Just a point to make here.
Simply by virtue of being a hero or villain, you are no longer "just a normal guy"
A "normal person" would be a civilian who does not get involved in interdimensional wars, doesn't intervene when a supervillain robs a bank, doesn't make an attempt to take over the world or kidnap scientists. Those are things heroes and villains do, not "normal people".
The simple act of deciding to get involved in these things puts you outside the norm already anyway. A completely natural Katana/SR scrapper is not a normal person, because a normal person doesn't grab a sword and start fighting crime.
The only normal people in this game are the civilians that wander around. If you really want to be a normal person, put a suit on in the costume creator and wander around randomly with Walk toggled on. If you do anything else, you're not a "normal" person.

That would still allow you to withstand numerous gunshots and still be walking around. Pretty unrealistic to live past one or two shotgun blasts to the chest!

LOL I think he meant you would be engaging in that ultimate act of normality, laying around dead and immobile.

Oh I know, just that it would take an inhuman amount of buckshot to bring you down to begin with. So, I suppose, pick your realism. |

Depends where they hit you, now, doesn't it? Nothing in this game sans the pre-alpha demo video does anything specific to a region of the body |

And a Hellion is a stupid street thug, so he's not gonna be the best shot in the world. If you managed to wander over to, say, Founder's Falls on your normal human, you'd end up getting sniped by some Cre{#`%${%&`+'${`%&NO CARRIER

I like the ninja run and costume.
Now give us what we really want. Thongs!!!!

The civilians that wander around are 100% impervious. Not just Invulnerable (like us Heroes and Villains can be), but completely and totally incapable of taking damage.|

But that doesn't change the fact that if you want to play a normal human character with no superpowers, some powersets fit that archetype better than others. You said yourself that most of the concepts of a non-superpowered human controller fit better into a tech or science origin (i.e. a normal dude using advanced technology). Wouldn't it be nice to have a control set that fit the 'just a normal guy' archetype without all that mental gymnastics? |
Also, see Daria Morgendorffer. 0.o
www.paragonwiki.com is a great source of information for this game.

Just saying.
To the OP. The MA booster wasn't bad. There are infact some options to be used in the MA Booster, that can go well in using with a superhero outfit.
I just rolled up a hero (Fire/Regen), who is a mix of Psylocke/Scorpion (of Mortal Kombat)...so the new Robe in the MA pack goes really nice for her superhero outfit

Can we please get more powers and costumes more related to Super Heroes? Maybe the ability to change my fire/kin into living fire form.
NO
