Yea, I'd say 8d or 9d max.

Ultrapower is really a GM fiat as written. It is almost an accepted play style for every player (doesn't cost points) as opposed to a power.

Ok. Even in the movies though he goes in space and doesn't seem to mind cold or heat in anyway. Not sure we seen any high pressure exposure but it is very much iconic Supes that he is not affected by him. It's hard to keep him in the same point range as others as his powers are so broadly diverse.

Ok :)

Of course, if it turns into a grappling match, he'll crush her somewhat slowly.
If he's tactically wise and doesn't wish to engage, he can do a pretty neat job just frying her with heat vision while flying too. Slams also favor him greatly.

Supes generally doesn't really fight tactically and from a power perspective, it should be the other way around. If WW doesn't fight smart, she will lose. She is a better fighter but doesn't pack the same puch nor can she absorb as much. Of course, as you point out below, if they are player characters, WW must have other areas where she can out shine Supes. I just don't believe it should be in a slug fest.

In any case, it makes for poor party balance when you intentionally create a PC that can take on everyone else single-handedly.

Understood!

Well done all considered!
