I was trying to come up with a way to stat out Superman or Captain Marvel, or even the Flash.  Seems that DC's heroes are a bit out of  V&V range.   Then I had an idea.   
   What if they only have a  Super enhanced power when they needed it, and the rest of the time  they had normal, statable powers?

   So I came up with this.   


Mutant Power:  Super!     This power increases a secondary characteristic to near infinite levels.     So if a chracter picks Super Strength, then their carrying capacity ( not hits, not HTH) increases to Super Levels.  That means, they have enought strength as is required.   
     The airplane is falling out of the sky?   Activate your Super Strength and you can catch it and bring it to safty.
    Need to out race a lighting bolt?  With Super Speed you would be able to with nanoseconds to spare.

   Note that you don't increase your stats ( your strength, Intellgence, aglity, endurance or charisma) you increase their secondary characterisics.
   
    You can super your movement rate, ( move at infinte velocity)   your initiative, your carrying, your inventing  chance,  your healing...

  I would say that this great power would cost about 25 power and last for one turn, like evastion.   
    Need to armwrestle Hercules... superstrength.
    Need to out draw Mercury....super initiative.
    Need to heal, super healing ( one healing rate per phase)
    Need to fly to the other side of the galaxy  super speed ( as applied to a movement rate, in this case flight)
   Need to invent the Ultimate Nullifier?  Superinventing  ( your percentage to invent would jump to.... infinity!
   Want to wow the world?  Super Reaction!
   Want to hear what they are saying, in Antartica?  Super Detect Hidden! 

   This power should be extremly rare, and only given to players with strong role playing skills and a very good concept.
   The player and GM would have to pick what their particular Super  modifier is.  One power means only one thing can be Super, so they pick Super Speed, Super Strength, Super Reflexes...you get the point.

Unless they have the variant.

Mutant Power: Super B.  Same as above but they can change what is super with each use.    Thing of Ultra Boy from the Legion of Super Heroes.

That is fine,  move at light speed, but don't expect to hit as you get a negative modifier on your to hit roll based on how fast you are moving and how fast your target is moving.

I agree this power level would definitely be more of a DC thing as opposed to Marvel, but should be applied judiciously.

For instance I thnk you could easily do Flash with standard V&V powers. Starting with Flight (only when running on ground or water as a power limitation) throw in Heightened Speed or two, and a couple other powers to boot.

Green Lanterns "might" be explained as a form of a Psionic or Willpower. Boosting the Solid Light Illusions a certain amount based on the PR associated with the boost.

I always thought of Marvel's characters being more well-rounded with heightened stat powers than DC's, and DC's more powered up like somekind of one trick ponies. Obviously there are exceptions on each side but that's always the feel I got.

Paul's example might not be perfect, but he's right about one thing. This kind of guy could dominate a game like Maxima. Which of course makes him a Superman (mutant guy not Paul)

That is where you use your superspeed!

If you Super-ed your carrying capacity and punched someone, I , after much thought and intense advanced math, have determined that infinite strength translates to 25d10.  Same with super speed.

Someone smarter and more patient than me once calculated that the velocity damage of light speed is 20d10. So five more dice then that is enough to simulate infinity.

Yeah, it changed over time.  I would let the HTH and Carrying Capacity get the benefit with Super.
