In a newish blog, 10 by 10, they opine about the potential lack of balance in superhero games. I mean - Superman and Batman teamups? How does that work out? One can chew through steel, the other can...um...buy hotels with spare change...
All said, having either as an enemy would be A BAD THING®.
Anyway, on 10by 10 they have a video from a couple of very funny British comedians. So go look on this blog post and give 10 by 10 some trafficy goodness.
Of course, in my superhero games there's plenty of opportunity to equalise power but if one guy wants to forego all of his points and just have "a BMX" and skill in riding it when everyone else is a son of Krypton, then you gotta give him what he wants and then TELL him that he can't really be involved in the fight against Galactus' heralds becaurse, frankly, tere isn't a BMX jump that high.
Are you compelled to make allowances though? I say yes - because the time to make objections was during the character generation process. You should have spotted it then.
