You don't really need to keep people from being "all powerful" because few superheroes are, especially Marvel ones, and people tend to roleplay them rather than rollplay them. Plus a lot of the systems involved are kind of narrative-oriented (all the way back to the late '90s) and keep things fairly balanced in terms of how narratively powerful everyone is, even if one guy can lift a battleship and another is just telepathic or whatever. It's a little easier with Marvel as their top guys tend to be a rank in power down from DC (with some exceptions that fans will argue about literally endlessly).Depending on the exact RPG though the focus and nature of the campaign can vary wildly, as one might expect.</blockquote>
