Battlesuit
Not all superheroes have their powers innately granted. This character type grants a character a battlesuit that provides.

If you desire the 3 point/level version, in which case your 'powersuit' can be taken away in comat, gain a level of Highly Skilled every level in which you gain an Item Of Power.
Powers you may put into the Item Of Power: Armor, Atack Combat Mastery, Block Power, any Combat Technique, Computer Scanning, Elasticity (for 'telescopic punches'), Extra Arms, Extra Defenses, Flight, Force Field, Heightened Awareness, Heightened Senses (for sensors), Hyperflight, Illusion (hologram generators), Immovable, Invisibility, Jumping, Massive Damage, Mind Shield, Power Defense, Projection, Regeneration, Sensory Block, Special Attack, any Special Defense, any Special Movement, Superstrength, Tunnelling, or Water Speed.

Chambarac
These monks embody the best of ancient traditions -- or just know how to fight very well. Unfortunately, all these mystic powers don't leave a lot of time for book learning...
The main weapon of the Chambarac is their 'chi blast': a burst of energy created from the figther's spirit. At level 1, this is a Special Attack: 2d6+4 damage, with the Accurate enhancement and the Melee limitation. As the character advances, he will improve his chi blast.
The level of Flight on the Chambarac's progression is the 4 points/rank version.
Five times on the table, the Chambarac may pick a 'Special Maneuver'. These are four-point packages of themed bonuses. When you gain a Special Maneuver, pick one of these packages:

Feral
The Feral character is a human gone wrong, whether by birth or accident of radiation. As they grow to accept their increasingly inhuman nature, they become more and more powerful, in a purely effective, animalistic way.
The Special Defenses and Special Movements are the 1 point/rank versions.
Examples of Feral superheroes: The Beast (who qualified for this class after taking a few levels of Powerhouse and Superscientist), Cheetah, Kraven.

Superscientist
The character is a very knowledgable person. Unlike the Gadgeteer, who gains powers like Power Flux and Item Of Power, the Scientist is more rooted in 'reality' (well, as real as it gets in your favored theme of comics, anyhow).
The Organizational Ties power is assumed to be the 2 points/rank version. If the character takes the 1 point/rank version, gain an extra level of Highly Skilled whenever you gain that attribute. If the character takes the 3 point/rank version, lose four skill points every level you gain that attribute.
The Henchmen power is assumed to be the 1 point/rank version -- it represents the character's contacts and understudies in the scientific world. You must take buy the Henchmen power a second time with your own free points if you want combat-ready henchmen.
