[P.N.N. — YOUR NEWS AT 11, Kings Row]

 

TRISH TAKANAWA (reporting live from Kings Row):

Good evening, Paragon City. This is Trish Takanawa, reporting from a still-evacuated block of Kings Row, where earlier today the radiation-powered vigilante known as Scarlet Atom brought down the notorious Skull lieutenant Toothbreaker Jones in a blistering, highly radioactive confrontation.

The incident began when Scarlet Atom infiltrated a Superadine production warehouse near the old rail junction. The building—already notorious for its toxic fumes—became the center of a violent conflict as Tootherbreaker Jones’ gang mobilized to defend their operation.

TRISH (back on scene, muted red glow in the background):

According to PPD and eyewitness drone footage, Scarlet Atom fought through three full waves of Skull enforcers, each group heavily enhanced by Superadine. The corridors of the factory glowed with unstable red light as the blaster unleashed controlled bursts of radiation to neutralize the mob.

 

Jones himself confronted Scarlet Atom near the chemical refining vats. Known for his chain-wrapped fists and habit of “collecting teeth from heroes,” the Skull lieutenant charged head-on—only to be met with a focused atomic compression burst that sent him crashing through two catwalks and into a vat railing.

Hazmat crews report the fight released measurable, though contained, energy signatures. The warehouse remains sealed under PPD and Hero Corps oversight while cleanup teams search for leftover Superadine stock and any potential contamination.

 

No civilian casualties were reported, though at least a dozen Skull operatives required medical treatment for radiation burns—none life-threatening.

Local residents, long tired of Skull presence in the area, are calling Scarlet Atom a hero tonight. Whether the vigilante will continue targeting the Superadine pipeline remains to be seen, but Kings Row is breathing a slightly less toxic sigh of relief.

 

For Paragon News Network, I’m Trish Takanawa, reminding you: if something glows and hisses, don’t touch it—call a hero.
