However, the key with NPCs is not so much their point value as it is the final numbers. Do you want a guy with Guns (Pistol)-12, Brawling-12, and a .357 Magnum revolver (a veteran street thug); a guy with Karate-14, Innate Attack (Breath)-16, and a flame jet attack doing 6d×2 burn var (Fire Lad of the Legion of Substitute Heroes); a guy with an Alternate Form (Stone) that gives Super ST 20/110, DR 20, and Numb (Stone Boy of the Subs); or a girl with Insubstantiality (Partial; Reflexive) and Karate-16 (Shadowcat at age 16)?

Yes. :)
Any of those would work. I just know my own design style, and I want to be surprised by some cool ideas I may not have thought of. And I gave the non-powers points to give them attributes and skills that fit their concept.
A 700 pt henchman would utterly destroy the whole party of 50 - 200 pt mostly* regular folks who make up the dimension hopping party. I want guys that they have to
really work at trying to take out, possibly one at a time, with locals helping to gang up.
* They have access to some minor magic and modern weapons, but only a couple have any military background.
