Superhero games have always been a favorite of mine. They bounce between second and third competing with the horror genre for rank. I have played most of the options for superheros at one time or another. I discovered this gem late in the game and it is still on my list of to play games. The only draw back is that I am not a fan of blending superhero and sci-fi at least not in comic books I am not. It is OK when the high tech space faring races and events come to earth but if you take it the other way my interest wanes fairly quickly. The tag line for the game though scares me as a result. I am not sure about a ""A superpowered science fiction role playing game" . Still this is a game I really want to get a chance to play sometime.
From the back of the book:
