I propose that we outright disallow the Heroic Extra for the following powers as its use can be unbalancing, especially when used in conjunction with the Horde Extra and Progression Power Feat:
Duplication
Summoning
Battles with only a few characters can be quite time consuming, a
single character with either of the above powers and the Progression
and Horde feat can double or triple the the number of combatants in a
single turn, and having each of those extra combatants able to sustain
as much punishment as a PC is frankly a book keeping and time keeping
nightmare, as well as potentially stealing the spot light from the rest
of the PCs.
I propose that Progression feat for the above powers be limited to only creating 5 duplicates/minions.
does anyone have any points for either side?

Other Powers being tossed around by the judges for disqualification:
Temporal Movement
Dimensional movement
Reasoning, such powers are disallowed for heros for Plot reasons

I agree, I think that just for plot consistancy and general ease of use, these should be banned. They require some GM Fiat, and could cause issues with other adventures as well.

I would like to know what yout think of one thing.
In 1st edition, you had Energy Field. When someone was attacking with
that power, let's say punch, his field was doing an attack and his fist
another.
Now, in 2nd edition, you have strike that you can add the Aura extra. What would happen if I add the Migthy feat?
1. If I strike, I would have only 1 attack at +(Str+Power)?
2. If I strike someone immune to my energy, my attack is completly
useless (so he is immune to the impact damage just because the energy
add his descriptor to teh whole attack?
3. If someone strike me, he would recieve an attack at +(Str+Power)?
In my opinion, the answers would be:
1. Yes
2. No, the attack would still do +Str
3. No, the attack would simply be +Power

If you had Strike with the mighty feat, and the Aura extra:
1)If you attack unarmed, and hit:
1 Toughness Save (Str + Strike) and 1 Toughness Save (aura)

Yes.

2)Striking someone immune to Aura
1 Toughness Save (Str + Strike)
3)You are struck
1 Toughness Save (Aura)
the mighty has no relation to Aura, it only adds to Strike Attacks

Ok... I didn't read like that. My mistake. Thanks. And yes, I have in mind an energy field concept for my PL8 hero.

I'll have more input on powers issues after 11/16 (big presentation to prepare for).
As a quick point, I agree with disallowing the four suggested so far.

I
like the proposition of Kylara, but to make things clear, will these
limitations apply only to players. Will a master use them for villain
or for adventure if they want?

A game master has to get approval for adventures, if they want to use an of the above powers they would need approval.

Agreed. After looking at this, I can see these powers being used as
potential plot devices, but should be approved before use as a GM.

Seems fine with me. So, YES to the restriction to these four powers.
