D20 is too limited to effectively accomplish that past the most basic level. The D20 system was not designed to be a very multigenre game. it is just a combination of 2e material given a few alterations to make it simpler. It is no more fit for super heroes than 2e was.A super hero is just that, super. Even Thor, the strongest god in a pantheon Deities and Demigods isn't even close to Superman in strength or speed, and Supes is far from the most powerful chracter in comics.Doing stats for chracters like Goku, Superman, Silver Surfer, Thor, Darkseid, Galactus or Mr. Majestic is beyond the basic scope of D20. Some of these people can destroy galaxies without even trying hard.People, at least the people I play with, do not want watered down versions of their favorite super hero, they want as close as reasonable to the hero they have read about.It basically comes down to D20's insistence that a chracter be made to fit the system rather than ensuring adaptability of rules to allow the rules to be made to fit the chracter.The best of the super hero systems, in my opinion, was the old DC Mayfair one used in Blood of Heroes. It allows for nearly any power the chracter could have through the use of misc. bonuses, drawbacks, advatages, and disadvatanges.</blockquote>
