Power level might be key. If everyone remains a 50-75 pt normal with only 25 to 50 pts of Exotic Powers there aren't going to be _real_ Supers. You'd have some disproportionately effective abilities but they'd tend to be used in secret either for good or ill. Unless they can be used without controversy for profit.

Now if you get 2000 pt Archetypes (see Gurps Supers) then global effects become almsot unavoidable.
