I approve!

not against the idea, but Woodsman??
Surely there is someone else that can be used.

I mean, we know a lot about some of the namesake characters, why not flesh out some of the others?

...because who would choose someone named Woodsman to be their patron?
He sounds like Megaman boss...
Does this mean I get to beat them up and steal their powers?
Because that's how villains do it

The Surviving 8 were the logical heroes to choose from, but then you have a question of power THEME issues. So who/what do we have to choose from?
- Statesman - We can't access LR on Villains so... no for "equality" reasons.
- Sister Psyche - Mind/FF (probably not all that different from options set out in Numina)
- Manticore - Used him because he's natural and has a bow... which no other EPP has.
- Positron - Radiation would be cool (I even started with him in place of Woodsman), but there are few melee powers and NO defensive powers yet.
- Numina - Used to fill the psi hole in tanks/scrappers/blasters' epics.
- Citadel - Power blast/mastery is basically already available in the APPs.
- Back Alley Brawler - Offers very little variety for melee ATs.
- Synapse - Used him to fill the electric hole in tanks/scrappers/controllers.
So yeah... that's why Woodsman (plus I love the character, he's SO underused).

I know (hope) that Heroic PPPs are going to be coming down the line at some point, so I thought it would be fun to toss around a few ideas on what they might look like. Interestingly enough, there are a few complications that villains don't have to deal with.
First of all, Arachnos has such a clear chain of command, the Patrons make perfect sense being who they are. Heroes though... who exactly should the four be? Random picks from the Surviving Eight? What about power themes? What thematic voids are present in the APPs that a Patron Pool might fill? Below are my suggestions (yes, one of them is Woodsman), but what do YOU think they would be? What do you think of the ones presented?
Synapse

Controllers

Woodsman
