He is an emperor like none who ever held power, a wise man to whom others are but a servant, a king of truth and a leader of power. He is not a warrior, but a wizard.
—’Muad’Dib: The God King of Arrakis’ by the Princess Irulan
AI: The Lost Irulan
It was once our Emperor Shaddam I was born. Shaddam I was a great warrior. He was a mighty ruler, a mighty warrior. His enemies could not stand against a warrior like Shaddam. And he had no enemy of the first rank. But his enemies were his friends.
—from ‘Manual of Muad’Dib’ by the Princess Irulan

This is excellent.
Superhero 2044 – Stars Without Number Heroic
Stars Without Number Revised also has options for Heroic Characters … as does the First Edition with Mandata Archive Stellar Heroes. Possibly combine the advantages there.
So those would be good to tweak if going the route of joining these two games.
There are a couple of d20 Superhero games like Deeds Not Words and Guardians, too.

Robert Kurcina above is updating Superhero 2044.
In Superhero 2044 there are three types of characters in the rules :-
Characters in Superhero 2044 – Thoul’s Paradise
Ubermensch – Batman
Toolmasters – Iron Man
Uniques – The Flash
The thought I had this morning is that you can map those onto the three basic types in Kevin Crawford’s Stars Without Number.
Stars Without Number Revised Edition Character Creation
Warrior
Expert
Psychic
These would map :-
Ubermensch – Warrior
Toolmaster – Expert
Psychic – Unique
Faction rules etc could then map into the patrolling system for Superhero 2044.
The Hazard IPSP ISIS Map has 1800 hexes of Australia and Oceania and Inguria as a good starting point, too.
