This time it might really work!
I have decided to try FATE as the game system with Venture City providing most of the framework for powers. I may also make use of some of the ideas in Daring comics and also the origins, and playbooks from Worlds in Peril.
I really like the simplicity of Venture City, very quick and easy to build a character. The playbooks in WiP offer a path to explore the nature of the hero character to avoid the game just becoming a very long fight sequence.
