Powerset Wise, What Comic Book Staples Are We Still Missing?

Teleportation Melee, ala Nightcrawler from the second Xmen movie. Something with lots of disorient, stun, knockdown. The new triple-port coming in the I24 set looks fun and tells me that something like that can be done and makes me want it all the more.

Elastic Defense... I know stretching is unlikely at best (most likely impossible with the current system) and that gives me a sad, but something like the landlord in Kung Fu Hustle would be cool. Wibbly, wobbly animations and having lots of avoiding attacks and/or reflecting the damage back at the attacker, or at his friends.

I'd second Forcefield armor...but then if they'd just give a full body version of the ARCHUD from the cyborgpack I could fake it quite happily w/ that aura and invulnerability *chuckles*

Also, I'd love a self multiply MM set, but once again...just give us the ability to edit our minions in the costume creator for all MM sets and there we go. Plus that way people aren't locked into a single 'attack' power, like energy blast or something. You can have dark blasting multipliers, whip wielding multipliers, dual pistoling multipliers...etc.

I think a large chunk of the "whats missing?" category can be fixed by more customization rather then actual power set creation.

Powersets like Crossbows, Eye Blasts, Fire Breath, Freeze Gun, Scythe can all be solved without the time/money waste of designing new sets (and let it be known I STRONGLY encourage new powersets for all ATs). Alternate animations as well as new weapon models can fix more holes faster and cheaper.

Let's take Beam Rifle for example, make some new animations, incorporate redraw into the animations, and you could have a workable Eye Blast.....use said animations to make a Fire Breath animation for Fire Blast powers. You could then tweak the original BR animations to make alternate animations for any number of Blast sets; Sonic, Ice, Fire, Dark, Energy......Heck, you could add non-blast sets to the mix Ice Control/Kinetic/Gravity rifle? Yes Please!....almost limitless.

Really I could go on and on, Crossbows out of Archery, Chest Blast out of Energy Blast, Scythe from Titan Weapons, Clowns/Carnies from Thugs (Gang War shows up in a tiny car....hehe!).

Let me say again for clarity, I do not want them to stop making new powersets. If anything those sets can use more animations to make even more creative character designs. But really what I think this game thrives on is the ability to simulate almost any superpower the user can think of within the limits of gameplay. This would only expand the posabilitites.

Yes, Titan Weapons definitely needs and scythe and I've no clue why it doesn't yet.

I thought of a couple that might be interesting:

Probability Control: In-game cheat codes! Not really, and I'm not sure how it could/would work from a programming angle, but something that would alter the percentages in the game- sort of buffs/debuffs, I guess, but with a certain degree of randomness to them, and with a small chance of getting "bad luck" that would adversely affect the player/group.

Emotion Control: We've already got things like Fear, Anger (Taunt), Soothe/Placate, how about adding some other emotions in- Love? Despair? Jealousy? etc. Again, largely consists of buffs/debuffs.

We're missing AGILE but regen at a decent pace while being able to take a punch but not a knife blade and still have a will of iron!

Light Blast
Light Manipulation
Earth Blast
Wind Blast
Thrown Weapons
Water Manipulation
Powered Armor (Primary and Secondary Sets)
Magnetism Control
Magnetism Blast
Radiation Manipulation
Radiation Melee
Shape Shift
Laser Beams
Crossbows

Also more alternate animations for powers to allow blasts to come from the chest, head, eyes, two hands, etc.
Duplicate Mastery (create duplicates of yourself)

I'm not sure they could manage it, but having the Beam Rifle blasts come from your eyes would be a decent way to manage an eye beam set. However, I think animation customization like that with a weapon set is probably not possible. Which is a pity.

Optic Blasts, that's what I'd like to see.
Weapon Throwing (boomerangs, knives, cards, etc)
Revamp superstrength, lol, not sure that it needs it but maybe new animations for the remainder of it
Secondary sets for some that are missing it - Sonic Manipulation comes to mind and so on
Sand Blast, Sand Control, Sand Manipulation (blaster secondary)

Boomerang attacks (Batarangs, Captain America's Shield, etc)
Getting tied up with Rope
Running through walls

Pheromone Control!

An actual Telepathy and Telekinesis powerset, and not "covers it all psionic" powerset.

Not sure if it was mentioned earlier, but throw Bio Blast (viruses, etc) onto the pile too.
