I agree that you get more info for less money with Abberant and Marvel. DC
I'd argue. But I also have to point out here that BNW is at least
interesting, as opposed to the three listed above, which suck.

Just my opinion.

Personally I've always said that if you want to play a Superheroes game,
play Champions. There's no reason to play any other. If you want super
powered _humans_, play BNW.

Again.. just my opinion.
