But in short, don't feel the need to tone down the character.  Remember, you can also make your opponents equally as tough, and once your tank is flattened, the rest of the team can chime in and take him down.  A good way to do this is also found in d20 Modern - apply weaknesses to the enemies that can be discovered by research etc.  For example, have a villain with DR20/Blunt, and a weakness against, say, cold.  That'll confuse your brawler (a lot <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />) and give any cold-using PC's a chance to screw with the Big Bad Guy.  For every super-hero, there should be (at least) one super-villain, or an anti-hero.  That way, you can change up who fights what and then everyone has fun.  Or, throw in a Sentinel.  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" /></blockquote>
