I would take a look at the Speedster template from Supers. There's nothing "realistic" about it, but at least the levels of ability offered there are meant to play nicely together in the kind of game where these kinds of crazy abilities are available.

In the one supers game my group tried to play, by the way, the Speedster seemed ridiculously overpowered compared to characters built on the other 500-pt templates. But that's not because the amount of improved BS was too high relative to the level of ATR, but rather because ATR, Extra Attack and Striking ST work really well together, especially when attached to a guy who's almost impossible to hit.
