Flyers in COH could not be touched except by ranged attacks. Only rarely were flyers attacked by other flyers..
Mutant sharks are the answer. able to breath both air and water, they can leave the water to fly/hunt on land.
1) they should fly as fast as PCs.
2) they should have a devastating bite attack.
3) they should be able to carry off and eat civilians
4) Whale sharks (just scaled up bigger versions) can be events
5) (I assume) there will not be a lot of animation involved
6) (added animation) they will bump noses against doors and say things like, "Candygram" or, "Pizza Man"
optionally, you can make a humanoid version that does not fly. like a were shark, they sleep by day and clamber out of the water by night.
1) they use the hulk bodytype
2) heads are out-sized even for the bodytype
3) attack is a devastating bite.
4) for a city with as much coast line as Titan, this could be very scary
5) [b] every wereshark is a boss...every last one

But perhaps you meant the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megalodon]Megalodon[/url], which is
Foradain, Mage of Phoenix Rising.

Oh, god. Are we back on the Fish Melee thing, even before the game's released? Please, no.... ;D
The difference between Megalodon and whale sharks is that the latter still exist. Though a Megalodon boss in water zones would be wicked. Have to smack its fin until it comes up to try to teamwipe you with the AOE Bite Attack of ZOMGTEETH!
Whale sharks are pretty placid, though. It's not unheard of for boats to run right over them, since they tend to feed/bask close to the surface.. Somewhere there's a cool video of a paraboarder running over one, too.

So you're wanting to ham up the game just because?
(insert pithy comment here)
All of Captain Mako's (tm) little sprogs running all over the city? What could POSSIBLY be wrong with that? ;D

Well it sounds better than more zombies.
and if you guys think this is dumb, let me have it. I'm a big guy, I can take it.
I like flying squid too. Kinda Cthulhu-ish.

Well, I'll combat your sharks with Giant Pigeons!
They already fly and those sky-rats only need a little push, to become flying piranhas.
Best of all, this will give those Aether Pirates a real job to do, cleaning up flying menaces, instead of raiding the land-folk.
Be Well!

Fine. Let's rank your basic premise: bacon.
While there WERE a fair number of flying enemies in the previous game, you're right, if you stayed high enough above them, they wouldn't aggro. It could be fun to have something actually TOPICAL as an occasional 'gotcha' flying around at the higher levels.
Your proposed solution, however, flying sharks: squashed rancid chickpea rolled in sawdust. Not bacon.
Patrol aircraft, insane birds, killer bees...maybe something you might actually see flying? If you really want a Saturday-AM cartoon superhero game I hear Perfect World has one over thataway.

wait! I didn't even rank as bacon?!!???
curse the fates!

Have no fear, Cyke! The Sky Squirrel Squadron -- lead by the intrepid Captain Tippy-Toe (in her darling pink scarf and pilot helmet) -- will defend the City of Tabbies against all airborne enemies!

Well, sure, and we've already been promised Aether Pirates in the skies...
So Captain Tippy-Toe and her buddy Rocket J. Squirrel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuKZrPhY0ns) will have plenty to do, without tempting Amerikatt to grab her impervium fork and the sashimi-sauce and go around gathering 20K kcals of shark-steak to nom.
Be Well!

Boysenberries have more uses than peanuts!

However, the Megalodon could be said to still be alive but down deep below.
Or brought back by an evil scientist.
Or brought back by naive scientists.

See? Fish/shark people CAN be scary!

How come all your suggestions for NPC's seem to be goofy or comical? Do you really want those kinds of characters in the game or are you just being funny?

Well I mean CoX had goofy stuff too, I mean the Carnival of Shadows where just a bunch of magical clown girls, and the lost where evil hobos... silly concepts are a part of the Superhero genre, and while yes they needed to be balanced so they didn't take too much away from the dramatic elements of the world, they still pretty much exist...
not my video just one I lke ===> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6-SdIN0hsM
[CENTER][URL=http://www.nodiatis.com/personality.htm][IMG]http://www.nodiatis.com/pub/24.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/CENTER]
Carnival of Shadows is believable in that kind of world. Flying sharks or weresharks..I mean...that's kind of stretching it.
-----------
[color=#FF0000]Graphic Designer[/color]
Depends on how the world treats them and how they themselves are written in turn.... go up to anyone who has never played CoX and go "Hey you wanna know what would make a great villain? MAGIC STRIPPER CLOWNS!!" and they would just look at you like you're crazy... but CoX made such a weird concept work with how well they written and how well they where intergrated in the world.

some suggestions have been silly, some have not. I do admit I've been in a silly mood lately. Fishstick?

Remember that, given comic books as a guide, a single-target mez temp power named "Fruit Pies" isn't outside the realm of possibility.

Did you say "Pez"?

And thus the pathological liar supervillain with PEZ power named "Truth Decay" was born.
Name: Safehouse
Ranger: Gunner
Primary: Force Blast
Secondary: Atrophic Aura
Tertiary: Kinetic Melee
Travel Power: Parkour

Of course I think of this now:

(It's just a front and we all know it:

It's remarkable how "super villainy" that video is given the context for which we're using it.

Shark people? Flying sharks? Inconceivable!
