Rain day massacre

On the noon of the 5th June 1993 a villain called Rain Man unleashed his powers on the populace of Hezus, and took the lives of over 2000 civilians, along with 12 heroes and 4 villains and injured more than 6000 others.

Attack
The villain appeared at around 12:50 in the main square of Hezus and started using his powers to murder everyone around him and cause massive damage to the surroundings. Within 5 minutes the first hero - Static Twister - arrived to fight against The Rain man, but was quickly killed by the villain. Subsequently, a squad led by La Gravité arrived to fight against the villain. Unbreakable Hope also arrived to rescue survivors and help people escape.

A group of villains called Eyeless Hounds as well as Blaster Master arrived to help the civilians as well. The Eyeless hounds joined the fight and attempted to assist La Gravités team but were all defeated before further help could arrive. More powered individuals, both hero and villain, arrived at the scene to both fight and help evacuation efforts.

The Rain Man was defeated at approximately 13:10. He was killed by a villain named Achromus.
