Speaking from a tanks perspective, How many ordinary people without kryptonite can superman beat? The whole world / worlds probably? If you spend 300+ mil on iOs and can't solo +4/8 s/l or even nrg fire cold and psy you have gone wrong. Guess what on mine toxic can kill me - give one of the billions on the planet a kryptonite gun Super is gone.
It's working as intended and there is hugh level content that challenges incarnate, I know because we do it just about every night on excelsior, come see if you wish.
You don't fight ordinary people in this game. Everyone you fight is extraordinary in some way...You never have a battle with 200 lvl 0 citizens...
As I said, there are MANY problems that Superman can't solve alone, and he needs friends for...And honestly there is only 1 Superman in the DC Universe [well, except for Superboy, Jonathan, Kal-el (who's back), Cyborg Superman, Supergirl, Krypto (okay there isn't really just one)], but the idea still stands that in a city of 80K Superheroes, we can't all be Superman (or Statesman either)...We can get really close, but the game should still have limits for ALL heroes that preclude them from soloing +4/8 with AV's.
