Paragon City, the City of Heroes setting place, and the Rogue Isles, the City of Villains locale, are full of organizations that players must confront. They range from local street gangs, such as the Skulls and the Hellions, to vast world-threatening organizations, such as the Council (formerly the 5th Column), Nemesis, Crey, the Rikti, and the Circle of Thorns.
Many groups are present in both games. Heroes deal with them as villains to capture. Villains deal with them as rival organizations. On the other hand, some enemy groups are unique to one game or the other.

Primary organization in the Rogue Islands. Led by Lord Recluse, an organization of high military operations and use of magical items. **NOTICE** Organization primarily falls under City of Villains rather than City of Heroes but there are Arachnos in City of Heroes as well.Banished Pantheon
Significant members:
- Adamastor (Giant Monster)
The true undead of Paragon City (as opposed to the Vazilok). Animated corpses, shamans, mask spirits, and the powerful Totems make up this mid-level group.Carnival of Shadow
Known Leader:
A strange and mystical group of carnival performers. Very high level enemies.Circle of Thorns
Known Leaders:
- Baron Zoria
- Baphomet
- Envoy of Shadow
The most prevalent of villain groups in Paragon City, the circle can be encountered from level 1 all the way through level 50. At lower levels mostly mages and human guards are encountered, but at higher levels various summoned demons and behemoths are found among the circle as well.
Mystics seen around the city chanting and conducting arcane rituals, often involving unwilling subjects. The circle controls a vast city named Oranbega, buried deep beneath Paragon City.Clockwork
Known Leader:
Significant Members:
- Babbage (Giant Monster)
- Paladin (Giant Monster)
Windup robots found all over the lower level zones of Paragon City as well as Cap Au Diable in the Rogue Isles. Most often seen scrounging for materials and working to build more Clockwork. All are telekinetically controlled extensions of their leader, the Clockwork King. The king himself is a powerful cyborg, with little more than his brain left in a massive clockwork robot. The Clockwork in the Rogue Isles are believed to be too far away for control by the Clockwork King, but the power controlling this offshoot of the Clockwork is unknown to most people.The Council
Known Leaders:
- The Center (main)
- Maestro
- Arakhn
- Requiem (same as Requiem in Fifth Column)
- Nosferatu (same as Nosferatu in Fifth Column)
- Vandal (same as Vandal in Fifth Column)
A villain group that traces its root back to Mussolini. This is a group with conquest goals, and the ability to use a wide variety of methods to achieve these goals. Though mostly a science based group, some of its operations cross over into the realm of the mystical. The forces of The Council range from human troops, to large numbers of robots, to dark energy wielding soldiers called Galaxies (merged with the Nictus), to the pseudo-vampiric Equinox and pseudo-lycanthropic Eclipse. The Council is another group with a wide level range, stretching from level 1 to well above level 40.
:Nosferatu and Vandal have been confirmed to still be in the game and are leaders of the Council. This is true due the switch of all Fifth Column missions to Council missions, therefore confirming the current existence of the above archvillains. Vandal can be found through the Citadel Task Force.Crey
Known Leaders:
Crey is a mega-corporation whose billboards can be seen all over Paragon City. Publicly, they are a benevolent organization, working to use science to better mankind. Privately, they are the epitome of the ruthless corporation taken to super-hero world extremes. Crey wields its own security force, often seen around the higher level zones "patrolling" for trouble. But the security forces are more likely to go after the city's large vigilante (hero) population than to stop actual crime.Devouring Earth
Known Leaders:
- Hamidon
- Mending Mitochondria
- Mitochondria Antibodies
- Mitochondria Electrolytes
- Terra
