With superheroes, combat is all about superior powers. Describe for us some of the powers available to the player.

We’ve broken from the traditional Strength/Dexterity/Intelligence statistics model of character creation. In City of Heroes, a character is entirely defined by the powers chosen. If you want to be a stealthy martial arts expert, you might choose Super Reflexes, Martial Arts and Invisibility as your first few Power Sets. Within a Power Set, there are four to nine powers, all of which complement each other. For example, in Martial Arts, you might choose Crane Kick for laying out an opponent or Dragon’s Tail when you’re surrounded - all of your powers will be useful in different situations, and the action changes fast, so you’ve got to think on your feet.
