Kind of a blasphemous idea

Just curious, spiffballing if you will,
what do you think about trying to simulate Superman with a scrapper?
Inv/MA (using punch animations).
Im just pondering whether that might be able to capture the I can punch something into the next universe aspect of Supes.
Supes can solo AVs so perhaps a scrapper as an alternative to being a Tank.
I'll probably try both and see which I like better, But do you think a scrapps resistance would be up to it if I can cap his defenses?
Would I have to gimp his damage output in order to make him as tough as he would need to be?
Do INV scrappers have a taunt aura in their secondary?
Just toying around with the best way to do Supes and thought perhaps go outside the Tanker Box and see if a scrap would be viable?
Your thoughts?

There's really no equivalent to Superman in this game at all. Some folks point to tankers but as you've noticed Superman does absurd amounts of damage and is virtually impossible to kill.

Inv has invincibility, which is a superb taunt aura. Super strength probably has the closest animations to what Superman would use, but a flying SS/Inv with laser eye beams has been done to death. I'm not trying to wreck your fun here, but I seen so many Superman clones and homages on Virtue that I've lost count. A buffed SS/Inv brute at the fury cap is probably the only way you'll get close to what you want in a Superman in this game (in terms of damage and being hard to kill).

If you want to make a MA/Inv, create your own original concept and go from there. IMO, you'll be happier with your toon.

Not to worry Fury,
It won't wreck my fun.
I'd imagine that for most people playing a supes char the fun comes from THEM having the Supes char, they don't really care about anyone else having a superman clone, just their own.
All that being said My supes clone was intended to be very tongue in cheek.
He is going to be one of my Bee characters on the Guardian server.
His origin ties in with that of my other Bees on guardian:

Paragon’s favorite super hero Mighty-Man found that even a super hero could be affected by the bizarre irradiated bee pollen syndrome affecting those who ate Clover Bee Honey. When news of the total product recall of Clover Bee products reached him, it was too late. He had already shrunk an inch! Mighty-Man sought the greatest scientific minds in Paragon City to see if they could reverse the effects, but nothing could stop the changes. Mighty-Man, Paragon City's most beloved hero was literally disappearing from view! Before long Mighty-Man had turned into a bee person! He was inconsolable at first, but Mighty-Man discovered that while his size and appearance were altered, his powers were not. Mighty-Man re-emerged under a new name, Mighty-Bee! Being the trooper that he is, Mighty-Bee has vowed not to let his small size interfere with his pledge to keep Paragon City safe. He is continuing his fight against crime......Just on a slightly smaller scale!

The bees were gathering their pollen near the Terra Volta Reactor in case you hadn't guessed.
So at any rate while he is definately intended to be a super clone I think he will be fun to play.

/inv IO'd to the teeth should get you the survivability that you are looking for. I just don't know if MA's punch animations will be the substitute for SS that you want. I love the some of the alternate animations for SS. Psi will be your Kryptonite, but with enough def that won't matter either.

Like someone said, there is no real clone of supes. I wanted a silver surfer type toon in a pb, but being held and squishy just didnt translate.

My ma/sr scrap, although not intended to be a spidey clone, years after hitting 50 does now have a pretty sweet spidey outfit, made for a halloween costume contest. Its fun to fight in it though as its totattly fitting.

I took a look at the MA animations and while neat I think you are right,
sigh, scrapps are more fun to play than tankers when you solo alot. the exception being Fire tanks which play like scrappers (at least to me).
