Heroes Unlimited, After the Bomb, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Villains Unlimited... I gave my 1st ed. TMNT to a friend for his birthday.
We had great fun with it back in the day but I am not sure we took it to seriously. After multiple characters were crippled or dies trying to crawl through a window on one of very first adventures with the system (and then later a battle that resulted in multiple broken bones but also where the monster that was suppose to make us run away died with a lucky shot i.e. 66 critical!!)

Always loved the critical hit charts. I hate rolling an 80 on percentile and failing.
I feel like I should post more in the game I am in. LOL.

Rolemaster: Too many charts.
And stupidly, I avoided Champions until someone introduced me to 4e. (Why would 'hunted by the CIA' improve your character?) Playing M&M, I sometimes think in Champions terms.
Most of the other supers games just never seems to make it to my FLGS.

Here's the updated Princess. I'll just bank one PP as I don't want to add another "random" spell to her repertoire.
The only real change is power D). It's just an bright light env power, with an important quirk.

BACKGROUND
DESCRIPTION
Gold buckled, black platform shoes, about four inches high adorn her tiny feet. She wears a black leotard, studded with sequins that glow in various colors due to her aura. Her crimson, short, pleated skirt has slightly lighter red panels showing in the pleats. Her top is a crimson, V-neck, T-shaped sweater over a short sleeved, puffy shouldered, black blouse with a red cravat. Near her shoulders, stiff red circlets flare.
Her face is heart-shaped, with high cheek bones. Her eyes are a pale blue and they are slightly large for her size. Her skin is pale, almost white and her lips always seem to be colored the same red as her outfit. Her hair is midnight blue, not black, straight and, even in two pony tails that rise unnaturally off her head, it falls down to her hips. Woven into the pony tail are two red ribbons, also as long as her hair.
She is a bit busty for her size and is obviously embarrassed by it. She has a very high pitched voice.
The first public photo of The Princess is of her flying away, from below, in a skirt. He cringes every time he sees it.
ORIGIN
One night, Brandon was star gazing when he saw a shooting star. Feeling foolish, he wished he had super powers. The next for night his dreams were filled with an image of pretty girl casting beams of light from her hands while saying goofy phrases. Each night the dreams ended with the girl saying "Princess Starlight Slumbers". After a week of this non-stop "training", he learned one more phrase: "Princess Starlight Shine in Luminous Splendor". He had no memory of learning these words but they were stuck in his mind. After a while he just had to say it.
At that point, Brandon Wein was replaced by Princess Starlight. That first time, Brandon immediately said "Princess Starlight Slumbers" and was relieved when he was himself again. But curiosity made him try it again, in a setting far from his house. And, while he just cannot get use to being a girl, he does want to do good. So it puts up with it. That, and the dreams spoke of a coming evil she is supposed to prevent. So he figures he should become proficient with being Princess Starlight (why, he laments, why that name?) before it happens.
Unknown to Brandon, the Princess Starlight powers sought out his sister but found him instead.
FAMILY
Brandon is the younger of two children. His sister Brandy is two years older than him. Melissa Byrnes-Wein, his mother, is on the board of several charitable (and prestigious) organizations headquartered in Centropolis. Jonathan, his father, is a low-level executive in one of leading scientific companies. He holds two Ph.D.s in biochemistry.
The Weins come from old money and live in one of the first, "older", modest-sized mansions along Millionaire's Pavilion. Being an older mansion, they own a larger plot of land than most including a private canalway off one of the main canals. Brandon usually goes into the copse of trees surrounding the private canal to change into Princess Starlight as he is fairly certain there are not any security cameras there. (Both on his property and the neighboring ones.)
COMPLICATIONS
Enemy: Something from her scary dreams
Identity: Brandon mostly doesn't want anyone knowing he's Princess Starlight because she's a girl and he's a guy. And while he would have no problem with this if it were someone else. Somehow it is a problem for him.
Motivation: Doing Good:
Power Loss: If she is unable to perform the song and gestures that announce her Light Spells, her power ranks are effectively halved.
Quirk: She cannot stand cuteness and yet people tend to thrust cuteness upon her. People always think she like pink, ribbons, stuffed animals, and other "girlie" stuff.
Reputation: The Princess looks like a 14 year old girl and sometimes she even finds her self acting like a young girl. This makes it hard for some people to take her seriously. (They don't distrust or hate her initially. But they don't listen to what she says much either. Particularly law enforcement folk.)
Totals: Abilities 58 + Powers 47 + Advantages 7 + Skills 6 + Defenses 18 = 136
