I think your perceptions might have been a bit off to think that most supers in the game would be higher than PL 20 if converted to M&M. That said there were a handful of NPC's (Cestus Pax and Divis Mal come to mind) that were indeed much higher than PL20 in M&M terms. The average starting character though was not as powerful as you say. If I had to compare an average starting Nova to a well known comic book character I'd put him or her on the same level as, oh I don't know, most of the X-Men. What the original Aberrant does allow is a focus of powers outside of the mainstream. That is to say powers that focus on Super-Charisma, Super-Apperance, Super-Wits, Super Manipulation and Super-Perception. All of these have very real affects in a game and can deffinitely change a game from a heavy-combat game to a non-combat game. It's really up to the GM and the players. I love Aberrant for its "realistic" setting. I'm a little cautious about this new version with D20 rules. Wait and see I suppose.</blockquote>
