Yeah, use Supers to scale up a proper personal-combat spear. A pike is too unwieldy for anyone under 3m tall even to attempt to use with the kind of precision needed for individual combat. It has less to do with strength than with arm length; spear moves involve placing your hands some percentage of the spear's length apart, from the head, from the butt, etc. If somebody that big did get a pike, and was strong enough to use it as a spear, then the pike would likely be too slender for his mighty strength. A pike isn't a scaled-up spear; it's a really long spear. A scaled-up spear would be much thicker.
