Alternately, something like a high Fist! skill in a campaign with Wildcard points and the assumption she burns wildcard points in her big fight scenes.
This is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. Thank you! About to check it out!

Toss in Wildcard Points and/or Destiny Points with which to buy success or trade for more energy at 25 energy/point. Maybe limit uses of such extra effort to whatever the wildcard skills and Destiny actually cover.

That can severely reduce the points needed for certain kinds of supers.
This is a totally awesome idea. I suppose this could potentially make for a very gritty Supers campaign.
