I just realized what you meant. Why would he ever use his Lightning Punch instead of his Speed Bolt? How about replacing both by:

Speed Bolt Punch Striking ST +22 plus Natural Weapon Burning Damage; Extra-Reach (C, 1, 2), +100%; Increased Damage (+2 per die), +120%; Side-Effect, Stunning, +50%; Surge, +20%; Switchable, +10%; Must be running, -10% [59] Actually cost 12 points as an AA. I am thinking of adding cost fatigue on top (there must be a reason why he is not always using it).

All in all he would do 13d with both Stunning and Surge as side effects. He can also project it 2 yards in front of him.
