You want fun, you are playing the wrong side you need to play a villain...

I find Energy Blast/Energy Manipulation for blasters a hoot. The amount of KB is always fun and very comic booky. Just learn to use the KB against walls or from above to avoid aggro from teammates. 
It depends what you find fun. I could say Earth/ or Mind/ but if you like melee, they won't be fun. Heroside, for me, it's pretty much "anything but Illusion."
Ill/TA Controller. It's a freakin' one-man (or woman, or robot, or furry, or alien, or...) light show. Fun to play, fun to watch, and actually useful.
I find my Plant/Psi Assault Dom a great deal of fun.
Kat/Regen made me love Scrappers again.
My Mind/FF is perenially fun and adds a depth of variety to most encounters.
My Ill/Rad was fun and fast to level but got shelved months ago, got 'boring'.
VEATs are great. You can take them in many directions and teams love you for the buffs.
Questions about the game, either side? /t @Neuronia or @Neuronium, with your queries!

I'm having a lot of fun with my Dark Melee/Shield Scrapper. It's got resist, defense, tohit debuffs, a self-heal and two killer damage buffs.

Fire/fire Scrapper does crazy damage and is a lot of fun to play.
Dark Melee/Shields Scrapper for what Demobot said
Archery/Mental Manipulation blasterRain of Arrows +Psychic Shockwave=win
fire/Mental Manipulation blaster fire ball and Blaze are great and and Psychic Shockwave and Drain Psyche are a lot of fun too.
And a lot others

You know what's not fun these days? Mercs MMs. That's not fun; don't play one. And if you do, don't pair it with poison.
Seriously. Go thugs if you want to be uber like everyone else. Go bots if you want good but not so blatantly the same. Ninjas or Necro if you want melee. But there's no good reason to troll around with five pets carrying BB pellet guns.
I think you first need to answer the question, what do you find fun on villain side?
I personally love defenders and controllers, just about any combination, they all play slightly differently, they're all loads of fun.
I also like some tanks, mainly because I tend to play them similarly to my Controllers, the exception being using taunt etc as crowd control rather than holds/stuns/confuses.

Why /duel is a bad idea

[/ QUOTE ]Construct a character primarily from power pools for the first dozen levels or so. Specifically, you need to have mostly utility powers that only benefit other people.
A good complement powerset would be empathy.

Currently entertaining me is elec/elec blaster, and fire/shield scrapper.
The blaster, I tend to shout out his attacks, anime-style. Occasionally I affect a very bad japanese accent.
www.paragonwiki.com is a great source of information for this game.

I adore /storm. My current favorite is an ice/storm controller, although I hear plant/storm and earth/storm are also excedingly fun.
Anything you enjoy playing is fun. For me, lately, that's been:
Dark Melee, Willpower, Earth Control, Sonic Resonance, Claws, Invulnerability, Ninjitsu, and PBs and I have Fire Blast, Storm Summoning, Super Strength, and Electric Armor waiting in the wings.
...I forgot what experience means.
Arch/NRG Blaster. hands down! Funnest to 50 I have had yet.
