Wonderman/Genis-Vell AT?

[Gobbledygook]

Hey all, I'm coming back from about a year break and have an idea for a character I want to make. As stated in the title he would be an homage to Wonderman and Genis-Vell/Mar-Vell. I will not be playing blueside, except for the occasional TF's. Which AT would you pick, and why?

I would like to have energy blasts of some sort, as LBE just doesn't cut it IMHO. But I also need to be able to get in and mix it up in melee.

I was thinking of doing a PB, but open to suggestions.

Oldstyle Human form Peacebringer would probably be the closest analogue to Mar-Vell; plenty of Energy Blasts and nice meaty punchwallops with EnergyFX and knockback; plus inherent flight. Although in terms of performance it's not going to be setting any records.

 

Energy/Energy Blaster is the other obvious option. Or even a Energy Blast + Forcefield Corruptor with the Energy Mastery Epic Pool.

If you want to go for a full regular Melee AT (Tanker or Scrapper over Brute unless you can think of a way to make the Rage mechanic work with them thematically) then It'd likely be Energy Melee and Energy Aura plus some Epic and Pool ranged attacks. Epicwise the Soul and Mu Mastery pools both provide a few decent blasts which can be recolored to match "energy beams" so you're not completely restricted to Laser Beam Eyes and Energy Torrent. The Pool Power attacks "Wall of Force" and "Spirit Ward" are passable but might be tricker to appropriately reflavour.

I have an Energy Blast / Time Manipulation Corruptor that is a "faux Peacebringer". The final build is posted below, but it was plenty of fun leveling up.
