Got some interesting ideas, like unlocking powers as the situation gets more dire.Worlds in Peril: PbtA - how hard can you push yourself and the dangers of stopping a villain at all costs.Galaxies in Peril: Successor(?) to Worlds in Peril, Forged in the DarkMarvel Heroic Roleplay + Cortex Prime: Almost more of a Superhero Comic RPG then a Superhero RPG. MHR was obviously very Marvel focused, but bringing in the new edition of the rules from Cortex Prime, whihc includes character creations, could allow a more own-world feel. Among other points, I like that it was able to handle Thor and Hawkeye going out for a boy's night and not worrying about the power differences.Champions/HERO System: Okay, I'm lying. 6th Ed has all the magic sucked out for me. But I played so much 2nd ed and BBB back in the 80s and 90s that I still have a soft spot for the ultimate in supers simulation.)</blockquote>
