I can just imagine the howls that would be heard from the general playerbase if this customization were made available to the MA when it currently can't be done for any player MM charater out there.

Shrug, I think it would be a good trial to see if it would be feasible for player designed MMs to exist. Implement it in the AE, see what combinations would be overpowered, then when you have it all balanced out, let the players create their own.

I was just thinking of a new way to spice up custom groups - add a new option for a custom mm.
Steps in the creation process:
1. Select the primary power set ( Merc, Necro, Ninja, Robotics, Thugs ) - this would impact only the powers that the MM uses himself, and would have no impact on the summoned minions.
2. Select the seconday power set.
3. Select the minions. This screen would have 6 dropdowns, allowing you to select 3 "level 1" minions, 2 "level 2", and 1 "level 3". You can select these mobs from existing canon mobs or from pre-created custom mobs.
4. Design the MM costume
Just like regular MM minions, the level 1 mobs would be 2 levels below the MMs level, the level 2 would be -1 level, and the top level minion would be the same level.
The devs would have to implement logic to perhaps cap the difficulty level of the minions to prevent an extreme/extreme killing machine.
There would also need to be a new standard summoning animation for the mobs. I was thinking something along the lines of the Rikti portal or perhaps just a misty "fade-into-view".
Something like this would really spice up missions, although it could be something of a nightmare figuring out which of the mobs is the boss.
