Got to say, not sure if I am convinced about this game yet based on what you have said so far Kurtt!
Yeah, they have great character customisation options but I don't actually like that!
Don't really want to spend ages designing the look of my toon.

It really does sound like an updated CoH with shiner graphics.

Think I might save my cash now and wait for Batman Arkham Asylum to come out - looks like I will get my Superhero fix that way.

Ah, the ever pesimistic Thuggy :P

Seriously Mag, give it a go, at least the open beta. This game plays NOTHING like CoH, trust me. See, I even added caps for emphasis.

it really is nothing like COH its more fun ;)

No factions JOn action is against the various Villain groups with the main story being the possible return of Dr Destroyer who destroyed Detroit which Millenium City was built on the remains.

various villains are

VIPER ;- they are trying to perfect a super soldier serum, they created GROND if youve seen him in the desert.

Telios:- geneticist sees himself as the perfection of man and surrounds himself in clones of himself and robotic dinosaurs :)

gadroon :- alien frogmen trying to terraform the planet for themselves, they have annoying gravity powers

Mechanon ;- robot who hates life. go to snake gulch in the desert and fight the robotic cowboys at the old amusement park.

and many many more from the new purple gang, to chinese triads, to ghosts and demons, basically if theres a comic book stereotype bad guy good chance its in there and somemore :)

My biggest, and probably only gripe with the game so far, is the instancing. Having to be asked to choose an instance everytime I zone started to niggle me, and I see this getting even more annoying as I continue to play. Now, I appreciate that this is required for having one server, but I feel it destroys immersion to a degree (lord, can't believe I just said that!), and I can't help but wonder how this will effect the community in terms of hanging around and chatting with other players, as mmo players are wont to do (Atlas Park, Org/IF/Dal etc). Also, how will I know where to find my bro's toon (who is also in the beta) or some of my guildies? Make sure we synch our instances over vent?

instance list used to show any of your friends SG members that were in each instance, seems to be removed in yetsterdays patch hopefully this will return as your point is valid and beyond typing in chat "im in MC #5" etc and then everyone switching to that version of MC no ther way of sorting these things out. not played wit it too much in groups to see how thats affected.

well thats what Ironclad (one of the Champions) is.

 no specific alien soldier background but there is Military training and im sure with imagination you could mix it up with some of the others to get the desired results.

So basically you could be this guy.

I stopped reading superhero comics many years ago, and I rather thought my interest in the spandex crew had ended. I enjoy comics though, and pick up various things now and then. I started collecting Marvel's Annihilation and sort of rediscovered superheroes slightly, in a cosmic space opera kind of way.

So, you know, alien soldier with superpowers on Earth...

Well, considering theres oodles of options in the Character Creator, including alien faces and whatnot, I'd say yes, definately.

Also bare in mind you can use a custom framework, so basically mix and match any of the powers from any framework to get the exact hero your after.

Tell you what, I'll have a go at making an Alien Super Soldier-esque character over the weekend and post up a screenshot afterward. If you have any look and feel reuqests, post here :)

No servers up for test phase, patcher/launcher not working, and website and forums go down.
