Superman-type build?
I have been looking online without much luck so I was hoping the community here could help me select an array of powers, specializations and ranks(an all around build) that closely mirrors the powers of superman, while still being viable.

Some things i've sussed out for myself.

I want to emphasize Might, Constitution so hell primarily tank, though I would not mind being able to switch between tank and DPS. Maybe some Reflexes for crit, and Recovery to keep Energy high.

I really want the eye lasers from Power Armor, but without alot of Ego, I don't imagine they'd be any use no matter how fun they are. If there's a way to make eye lasers useful with a Might-focused build i'd love to ehar it.

Thoughts and suggestions welcome. A full, complete, detailed build would be loved.

Looking for the basic flying brick build. I'd like the laser vision too but if it's too much a waste of a powerpoint(due to low ego) I can forgo it.

say heck to the game stats and min / maxing. Build a superman with the eyelasers, that makes it better by adding a ranged weapon to use to aggro targets from a distance.

Less worried about min maxing and more concerned about having a build that's viable for end-game content. I have a charactr I love. Absolute fave. Alpha. Built him as a werewolf using halloween costume peices. He looks great. All his powers fit his theme. Even got him the magic, animal, and arctic summons so he runs around with a pack of four wolves(Two black from Animal, 1 white pup from Artic, 1 white pup from Magic. Though the magic pup has a bothersome tendency to turn into a bat swarm.) fighting beside him. He has some human forms. And a "inbetween" form that looks kinda "Grey Hulk" using the humanish werewolf face.

As much fun as he is, he struggles in end game content he doesn't really fit any particular class role. At least, not as I understand them from other MMOs. He pulls his weight, but end-game group content is supposed to be about more than pulling your weight. I suspect it's because I invested so heavily in giving him a "cool wolf pack" when i should have rerouted those points to things to enhance his class role. The wolf pack is cool thematically, but they don't contribute nearly as much as you'd think four combat pets would.

Probably doesn't help that I never really settled on a class role for him. lol

So I want my superman-expy to both fit his concept, and still be able to do his job...whether it's tanking or DPS...when I try to join high end group content.

I would check the CO forums builds section, a lot of good help can be found there, and many different builds are posted.
