fairly said that SAM tends to 
  do a lot of good on getting small matters 
  addressed, but tends to have relatively little 
  impact on broader issues simply because 
  the University rarely has the money to 
  quickly implement changes or additions 
  the students want. SAM often brings major 
  ideas to the administration that are worth 
  considering, but even the ones the admin-
  istration agrees to usually take years to put 
  into place.
  Second, SAM administers the Student 
  Activity Fee (SAF). Every student enrolled 
  at MCU has to pay a $150 annual SAF that 
  funds student organizations and activities. 
  The head of the Student Activity Commit-
  tee of SAM, who’s appointed by the Presi-
  dent, is arguably the most important and 
  powerful member of student government, 
  since he and his committee decide which 
  student organizations get funding, and how 
  much. Each student organization submits 
  a proposed budget in September and then 
  receives whatever funding the SAC thinks 
  it deserves. The major student organiza-
  tions, such as the African-American Stu-
  dent Association and the intramural sports 
  leagues, tend to get the lion’s share of the 
  total SAF fund, but nearly any legitimate 
  student organization can get at least a 
  little. For example, the Chess Club usually 
  receives a couple hundred dollars for the 
  purchase of new chess equipment and to 
  help defray the Club’s expenses for attend-
  ing chess tournaments.
  WiReD life
  Naturally, MCU is as “wired” as Mil-
  lennium City itself. All dorm rooms and 
  classrooms have broadband Internet access, 
  and the entire campus is a wireless access 
  point. All students must have a laptop 
  computer when they enroll, but MCU 
  also provides “computer nodes” of about 
  a dozen computers each plus a printer in 
  various places around campus. Students 
  can use the MCU network to exchange 
  messages, interact via MySpace and Face-
  book, buy goods from campus stores, order 
  food from off-campus eateries that deliver, 
  and even place an order “to go” with any of 
  the campus restaurants. All of the campus’s 
  cash registers are set up with infrared ports 
  that let the device link up with a student’s 
  cell phone or PDA to quickly deduct the 
  amount of the purchase from the student’s 
  campus account, making cash relatively 
  uncommon in the stores. Many students 
  have commented on how frustrating it is to 
  graduate and go out into a “real world” that 
  lacks so many of these conveniences.

  Besides the superheroes who occa-
  sionally serve as professors (see above), 
  there’s a population of superhumans — 
  both heroes and villains — who exist in 
  secret on the MCU campus. It’s widely 
  assumed that some superheroes and vil-
  lains are MCU professors or students in 
  their secret identities, and playing “guess 
  who’s a super” is a favorite gossipy pas-
  time among some students.
  SUpeRheRoeS
  A number of superheroes teach at 
  or attend MCU in their secret identities, 
  including:
  El Aguijón:  This member of the Mil-
  lennium City 8 is secretly Professor 
  Alejandro Montez of the Department of 
  Biology. A specialist in entomology, he 
  mostly teaches small seminars to upper-
  classmen and undergraduates while 
  researching ways to improve the human 
  condition with regard to insect life. (See 
  Digital Hero.)
  Richard Reiger:  Happy-go-lucky his-
  tory major Richard Reiger is secretly 
  the superhero Aegis, who has force-
  manipulation powers. He’s not an active 
  superhero by any means, but he’s willing 
  to put on his costume and pitch in if an 
  emergency arises.
  Sai:  Susie Jefferson, formerly a student at 
  the Ravenswood Academy, takes courses 
  part-time at MCU. She has yet to pick a 
  major. (See Teen Champions.)
  Jerry Spencer:  One of the most gifted 
  students in the Electronic Engineering 
  and Computer Science departments 
  (double major), Jerry has ambitions to 
  become a gadgeteer superhero and has 
  already made a pretty good start. Using 
  the name Diode, he’s fought crime 
  successfully several times, though he 
  has yet to face a supervillain. Some of 
  his gadgets include rocket boots, force 
  field-generating bracers, a blaster pistol 
  he can configure to fire different types 
  of energy beams, a helmet with various 
  sensory and communications devices, 
  and a belt that gives him some teleki-
  netic powers. His costume includes a 
  chest harness with multiple pockets 
  to hold spare parts that he can use to 
  build gadgets on the fly.
  SUpeRVillainS
  Villainous lectures
  The following supervillains teach at 
  MCU, either full-time or part-time:
  The Basilisk:  Professor Allen Walker 
  teaches in the History Department, with 
  a specialty in medieval and Renaissance 
  studies. He mostly teaches undergradu-
  ates. (See Villains, Vandals, And Vermin.)
  Grenadier:  Professor Debra Kiser still 
  teaches in the Physics Department 
  despite having gained superpowers and 
  become a villain. She used to be one 
  of the most popular professors in the 
  department, but the accident that gave 
  her powers also made her coldhearted, 
  with a biting, sarcastic wit, and her popu-
  larity has plummeted accordingly. (See 
  Villains, Vandals, And Vermin.)
  Howler:  Howler is secretly Professor 
  Susan Sonderheim of the Department of 
  Archaeology, specializing in the history 
  of the Middle East and northern/central 
  Africa (excluding Egypt). She usually 
  only teaches one class a year, a seminar 
  for upperclassmen and early grad stu-
  dents; colleagues often describe her as 
  “distracted.” (See Conquerors, Killers, And 
  Crooks.)
  Tachyon:  Professor Steve Maxwell got his 
  powers from an accident involving kel-
  varite when he was a student at the MCU 
  Department of Astronomy. He teaches 
  undergraduate and graduate astronomy 
  courses at the University, and sometimes 
  even consults with the government on 
  matters pertaining to alien life and civili-
  zations. (See Champions.)
  Thorn:  As Professor Lawrence Lloyd, he 
  still teaches in the Department of Botany 
  part-time. He always wears loose, long-
  sleeved clothing to hide the changes to 
  his physical form, and uses makeup and 
  wigs to make his face look normal. (See 
  Conquerors, Killers, And Crooks.)
  other  
  McU-associated  
  Villains
  The following supervillains are asso-
  ciated with MCU in some way:
  Anubis:  Ethan Neritski was a gradu-
  ate student in MCU’s Department of 
  Archaeology when he became Anubis. 
  Today he spends a lot of time in his 
  Secret Identity at Greer Library research-
  ing Egyptology and related matters. (See 
  Conquerors, Killers, And Crooks.)
  Black Fang:  James Talmadge is still a 
  student at MCU, barely squeaking by 
  semester after semester as he wrestles 
  with his inner demon... or rather, 
  inner wolf. In werewolf form he’s been 
  sighted on campus a couple times, and 
  is responsible for two gruesome and as 
  yet unsolved murders that took place 
  just off campus a few months ago. (See 
  Arcane Adversaries.)
  Lodestone:  Lodestone was a physics 
  student at MCU when he got his mag-
  netism powers from a lab accident. He 
  no longer has any close association 
  with the University. (See Conquerors, 
  Killers, And Crooks.)
  Ricochet:  Ricochet was an MCU stu-
  dent when he conducted the “experi-
  ment” that gave him his powers over 
  kinetic energy. He has no real connec-
  tion to the University anymore. (See 
  Villains, Vandals, And Vermin.)
  Thunderbolt II:  Thunderbolt II got his 
  powers from the same accident that 
  created Tachyon (see above). He no 
  longer has any close association with 
  the University. (See Conquerors, Killers, 
  And Crooks.)
