Martial Arts as Super Strength

Works better with the punches though I'd prefer rage to Focus Chi for sure.
My MA/Regen Scrapper is supposed to be Super Strength, and with the new punch animations, especially Eagle's Claw, she is. But as stated above I'd much rather have Rage than Focus Chi, and Dragon's Tail makes me sad after experiencing Foot Stomp.

Storm Kick's gut punch is a quick punch that deals a lot of damage...which is good enough to consider it super strength.
Crane Kick screams super strength with it's knockback.
CAK has got some super strength flavor with the animation and the damage.
Dragon's Tail, however, seems to be a lot less super strength like.
Stick the Stupefy Chance for KB into Thunder Kick, and you'll feel pretty beefy as you routinely send them flying 
I have had one superstrong Martial Artist - a robot with "inchforce" mini railgun weights in her wrists and ankles that allow her to superjump and apply huge impulses over short distances. I slotted a few Kinetic Combat chance for knockdowns as well, and used Jump Kick, so combat was a constant parade of enemies getting knocked around.
What they should have done with DT is do that thing where your character is covered with enemies and then just throws them all off by extending the arms up and out, sending them all flying. You know, like they do in over-the-top fighting movies.

If you only read one guide this year, make it this one.

WARNING: I bold names.
That's a great idea.

That is brilliant. And it could be a small variation off of animations they already have (flex, build up, howl, etc lots of options to start from).

I can be found, outside of paragon city here.
Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
I would just like to know who plays Martial Arts as actual Super Strength?
