Including the Power Pools as well as Patron/Epic Pools in customization is a must if they are going to do this right.

Well most of the hero Epic pool powers are also found in primary and secondary sets they already annouced will be customizable. So it shouldn't be too much work to get them working eventually.

The villain Patron powers are another matter.

For the pool powers, at first glance I don't see much worth customizing in:

Fitness
Leadership
Presence
Teleportation

That leaves just:

Concealment
Fighting
Flight
Leaping
Medicine
Speed

I can easily see them addressing the pool powers, Epics and Patrons in a patch after i16, but I don't expect them any time before that.

Actually I think that Teleportation lends itself quite easily to customizable colors, particle effects and animations. I have often thought that the column of smoke effect from Steamy Mist would make a fantastic Telelportation effect. Some of the Costume change emotes would also do the trick. Imagine spinning yourself into nothingness in one place only to reappear in another. Perhaps something for the Stone Tankers, getting swallowed up by the earth only to burst from the ground directly under your foe.
