Q: What was the reasoning behind limiting different aspects of hero costumes to only certain hero origins? Was it designed to pose as a unique combat class benefit?
A: We toyed with the idea of limiting costumes based on the origin of the hero's powers a while back. Since then, we've decided that letting players express their creativity is more important than imposing our own arbitrary rules about what a person with, for example, mutant powers might look like their mutant power could allow them to meld with metal, giving them the appearance of a battle-suit armored hero. So there are no limitations on choosing costumes now.
