I'm not sure how this would work ingame, but I love your descriptions.
You're trying to go for the idea of a character who can't control their powers, but when their friends are threatened they erupt to the surface? This is cool for emaotional impact in a story, but could lead to some odd behaviour in game.
You've probably seen (or been) a Brute chasing Fury, running to the next group to get beaten on to keep that meter high. Imagine someone doing this on a team but trying to get their allies beaten up all the time. Aggroing extra groups and herding them onto teammates with a damage aura, so their teammates draw aggro and take damage. It could get annoying pretty quick.

AKA, as described, it will do NOTHING if solo. Another important aspect, how this could possibly fit a villain character. Why would a villain become that enraged over it's "allies"? (Yes, I know some villains are loyal, but ALL of them, are not.)|

- Don't tell me what I am wearing
- Don't turn me into a Dragon Ball character
- How can energy be "muscular"?
- What is a "spectrum of energy"?
To put it simply: This seems like an idea that has merit, with an implementation that I would fight against tooth-and-nail so that it never sees life in-game. Also, I don't see this game ever having player controlled robotic power suits. Especially if they are larger than a Huge character.
P.S. Take a moment to read what you have written a second time. Grammar and syntax are pretty atrocious, and I found myself being so bewildered by what you were trying to get across that I skipped entire paragraphs. Obviously, that doesn't help you express your idea properly.

- like Doctor Manhattan, or Radiant, I was thinking about the Illusionist phantoms actually. I think the flaming flowing hair was misunderstood I really meant like flaming aura like hair that flowed upward; not gold and spiky.
Vengeance
(think the villains can get angry at a fallen friend or we wouldn't have the vengeance power pool)
The loss of a comrade enrages the team. When a teammate is defeated in combat, activate this power to grant you and your teammates a bonus to Accuracy, Damage and Defense to all attacks. A Vengeful team has no fear, and Vengeance protects you and your Teammates from Fear effects. It also gives you and your team great resistance to Sleep, Hold, Disorient, Immobilize, Confuse, Taunt, Placate and Knockback. This power does not stack with multiple castings.
Vengeance cannot target defeated pets. Vengeance is unique in that its buffs will not apply to a character who already has a Vengeance buff active from a different character. (Its heal is not a buff and always applies.) You can, however, have multiple Vengeance buffs trigger simultaneously - if a defeated team mate is Recalled and multiple players have Vengeance queued to trigger, all of the multiple Vengeance buffs will stack. This is often used in Lord Recluse's Strike Force and Statesman's Task Force to provide a suitable buff to damage to take out multiple concurrent Heroes/AVs.

Also, it wouldn't make a lick of sense to transform into a character wearing ripped jeans unless the original costume has jeans too. So... in effect, you are also dictating that, or forcing a character to be more illogical than necessary.
- Well... You didn't, but when you were describing the hair, I had a clear picture of Goku. It had nothing to do with your use of "super."
- Yes, Doc Manhattan was an energy being, I suppose. But if I wanted to describe his physical appearance to someone who knew nothing about him, I wouldn't even think to call him a "muscular Spectrum of energy." That makes no sense. Likewise, using that to describe your idea doesn't actually translate into anything but a question mark.
- Thanks for the definition. It was precisely because I KNEW the definition that I was confused. I think I am capable of using Wikipedia. Are you saying that the character would look like a muscular rainbow? I hope not... and that doesn't make a heckuva lotta sense either.
- That would be one power that "forces" a certain reasoning. Most other powers do not tell your character what it is thinking and/or feeling.

thnx for your advice I'll revised my idea. back to the drawing board
I would like to see character Super Transformation powerset like in most comics, cartoons, or anime (Hulk, transformers, The Phoenix from X-Men..etc).
) going upward, while wearing ripped jeans (like Hulk). For a female character the body size and height will increase, flowing hair effect while your character is wearing an Amazon-like ripped costume.
Super Transformation Powerset (Brute, Tanker, scrapper)
You have uncontrollable powers that causes you to transform irregularly unto a super powered being, while transformed you are unstoppable, Strong, and Resistance to all forms of damage. But those who are your allies are frighten of you and are afraid to approach you in this transcended metamorphosis, but when you’re on the brink of loosing their life your full powers are released.
Dormant powers - you have a sleeping hidden ability within you when under pressure and taking half damage you scream causing all nearby enemies to be knocked back and being slightly resistance to some damage for a short time.Toggle Self +Res(All but Psionics), Knock back.

No bullet, Fire, Energy, Cold, or Psionic attack can keep you from your enemies who seeks your life. Toggle Self + Res(All damage when you take large amount of damage). Note:This Damage resistance doesn't last long, and once fully healed this Buff began to deactivate. When soloing you are only resistance to some lethal/smashing except Psionic.
Partial Metamorphosis - Your powers are seeping out and you have barely any control over who you are. When your in danger your imperfect Transformation has increased your Defenses, and your To hit Buff increased. Auto Self + DEF (All but Psionics), +To-Hit. NOTE: this power doesn’t work with Super Metamorphosis, or Critical Transformation when activated.

Note: once half of your health is restored this power deactivates.
Critical Transformation - You have exploded with rage; almost losing your life in battle. Your anger has caused you to transform uncontrollably. Friends and foes, flee from your presence, even the toughest enemy will lower there defense, but you ignore all of your allies efforts to calm you down and is unable to accept any assistance from them. Very Long Toggle: PBAoE, Foe -DEF(All), -Res(All) + DMG (Extreme)
+ Fear -Res(To Ally, Heal, Disorient, Sleep, Hold, Immobilize, Knockback, DEF Buffs). Note: once half of your health is restored this power activates, and you can not recieve any debuff protection, healing, or defense buffs from any ally during this state.
Ally Assurance - Your ally has taking great damage, and you’re enraged. You partial transform, but your friend have assured you that they are ok, thus taming the wild beast within you, but increased your Regenerative ability dramatically. You received a huge healing bonus as long as the selected ally’s health stays green and not in danger status. Recharge: Long. Toggle: Self + Regen(HIGH). Note: If selected ally dies you lose large regenerative bonus, also this power can’t not be used with Critical Transformation or Super Metamorphosis.
Super Metamorphosis - You explode with rage and have awaken your true powers and transformed into a super fighting machine refusing to watch another ally fall. You Knocking back all enemies, causing superior damage as they cower in fear. Your extremely resistance to all forms of damage. The longer your allies stay in danger zone the longer this ability last. Recharge Very Long: Toggle Self +DEF(All DMG), +Res(Disorient, Hold, Sleep, Immobilize, Repel, Knockback, DEF Debuff), Knock back, + Disorient. Note: you cannot used this ability when Partial Metamorphosis, or Critical Transformation is activated.
Protective Escape -when you are surrounded your confidence as a protector has increased, because of your new found powers have awaken. You create a bubble like-barrier that is extremely resistance cold, fire, energy, lethal, Psionics, and smashing damage also repelling enemies; giving your allies time to find cover to self heal, while inside of this protective shield your allies buffs, and heals do not work as well as attacks, and your enemies regenerative ability increases the longer your allies stay under this temporary protection . Recharge: Long. Toggle PBAoE, Team + Res(All DMG + Debuffs), -Range, -To-Hit, Repel. Note: once allies have reached 50% health; protective buffs deactivates, as well as , yours once all allies have reached the amount health required.
Transcendent Emergence - You have fallen in battle and crossed over to the other side, but you hear the cry of your comrades to save them from the netherworld, so you arise from your defeat in your super transformation state when your allies are in danger of dying. Half of your health is restored with debt protection causing your enemies to shake in fear upon your ascension from the dead giving your allies new hope. You will revive with most of your hit points and half your endurance and be protected from experience debt for 20 seconds. Additionally, for 90 seconds, your damage and accuracy will be improved, then for another 45 seconds, your damage and accuracy will be diminished. Recharge Very long: Toggle: PBAoE Team +Res(Confuse, Fear, Holds, Taunts, Imobilzation, sleep, slow), +Self Rez(when allies have fallen below half the health mark) +Fear. Note: Player will not receive Defensive buff to all damage like Super Metamorphosis as well as be able to use it while this power is activated. I had some criticism about this set so I'm going to revise it making it instead a power that increase your damage resistance, and defense when your ally life is low, but instead yours for very short period of time.
Partial Transformation Animation
This what I envision on how the transformations would look like here’s a few.
Partial Metamorphosis - you have a strange white aura around your body and flowing hair that moves like flames, same as for a female character.
Super Transformation Animation
Super Human Metamorphosis: Your character is a pure energy in human from like (Doctor Manhattan) , as your body levitate 1 feet off the ground (like the Archanos’s Mu) you’re hair is flowing like flaming aura (not Dragonball
