Memorable Moments in Champions Online
1. 'Champions Online' is where I really got into the 'RP' part of MMORPG.
2. Realizing that the costume creator was the most in-depth one that I've ever seen.
3. Winning the dev-run costume contest and getting my character, Duratok Gorehowl, put into the game.
4. Going to the studio for a tour, and writing/recording the lines for Duratok.
5. Watching the Duratok sidekick trailer for the first time and showing it to my family.
6. Finding out that Duratok was going to be a boss in the Forum Malvanum encounter and being asked to write/VO his dialogue.
7. Getting the Duratok action figure.
8. I've made friends in this game that I've had for close to 10 years, and we've traveled from game to game with each other.
9. Coming back to the game years later and finding that it's still alive, and finding a new group of friends very quickly.

1. Moment: Going Steady Ceremony for Shortbus and Piffle ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmdl6fvatLU&t=8s )
2. Moment: way back in September 2016 when I asked Mad Vyking of Paragon Dawn and Dawn Radio if he would like to cover our Defenders of the Galaxy Costume Contests. ( http://www.paragondawn.com/dawnradio )
3. Costume: Anything made by Piffle@Nimashet (I might be biased)
4. Villain: Old Man Steve (the nemesis of Old Man Bobb).
5. Moment: Getting the defeat Eidolon 50 time perk.
6. Villain: Dr Destroyer in Resistance

Memorable Moments
Villains in Champions (in no particular order)
NPCs in Champions (in no particular order)
Costumes in Champions (gonna assume you mean complete themed sets?)
With "Villains" and "NPCs," do you mean just who's appeared in Champions Online, or from the whole IP?
9. NPC: Burt Jackson. He cracks me up.
8. Moment/Event: Sky Races !! My favorite event!
7. Moment/Event & Villains: Nemcon runs, great seeing everyone's nemesis (some are awesome serious, some just crack me up).
6. Villian: old Kevin Poe (the one with the vest and tie, new one just doesn't fit the part for me)
5. Moment/Event: Resistance (especially piloting the Mega Destroids)
4. Costumes? (close enough): all the dance emotes.
3. Villain: Mechanon (fun to blame him when we have maintenance, snr's or dc's)
2. Moment/Event & Costumes: Running our weekly costume contest. We get to see ALL the costumes and have fun doing it. I like to think it also brings us together as both a SG and as part of the overall game community.
1. (doesn't fit a category) The creative community, especially the costume crowd and the Dawn Radio peeps. Over the years, i have seen the most awesome costumes, especially by such creative costumers as @shortbus, @downside, @prototype and @glassrose to name a few, there are many (many!) others that impress me every week. As for the Dawn Radio crowd, they bring the game to life in ways that amaze me every time, from the songs of Spellbinder/Eben Brooks to the stories/skits/dramas of Mad Vyking and Shortbus (and others too numerous to name). They add a dimension to the game and make it ~alive~.
1. black fang
2. white wolf
that's pretty much it, since those are the only werewolf NPCs in the game
1. Black Talon
2. Ripper
3. Teleios
4. Therakiel
5. Valerian Scarlet
6. Kevin Poe
7. Those Qliphoth... things
8. That one guy sitting somewhere in a Purple Gang mission
9. Dr. Destroyer
10. My Nemesis?
My most memorable moments, though, to me personally, is when you guys brought out the first batch of Becomes, and when I discovered Power Replacers(when crafting was still a thing). When they were brought out, I was about... 11 years old? And when my friend told me that: "Dude, there are these new devices on the store that make you transform into something really cool", I needed to have one of them. Ever since then I've been collecting them as they have constantly brought me variety and fun among me and my friends(but buff them please). The same thing applies to power replacers, although those are long lost now.
Top Ten Moments:
1. Becoming best friends with my worst enemy. (Literally, we couldn't stand each other and now we've been friends for 7-8 years now.)
2. Becoming friends with so many other players.
3. The first character created and taking that first step...or flight... either or. lol.
4. Finally getting that one costume piece after hours of farming.
5. Getting the Loft Hideout and enjoying that Hot Tub.
6. Jumping off the highest building. (Seriously had people question my sanity after the 5th time.)
7. Getting the Skull Aura. (Cause having a skull float around you is like the best thing in life, jus sayin.)
8. When character creation got it's update. (Finally can wear specific gloves with a specific jacket.)
9. Helping a new player for the first time. It's a very rewarding feeling to help others.
10. Getting insulted because of a torn dress. (Sorry, but it was funny.)

Top 10 Moments in Champions Online
1. The passing of Sayako : she was my most popular RP character and when I decided to give her a proper sendoff, we had this RP event with her friends and a little ceremony in the Japanese gardens in Downtown, with the Defenders of the Galaxy and Dawn Radio, playing music before her departure to the other side. It was kind of emotional and bittersweet.
2. the Christmas Dev CC : Sayako was one of the winners as "spirit of Christmas" and all of her friends cheered when her name was announced, I kept the logs, it still makes me smile. Or as she said herself : "it wash the besht day evel !"
3. When I got my Lifetime subscription, only a few days after I started to play, and created my first freeforms.
4. The Multifarian Invasion : it's another RP event that we made with the folks of Dawn Radio, for one week, our Multifarian counterparts took over the radio while "we" were trapped on the other side.
5. Dawncon III : Dawncon is the in-game event made by Paragon Dawn during the week of SDCC. The third edition was two years ago and it was the first time I had the chance to speak on air with the rest of the group. I joined them as a DJ myself a few months later. Side note : Dawncon V is this week !
6. The first time I got a character to lv40, I guess... Can't remember when and who, though.
7. Stan Lee's passing and the many tributes in the game.
8. Everytime we have something new in the game, mostly missions. That makes me hope that we can still explore this game and bring fresh blood. Make it happen more often !

I know I'm reading into this but I'm interpreting the question as "Top 10 things Cryptic should put in an advertisement for Champions Online."
My thoughts are 'campy voice acting'
1) The intro cutscene for Fire and Ice
2) Anything with Cybermind
3) The faceoff between Destroyer and Shadow Destroyer in Resistance
4) The desert disaster where Gigaton tries to bury you under 100 tons of radioactive rubble.
5) Gravitar Rampage, gameplay
6) Kevin Poe's dialog in Purple Reign
7) Red Winter coming out and telling you they hacked the entire defense network
8) Andrithal boss fight
9) When Shadow Destroyer shows up in VB Apocalypse
10) When you confront Menton in Stronghold
My favorite scripted moment was probably watching Grond beating up NPCs in the Desert; as he hopped away, he intoned, "You as uninteresting as rival MMO. Grond leave now."

For me those moments were the costume contests. Was the first time I had ever seen something like that in an mmo and it blew me away. I remember there being one outside champs hq and me and my friend made child versions of Harmon and Shadow Destroyer and dropped into the middle of the cc for a battle for the playground. It was fun!
> 2. Villains in Champions
Nemesis (I love that we can make our own Nemesis...would love to see much more done with that) and Kevin Poe...so underrated and such a good background story to him.
> 3. NPCs in Champions
Bert Jackson cracks me up. XD
> 4. Costumes in Champions
I love alot of the 80s and 90s tights sets...that's the era of comics I grew up in. Love capes and add one that flow too.
My .02
1. Resistance... Loved that mission set for the first time. Realizing that to save one world I may well have doomed another.
2. My first time tanking... Well pinballing because Ego is not a good choice for that... and my block reflex sucks.
3. My first freeform character... They were such a barely functional mess, but they were mine.

8. Wiping out waves of players with a few friends when Onslaught first launched, I particularly enjoyed using Medusa.

9. Winning a costume contest with my main and getting free artwork from players

4. All the hours (And there were a lot.) spent playing AT PvP. (I still wish the queue requirements could be reduced heavily. They need it.)
5. when large kneepads finally dropped during the april fool's event
6. Actually being the reason the dab emote happened. (to a lot of people's dismay.)
7. Finding out that keybinds can be set up to have an emote with a targeted message, thus allowing me to dab on literally all of the haters.
8. Learning how to tank properly and deciding other people should be doing it too.
9. Successfully tanking my first Teleiosaurus. (I died right on the final bite from her. I still screamed with both joy and fear because I thought we lost because of it. But then she died right as I did.)
10. When people started calling me dad for some reason.

For example, I remember when it was first launching, watching (and playing) the demos at the PAX convention, and then going to the party Cryptic threw afterward:
I got to meet a lot of the folks working on it (I still think of the young lady whose voice was recorded saying 'Howdy pardner!' every time I go to Snake Gulch), and they even hired a few folks to stand around in costume. They issued us secret 'ids' and I still have mine.
Compared to that the 'annual' Chili Cook-off was a very low-key event. But there was still fun stories and good conversations. And Jack Emmert trying to show off his comic knowledge and his hair which he apparently sells from time to time.
I remember a Foxbat event shortly after launch where Cryptic actually hired people to PLAY Foxbat IN GAME. He would make quips at you while you were fighting him and you could make quips back. All told, I'm not sure it was special enough to repeat (and how many quips can you really trade in the middle of a fight anyway?), but it was certainly unique when it happened.
In game, I had and have wild experiences even now. I STILL find flying around viscerally awesome. And it wasn't too long ago that I happened to be in the Atomic Wasteland when the big bomb went off and the whole screen was bleached green and my first 'WTF' thought was quickly followed by a 'Oh *@($! One of those things went off!' I remember one fight in Destroyer's Factory where everyone was running on all gears, firing their powers in all directions and covering each other, so sometimes a robot would sneak up on you and get blown away by a friend or a bubble would be put up just in time... I thought 'this is EXACTLY like a comic book'.
Like others, I love Valerian Scarlet's taunts, and the awe of the apocalypse in Vibora Bay and the alien fallen angels still gets me (I know there's a jet, but I STILL refuse to leave until I go back in the time machine). Caliban, the Archmage who is likely to hang out in a sewer still makes me chuckle too. In my defense, I didn't buy Scarlet's pitch the very first time I did the arc, but I wasn't given an option to double-check her credentials. Vibora Bay as a whole feels more fleshed out and alive than a lot of the other areas; the gangs all have their style. Cemetiere is also a favourite of mine, and one of my characters claims he learned the dance step he does from a houngan who told him it was 'good juju'.
Different characters to me have different personalities and end up connecting with different scenes and parts of the game. I recently had a tempest AT who went to the Desert hazard and came to really identify with Gigaton in a way none of the others had. 'What if the only succor I had found with my own barely-controllable powers was Destroyer?... wouldn't I be a villain too?' And I guess that's part of what keeps drawing me back. There's a lot of fuel for stories lying around here. Sometimes jumbled together, sometimes needing to be sought out. But it's here...
I love the holoforce, psi, and glass materials and usually gobble up pieces that let me use them. Some of the weapons are fantastic and I long only for a 'present arms' emote that lets me hold one out for others to inspect so I don't have to mount them on my back. There are emotes I use to the degree that they've become part of the personality of the characters who use them (the aforementioned 'club dance' and 'at ease' for one, 'wall lean' and 'snap' for another, and so on). The travel powers themselves have a lot of character and I often wish there were more... different ways to fly, other kinds of tunneling, or perhaps even wholly different ways of getting to place to place. The vehicles are very nice in this wise... some of my characters are obsessed with the rocket horses from the Snake Gulch event, and some want huge flying tanks or the strange interstellar craft. It's unfortunate that auras don't carry over to any of the vehicles, though, because again for some of my character the aura is part of 'who they are', so they have to stay in covered vehicles.
Still lots of fun stuff and I'm looking forward to getting more from events that I haven't gotten yet! Yay!

OMG! How could I forget the rock vendor?! For weeks I was speculating about a whole rock society that the rock vendor came from. Or was he the last of his kind? Were we selling him back his long-lost rock comrades to rebuild his society or were we selling enemy rocks into eternal slavery? Were there rock empires hailing us as angels or demons? What if none of these were rocks at all but larval forms of something completely different? Or perhaps our minds were being manipulated to THINK they were all rocks...
Then I decided I was thinking too much about probably irrelevant details and went back to punching guys in the face.
Too many to count, but:
1. The starting crises and defeating them for the first time (Desert Crisis, Canadian Crisis, Kevin Poe).
2. The Resistance and Whiteout adventures, my favorites in the game overall.
3. First time through the Vibora Bay Apocalypse. Watching the Champions fall one by one and realizing it was coming down to just me...
4. Fighting the miniaturized Godzilla monster in the miniature cardboard town as part of a UNITY mission. Also going on board the Rikti Mothership and teaming up with the various Champions in some of these missions.
5. Monster Island Crisis and discovering Qwyjibo's origin as well as defeating Moreau and Rhino in Rhinoplasty for the first time.
6. First time through the Stronghold prison lair.
7. First time defeating each Cosmic in each role, especially the first time solo tanking each of them successfully.
8. First successful Teleios Ascendant run and then gradually improving with each run, learning the fights and bosses, coming to really enjoy what at first seemed incredibly tough.
9. Finding Grond's hidden stash of items from his life before he became Grond.
10. Dr. Destroyer's Robot Factory, love that lair so much. :-)

I'll leave the costume selections to others. Too many that I like, but will just say I most enjoy the classic hero/villain looks which Champions has aplenty.
1. Running a week long costume contest (qualifying rounds and a 'best' round) with a CTP as top prize.
2. Costume contests on CHQ steps with like 80+ people
3. Nemcon the first time.
4. Therakiel's Temple the first time.
5. Resistance the first time (in addition to the obvious highlights, getting told 'the qularr are already crazy' with the beaconizer perk)
6. Playing hide-and-seek in MC.
7. Before alerts, when people actually played world content - being able to find groups for lairs (or just running around doing missions) because there were people at the same story point you were.
8. Destroying a trashcan and having an NPC run up to me and saying something like 'thanks for taking out the trash'.
9. Back before the moonbase map had invisible walls put in around the moon surface, flying up to the sun, which was a small glowy ball.
10. Farming rat manimals for the stormrider CTP.
Villains
Some of these are based on voice stuff - memorable quotes are a plus.
1. Nemesis system. This is seriously underused.
2. Therakiel (In addition to a fun fight, his monologue at the start of the battle is pretty epic)
3. Shadow Destroyer (esp. NemCon cutscene, old VB apoc confrontation - seems to have changed here, and Resistance)
4. Clone Mayor
5. Red Winter (especially with the newer voice acting for the alert - should re-record Soviet Guard for Bunker Buster).
6. Vikorin
7. Clarence
8. Frosticus
9. Foxbat
10. Luther Black (The line 'The kings of edom are the destroyers of gods, and I... shall... be... one of them' is just perfectly voiced).
