SuperStrength Rage.png Rage

A Rage comes over you, sending you into a berserker fury. While Raging, your damage and chance to hit are dramatically increased.

This crash can be mitigated by using the Unrelenting power from the Presence pool (Brutes only).

SuperStrength Taunt.png Taunt

Taunt foes to attack you. Useful to pull enemies off allies and keep them attacking you to raise your Fury. A To Hit check is required to Taunt enemy players, but is not needed against critter targets.

Editor's Note:

Tanker: Taunts a foe, and some nearby foes, to attack you. Useful for pulling villains off an ally who find themselves in over their head. Taunted foes tend to ignore other Heroes and focus on you for quite a while, so use this power cautiously. A To Hit check is required to Taunt enemy players, but is not needed against critter targets.
