The Champions Online site has just launched a brand new section devoted to the various power sets that will be an integral part of character creation and gameplay. Right now only the Electricity power set is on show but the other powers will be revealed "over the next few days". The Electricity page contains twelve different powers, with full information on their requirements and effects. Positively shocking stuff.
Once the rest of the power sets are detailed, it will be time for fans to flip through the pages, meticulously weighing up the advantages of each particular power. Or, they could just choose whichever seems coolest. Or, they could hit up the open beta (which really isn't too far away now) and go nuts trying them all.

God I want to play this game so hard. I was a huge Champions PnP gamer back in the day, and this looks like they actually took the time to do it right.

Bal you will not be disappointed is all I can say...this truly feels like you are playing the PnP game, if they would allow the option for a GM, it would be perfect.

definitely going to try out the open beta if I can get in. Might try and make an Infamous clone with only electricity powers acrobatic movement and some melee skills, with 12 powers in the electricity line it looks like I may just be able to do that.

I appreciate that they are posting powersets. That will make those of us who applied to the beta over a year ago (and missed the magazine giveaway) and never got invited to check out what power is what.
I do wish I was in the beta. Some nice fellow said he had an extra key for me later this week when the magazine ones arrive.. here is hoping that comes through. Otherwise I will just keep waiting a few more weeks. They said they will Fileplanet it (like every game it seems) so that will be easy enough to grab a key there.
