I think when it comes to superhero games, its probably best not to overthink it.

When I played them back in the 80s. We just wanted to do versions of Marvelman in the Warrior magazine. Or Alphaflight or the Xmen. We weren't really looking at the world it took place in.

I think the world building such as it is, needs to a bit like Dr Who in the 70s. Seemingly set in the 70s but we have super computers, giant robots, alien invasions, dinsoaurs and people seem to take it in their stride. Its an alternate earth. It sort of resembles our world...up to a point.

Yup but it plants its face in the dirt like a meteor round the table.
I do recall stories about the 'Comeliness' stat in early AD&D and how it used to be gamed. But romance?
