[QUOTE="hero4hire, post: 3694804, member: 20711"] Insight, I just went over Torque. Just a couple of things. Torque's 30 pp of Friction Array seems very innefficient compared to the one presented in Ultimate Power. I cant see a reason Thematically or Mechanically to make most of it a Ranged instead of Perception. You are not saving PP, nor do you have any Feats to take advantage of making some of the Powers being Ranged. Unless you have an objection I would like to present the array like this. Since you have UP you can just look these up (some are APs of Kinetic Control), but do exactly what you intended PLUS all are at Perception Range. Also, Immunity to all Heat Effects is 10 ranks of Immunity Heat Damage however is 5 ranks. Lastly due to an unneeded Feat (attack specialization) and some math you have leftover PP.
