Brutes live to fight, and as a Brute, you will revel in hand-to-hand combat. With strong offensive power sets designed to inflict pain and impressive defenses to take it, you're the best there is in a straight melee fight. Protracted battles only make you mad, and the madder you get, the more damaging your attacks become. You do lack ranged attacks, which could leave you vulnerable to hit-and-run tactics without allies to cover you.

Historical
- During the City of Villains Beta, Ice Armor and Ice Melee were powersets for Brutes. It was determined that the recharge debuff effects hindered Fury and those powersets were removed. Energy Melee and Energy Aura were then added as available powersets.
- Brutes received Dual Blades and Willpower when they were added to the game in Issue 11.
- Battle Axe, War Mace, and Super Reflexes were proliferated to Brutes in Issue 12.
- Brutes received Shield Defense when it was added to the game in Issue 13.
