This Idea occured to me afer reading the info on the 'Jail Bird' badge, a super villain who controlled insects apparently, so heres the idea:

Insect Control
1) Silk Worms (foe immobilise, toxic DoT)
2) Paralictic Wasps (foe hold, toxic DoT)
3) Worm Hive (AoE immobilise, toxic/Crushing DoT)
4) Swarm (foe fear, -accuracy, -preception)
5) Fire Ants (AoE slow, toxic/lethal DoT)
6) Wasp Nest (AoE hold, Toxic DoT)
7) Termites (PBAoE enemy slow, -Def)
8) Scarabs (Cone Sleep, lethal/toxic DoT)
9) Rhino Beetle (summon Beetle)
[powers: Charge, Ram, bite, stinger, scarabs. resist: +Smashing, +lethal, +energy, +neg energy, -Fire, -Cold, -Toxic]

Insect Assault
1) Parasites (ranged toxic DoT)
2) Leeches (melee lethal DoT, -Def)
3) Parasite swarm (Cone Toxic DoT)
4) Sickness Bug (ranged toxic DoT, slow, -def, -res cold, toxic, psi)
5) Aim (+dam, +Acc)
6) Mosquitos (melee Lethal/Toxic DoT, -def)
7) Bee Hive (AoE lethal/Toxic DoT)
8) Centipedes (Melee Cone, Lethal/Toxic DoT)
9) Pirasite Barrage (Ranged Toxic DoT, knockback, -def)

Most of these powers can have animations recycled from Webs and Devouring earth. I hope you like the Idea, by the way, the rhino beetle is a huge version of the insect as a pet

Your thaughts, comments, questions and replacements are welcomed and appreciated

(note: these powersets are only available for villains, the reason why is because controlling insects isnt hero like, and would make them look disgusting compared to others)

Ant Man's a hero, and he can control insects.

I don't see a real reason this couldn't be for heroes too.

Yay a relatively original idea - nicely done. I like the sound/theme of both of these powersets.

Balance-wise I think the secondary is a bit Toxic-heavy, but otherwise it looks great. The primary looks good too, though I'm not sure why it needs two area slows unless one of them is supposed to be a toggle somewhat like Hot Feet (could look cool, having a swarm of insects swirling around you - maybe replace Fire Ants with Locusts, a PBAE toggle that does -spd, -rchg, and some minor lethal/toxic damage), then change Termites to be a placeable slowing patch like Quicksand (that would work for keeping the -def on it too - the termites could be chewing up the ground and making it difficult terrain to move through like Quicksand).

Nice ideas, definitely /signed.
