Is this a 5e or 6e build?
 
If 6e, that is a very powerful effect you just bought. -6 to all INT and INT based rolls affecting machinery or things with electrical wiring. -25" of running, flight, swimming, etc that are machine based. I'd allow you to increase temperature by a level or two if there was significant machinery around that you could cause to rev up or cause to overheat. A few points of damage from electrical shorts or machinery grabbing people, etc. Conditionally on machines that could produce smoke or steam and noise, -4 to all Sight and hearing Perception rolls. Obviously not all at once and completely random? I would build a chart for it and roll every few phases.

Given that it's not legal (without GM permission) to put Naked Advantages on STR into a MP or VPP because Naked Power Advantages are Special Powers, but Hand-to-Hand Attacks (HAs) are Standard Powers...
 
What if you built a series of small HAs with the Advantage(s) you want in a MP or VPP, and then add the STR at a prorated amount based on the Advantage(s) on the HAs, as explained on 6E2:102?
 
So if you have 50 STR, Reduced END (0 END; +1/2) and then:
 
Multipower 22 points
f - HA +2d6, AP (+1/4), 0 END (+1/2) - 17 Active Points
f - HA +2d6, Autofire (3 shots; +1/4), 0 END (+1) - 22 Active Point (I'd consider the +1/2 worth of Reduced END on the base 50 STR to then become Half END)
f - HA +2d6, AoE (2m Radius; +1/4), 0 END (+1/2) - 17 Active Points
etc.
 
Then you could do 10d6 AP punch at 0 END, or 3x 10d6 punches at 2 END each, or 10d6 AoE 2m Radius at 0 END, etc.

Maybe add that a Segment effectively equals one second.
 
I was going to say Presence Attack, but maybe that's something that could be added later.  Perhaps an Advance Terminology page, with stuff like that plus Stunned, Non-Combat, etc.
 
 

I'll admit, I was really hoping that RDJ would say that to Benedict Cumberbatch at some point in Infinity War or Endgame.

Odd. Wasn't there a horror movie where the killer uses a "portable" jackhammer through the movie?
 
Yes. I found it. It is named The Jackhammer Massacre or simply Jackhammer.

How "high tech" we going?
Laser chainsaw! Could also give him a ranged blast (or a limited range blast that is extending the length of the blade), the ability to block energy blasts, a tunneling effect wouldn't be out of the question.

A HKA Does Body NND Attack (defense is Damage Negation). When the blades are diamonds, they can cut into most anything.

One of the things that struck me when I used a chainsaw the first few times was that the saw really did pull me closer to the thing I was cutting if I had not placed it properly, once it has a target it digs into it.  I like the idea that it not only does you constant damage, it holds you there while it does it...
 
It is a horrid weapon and I do not think anyone would want to come close when they see it do damage, it is inherently a killing, lethal attack weapon, it should be scary to get close to and everyone should worry about being hit with it, if it does not do you damage right away then it should begin degrading your defences until it does do you damage...

As one of you already knows, my job gives us the week of July 4 off.  The youth group is, of course, off all summer.  We have played a _lot_ of Champions this week. 
 
Final game of the week (I called off the Sunday--the normal-- game because, well, I have other things to do, I'm afraid. ) 
 
Red Cloak's player:  Okay, I want to unleash my Cloud of Fear, but I want to make a presence attack out of it. 
 
Me:  sure; no problem.  Describe it for me. 
 
Red Cloak (per description):  [eyes begin to glow, clouds begin to circle overhead and the sun seems to dim just a little]
 
Red Cloak's player: I let the Dark Spirits slip just a little bit into me, and my voice becomes raspy and like rocks grinding as I start chanting the incantation for the cloud of fear.  The wind starts to pick up and the air feels electrified.  Slowly long ribbons of fog start to ooze out from beneath my cloak, and they bring the smell of burning brimstone... 
 
Two other players look at each other with clamped lips and big knowing eyes.  A third catches on and begins to giggle
 
Red Cloak's player:  It's a _spell_, you idiots!  A spell! 
 
At which point the entire table lost it. 
 
 

 
I love kids. 

I don't know how nasty you want to make him, but here are a few ideas.
 
Make the chainsaw drones a Constant penetrating HKA (they latch on and just keep cutting).
Give him a damage shield with the chainsaw that requires a to hit roll (as you hit him he hits you back).
Add variable advantage to the chainsaw or a multipower to switch out from penetrating x2, AP, Extra HKA, Reduced Negation, RKA with indirect (he releases it and it flies out to attack and then returns to his hand), etc.
 
Edit: To me, the electrical stuff is getting into Live Wire territory.

Chainsaw's update.
 
Tunneling, slowly as he cuts into walls, much like the tunneling brick trick.
 
+PRE, only to attack.
 
Deflection, No Range, Focus, Physical Special Effect only.
 
A few backup chainsaws (only 5 points per doubling).
 
Summon Chainsaw Drones.
 
A dislike for Texas Chainsaw Massacre series of movies. And Pieces, the movie. "I'm not from Texas, and I'm not a cannibal."
 
Reputation: "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is based upon him". It is false, but hey...

I don't know who these villains are, but am still willing to give out a few ideas. Chainsaws are always nasty and intimidating so it sounds cool he's getting an upgrade. How about a new high-tech chainsaw that fires buzzsaw blades out of a slot or somesuch? An electric field to the saw that acts as a NND attack in addition to its cutting/slashing attack? A specific presence attack as he raises the chainsaw above his head and loudly revs it up as he laughs maniacally? It can affect desolidified (i don'y know the guy so I dunno how or why, but my 1st instinct: he had it custom-cursed w/ magic in order to be able to kill the ghosts of his past victims for haunting him while he was in jail all this time *shrugs*). If there's any link only to these villains you speak up, please feel free to share. Learning about past Champions lore is always fun, plus bringing back old heroes/villains is always as well.

Whether Heal or Aid, either could work.  The Aid will fade at 5 points per turn, but it fades at the same time as your post-segment 12 recovery, so effectively you've "pre-recovered" 5 STUN from each subsequent recovery until you pay pay back the Aid roll.

Not wrong, so much as possibly not the power you're looking for.  The STUN gained from the Aid will fade at the rate of 5 points per Turn, so you may wake up just to pass out again.  You may want to use Healing STUN 3d6 (same point cost). You should probably add Trigger (+1/4) to that, since you can't activate it yourself if you're unconscious.
 
I'd suggest:  Emergency Adrenaline: Healing STUN 3d6 (30 Active Points), Trigger (Unconscious; +1/4); 1 Charge (-2), Only to Heal Self (-1), OIF (-1/2).  Real Cost:  8 points.  On average, this would heal back 10 STUN.
 
Note:  The Limited Power is actually part of the Trigger, so that Limitation wouldn't apply.  Also the Only Restores (etc.) is part and parcel of Healing.  And as Hugh pointed out, you can't spend END while you're unconscious (unless it comes out of an Endurance Reserve).

So, my wife and son-in-law and I went to see the Capitol Steps show today.  (Our older daughter was unable to go because of work, and out younger daughter wasn't interested in going.)  Lots of political parody songs - I'm sure they're loving Trump being president, if for no other reason than the great comedic material it gives them. Bought their latest CD ("The Lyin' Kings"), great stuff.
 
Anyway, during the show, the guy imitating Trump said, "It's 2019 - no President has ever had a higher numbered year, never been done before, it took me to do it."  And I leaned over to my wife and said, "At last, he told the truth!"
 
Cut to a few hours after the show, and we head out to dinner after picking up the kids.  Driving home afterward, I put the CD in and during the lead-in to the second song, the same guy says the same thing.  And my youngest (who had no idea what I had said during the show) says, "Oh my God, he finally told the truth!"  Guess there's no doubt she's my kid!

As a Canadian, I honor this day because of the ideals it expressed and strove to make manifest, that transformed the world. That all men are created equal. Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Government of the people, by the people, and for the people. It's no secret the United States of America has often fallen short of those ideals, as have we all. But in just aspiring as a country to make them real, America has been an inspiration to people everywhere, and helped ignite a fundamental shift in how people see their responsibility to their fellow human beings. Whatever pettiness we may be dealing with today, that's a legacy worth celebrating.

Because active point totals being equal, the damage will be lower for the AoE than the single-target attack.
 
For example, 60 points gets you a 12d6 Blast, or a 9d6 AoE 1m Blast.  (Well, you can go as high as 9 1/2 d6 AoE for 60 points, but you're still down 2 1/2 d6.)

It was Lord Liaden's journal idea.  I just expanded upon it.

I suggest you check out DramaScape (available on DriveThruRPG).  They have nicely detailed maps that you can print out in square tiles - most with 5-foot squares, hexes, as well as no overlay.  I know they have a warehouse, street scene, Japanese garden, hideout, sci-fi research lab, tavern, ... I have about 50 different sets, including two sets of 6x6 sci-fi floor/room tiles that work great for a create-your-own modular villain base. 
 
[Edited to add:  last I knew, they had some available for free, so you can get a feel for what they provide.]
 
I've also taken some floorplan image files and Google Maps screenshots, overlaid them with hex-grids, dropped them into Word documents, resized and printed them on card stock for assemble-yourself battle maps of part of the Boston Commons, a mansion, an apartment, a street scene, a yacht, a research ship, and a warehouse. 
 
Man, have I burned through a ton of toner for my color laser printer! 

Um, Penetrating doesn't mean that all damage goes through, but rather that a certain amount gets through.  So if the 4d6 rolled, say, 6-4-3-2, the 15 total would have bounced against your 20 rPD, but at least 5 BODY would get through (2 from the 6, and 1 each from the 4, 3, and 2).  On average, 4 BODY would have gotten through with each shot.  Still hurts a lot, but not instantly fatal.
 
It does sound like your GM is of the "See My Power and Tremble In Fear!" type.  You need some tactics for dealing with this.  For snipers - a Darkness field between you and him should help.  If you can justify it, a little Regeneration (at least 1 BODY per Turn would be optimum) might be in order.
