The Boston Games were a series of conflicts among both villain groups to fill a power vacuum created after the toppling of most previously established gangs in Boston.

Prelude

Following several arrests in Boston, the local Protectorate team removed almost all villains from power, creating a large void in power that attracted villains of various standings to try and establish themselves in the city. Multiple villain groups began to divide up territory throughout the city, while the PRT and other hero groups mainly served to oversee and manage the situation until it calmed down.<ref name=II2.5>For the rest of the room, I explained, keeping half of an eye on Mrs. Yamada, to make sure I wasn’t overstepping. “A series of arrests in Boston saw a shift in the power balance of local gangs. That’s a pretty common thing, but the Protectorate team followed up on it hard, toppling just about every major and most minor gangs and villains in the city, leaving a void that was bigger than usual. Villains of every power level and stripe flocked to the city, villains in neighboring cities had a vested interest in having a foothold there as a place to retreat to or a place to expand, and it became an entangled nightmare of villain politics and power plays.”

“Time of my life,” Ashley said.

“Heroes, like the PRT, and like my family’s team, followed, to try and keep the peace until things settled. My family’s team was Lady Photon, Manpower, Flashbang, Brandish, Lightstar and Fleur.” - Excerpt from Flare 2.5</ref>

Aftermath

Despite not coming away from the Boston Games with the power she wanted, Damsel of Distress gained some repute; her successor looked back on the Games fondly.<ref name=II2.5/>
