Something I noticed... whether Archetype or freeform, it seems each of the Champions can be remade... Defender is a Power Armor guy, Witchcraft is Sorcery, Ironclad is a Behemoth, Sapphire is Force, hell, even the villain Foxbat can arguably be seen as a Gadgeteer... except for one.
Kinetik.
Despite the presence of Superspeed and now new Lightspeed travel-powers, there's no real non-Travel powers available (that I can see, anyway) usable for a high-speed hero like Kinetik.
Anyone else a bit disappointed in this? I mean, the minute I saw the Lightspeed power, I just KNEW it would be awesome for such a character, only to find that, even if I wasn't a Silver, it didn't seem like I could make one...

I think that unarmed martial arts could work well with Superspeed/Lightspeed.

Kinetik uses might/unarmed powers in the game.
Everyone seems to want a superspeeder framework, but I really don't see it as being very interesting in a video game...

There's a few power frameworks that are "missing", but that you keep being reminded of by certain travel powers... Superspeed is arguably the most noticable one. Whenever a superhero has the advantage of speed, that tends to be the foundation of their entire fighting style, for obvious reasons.
But you can really only go so wild in a video game without breaking the balance of the whole thing! Especially since, with the freeform character building, you never really pick "a superpower". You pick various attacks and effects from multiple power sets. So superspeed would have to be an entire powerset, but that also means that any freeform character would be able to tap into it... And I really, really wouldn't want to face off against, say, a superspeed/might character, and whatever that would entail...
