Heroes! Hey guys and girls, a taste of the heroes I've been using so far, yeah they're dumb and tropey but hey, it's the 70's. Feel free to add your own. it's also not really set in the 70s, more like 1999. Although hey, do whatever you like, that's half the point of such a flexible system
The format for heroes in this game is that they're relatively low power - along the lines of most xmen before they get their own damn character arc and develop power levels over 9000.
They generally have two points bonus overall, for example Icepick has 3 power - 3 psychic, giving him +3 on rolls concerning those powers, -2 strength and endurance. This can be affected by restrictions on actions or bonuses to action economy such as Conflict's restriction on healing or Luchadora's action economy bonus of combining grapple with throw.
