I want to see a real mad scientist power set that summons strange lab grown creatures that have feet growing on their heads and eyes on their tails. Maybe not EXACTLY like that but that kind of strange.
A Dr. Moreau powerset?
I would like whips and cuffs plz
A Book melee set...
You hit your foes with a big book... maybe a dictionary...

Now I know this is completely impossible and probably has balance issues up the wazoo but rather than just a powerset but a whole new type of AT with only ONE powerset (reasons explained later) basically a shapeshifting powerset.
Now everything about the AT would be middle of the road, medium damage modifier (probably using scrapper for melee and ranged damage along with calculating things like Tough/Weave, Leadership pools etc.), medium HP and would completely lack an inherent ability, as to not be able to outshine any other AT in one specific area. The powerset level listing is something thrown together quickly for demonstration purposes and not intended to be a balanced suggestion.
1) Personal attack.
1) First form slot.
2) Stealth/Hide (represents hiding by shapeshifting).
6) Mez Protection Toggle (offers half the mez protection of Scrapper/Tanker etc. toggles).
8) Mild regen effect power (Shifting your body to heal wounds faster, about the same level as Health + Fast Healing).
12) Second form slot.
18) Utility power (probably a confuse or placate).
26) Third form slot.
32) Fourth form slot form clickie.
As you defeat foes each form slot can be assigned a specific mob form, the tougher the form, the more defeats required. 5 for a minion, 10 for a lt and 15 for a boss (numbers made up on the spot for example purposes only). The fourth slot would be an acception, any defeated mob can be put it that slot from minion to AVs and even GMs however it only has a 1 minute duration with a long recharge.
Each form (except the 4th) is a mutally exclusive toggle, like Granite in stone armor, you can't run other armors while it's running, you couldn't run more than one slot at a time. Each toggle could be slotted for acc/dam/end/defense/resistance. Selecting the 'form' for each slot would be a drop down menu of the available forms and could be altered at will by going into the enhancement screen, the characters model would be replaced ala the Halloween costume temp powers.
So your first slot could be a Damned Hellion boss with access to the powers they have.
So the shapeshifter would have access Flares, Fireball, Fire breath, Scorch, Incinerate and Combustion with a mild resistance to fire, effecitively turning them into a squishy fire/fire blaster but without defiance or the blaster ranged damage modifier. The enhancements slotting into the toggle would affect the powers used (so slotting 2 acc, 2 dam, 2 end would increase the accuracy of all the forms powers, increase the damage of all the forms powers and decrease the endurance cost of all the forms powers).
The second slot could be a Freakshow tank and decide to 3 slot it for Resistance giving them around 50% resistance to Smashing/Lethal, 60% resistance to cold but still suffer the -30% energy resistance. They would also have access to the powers. Sawblade, Tank Grenade, Cybernetic hammers, Handclap, Dull Pain and Revive.
With the 4th clickie, you would gain all the powers (including the Purple Triangles and AV/GM level resistances) however the damage modifier would still be in effect, you couldn't HIT as hard as a real AV/GM but you can do everything else just as well, so you'd regen like an AV etc. You can do things like slapping an AV with a mag 100 Soul Storm hold, this is why it only lasts a minute (explanation that it would be far too taxing for the Shapeshifter to maintain such a powerful form) along with an endurance crash after the 1 minute duration and would have the same standard recharge as say Unstoppable.
By now it should be obvious why it's a one power set AT, the primary powerset, with the forms, can function as both a primary AND a secondary.
Anyway...that's just my incredibly crazy idea and I know it's so unlikely as to I'd have to personally wander over to the Paragon Studios office and pay all 50 devs $500k each for them to even consider it (there's 50 of em...so $25 million in total).

I'd like to see a Jackie Chan melee set. There's got to be a better name for it than that, but I want a set where you pull random objects out (similar to what propel does) and beat people with them. in various fashions. It would be ridiculous to animate, and cause tons of redraw, but it would be fun.
Or maybe if they ever do a street fighting set, they could add a single power that does this.

All magic beams, I kinda wish I had that kinda firepower on my blaster, energy isn't cutting it in pure awesomeness anymore after five years.

Once you take out the anime exaggerations, she basically just used power burst 3 times, and sniper blast in the long-range video.

More advanced weaponry for blaster types, and different emanation points. Shoulder mounted missile launchers, railgun sniper weapons, using CC weapons as opposed to bayonets.
I want the beam weapon the drones use. The police ones that send the bad guy straight to jail. Still want the xp, but I want that beam weapon...
Kinetic Staff: Basically, a staff that does smashing damage for some attacks, but includes a couple of knockbacks as well. If I slam it into the ground, it's like a SS Footstomp attack. Get the drift?
And in the name of all that is holy: Please give us a basic fist-fighting set to go hand-in-hand with Willpower. PLEASE?! Something that isn't all kicks?! And something that isn't Super Strength?!
That is all.
