You must become a villain and complete one of the patron arcs to unlock patron powers.
This is true for any AT that can obtain patron powers.
Where to now?

don'T attempt to read tHis mEssaGe, And believe Me, it is not a codE.
Your'll need to go bk to being a full villain at 40 and run through the PP arcs inorder to unlock the Patron Powers.
However u only need to complete the first part of the arc inorder to unlock them
(arc completes when u get a badge and respec)
So in other words, when I hit 41, I gotta start working on my tip mishes and when I become fully villian, then I can unlock the "Heat mastery"?
Here's another question: If I choose to remain a hero, what options will I have when I hit 41? What kind of epic powers?

All true. And even if you go hero again, you will still have access to Patron Powers forever on that character, because you've earned them.
Heat Mastery is not a Patron Power, it's a standard Ancillary Power Pool tht every 41+ character receives. You'd only have to worry abou Patron Powers if you want something like Soul Storm, Spirit Sharks, Arachnos Mace powers, etc.

Heat mastery will be available to you at lvl 41. It is an ancillary power pool, not a patron pool. So you won't need to switch alignments to get it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! That's all I needed to know. I thought I had to become a villian in order to get heat mastery. My demon/Thermo mastermind is a concept toon and I want heat mastery to be a part of that character.
My zombie/pain is another story. I want him to have the "mace mastery patron power set" Right now, he is a rogue, level 39. Guess I have to become a villian again to get that patron power huh? lol. Thanks guys!!!!
This question just popped into my head lol: Once I unlock one of the Patron powers, can I become fully hero and keep on leveling up as a hero to get the rest of those patron powers?

As a Rogue, you will still be able to run the Patron Arc and unlock the power. Just make sure you get the badge before you fully switch to Hero.|

On a side note, they can be unlocked at lvl 40. You don't have to be lvl 41. Lvl 41 just happens to be the next lvl you can choose a power. You can get your Patron badge at level 40, switch back to a Hero, and still have access to the Patron Powers when you reach lvl 41.

Yep. Also, once you have unlocked the Patron Pools, they are unlocked no matter what Alignment you switch to. You can respec after you become a Hero all you want and it will work fine. |

In short, the only thing stopping you from getting Patron Pools as a Hero or Vigilante is that you can't talk to the Contacts to start the arc. If you switch just long enough to do the arc, you can switch back any time after that.
Thanks everyone. Your information was quite helpful!! 
My mastermind is currently level 20 and I'm in Talos right now, all hero. My question is this: once I reach level 41, will the Patron powers be available to me or do I have to become a villian in order to have those options?
