Subtract this value from a starting value of 6, with a minimum of 1, todetermine the hero’s starting Determination. Powers that count double in Icons have their powerlevel doubled before they are added to the total.For example, a hero with Strength 8, Blast 7, Flight 5, and Invulnerability 8 has a sum total of 22levels. This total, divided by 6, equals 3.66, which rounds down to 3. Subtracted from a startingvalue of 6, this provides a starting Determination of 3. On the other hand, if the hero’s Flight levelwere 7 (for a total of 24 levels), then dividing by 6 yields a value of 4, for a starting Determination of2. Likewise, if the three powers were all level 4, for a total of 14, it yields a value of 3.5, roundeddown to 3, for starting Determination 3.This approach takes relative power level into account, with averages similar to the defaultapproach, but providing a slight edge to heroes with lower overall power levels and charging apremium for those with relatively few powers at high levels. It als provides a fairer measurement for a herowith one ability at 7 vs another with multiple at 6.[/sblock]The article says it... I also saw Superman team-up with Jimmy Olsen, but I wouldn't say they would gain the same "screen time" in what I consider a "typical" supers scenario.Telepathy vs. Super-Strength = 9 apples vs. 9 oranges, yes.But both Wall-Climbing and Flying provide advanced movement options in vertical directions. Give me one sample where someone would say: "We had all those flying heroes, but we really needed one who is really good at climbing...".I sadly cannot help you... for my brain, M&M is easier tha DC Heroes...I think it is partly which systems you already know and how you remember them.BTW, M&M 3e uses a DC Heroes like measurement table <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
