If you have a character who needs to have special attention given to them, and a sub-adventure specifically written so they can participate, then they are not as effective in the adventure as those you don't need to do that for. Superman's powerset is useful regardless of the scenario you put him in, unless you have specifically removed his powers from the scenario.Zatana's powerset is useful regardless of the scenario you put her in, unless you have specifically removed her powers from the scenario.Batman's powerset is useful some of the time, but it is possible to write a scenario where it is not useful at all, unless specific narrative effort is made to FORCE it to be useful. This applies to RPGs like DnD as well. It is actually quite difficult to devise a scenario where a Bard, Cleric or Wizard's power set is useless to them. But it is trivially easy to devise a scenario where the Fighter will struggle to contribute unless you specifically FORCE the fighter's skill set into the spotlight. If you have a character who is useful all of the time, and a character who is only useful some of the time, then you don't have two equally useful characters.</blockquote>
