Following the Pop-Eye example, if Pop-Eye wanted to say, punch Brutus into orbit. What he would do is invoke/tag his "Strong to the Finish" aspect. This allows him to use a point of determination to increase his attack roll so that he would be more likely to cause a cosmic success (making it so he could knock Brutus into orbit).

Okay, so lemme throw some ideas at you here, in the form of some aspects.

PRODIGY
Identity: Young tech genius
"I think I've got just the thing for this."
Mentor - AI Core programmed by father
Swank Pad - Father's Secret Underground Lab
Challenge: Didn't actually invent or create suit, and doesn't fully understand it.
Challenge: Chip on Shoulder - Wants to prove self equal to supers, metahumans, aliens, etc... Can be goaded or taunted as a result.
Enemy: Mysterious high tech faction that wants suit for reverse-engineering.

Basically, the hero (codename: PRODIGY), is the son or daughter of a supersmart technocrat who had a secret vault in which he kept his magnum opus...a prototype armored robot-assisted harness that utilized energy systems and molecule-scale engineering that are so far advanced of Earth that they seem almost magical. This genius died under mysterious circumstances. He left a series of almost indecipherable clues though, that his son managed to piece together to gain access to the vault.

After some soul-searching, and learning enough about the machinery to at least maintain and repair it, the child of the greatest scientist on Earth donned the suit and began fighting crime as PRODIGY!

Those work nicely (especially since they give you a lot of wiggle room for using determination).

Looks like my hero is the only one with a mundane/secret identity. Maybe it is more a challenge than a benefit... seeing all the stars, geniuses and billionares around

It's a benefit when your not picking on the little people.

Vosa -

"I sense something is wrong with this artificial society of superheroes. Something just doesn't fit right. I would like to have more insight on this matter." replies the altar in it's stony voice.

Could you clarify Xokzatle's comment?

Is he talking about the world's apparent "superhero society" that is based on real-world's celebrity-culture or is he asking about the idea behind the creation of a national/global super-team or the superhero convention-scene?
