Paragon City,

gem of the East Coast.

On the surface it embodies truth,

justice,

and the American way.

But look deeper and you’ll find a hotbed of corruption and evil.

Multiple factions of evildoers,

ranging from petty gangs to worldwide networks of mayhem seekers,

inhabit the city and perpetuate their deeds mostly unimpeded.

As Paragon City has an abundance of crime and evil,

it also has an abundance of power to combat evil,

a large array of “meta-humans” that fight for the city with all their might,

a fight that gives Paragon its nickname

“The City of Heroes”.

Jessica French became one of those heroes after an accident at a university lecture she was conducting.

While she was displaying her prototype for a machine that could potentially cure incontinence,

a fight between Synapse, a member of the Freedom Phalanx,

and a small band of Clockwork,

a robotic gang of mayhem seekers resulting in the machine overloading and blasting Jesseca with a massive amount of energy.

When she awoke,

she found that she was regrettably still incontinent,

but she was now endowed with the ability to channel energy into attacks and turn parts of her body to stone for protection.

That day she became Diapered Dandy

a fledgling hero in Paragon City

and began her journey into crime-fighting.

Shortly after she became a hero of the city,

Jesseca became involved with several other heroes,

Sue Radiance,

Half-Life Hannah,

Dementia’s Knight,

Ataris,

Severe, and Arson.

These heroes were later revealed to be The Freedom Phalanx Reserve

Rise Of The Phoenix is a band of heroes united to fight evil in the city.

After a battle with the leader of the Clockwork,

the Clockwork King’s giant robotic creation Babbage,

in which Hannah gave her life Jessica fell into a deep depression and regressed to an infantile state.

Several months later Hannah returned,

her body possessed by the dark magic of the Circle of Thorns, and went on a destructive rampage throughout the city.

Jesseca and her teammates fought against Hannah and fell under her onslaught,

with only Jesseca left to defeat her former friend and ally.

After Hannah was defeated it was revealed that the entire event had been part of a trial to prove that Jesseca had what was required to be a hero.

The man conducting the trial,

Ernesto Hess,

used Sister Psyche,

a member of The Freedom Phalanx,

to wipe Jesseca’s memory of the entire ordeal and send her on her way.
