		Yes the GURPS Supers rules were pretty bad, but the new ones are still pretty bad.

	Gurps: Supers and Psionics... [Archive] - RPGnet Forums
		Gurps Supers already suggest the idea that some Supers might explain their powers via psionics, such as "Captain Legume's power to mentally control plants".
		Gurps Psionics rules doesn't really cover Super-Psi tricks like the scene in Akira where the super-psionic replaces his lost arm with one made out of raw materials he found all over the place.
		And the closest thing Gurps Supers offers as a way of handling Magneto's types of Power is the Magnetism Power Group, which includes Bind, Magnetize, Surge and Metal TK, which is basically just Psionic's Telekinesis with the limitation "Only works on metal".

	RPGnet: The Inside Scoop on Gaming
		GURPS Supers is a sourcebook for those who would like to run a superhero game using Steve Jackson Games' GURPS game system.
		The author has tried valiantly to adapt the world of comics to the "realistic" GURPS system, but the inherent flaws in GURPS are only exacerbated by trying to expand it to cover the near-infinite number of powers and abilities in the superheroic genre.
		The sidebar material scattered randomly through the book in typical GURPS fashion also has some interesting and useful suggestions for superheroic characters and campaigns, and although the placement of this material in the book has little rhyme or reason, the excellent index makes it easy to find something once you know what you're looking for.

		Supers, of course, has rules for additional powers not already covered in the book.
		That is, a +1/4 advantage in Hero is "one level" of enhancement in GURPS.

	What is wrong with GURPS Supers? - RPGnet Forums
		I do use GURPS a lot, and it seems to be pretty good (even very good) with most genres (well, maybe not if you like level-based systems).
		I think GURPS could be an excellent basis for a Supers expansion.
		The tenuous balance of GURPS holds at low point totals, but the advantages of jacking up statistics and buying half point skills is obvious at very high point totals.

	HERO GAMES Discussion Boards - View Single Post - GURPS Supers Characters
		Cascade comes from "GURPS Super Scum", and isn't a bad character for the most part (especially when compared to most of the characters in the book).
		Very few GURPS characters have a HT (health) score of over 14, and using the same formula as DEX results in CONS of 14-18 -- usually far too low for the average Champions character (on the flip side, few GURPS characters pay END for their powers).
		In some cases, the GURPS power gives an absolute (for example: power X totally prevents event Y from happening), which is nearly impossible to simulate in HERO.

		One particular fl stripe forms a circle on his forehead, thus, the name Zero Man. He is about six feet tall with a very thick, muscular build.
		Of the super powers he has exhibited, he can fly as supersonic speeds in an atmosphere and faster than light in space.
		He is highly resistant to damage from physical and energy attacks, and has a knack with his energy sword, the only item that survived the ship's explosion along with him.

		GURPS STR is linear (20 STR is twice as strong as a 10 STR, 40 is as twice as strong as 20 etc.), while Hero is exponential (each 5 points of STR is doubles your lifting capacity).
		Note that some GURPS Physical Limitations may or may not be consider "valid" limitations by Hero GMs.
		Note that GURPS skills often have numbers that far exceed the typical 3-18 range that Hero uses.

		One of the things I love about this system is the ability to personalize a character as you want...as complex or simplistic as you will...and always be compatible and balanced with a similarly-leveled group.
		Now, with regard to the supers genre, some will decry GURPS for being "un-comic book like", as the combat system is extremely realistic.
		If, however, 60s-70s era Super Friends-type play is what you're after, the Stun Points & related optional rules easily bring your characters into line with what you want.
