Great thread, I had been thinking of this for sometime. I am surprised no one has mentioned Murk in any capacity, and if they had, I simply overlooked it. Murk effectively would be the hardest hitting ally in the game if he performed the way he does in Themyscira and Flashpoint content. I am listing two abilities for the combat because either one is a great option. Perhaps Murk can be the first ally to have two combat abilities and only one support ability leaving him with fewer, but very strong options. He could be an Epic Ally if he only has one combat and one support ability, Legendary Ally if he has the two with the one support ability. Ally: Murk Combat ability Option 1 (not sure what his pushback is called): Savage Blitz - Knocks back enemies and pummels foes into oblivion for a total of three AoE pushbacks, each stronger than the last. 60 second cooldown. Combat ability Option 2: Gut Hook: Murk channels his gut hook for ten ticks of single target damage, doing 100 % damage on the first tick, followed by nine ticks of 10% of his max damage. 90 second cooldown. Support ability: Mutineer's Assault - Each time an enemy is struck with a weapon attack, there's a chance to receive a 5% increase to weapon damage dealt upon the next cast of a shield ability. The increase in weapon damage lasts for 9 seconds or for 10 weapon attacks, whichever is reached first. 30 second cooldown.
Personally, I would like an ally that would not be an iconic character, I will not prescribe passive and active skills, just the type of ally: In the rare category, I would like 4 allies: 1 is a random demon ally, 2 is a random robot ally, 3 is a random scientist ally, 4 is a random undead ally... In the "epic" ally category, I would like to see: 1. a random exobite hero or villain, 2. a miniature exobite, the embodiment of which is almost invisible so that we can claim that this skill is not an ally, but ours .... In the "legendary" ally category, I would like to see: a "clone" of our own character from another universe....

Ally: Blackfire (Whenever she makes it into the game, hopefully soon....we need Tamaranian content!!!) She deserves to be Legendary tbh so 2 passives it is. Just getting creative here. Combat: Throwing a barrage of Dark Starbolts at enemy and it does damage over time. Passive 1: Royal Protection shields you and up to 3 Injured allies for 10s Passive 2: For The Queen Steal health from allies when you are around 25% health
Red Tornado Active: Summons several tornadoes and sweeps away everything in its path Passive: Use the wind to push the adds too close to you
Streaky The Kryptonian Feline: Active: Frost Breath. Does damage over time and stuns adds and slows bosses. Passive: NINE LIVES, lol. As you level Streaky you get an increasing chance at a REVIVE if you're knocked out in combat. This could be a CRUCIAL thing in elite content.
Nice, but I would prefer my cats to be Single Target damage. Can't leave that mutt being the king of ST, cat must reign instead.

Passive 1: Cryokinetic - Attacks and being freezes enemies, causing them to take more damage when hit. Up to 7% more damage. (Bosses just take more damage and do not freeze.)
John Stewart: active ability: Single target John sets into position and fires a single shot from his hard light sniper rifle causing a localized aoe on impact. Passives: Solid Construction: Shields and Shield like abilities are 10 percent stronger Kill em with Kindness: Doing Damage sends out passive heals based on your restoration (maybe dom) to you group. Still workshopping this one. The idea is to use Indego Lantern John Stewart so there won't be an oversaturation of Greens. It will benefit DPS with a massive nuke damage ability and support roles by having increased shields and some additional healing
BUUUUUMMPPPPPPP!! Since Amazo absorbs/imitates powers maybe he’d be interesting to see after a few more main characters get added or 8 more Batman’s xD His passive could be an auto PI for any power set cause he’s copying your powers. This would also in turn allow for more flexibility in load outs (no need to apply PI with a power) and artifacts (no Longer need grim for PI) yes there is alternatives to those but thought this would be neat Someone (Magnetofirstclass) mentioned that his attack ability could be a cycle of different JL member powers; for example 1 main power per each flash, SM, WW, manhunter, Lantern.. etc and it would randomly select similar to BWL luck of the draw
