Simulating Power Cosmic...?

If you are good at it, Blapper possibly, though I personally think Sentinel or Dominator would be more appropriate.

I know what you're saying... I can defeat enemies with a Defender, but it "feels" really weak, because he's doing so little damage.  The Blaster at least feels powerful, even if he's a bit more limited in other ways.

That's the point I'm making: It's not that Blasters at LEAST feel powerful.  It's that Blasters are THE MOST powerful. They're built to be the glass cannon of the game but that doesn't make other ATs weak in comparison. You're just trading some of the 'feels' for utility.

 

Blasters have utility too, but it's often times cheese utility. Stuff like -perception, contextual CC, etc.

Ya, the Atomic Manipulation powers have a couple of such things, holds and immobilizes... which synergize quite nicely with Energy Blasts, actually, as it prevents foes being knocked BACK as much, which teams like.

 

I understand too, that I'm surrendering utility, but the reality is that Defenders are just difficult to enjoy because they feel so WEAK.  Yes, I have more stuff I can do, but when I'm solo (which is most of the time), I'm just hitting enemies with wet noodles.  It's just not much fun.
