Is there a place that says Discriminatory or Profiling can be used for Detect and what they mean in that case?
GURPS Powers: Enhanced Senses is the definitive work on senses, though you have to really read it to pick up all the references and nuggets. I'd have liked a table or appendix to summarize the modifiers and how they apply.
Page 8 is the best effort at this and covers this.
Profiling is +50% (Powers,p. 47) and page 6 in Enhanced Senses indicates Analyzing is equivalent to Discriminatory.

And yeah if everyone has the same source this works. Typical comics have multiple sources in the setting.
