Has anyone tried creating custom power sets or do you usually just try to make an established power from the books fit into your power theme? Example, I want to create a hero who can manipulate gravity in order to become more agile (by making himself lighter), able to pick up and toss heavy objects, and generate a field of heightened or lessened gravity to immobilize nearby foes (crushing them to the ground or suspending them in the air).

In Demiplane I pretty much just have to pick existing powers and translate them into his power theme.
EXAMPLE: For my hero, Vector, I took the following Power-sets: Elemental Control-Force, Super-Strength, Telekinetics and Martial Arts
To leap higher and further like Spiderman, I take Leap and increase his agility ability score.
To hit harder and throw villains when they are weightless, I have Clobber, Smash, Focused Strike
To make a field of high gravity, Ground Shaking Smash
To become weightless I took Levitate
To Immobilize a foe or alter their point of gravity, Force Grab / Push
I use Force Sphere to make a protective sphere that creates hyper-gravity to lessen or negate damage from projectiles
etc...

Is it possible to combine or stack powers? I know you cannot stack enhancement meta-powers, but what if you wanted to say, inject a Force element power - such as Force-Burst into a melee attack (i.e. the hero surrounds his fist in a field of force energy, releasing it as a burst upon a successfule punch to inflict both melee and Focus-based damge)?

Likely it just works as a Force-burst requiring a hit and using the damage of the Force-burst rather then melee, assuming Ego is higher then Melee. But if Ego was 3 and Melee was 5, could adding the force burst add more damage?

Or with Narrator approval:
- Apply an Edge to his melee attack, while spending 5 points of Focus
- Spend more points of Focus to increase impact damage and/or knockback

Is there a way to increase attribute point pool byt taking less powers or sets or traits?

I get that energy is basically em spectrum energy and force is typically invisible physical force like Sue Richards force-fields. But in the case of Cyclops, his eyebeam does concussive damage, so is that an example of an energy blast or force blast?
