I see your point there, after looking at the Accessibility table in Powers... Okay--"Unique" can be taken off, since there's a reasonably large number of Hyuuga, so that reduces the chance of "Byakugan plot relevance" occuring in any given adventure from 100% to ~67% (Pow99). I don't think that's too implausible--after all, we never hear anything about the rest of the Hyuuga ninja, and it's entirely possible that they're targeted in two out of every three missions by bounty hunters. Maybe there's an entire bounty hunter organization dedicated to plotting the movements of Hyuuga ninja outside the Village's walls, since the Byakugan is so valuable...

Wolverine doesn't get points for people trying to steal them becasue they're gadgets. He does get points for enemies.

To turn your own reasoning on its heel, you don't get points for having drinkable blood because it's less than 5% likely (Pow99) that your blood will be drunk in any given adventure, unless there are a lot of vampires in your game world.

Wolverine's adamantium can't be removed in a matter of seconds (unless you're Magneto), and I doubt that it could be reused. Also, is Wolverine a target of bounty hunters specifically for his adamantium? (Forgive my ignorance--I don't follow Marvel much...)
