I mistakenly posted this in the Hero System Discussion board, maybe I'll have better luck here.

My players and I are a bit confused on the use of the Power Advantage Cumulative with the Suppress Power.

The description for Suppress describes it as open ended and cumulative (page 145), which would leave no reason to add Cumulative to the power. The Adjustment Powers text, however, cites Suppress as a power that might use Cumulative (page 75). Similarly, Drain is used in a sidebar example for Cumulative in the Power Advantages section (page 163), despite the fact that the FAQ disallows the pairing.

Is this all a big mix up, or are open ended Adjustment Powers usable with the Cumulative Advantage? And if so, what is the effect?

First, I suggest you check the errata. IIRC, I got rid of an example or two because they were invalid. Any text suggesting a pairing of Suppress and Cumulative is probably also erroneous.
