@Sylvan Nope, what're its strengths?

@SkunkyLass - Primarily it handles the full range in power from young Robin and Sgt. Rock all the way up to silver-age Superman and Darkseid.

It uses an exponential ranking system and has just a pair of tables for how things relate to one another when coming into conflict/opposition.

Yes: Darkseid will obliterate Sgt. Rock without difficulty, but in a single system, they manage to handle every power-level of Supers games.

@SkunkyLass - It also codifies things most game systems don't: how much "Knowledge" is covered by an Int score of "10"?

Their gadgetry system is Okay but well-explained.

It was also the first I found that used "Hero Points" to not only advance a character in power/skill but those same points can be spent to modify rolls in play. Very flexible!

@SkunkyLass - Sadly, it's been out-of-print for quite a few years, now. They got sued out of existence by DC Comics/Warner Bros.

But old copies can still be found on Ebay and even Amazon. (I've bought several so I have back-ups.) :)

@Sylvan Nice! If I'm ever in the mood for a crunchy game I'll try it. But the reason MASKS is my favorite is that it concentrates far less on power levels and far more on how a teen superhero melodrama works in terms of character motivations, relationships and negative emotions, which is stuff I very rarely see a game dedicate itself to at all, much less do it as well as this system does.

@Sylvan That said, I got a game coming up that's less about feelings so I might rec this to the group. Thanks!

@SkunkyLass - I love games like that! The old "Teenagers From Outer Space" was awesome that way and, these days, I use "FATE" for games like that. :)
