I agree with
Spaceship and Secret Lab

Also
Occult Lair
Institution for the Criminally Insane
SuperMax Prison
Transportation Company (Warehouse, Docks, and Cargo Ship)

I second the suggestion for large wharehouse or a set of docks, as they both seem to be pretty common settings, in the comics. Also, a large lab/tech firm; a military base; or a space launch facility would be nice. And while I'm thinking about it, an undersea facility would be good.

John-
You need to be on the lookout then for the next V&V commercial product... Citizen Report. This was actually the first thing that I worked on for FGU and it should be coming out in the near future. There's stats for forklifts (3 size grades, in fact), mopeds, golf carts, tour buses, jet skis, pick up trucks, racer bikes, tour bikes, etc. etc. etc.
There's also weapons in Citizen Report, though of the low tech mundane variety only (since it is a report on Citizen props), stylized gangs also... the image by Lorena on the advert shows the punk gang The Darlings.

I'm not as sure this one should be a Playset (rather than a standard map), but I'll let you decide:

Today as I was reading the newspaper (yes, they actually still make them) there was a front page article about an oil refinery explosion.  About 5 people were killed, and the article went on to explain how dangerous refineries really are, and how most serious accidents happen there, even though they are seriously outnumbered by chemical factories.  In two places/articles it said that there are approximately 150 refineries in the U.S., while there are tens of thousands of chemical plants.

It got me to thinking about how many classic action movies end up at some sort of large industrial factory-type setting.  Like Terminator 2, for example.  Such a setting would have tons of danger and potential for harm to all involved.

The closest we've ever come was a brief period of time where the Guardians set up their base on an oil derrick off the East Coast of the U.S.  They ended up being attacked by a kraken (Bluegill's, specifically) and having other fights there, but nobody ever mapped the place out or knew any of the specifics.

I think a chemical factory, oil refinery, or oil derrick would all make an outstanding map or playset, though I admit it would probably be harder than the local Gas-n-Go to scout out to find information!

I second that.



And also a compendium of military weapons, gadjets and equipment.

We've actually had a group like this in our Guardians campaign, though they've only shown up twice before.  They are Canadian (so take that, you Canucks! ), and were simply known as the LeBeque Gang.  One villainess in the group is called Earth Mother.

One of my PCs (the main one I'm playing right now) is from India, and he got his superpowers as a result of the Bhopal disaster.  Part of his motivation is to keep the Earth safe from those who would destroy it.

I've long thought of doing an adventure with eco-terrorists.  I've even printed off a magazine article about it as source material if I ever need it.

Cougar... that's actually a very good plan, especially since we've already included one villainous location of sorts.
There was mention in the past of a training/exercise area... I think that would be a good edition also, although perhaps a bit better at the headquarters but possibly also later as an independent center.
