I think what made [@Bounce] so good as a CO-GM was actually running an event for players so I'd hope any replacement CO-GMs would bring a similar collab energy, given so far this game has survived the sophomore slump these games usually have.

For what it's worth, here's what I'd sketched up.
[hider=Secret Nuclear Codes]
[s][h3]New York Mini-Event[/h3]
[list][*] Arthur (now with a bounty on his head from Atlantis) visits New York for swim team regionals.
[*] Orm makes an offering to Karaku, which results in [url=https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Fire_Trolls]Fire Trolls[/url] attacking New York to get to Arthur, presenting one threat while the destruction they cause create another opportunity for people to jump in (saving people from burning buildings, collapsing L-trains, etc).
[*] Gives our New York/Metropolis characters opportunity to react and/or connect with each other.[/list][/s]
[h3]Event: Starro[/h3]
[list][*] I'd caveat this with the idea that people can ignore, react, respond, or participate as they see fit. Using Marvel's [i]Inferno[/i] as an example, while primarily an X-Men/New Mutants plot, the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man and Captain America all participated, while Thor, Hulk, and Dr. Strange were all notably absent.
[*] Starro is a pretty easy event given the notion of spreading around the globe, even if the storytelling were to focus on one or just a few areas. I think most everybody understands the premise of the starfish attaching themselves to people.
[*] We'd just need to figure where to have Starro itself centered, but we could probably do that based on what response we generate. Otherwise, people wanting to write on a smaller scale could just react/rescue people "taken" around them, people wanting a more collaborate experience could participate in missions to gather information or resources, and the threat poses challenges from street level to Superman so there's something for everyone.[/list]
[h3]Apocalypse Event[/h3]
[list][*] Same caveat about ignore or participate as desired.
[*] The Four Horsemen of Apocalypse emerge, carving a path of destruction that challenges heroes.
[*] Could split the Horsemen up to multiple locations (Metropolis, New York, Gotham, etc)
[*] Could add Clan Akkaba if needed to spread the wealth.
[*] Leads up to battle with the Big A.[/list]
[h3]Mini Event: The Brood[/h3]
[list][*] Lots of parallels to Starro, so if we did the one I'd want to space out this one. The stakes are slightly higher here, particularly if someone writes being infected but the Brood are always presented as less a global menace and more a localized one.
[*] Could be good plot to drop on a random city to generate some activity.[/list]
