IG is a badass but not overly so.The Darkstar character is where the original idea for this campaign concept came from. Therefore, he is a very powerful character who can regenerate from almost any injury, but he must be under direct sunlight to do so.And, yes, heroes who come after him just don't have the same power levels. There are a few from when he is alive who go on to greater things but they never gain the fame/infamy that Darkstar had. Other heroes never become as attuned to the Energy as Darkstar was. (At least, not until the 3rd C begins.)That's a interesting way to look at it. At the beginning of the 3rd C, any supers (or mutants) that exist rarely display their abilities in a flashy manner. A lot of them work clandestinely for government agencies and private companies. Those that become to visible are often hunted by powerful criminal cartels who don't want to see a another "Darkstar" rise to thwart their plans.Yes, corruption will be a big deal. I like the idea of a darker world where even supers can't hope to change the world into a bright and sunny place. There are many paragons of good that live and die throughout the various eras, but they must endure in a violent world that doesn't truly understand (or even accept) them.There are good guys and bad guys but there are also a lot of gray-area heroes who don't take a stand one way or another. Mutants tend to fall into this category the most.The 3rd C is probably the one era that comes the closest to a Golden or Silver Age type campaign (I think; I haven't decided yet). Regardless, the technology of the world has advanced to a point where normals can challenge supers with battlesuits and the like.The 3rd C is also where humanity has to start dealing with "obvious" alien incursions on Guardian Earth. I'm planning to use the Alternity aliens as well as the Star Frontiers aliens for the Guardian Chronicles. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
