Issue 10
Recruitment (Watch) - Captain Catastrophe is not having a good week. In the last episode, his show was taken over by his older brother, Major Catastrophe, who spent his time talking about life in the Rogue Isles.

But when asked how to properly recruit someone into a team, the Captain turns to one of his supergroup members to help answer that question, only to find himself snared by technical and legal troubles. Will his nightmares ever end? And will he find someone who will help him answer that troublesome question? Meanwhile, Major Catastrophe lets his unwilling partner in on his master plan. And a new character makes an appearance!

Supergroup Bases (Part 1) (Part 2) - The feud between Captain Catastrophe and his older brother Major Catastrophe escalates in this two-part episode that was originally too big to run intact on YouTube!

And what does it have to do with how supergroup bases are created?

Issue 14
Appearances (Watch) - Captain Catastrophe is BACK! And none too soon as things are still a little hectic after the bombshell announcement made by his brother. While ghosts and monsters haunt Paragon City during its annual Halloween Event, the good Captain answers a very timely question about how heroes can change their appearances in Paragon City. And the Captain has a very special trick that was recently made available for low-level heroes to use. It is something that he'll have to take advantage of, because something smells funky in Atlas Park other than the zombies.
Issue 15
Influence (Watch) - It's been a while, but Paragon City's team-killer is BACK on YouTube with more helpful information about life as a registered hero. This time around, Captain Catastrophe answers a key question about the unique form of currency for heroes and heroines. And he gets an even bigger surprise at the end of the video!

But there are still questions to be asked, and one of them involves a place that's been on everyone's mind for the past year. PRAETORIA! What is it? Where is it? Why should anyone care? And can the Captain clue us in on it?
