Strangely enough, TK just becomes more plausible as a source of ST when you look at the related physics. A super with TK 100 [400] would actually be comparable to a super with Super-ST 10 [400]. Of course, the former benefits from range, but it requires concentration, so it balances out.

If you’re looking for an absolute power, which means you never need to check limits or roll dice, and every limiting factor is going to be basically GM’s call, you can simply determine an arbitrary value that feels right compared to utility.

Unfazeable works that way. No reasonable amount of Fearlesness is going to get you there, and it’s completely detached from your actual Will value.

I’d make the character pay for ST20 (as a generic “human limit”) and tack on maybe a 150 Advantage “Unbounded”, depending how big other PCs’ powers are and how much utility you expect out of it.

The Hulk is a fantastic reminder (at least bin the comics) that unbounded ST stops being an advantage at some point. Robin D. Laws excellent Heroquest ruleset models this by giving him huge ST on paper, but only a middling ability to successfully solve problems with it.
