And Net can create energy fields to trap opponents.

Gen's switches are all strong in and of themselves, without requiring some convoluted combination.

Having a 3rd arm, writing in metal, and firing water still aren't incredibly useful in general combat without a context. I totally maintain that none of his switches are totally useless, it's just that he has to sort of be "creative" when it comes to how he uses certain ones. I use the word creative lightly because the trump card was always whatever switch had just been finished by Kengo, but it felt a lot like an inexperienced, lucky superhero should. I know you mentioned Spiderman as a guy who has to make do with a really simple set of powers, and while that's true, if you look at a series like The Spectacular Spiderman, he would always win out of some lucky bout of creativity, rather than sheer force. That's how a lot of Fourze's fights felt to me, even if his first instinct was to go in with Rocket and Winch.
