Infamous 2: DC Comics
"The inFamous DC comic is a mini-series of 6 comic books to bridge the gap between inFAMOUS and inFAMOUS 2. The comics are available to purchase on the PSN comic store application and local comic store retailers."
*********************************************************************
Plot
"The game is set in a new city called New Marais, a New Orleans-inspired city, which protagonist Cole MacGrath heads to in order to enhance his electrical abilities further. The game begins with Cole battling the Beast in Empire City, barely escaping alive. Cole, along with his friend Zeke, flees to New Marais to prepare for his inevitable confrontation with the Beast; this is the location where the Ray Sphere was first created.
"Cole encounters the Militia, a shadowy organization led by a man named Bertrand, and the Corrupted, horribly mutated beings affected by the Ray Sphere. The Militia has taken over New Marais in an attempt to keep all superpowered or abnormal entities away. Cole encounters Wolfe, one of the men involved in the Ray Sphere's creation. Cole will combat the Corrupted and Militia, explore New Marais, and learn about himself, Kessler, and The First Sons along the way while gaining new abilities to face the Beast."
*********************************************************************
Setting
"New Marais is the main setting for the upcoming inFamous 2, based off of New Orleans, Louisiana. Developers have stated that the city is much more diverse, populated, and dangerous compared to Empire City in the first game."
"Cole states that four years before the game's events, he came to New Marais to practice his parkour, even Zeke having an attempt at it, due to the recent flooding and the police's leniency compared to other cities."
"The main enemies in this city are The Militia, a group of human purity enthusiasts who wish to eliminate all super-powered humans. They are led by Bertrand. Also, ordinary humans have began to transform into Corrupted, nightmarish, rabid creatures that attack Cole and the citizens alike, forming a pseudo-gang of their own."
New Marais is based of New Orleans, Louisiana.

Infamous 2's Mission Creator
"A brand new system in the sequel that allows players to place enemies, objects and more to create your very own challenges that pop up in New Marais. You can come up with stories, limit it to races, and even assign XP to completing a quest."
"Players will be able to use any location in the open-world game and the available allies, foes, and non-player characters to construct their missions. These missions can include combat, stealth elements, limitations on Cole's powers, and race and platforming challenges."
"Most of these user-created missions will appear randomly to other players as they progress through the game's story, appearing similar to any of the on-disc missions. After completing these missions, players can rate them; this information will be used by Sucker Punch to promote popular missions to "Featured", where they will then appear in-game for all players."
Sucker Punch: "The possibilities are endless and users can create whatever they want."

Main Characters
Cole MacGrath
"The protagonist of inFamous 2, an ordinary man given an extraordinary ability to control electricity."
The Beast
"In Infamous 2, due to Kessler's tampering with the timeframe, the Beast is unleashed on the world much earlier than expected. Possibly because of this, he is immediately stronger than Cole during their first bout, with Cole barely escaping with his life. The plot of Infamous 2 centers around Cole trying to further improve his powers in time before the Beast tracks him down to New Marais."
"I saw his nemesis, a beast intent on extinguishing all life." -Cole
Kuo
"Throughout the game, she will serve as the representation of good karma, attempting to convince Cole to take that path during karmic decisions. She is the opposite of Nix and is a conduit with ice powers, which Cole can choose to obtain if he allies with her."
"Nothing worth doing is easy. Without you these people are going to die." - Kuo
Nix
"Nix is a non-affiliated operative that is against the Militia due to Bertrand killing her family. She represents the evil side of Cole's karmic choices. She can be considered the opposite of Kuo. She is a Conduit with the power to control Oil and fire."
"Why help people who hate you. Call you a devil!" - Nix
Zeke Dunbar
"Cole's best friend, he might be able to climb buildings in game by the time of InFAMOUS 2."
"He is also a good sided mission handler for Cole in the early part of the game"
Joseph Bertrand III
"A violent and charismatic demagouge portrayed as the archetypal Southern gentleman, Bertrand is the leader of "the Militia".
"I got nothing to say to you, freak." -Joseph Bertrand III
