The Marvel RPG had a good rule about it requiring a yellow feat role (more or less equivalent to a special attack in V&V).

I've always done Grappling as a Special Attack. The player has to make his intentions known (i.e. I want to grab him so I can pin his arms back). Should someone get grappled, on their next phase they can try to escape. The pinned target & the attacker roll their HTH Damage dice. Highest number wins.

For example, Power Dude attempts to grab Running Guy. Power Dude rolls a success Special attack and the GM says he has grabbed Running Guy by his arm. On the Running Guy's next phase, he tries to escape Power Dude's clutches. He rolls his 1d6 HTH Damage vs Power Dude's 2d8 HTH Damage. He rolls a 5 and Power Dude gets a measly 3 - Running Guy was able to slip out from Power Dude's grasp.

That's the basics of how I handle grappling. Obvious various factors might come into play like various powers, training bonuses, and/or situation modifiers.
