You know. It's not a hero AT, but Brute's may be a better option for a Rorschach like character. He does have an underlying sense of fury in the face of criminals. What's better, if you really want to RP this, is that he may be best as a Brute in Going Rogue. I think it would be worth the wait.
The power sets sound appropriate to me. And fighting would be good to have a punch in there. But don't forget about Air Superiority as a good melee punch as well.

Kill 'em all. Let XP sort 'em out.
Rorschach is probably closer to a mace/wp brute imo.
Well, I've been enjoying the threads I started on similar topics, so here's another one!
I've been creating and leveling a series of homage characters, as many of you may know. One of the more difficult to make has been one based on Rorschach/the Question. As detective-types, these characters don't really do a lot of fighting, but it seemed Scrapper was an appropriate AT. However, I've gone in a different direction, and I thought it might be interesting to see how others might make it work.
What I did is this: Rorschach/Question are ordinary people, who make use of weapons of opportunity. One of the few power sets that seems to allow this is War Mace. I thought, I'll make several costumes in which the mace will be something different (ie. Baseball Bat on one, Shovel on another, Wrench on another). That way, I can swap to different weapons, making it look like weapons of opportunity. For his defensive set, Willpower was the most appropriate. This combination works for me because I prefer playing Tanks, even though it's technically too "tough" for a Rorschach/Question character. It's easily rationalized though.
The problem I've had, however, has been the build. I originally included the Fighting Pool, since I might want him to fight with his hands periodically. I also included Stamina since I absolutely HATE fighting with endurance rather than the enemies. I also considered putting in Super Leaping, but in the end elected to go with purchasable travel powers (eg. Day Jobs). Finally, an aspect of the character is that he's intimidating, so I considered the Presence pool. The only thing with this is I HATE the animal growls. I can only hope for better animations in the future, but for now, I think I'd rather leave it out.
My question to you all is, how would you build the character? Do you agree with my choice to make him a Tanker? How would you build the Tanker? How would you build him as something else?
Just curious, and just for fun.
