Having some taboo traits is a limitation, but it's a pretty small one. It's not that hard to create a 'normal' who can beat most supers (the exception is abilities with no mundane counter, such as insubstantial in a setting without devices that can affect them -- and abilities with no mundane counter do normally call for an unusual background).
