I only want to bring up this point. The base damage for the highest power for EM is Total Focus at 9.8889 not avalible till lvl 38. Superstrength has Knockout Blow with a base damage of 9.8889 as well. This is avalible at lvl 20. Now I suppose an issue can be made about different types of damage for those 2 powers (Total Focus has 2.7778 Damage in Smashing, and 7.1111 in Energy Damage. Knockout Blow has all it's damage in smashing.) The choice at least for me is simple, more power at 20. Instead of waiting for the same base at 38. JMO

Not quite. Energy Transfer is more damaging than both and is available at lvl 35.
Plus you have the Build Up vs Rage issue to consider. Build Up is more dmg and more to-hit bonus, but over a much shorter period of time.
So technically if you're only looking at one-time burst damage, Energy Melee has two attacks that are more powerful than anything in Superstrength. And then on top of that you have damage type to consider (energy vs smashing).

Damn How did I miss Energy Transfer that was a huge oversite. Time to reroll my Tanker. LOL
