We are about to play a new superhero session, and iM stuck... I need some ideas... Iv run into a roadblock on ideas... we have 5 players... 1 is a brick, 1 blaster, 2 mental guys and myself.... If anyone could post some ideas for a super to maybe jumpstart my brain that would be great.
I know the typical answer of play what you like, but Im very open minded and can play just about anything, I just need some ideas to run with...
Any help would be great...
Thank you in advance...

If you feel the team is well rounded in powers and abilities already you can look at the odd things that rarely get played. Maybe you have an old character concept that was just too off to fit in before?

Anybody have skills? Gadgeteer inventor type or someone who is good at investigations?
Martial artist perhaps?

one of the mental guys is using a skill like mind reading.. his combat value is limited but will sure be useful for gathereing info and such...
the other mental is a mind blast type... the blast typical blaster...
Never done a 400 point toon with 150 disadvantages.. Im thinking I can make a good toon with that many points... Iv thought about a mar. artist type, but Iv never rolled one before... I thinking they also of dex...
someone told me maybe a good hand to hand type, maybe something like a adv. silverback monkey type... thought it was interesting, but again no idea how to start it out...
Also never done a speedster...
Iv always been the brick, but im tring to think outside of the box

Perhaps if you started out with the background and then worked out the powers from that.
Do you want a sneaky character who uses magic?
Perhaps a brooding dark hero like Batman or Spawn.
A plucky wisecracking martial artist.
A grizzled mercenary who uses super-technology.
An all round good guy hero like Superman or Captain America?
Or perhaps some kind of supernatural creature such as Faerie or a Vampire?
Are there any heroes or characters in fiction that appeal to you?

Definitely either a martial artist or a speedster. These are the most obviously open niches.
Martial artist covers a lot of ground, from Batman to Iron Fist, including all kinds of weapons masters and gadgeteers. (Green Arrow/Hawkeye types can be neat).
Alternatively, you could have a character who is basically an MA, but has a "weird" power. How about a teleporter (team transport specialist)? Desolidification? Shrinking?
A teleporter would be useful for most teams. I'd consider that.
The character in my avatar is Captain Atom.

Re: I need some suggestions
A martial artist and/or skill based character isn't represented by any of the other players(this would include gadgeteer types). Maybe another Energy Projector type or a shapeshifter ???

How about a shape shifter. Some of my all time favorite characters are shape shifters. They can really mess with a group. Admittedly, my shape shifters were villains, but.... you could fit that right into the toon concept.

Does anyone have any examples of some good MA/shapeshifters/Battlesuit type of toon????

Huh? The simplest way is to just buy all his powers as a Multi-power with OIHID and OIF (power armor).

By the rules it's illegal to use OIHID and OIF on the same Powers. Let's not confuse the new players by suggesting "GM permission" builds when simpler legal builds exist.
