Even considerable houserules won't make a game that's going to feel like the Uncanny Xmen or Alpha Flight. Certainly see what you can do with the rules but be critical of whether or not there's a more suitable game system for the story you want.

See, this I disagree with. In my current Marvel game we make liberal use of Action 2: Exploits, Power-Ups 5: Impulse Buys - with each character having a set pool of Action Points that refresh every session - and Gun-Fu, among other cinematic options, and the game feels much more like Avengers or Young Justice than Watchmen.

It probably helps that I said "250 point Action characters before powers", encouraging use of Action 4: Specialists, no real cap on the powers, with "super-normal" power sets available, and superhero uniforms are made of ballistic fabric. I also allow Foresight from the Action Pyramid.
