One of the odd things about GURPS is that it is actually fairly easy to kill Superman. With IQ 12 [40], Will 20 [40], Cosmic 4 [60], and Neutralize (Cosmic, +300%; Malediction 3, +200%; No Signature, +20%; Power Theft, +200%; Ranged, +40%; Reliable, +10, +50%; Selectivity, +10%) [460], you can actually take his powers from him without difficulty and then utterly kill him with them during the next moment (because you are temporarily Superman). While you would probably want a 1,000 CP character to support such a massive ability, you could use it against any superhuman with an associated source (even Cosmic). Paradoxically, Batman would likely still win.

So, how would you use a super with the ability to kill Superman (or any other insanely powerful super)? Would you have them as a secret anti-super weapon? A hero? A villain?
