Supers World Building

I like this setting a lot, and need to read this forum more instead of just GURPS. :)

IMHO at least one of the six Class As is probably Unaging... You could have individuals who've been around from the beginning, but only grown into Seriously Bad News by the 70s if you wanted, instead of or in addition to a general trend toward more uber among emerging supers...
