Eh.. ya know, I never really thought of it like that. I never broke it down like that in my head.. and you're actually super right. We have a shit ton of athletic people with guns. Im fine with the bow and arrow, it's handled in (to me anyway) a thematically interesting way, but you're right.. the number of SUPER HEROES who actually have like, unique powers, are kinda limited.
Putting it like that, there is definitely some design space that's not being occupied here.. there is a ton of potential to explore with this that's not being tapped in to.
It would be nice to see super powers expressed as something other than just throwing them at people at well. A lot of the actual superpowered characters, even if they do have interesting designs, seem to kind of fall in to the "throw colored light at people" bucket. Darkseid, Fate, Starfire, etc. I'd like to see more powers expressed in ways that don't just equate to throwing said power, in a different color and shape, at the opponent.
Constantine is a big hope of mine, I don't know anything about him outside the movie stuff, but the idea of the character and what he could potentially do could make for something unique and interesting.
I'm not a comic fan personally. I think it's all really interesting but I don't keep up with any of it or follow a particular person/world, so when it comes to characters in the game in somewhat less concerned with WHO they are, as HOW they play. Since I don't have a huge fan-leaning towards a specific person or set of people, to me it's just about the pile of abilities and possibilities that it represents - but there's no reason we can't have both.
I still think Spawn could be amazing.
