I guess my point is that d20 can be mutated to match the needs of a supers system...but I don't see that it would scale with traditional D&D.  By it's very nature, Supers requires combat that is a heck of lot less deadly than it's D&D counterpart.  People throw ocean liners at each other, hit each other with raw plasma, are exposed to rips in the fabric of space-time and walk away from it.  Dieties and Demigods might be a good starting point, but as it is, even one level of divinity makes you both more powerful and less powerful than the average superhero, in some aspects.  I think it can be done, with some work, but the core materials currently available wouldn't do it.</blockquote>
