Spirit of Halloween Raid: Midnight Report

I'm reporting to our loyal Sentinel readers from Salem, Massachusetts where our heroes are fighting against the Spirit of Halloween. After several days of strange occurrences all over the world, where typical Halloween paraphernalia somehow changed into strange egg and Easter themed objects, the trail has lead to this time-honored hub of legends of witchcraft and the occult. Heroes work together once more, splatting pumpkins while defending the world from supernatural threats.

Who needs the Winchesters, right? Not when you have Slayer B.A.S., Captain Picard, and Mary Poppins on the scene.

Not only has an astounding number of heroes collected to fight these irate gourds, but some old names have dusted off their capes and come out of retirement. These older heroes now have the ability to get together and reminisce over days gone by with a new feature on the BADGE communication system.

Recorded under the heading of Trophies, heroes now have a record of more of the notable events they participate in. After all the head injuries many of the heroes have received during their Missions, Patrols, RAIDS, KOTM Events, and Battles, it is probably a very good thing to help jog the old memory. 

The heroes are also freshly off a weekend of their own frivolity, being able to go Trick-or-treating with one another. It seems that following the recent discovery of the Spirit of Halloween's possession of E.B, an alien, Mythic being who embodies the holiday prowess of the Easter Bunny, the Spirit of Halloween has stepped in to challenge the heroes directly once more. Last year, he attempted a similar distraction during League War Haunted Heroes. 

(Sometimes I wonder if these villainous types will ever learn...)

As always, BADGE scientists, squints, and bean-counters are on sight collecting valuable data on our heroes efforts. After several hours, it appears that the junior heroes are having a more effective time with their opponent than the more seasoned veterans. The younger challengers have diminished their opponents strength by 28% where the big-budget teams are only at 16%. Here are some notable combatants in each event:
