As a new Mastermind I'll see:
Winter horde : Henchmen exist in the game and so do powers.
So nothing to create ;). (https://cityofheroes.fandom.com/wiki/Winter_Horde)
We could also have henchmen like the Hellfrost (https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/paragon/images/2/25/Circle_Of_Thorns_Hellfrost_01.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20060708131752) but why not also be able to choose from all the ice henchmen in the game.
That mixed with the cold control of the Controller/Dominator/blaster would make a nice mastermind.
Plants : this is the same as nothing to create. Just use the Devouring Earth (https://cityofheroes.fandom.com/wiki/Devouring_Earth). But there as they are numerous the player could have the choice to choose his henchmen. Then the powers would always be the same it would just be the skin that changes. So we could have 6 henchmen who are the same mushroom, the same tree or whatever we want BUT with the powers that go with his level. For example the first 3 henchmen would have powers of this level (no matter what their skin is), the next two would be the same and the boss would be the same.
That way each day would have its own mastermind. Mixed with poison/Thorny Assault/Plant Control/Nature affinity it would make a great mastermind.
Animals : Well that would be a modification...I think it's a sad choice.
3 wolves, 2 lionesses and a giant ice wolf. 5 animals are normal and the sixth doesn't even exist... This character deserves a large choice of animals like the mastermind plants proposed above. Those that already exist but also gorillas, hyenas, bears, ravens (I confess that a mastermind with only ravens as henchmen would be a dream lol), birds in short full of animals and be able to choose as he wishes.
Self-Replication : As already proposed by another player that would be really cool 🙂 (https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Self-Replication)
Sandmen : Like Marvel's character, there we could create sandmen (http://snikt-and-bamf.wifeo.com/images/h/hom/Homme-Sable-l.jpg) We would also need to create a secondary line of powers to go with it.
So we could make humanoid forms (http://www.teslogos.com/figurine_homme_de_sable_spiderman.html).
After the line could be duplicated to make a mastermind watermen ;).
Fairies : When I say Fairies I mean fairy/legendary creatures present in the game.
For example: Coralax, Red caps, snakes, Fir bolg, spectral pirates, Ghosts, Trolls, Dannan Tuatha, Hydra, Wailers and Werewolves.
There are also the little fart fairies you can have in the game. You can also use these to create a mastermind.
Extraterrestrials : Why not use the game again using what's in it?
For example: Shivans, Lanaruu, Rularuu, Rikti etc...
To finish the "garbage mastermind" lol.
Just use the Slag Golems…
