[QUOTE="victordoom, post: 231072, member: 1765"] [b]Hero progression[/b] I used to think it really never made since to have a level based supes game. To me it always seemed the heros were all set to go when their comic got started. But back in the late 80's I think comic book writers started showing interest in telling the stories of a the heros learning the ropes, thus titles like Batman : Year one and such. It does really make since if you think about it . I think Thor wood not find much challenge from the Saturn men now, but back then they were percieved a threat. Spidey would hand the enforcers over to the cops and not break a sweat now but back in the day they gave him all he could handle. So heros do grow and gain experience and levels do as good a job as anything to reflect this growth. This doesn't mean one night you and yor buddies can't get together and use the Avengers (most of those guys are at leaste 8th level) and kick some but. Or for that matter create a character at whatever level you want and play with him. Who knows maybe one night you and your GM can decide to run a year one campaign with you using an early incarnation of your high level character. [/QUOTE]
