I heard a rumor that there are also ways to make it pretty. 

 

Honestly though I still want a SS/Bio scrapper with Shadow Meld to handle the Rage crashes.  May as well swap Jab for the old Energy Transfer while we are at it.

Darling, I don't care about Super Strength and its ridiculous rage effect. However, I do want Stone Melee. Bad.

[Mister Mass]

Wait, is it August 31, 2020 & there still isn't Super Strength for Scrappers? 🤨

Make ya a deal: Nerf Rage, then we'll talk.

I read that as Nerd Rage and thought that would be a fun power.

[MunkiLord]

Scrappers still need this. And Stone Melee.

The PPM balance will be a good start 🙂

You could just sub in build up and it would be fine.

Wouldn't that be a minor aoe choking (read: Laughing) affect followed by self-destruction of the user?

 

As for SS on Scrappers - with Energy Melee going to scraps it looks like wait for the Rage/SS revamp and you have  shot of getting it. The last Rage attempt at a change caused.... um... rage last time so expect that to happen a bit farther down the road.

Still no SS, but at least we got EM?

Hulk is SS. Spider-Man is SJ. The end.

But that can't be true - Spider Man is effective.

 

In all seriousness, if Street Justice didn't suck, I wouldn't mind Super Strength being kept away from Scrappers nearly as much.

 

Also, if the Hulk is the base for qualifying for Super Strength, then almost nobody has Super Strength. Not even the Thing, or Colossus. The Hulk is pretty much the strongest being in all of comic books, unless there's a cross-over with Superman.

I feel like Hulk is more of a Brute than a Scrapper anyway

Spider-Man has gone far past the 10 tons lifting.  Though, that can be the writers being terrible at math.  Stopping a train for instance is way more than 10 tons. 😛  Or any heavy object and put some speed on it 😛

Spider-Man, like almost any hero in published comic books, is "strong enough to carry the plot." If he needs to be strong enough to throw cars around, he can. If he needs to find just lifting a car a little tough, then he'll be straining hard to lift it, even if it's the exact same car he was chucking across the street last issue. Telling the story has always been more important in comic books than maintaining perfectly consistent power levels for the heroes. No matter how much that infuriates a lot of comic book readers.

He's a blapper with a blaster set that has weird lateral and reverse knockback.

Superior Reflexes.  Spider-Sense.  Sounds like a Defense Set to me.  😛

 

Scrapper with a good Epic Set (Blast, Hold, Immobilize, AOE Hold, AOE Immobilize) 🙂

Nerf rage and buff some of the other powers to compensate. But please not just another boring BU power.

I came up with a non-Build Up Rage replacement for Scrappers in this thread that went on for four pages and no one had anything at all to say about it. 😕

Yeah? Well I suggested back in 2011 making Rage into a toggle for Scrappers and everyone just threw fruit at me. 😄

Everyone's always suggesting making Rage a toggle, you were probably just boring them

StJ can put up numbers. It certainly can for stalkers.

 Spider Man was originally in the 10 ton strength class but is currently considered to be in the 25 ton strength class (as a result of Mephisto altering reality).
