I took down an Archvillain in City of Heroes, singlehanded. As a Mind Control/Force Fields Controller. While half the friggin' roof was on fire.
Yes, he was technically downgraded to Elite Boss status, but that just meant he didn't quite regenerate faster than my low damage capability could harm him, and he still had the goddamn Purple Triangles of Doom[footnote]A marker showing when Archvillains are all-but-immune to hard and soft controls and debuffs. Like, say, almost the entire arsenal of a Mind/FF Controller.[/footnote].
Admittedly, after I took him down, I immediately got curb-stompted by the giant Malta mech that showed up out of nowhere, but it was still a moment of amazing victory.
