Leaderboards RebornCommunity Information Kiosks were originally functional in-game leaderboards for tracking player stats released in Issue 2: A Shadow of the Past during the original run of the game. They were removed from the original game after causing performance issues. Special thanks to Pazaz for restoring their functionality. With Rebirth issue 6, the long-dormant Kiosks spring to life once more! Kiosks will be present on both hero and villain sides. Players will be able to compete for spots on the leadership boards in areas such as:

Power Info EmergenceEver since Issue 12: The Midnight Hour, players could access real-time power details through the Power Info interface. As powers became more complex, the interface became unable to convey their complex information. Although secondary resources like MIDS and Red Tomax’s City of Data are invaluable resources, we believe that you should have all power information at your fingertips. In Rebirth Issue 6, we have enhanced the Power Info interface to show even more details.
Check out the Power Info Emergance Dev Diary to find out all the details.
