Speaking as someone currently running a superhero game, challenging the heroes is very much an art as each character is different. What is a challenge to a Super ST +10/+100 scrapper with Claws (Armor Divisor (infinite)) and IT:DR /2 is different from what challenges a telepath with Mind Reading, Mind Probe, and Mind Control (Mind Tricks), and both are different challenges from the guy with DR 170 (Hardened 4) and IT:DR /100.

And challenging the brick without pasting the telepath is more a matter of low-damage, high-penetration attacks than high-damage attacks.
