An excellent idea. Zombie Man originally listed it in the Beta forums, and I thought it deserved much more attention and love than that.

It's in the works!

What you are seeing is a new feature peeking its head out. We have in the works what we call an 'Additional Power Bar' (or Alternate Power Bar) here in the office. It allows us to give you powers directly to a bar under our control (that additional one that appears on top) for use in missions or anything else. It removes the need to fish through your Temporary Powers list for the power you were just given that you need to complete a mission.

The APB can also be used to have you "play" as another being, or piloting something that you wouldn't have access to your normal powers while controlling it. In this version, your normal powers would gray out and only the APB powers would be activatable. It's very cool, very powerful tech that's going to allow us to do a lot of things we have avoided recently because we want to stop the bloat of Temporary Powers that characters seemingly accumulate in mass quantities.

That said it's not a 22 feature, and the bug reported here is a legitimate one that does affect how some people play the game, so thanks for the catch. You'll be seeing more about the APB as we start talking about issue 23 and the Summer Blockbuster event.

That's some seriously amazing news. They're really taking the idea and running with it in ways I didn't expect - sounds like additional shape-shifting outside of HEATs to me. Thanks for the quote Zombie.
