Re: Supers and Allies?
I'm in the Alternate Form camp (when the battlesuit is so special-tech-awesome it's not just equipment, as with Iron Man). Is "donning my battlesuit" (especially when it conveniently folds up into a suitcase, just happens to fly up on command, or comes out of nanotech-fluff pocket dimensions) really that different game-wise from changing into a werewolf-cum-combat-form?
I prefer to reserve Allies for actual sentient beings of independent will and motivations -- which, recall, are designed by the GM and not the player, and so aren't just a pile of points for combat abilities.
