Good example of what people thought being a tank would be in this game is...
Superman - Obvious tank, but strength too powerful to fit into Coh. And on a sidenote I believe the only reason anyone picked up the super strength power set is because they were thinking of characters like Superman and the Hulk.
What people are stuck with is an example of...
Luke Cage - Perfect example of current CoH style tank, extremely invulnerable, but weak damage, and not too cool a character, lol.
I have to say I'd like to believe this is a comic book mmo but when I pass by on the street and see a "The HuIk" hitting a equal level skull minion with all he's got to no real avail, i sigh.
What happened to picking up cars or ripping out lamp posts or picking up enemies over your head and flinging them into a concrete wall?
