When it comes to superheroes, I don’t think gear selection has the same meaning as it does for Blades, where the PCs are going on heists of some sort. Gear tends to simply be more of a power source in superhero stories. I had a couple of exceptions along the lines of the Leech’s bandolier in order to replicate something like Batman’s utility belt or Hawkeye’s quiver of arrows, but otherwise I didn’t focus on gear too much. When you look at supers comics an movies, gear is usually just a baked in part of the character. Mr. Freeze is always gonna have his armor and gun; they’re what gives him his powers. Deadshot’s always gonna have his wrist guns and his eyepiece, and maybe a rifle. That may be different for you since you’re definitely leaning into the gang of criminals idea. But since I was thinking of adding a whole new module for Powers, I figured removing the Gear/Load element of Blades might make sense to maintain rather than increase complexity.</blockquote>
