I play on Triumph, and just started, so I have an army of wimpy characters (namely, six of them - that's right, two are the same archetype).

It's hard not to create a bunch of wimpy characters in that game. You don't have time to play them all, but the character designer is just too fun to use
When I played City of Heroes over a year ago, I had like a million of them, including a Stone-powered tank called "The Snot Monster" and a little monkey in motley called "Jackanapes". My mains were an undead gunslinger called "The Remains", and a hot pyrokinetic goth chick named "Broodling".
I just got Villains for Christmas, so one of these days, I'll fire it up and give it another go. Soon as I'm not swamped.

Interestingly, I could probably just recreate all the same characters, since all my heroes looked a lot like villains. Perhaps with the exception of "Albert Einstein".

The character designer in Villains is a pretty significant improvement over Heroes, too - all the options from Heroes, plus a ton of new features.
Funny that so many people end up looking exactly the same anyway.

They are separate, and playable without the other, but there are some things you can't do unless you have CoV. (Specifically, you can't build bases unless you have the base building utility which currently only comes with CoV.)

By the way, Chris and I are on both CoV and CoH, though we're playing mostly CoV now. We're on Liberty (I think. I can never remember when I'm away from the home computer). I'm Dr. Cypher (a mastermind with Robot minions). I also have a Thorn and Vines controller female character named Brambula. You're most likely to find Chris, though, since I'm working on other projects lately and not playing as much. He's Dark Mistress and Hell Blaze on Liberty.
(If I'm wrong about "Liberty", then it's "Freedom" server. I know it's one of the two and I think it's the former.)
