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.
I'd somewhat agree that GURPs needs a few extra tweaks if you want your game to be more cinematic and handle a broader range of power in the same manner that Marvel or DC does.

Fortunately, I've found a set of tweaks that work well for our cinematic gaming without requiring too much change.
