I'll mainly use this power on two or three insect-themed characters to simulate them shrinking. I know we can't go below 4', but even that reduction, when coupled with toggling on a stealth power, will help me RP being insect-sized.
I also have a character who is a gamer whose uncle got him an AE account. Now he will be able to enter the AE building as Tim, and enter his missions as Captain Astonishing!
I'm sure I'll find other uses for this, but those are teh two that come immediately to mind.
And to me, while this doesn't affect the character in any way other than asthetics, I think this is more than enough of a "power" to make up for a lack of Mystic Fortune/Mission Teleporter type ability.
I predict this will be the best selling super booster yet.

Things I'll definitely use it for:
<ul type="square">[*]My illusion controller will change body types to simulate his being a disembodied consciousness which possesses different people for a few days at a time and uses their bodies to facilitate his crimefighting endeavors. Right now, all five costume slots are the same, but with different auras. No more![*]My Bucky homage may be split into male and female versions, explained away as two characters with similar abilities fighting crime under the same name. Or he may get a full-on sex change to keep him (her) extra safe from the generic bat. Not that I think he's in any real danger, but you never know.[*]My invulnerability tanker will get taller when she changes from her civilian identity to her metal form. I've already been playing with scales to make her look stronger when she armors up (wider shoulders, a slightly heavier build, etc.); this will just be a logical extension.[*]My stone tank will finally have a normal-sized "human" form.[/list]And that's just my plans for characters I've already got.
FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.
They blinded me with science!
This is great! I have a few toons that will benefit directly as a result of this, especially since I've tabled them for sooo long because thematically I wasn't able to change their sizes effectually; now this is available!
I do like the lab coat and goggle sets! I can definitely use the mad scientist head/hair to replace the balding haired one I have already; WIN! 
I also have a few characters that'll benefit from this because they're rerolls of another character and..
Well, I'm sure anyone who's made a reroll of one of their much-loved characters has encountered the aggravation that is not-quite-getting-the-height-right.
The Elysienne; Magical controller
Silent Sickle; Natural scrapper
And many more.
Aenigma Rebis: "Actually, Ely's more like Jean Grey. Only... smart."
This will be really good for my Martian Manhunter themed character. But being a shapeshifter, I already used vastly different costumes to simulate shapeshifting, but now with the ability to have a female variant...
I also had a character idea for a guy who used animal mutagens based on different situations. I regained interested after using the super serum CCE.

Well, one of my first characters, and oldest existing character was always designed as a shape shifting demon. She originally started out with a very tall 'sexy devil' form, and it was my intention to give her a normal sized human disguise and a really big scary demon form... Imagine my surprise when I got to level 20 and excitedly rushed off to ICON only to find you can't change size when you change costume...
I've got a number of power armor concepts that would have gone great with the whole normal/huge body type change. And of course, I can always use the new science lab type costume pieces. In particular I have a Steampunk Inventor character who's on hold right now waiting for the ability to be a morally grey character once i15 comes out... New lab coats and goggles would be great.
SG Mate: Cien, what the hell is this Rookery thing?
RadDidIt: (interjecting) Dude. It's the Rookery.
SG Mate: Yeah, but what IS it?
RadDidIt: Silliness Incarnate.
Yay, DJ Facade can actually have the full range of illusionary appearance intended!
Aside from that really other than that the only use I see right now for characters is Kai having a mini/chibi form ala mini goddesses or Lumiere from Kiddy Grade when she has to split her attention :7
I just got a chance to log on to the test server and went to SC Icon..I guess I missed out on the sneak peak/free trial for the science booster set

- lvl 50 ma/sr scrapper
-Ace O' Diamonds lvl 50 fire/rad controller
and waaaay to many other alts to mention right now
Yep, it's over. I just tried again myself. All of the changes I made last night are still there, but I can't make any new ones with the science pack features. So the Test copy of Doctor Roswell has a female costume slot for... apparently a while.
FUN FACT: That burst of light when you level up is actually the effectiveness escaping from your enhancements all at once.
This is fan-freaking-tastic.
This will surely be the first "booster" pack that I buy. Because seriously. Shapeshifting PB/WS! Size changing! Little kids piloting giant robots! Shazam! And the list goes on!

It only is activated for characters that were transfered over before the patch that happened yesterday.
EDIT: It looks like they removed the ability to make the changes and also both the regular and ccemotes, however the costume pieces are still there and my character that I played with yesterday still has the different body types/heights in his slots
I logged onto a character I brought over there a year ago.

Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.
