More superpowered news comes to you in the full article, right after the jump.

One of the fun things behind any superhero game is the ability to try out new super powers. Fortunately, NCsoft has chosen to reveal the complete Issue 12 powerset proliferation list for City of Heroes and City of Villains players.

NCsoft also explained the rationale why some archetypes received certain powers, while others didn’t. For example, it only made sense for an archetypes such as Controllers to receive the skill Plant Control. Likewise, Brutes with ice-based powers were found to have problems generating the Fury upon which they’re so dependent. Hence, NCsoft opted not to have ice-powered Brutes in Issue 12.
