Detect that lets you see your target?
I'm starting a supers game, and one of my players wants the ability to see supers, even if they're invisible or in darkness. He already has Detect (Powers) with Precise, so a successful Sense roll will allow him to know exactly what hex his target is in. Would there be a reasonable price for an enhancement along those lines on Detect? Alternatively, what would be reasonable limitation values for thinks like See Invisible, Dark Vision, etc. only applying to targets of his Detect?

Re: Detect that lets you see your target?
I'd stick with Detect, See Invisible (Supers) is probably more points given he already has the Detect.
I target such things towards Special Effect (light bending powers) or Source (Mutants) rather than a broad category such as Supers unless all Supers are the same in the setting. Precise allows a ranged attack, maybe round out with Discriminatory or Profiling for more details.

Is there a place that says Discriminatory or Profiling can be used for Detect and what they mean in that case? |

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.

As a related question, if it does work that way, would it function as 360 Vision for the sole purpose of attacking and defending against supers? |

It doesn't, but if you add Precise it apparently would. |

With a turn of concentration and a successful detect-sense roll you can sense and target Powered people, even if you have absolutely no other way to sense them, whether due to cover, darkness or invisibility. However you will need a successful analysis roll to tell who is who between different Powered People you can't otherwise sense, which mean you could end up attacking an ally with friendly fire!
