Re: The Spy Factory
Welp, this is a deep subject.
Champions Universe says that MetaHumans have been around since the 1940's (more or less). In a universe with telepaths, important government building would have psi-jammers built in (Ego Defense, Area Effect, 0 end or with a back up end battery). Individual important people will have there own portable jammers (ego defense, 0 end, IIF wristwatch). AND to make life more interesting, "Detect Telepathy, targeting sense" for the building: try to read the minds of the people in there and someone in security will know it's being tried, and where you're trying from.
As for technology, for the villians I always used "what the plot requires".
For the players, James Bond makes a good guideline for the super-scientist.
