Nice ideas - I can definitely get behind trying to differentiate similar characters so they don't play identically, particularly when one of them has drawbacks that lends itself to the different playstyle.
Of the 2.0 characters, the only one I've capped the power disc cooldowns for so far is Nick Fury. I feel he's never going to be the best at DPS and as the leader of SHIELD he should have minions/air-strikes as often as possible. This in combination with his ulti makes him a bit of a 'pets' character.
Also for those still playing at home, the recommended CHROME Damage + Defense disc combo (above) for the ranged burst attackers also gives you bonus exp sparks if you're still levelling. The Rapunzel and Violet combo for tanks also gives bonus damage.
EDIT:
And while we're on the topic of choosing power discs for characters, I've been searching around and have NOT been able to find a definitive list of what the red discs actually do, specifically. Sure on the generic lists it says Bolt's Super Strength - 10% more damage but that is not exactly true is it? In practice I've interpreted it as meaning "10% chance to deal bonus damage on hit" though how much this bonus damage is there is no mention. And also, this disc appears to affect both the melee combos and the ranged attacks though not explicit stating as such. Others specify melee/ranged(weapon) damage only, such as Zurg's Wrath - Increase melee damage by 15% . So again, presumably , 15% chance to proc bonus damage, but is the bonus added the same as for Bolt? Then there's other discs, Fix-It Felix's Repair Power which claims to add 20% health but I believe it was one of the ones that does a proc chance to heal? Not to mention the new Marvel discs that not only give a costume change but also give a buff similar to the 1.0 round discs. I wonder if you've included many power discs in your tests and have any light to shed on the subject? It's odd in a game this popular that this information hasn't been formally established yet after well over a year.
