Overview
Bloody Bay is the first of the four PvP Zones. Players of any level can enter, and will be set to combat level 25 while in the zone. This zone is a PvP zone in which heroes may fight villains and villains against heroes.
History
Long ago, slavers coming to the Americas used the tiny town of Oceanview as a sort of “sorting pen.” In 1817, one group of slaves, perhaps encouraged by spirits of the long-lost Mu founders, rose up in rebellion. A massive battle was waged, and it is said the bay ran red with blood. The island was forever after called “Bloody Bay.” Its dark past was eventually forgotten by all but those who visited the sacred cemeteries in the Upland Woods, and by the 1900s, Bloody Bay prospered.
Then came Shiva, the destroyer of worlds.
In 1989, shards of a potentially world-shattering meteor destroyed in the 1960s rained down on the island. Besides the damage caused by the impact and radiation, residents reported a far more sinister phenomenon - the dead rose. But these were no mere zombies. The dead seemed to be infected by some sort of alien life-form. Corpses rose from the earth surrounded by bluish protoplasm, and attacked any living thing they crossed.
The island was quickly evacuated and abandoned to the horrific “Shivans” by Arachnos.
Recently, it was discovered that the asteroids that crashed on Bloody Bay have valuable properties desired by both Longbow and Arachnos. Teams from both organizations have established bases on the island to study the samples, but gathering fragments is incredibly difficult thanks to the presence of the monstrous Shivans and other scavengers.

Exploration Badges
Spanky Rabinowitz' cousin Charlie 'Big Buck' Rabinowitz owned Big Bucks Casino. It is said much of Spanky's campaign money came from the take here.
The Shiva Shard fed on the dead here, causing the trees to grow larger and stronger around the old graveyard.
In this building the first of Cape Canaveral's scientists was infected and transformed by the Shiva Shard, eventually causing him to implode.
The shards must be vibrating the very bones of the graves. You are almost sure you can hear scratching and clawing from the inside of the mausoleums.
Though this beach looks peaceful, creatures resembling the Neo-Shivans have been sighted here. Best to proceed with caution.
Hero Burgers was once the best fast-food restaurant in Oceanview, before the island was evacuated and abandoned.
The Shiva fragments that crashed here created little collateral damage. This refinery is completely intact around the impact zone.
Graveyards litter the Bay, but Shivans and Banished Pantheon alike keep mourners from visiting their passed loved ones.

Arachnos is more likely to pound you into dust than let you near one of their fliers. And your license is no good in Paragon City, it seems.
Enemy Groups
PvP Zone Powers
The following temporary powers may affect your character while outdoors in the Bloody Bay zone. Completing missions will either raise you and your allies' powers or lower the enemies' powers.

Notes
- This zone was added to the game for Heroes and Villains in Issue 6.
- All characters are "adjusted" to combat level 25 in this zone, no matter what their level is outsize the zone. If a player is higher than threat level 25, then that player is auto-exemplared down to level 25 and may lose additional powers he or she has gained since level 25. If lower than level 25, the player is automatically sidekicked up to level 25.
