Or for chemically enhanced super-soldiers that fought in WW2.
SO can we get a guide for it yet! Need help with my slots for my natural-non travel powered build!

When I play redside and I beat a hero, the contact tells me they where rescued by Blue Steel. I first thought SD/SS too. But MA/SD is a way to go, too.

That's what I'm working on too, but he's only L38 at the moment. When I'm done maybe I'll write up what I did with him. I'm kinda bad at guides though because I tend to go with my gut rather than min/max.
Please do post that guide.
It just so happens Im asking for advice about that pairing on another thread.
Even if its gut, I'm pretty sure if there are any glaring issues in it, folks like Werner, Broken Prey or some of the other heavies will not be able to help themselves (thank god for altruistic streaks) and post some advice on what they think you might consider doing differently and why.

I made a build that might fit a dev. It's expensive, but I'd sure play it. I'll post it here.

Thanks for the 411; I'll have to alter my Blue Steel NPC in my MA arc.
