    Hero System Vs. Mutants & Masterminds. Which is the better super-hero game?

    Personally, I think that HERO is counter-intuitive, slow, and there is too much point-juggling. I think that M&M is too derivative, some d20 solution are transferred without any consideration, and there is too much point-juggling. If I had my choice in superhero RPG, I'd lean towards Savage...
