  1. You probably want to avoid costume altering transformations to these kind of powers, but maybe if there's a choice over what kind of alteration manifested that could work. Oddly, Mind could be the place for this. We have this from Lord Recluse's background:

    "His back, through Stefan's focused manipulation of his dark power, began developing a hump which later was used to house eight massive arachnid-like arms. Upon further enhancement, the arms were outfitted with super-strong steel claws covering the flesh and bone "arms" that protruded from this hump, made from an alloy called proto-steel."

     

    And that kind of mental focusing could also be why Tyrant grows so massive in his final confrontation, and might possibly explain Stheno's snake-like form too. On the other hand, there's clearly other alternatives since Statesman and Hero 1 never manifested such drastic physical manipulations themselves. Some sort of "state-of-matter" powers, that you will yourself into perhaps? Mind could have enchanments like a temporary pure energy form; pure dark form; and even just pure physical form, for those that didn't want to be concerned with how their character looked.

  2. Cryptic own the Champions IP so no cost there, and they've stated in the past that it shares the same servers/infrastructure as STO, so again not costing them to keep the lights running. So the better question is if/when STO shutters how long will it be before CO follows?

  3. Arguably even most "supernatural" entites could be considered natural due to their powers just being a part of their nature. See the supernatural wizard entry from "A Dictionary of Fairies: Hobgoblins, Brownies, Bogies, and Other Supernatural Creatures" by Katharine Mary Briggs:

    Supernatural wizards. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish the true supernatural wizard from the wizard who has acquired his skill, however unusual, from practical experience and training and some inborn aptitude. The wizards of the sidh, such, for instance, as Bresil, the druid who laid the spell of diminishment on Etain, may be counted as minor supernatural wizards, and so may the giant wizards who have their lives hidden away in a separable soul, such as the wizard giant in ‘The Battle of the Birds’; but the true supernatural wizard is he who started as a god. Gwydion (Gwydion fab Dôn) is an example of this; so is Bran the Blessed.

  4. There's Arachnos hidden bases in Atlas and New Overbrook (Faultline) so the idea that our Rogue Island villains and Paragon City heroes can't be in confrontation easily is somewhat odd. So hazard zones, or high risk areas, should be no problem for villains to come and go as they please.
