As a Fate Accelerated fan I'd say to use that - Approaches and Aspect permissions are great for Super Powers, ofthose you listed ICONS is based on a hybrid of Fudge and MM rules so its got that same Narrative focus plus a bit more crunchiness.
So the latest Easter Egg rumour is that this image from the last Daredevil episode shows The Watcher,
with Brad Winderbaum posting "always watching" in his own social media.
Anyway if that really is the Watcher it could indicate that death of Vanessa is going to be a truely signficant event...
So maybe its the spark of Power rather than Lightning but if the lightning rod works the effect will be a cool bit of marketing

I'm also thinking Discworlds Guard Series or the Garret PI series as settings. Tunfaire probably works fairly well...
Gunpowder weapons dates from the 10th century and hand cannons were widespread in China/Vietnam by the 13th Century and reached Europe by the 14th century (earliest documented use is 1326 in Florence)
The Loshult Hand Cannon dates to 1350 and was used by a German Knight.

Why? Barbarians have damage resistance - so a percing bullet is only doing half damage even if its 3d6, Monks are suppose to be fast and able to dodge projectiles in order to get closeup in melee
differences in tech is a feature of some games so thats not really a reason not to explore guns...
