Re: [FAQ] Section 0. Before you start using GURPS . . .

Be aware that many fictional characters (such as those from comic books and movies) are often portrayed inconsistently, and translating them into GURPS requires resolving these inconsistencies (just how strong is The Hulk?)."
I suggest you remove the section about infinitely powerful abilities. This is a nuanced point that requires being familiar with the GURPS rule set. I don't think many players start off thinking they can make anything "infinitely" powerful, and what counts as infinitely powerful (such as absolute fire resistance) may surprise them.

Thanks. Good point.
