It's not quite as adaptable as HERO, but it scales a lot better and is easier to use. Genereally, HERO would be my choice for low power supers and DC Heroes for high power.DC Heroes is out of print, but the system lives on in a game called Blood of Heroes, by a company called Pulsar Games. Sort of hard to get but it is out there.The HERO 5 book is very nice. The game is somewhat detail-heavy. The thing about the HERO system is that it is extremely adaptable. If there is a power, ability, or gadget out there, you can make it with the HERO mechanics. It does take some learning, though. And to be honest, if you can't handle multiplication and division during chargen, then look elsewhere.The new book is nice primarily in that it gives you a lot of examples of how to use each power, limitation, and advantage. There is a good chance if you are looking for a specific effect, it will already have an example in the book.</blockquote>
