I'd just count it as a floating location (though its not floating) and make the teleport only to fixed locations.
 
I had a character which was a bit of a scaredy cat and set their triggered floating teleport point right behind the brick when ever she saw herself being attacked.  This blew up in her face when she was on the edge of the explosion and the brick was in the center.

They got 4 out of 5 xp for the adventure
 
2 for length (2 sessions) 
1 for RPG
1 for challenge
 
missed 1 for solving the who is actually providing the guns (though one player suspects the truth, none have found the evidence yet...)
 

Sure... he has all the money in the world... and trying to bribe the agents works sometimes... and as noted above, sometimes it doesn't. And when the news gets ahold of the fact that his companies are employing known criminals and murderers (the villains let them know) and some take his money and stab him in the back, etc.
 
Also... infinite wealth does not mean, buy anything he wants without repercussions. Also... this is role playing. Doing it once in a while is dramatic. Min-maxing is not, so it doesn't happen. If players don't know how to control themselves for the betterment of the drama, you shouldn't be playing with them.
 
Edit: Or, if he wants to abuse wealth as a power, hit him with a custom power Drain: Infinite Wealth, and suddenly he's broke!

Dr Cramwell Bligh, the Science Guy !
 
This scientist hero took to the streets to defend the common man from the uncommon man and woman. He invented a number of gadgets particularly the electric sword and the Science Pistol (tm and pat pending). He was named by the internet after his identity was leaked. However he is not married and all his immediate family are dead so there is little chance of someone close to him being held hostage or killed by the foes of freedom. He tends to team up with others as he is not foolish enough or overconfident enough to do things on his own. So if there is something strange in the neighbourhood, who is going to analyse it and see if it is a quantifiable threat when he is called about it ? Dr Cramwell Bligh, the Science Guy !

Fanboy
 
Fanboy has the power of COSPLAY.  Whenever he creates a costume he is able to imbue it with psionic energy that makes his make believe into reality.  The picture is of him in his Dr. Science costume, a character of a fan fiction he did based on the 1940's sci-fi heroes of the serials (Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon)

'Mad Davis' McCall
 
How he got this way is uncertain and 'Mad Davis' has been known to go out of his way and kill people who say it was one thing or another. He just is. So don't bother theorising whether he is a mutant, a lab accident, the victim of a curse etc because you will suffer for it. He doesn't mind being referred to as Skeletor or a Skeletor rip off for reasons known only to him. Although being referred to as MD or MDM instead of 'Mad Davis', 'Mad Davis' McCall or Mr McCall can get you killed.
He can pour forth energy usually as some for of blast to do his bidding but nothing on the scale of someone like Firewing for example.  

Bonehead:  
 
When the world still had wild magic he seeked immortality...unfortunatly he got it...however his body continued to age and decompose...now in the modern world he is a celebrity and stage magician...

Beatrice Lyfe was an angry old spinster crone who felt she was always getting dumped on by the world and all the people in it.  (Well, except for that kindly Mr. Peters down the street.  He always had a smile and a kind word for her, even when she was a touch grumpy.)  She would have just lived out the rest of her miserable existence scaring the local kids and glaring at the neighbors, if not for a trickster demon who made her a deal:  Beatrice's immortal soul in exchange for power and immortality. 
 
Beatrice found herself (or more specifically her mind) transplanted into the body of a lich whose mind had been separated from its body and banished into the void millennia ago by a league of heroes.  She now goes around as "Auntie Lyfe" (the press misspells it as "Anti-Life"), terrorizing - and often killing - anybody who gets in her way.  (Well, apart from Mr. Peters.)

This glorious creation came about just as Our years long shadowrun game is running down, and my group is wanting to play Superheroes. I needed a campaign city.., so......They say plagiarism is the highest form of flattery..so feel very flattered.
 
My incarnation has the player characters waking up in the city. . They were at their respective homes, watching the Eclipse them...they wake up in an empty city, with superpowers. I'm thinking story wise, what they don't know yet is that the powers they have are the powers of the failed superheroes in the earlier incarnation of Eclipse City.
 
Eventually, after the campaign has been going a bit, they will find  beneath the utility and service tunnels of Eclipse City where all its marvelous automation is housed is the undercity.....which, with enough deduction, they may recognize as the collapsed ruins  of  an older Eclipse City, that looks to be a decade older...and beneath that one...an even older one.and another..and another..until they cant descend anymore. All sorts of creepy crawlies will migrate to these levels.
 
Thoughts: extra weirdness was that in addition to the city, interstates and other roads were altered to tie the city in; airport databases changed to have the codes for Eclipse Cities multiple airports. Rail lines as well. Might even change a river. This city is just too good to be true, or notu utilized. The cities unique architecture and technology is self powering, further enhancing the popularity of the city with numerous corporations and advanced groups wanting to join this cutting edge city from nowhere that seems to be going somewhere fast.  Its become an instant rival to Millennium City, and there is already a demand for sports franchises to capitalize on it.

more weirdness: being the earliest inhabitants of the cities, the Heroes (and a few other,  but not all early arrivals) have developed Bump of Direction, only in Eclipse City. Its like there is some growing connection....

A troublesome gang has developed, many members seem to be growing more unstable and are developing low level superpowers. Going to call them the Lunartics.

I think we all know what really happens. Character X and character Y both start haymakers on their first action in phase 4. At the end of phase 5, both characters make an attack roll against their opponent (whose DCV is reduced by 5). As the two pound each other, the massive knockback flings them away from each other and through several brick walls (each one adding 8d6 damage) until they fall unconscious embedded in vehicles on opposite sides of the block.

Could potentially use images to represent this ability

Punisher, like Wolfy and Timber Wolf, were at their most interesting when they were That Guy rather than Yet Another Bloodthirsty Killer.  When half of every team is packing huge guns and swords, it sort of loses its charm and unique nature.

John Dresden and Karrin Zatana where in love (took them long enough, everybody else knew it)
John is a mage PI
Karrin was a police detective who dealt with "unusual happenings"
The 2 of them teamed up on many cases
they also made some deadly enemies
one day their enemy struck while the 2 of them where in the shower
Karrin was killed instantly, John was shielded by Karrin's body from the gunfire
John was able kill the assassin as Karrin died in his arms
Later John after a few missions wonders what unnatural forces seems to be helping and protecting him
He finds out it is Karrin's spirit
now the 2 of them still solve mysteries and try to have a relationship

As you say, eyesight already has discriminatory built in, but I like the idea and here's how I'd run it:
 
Watch the TV show Sherlock or the Downey jr Holmes films, not so much for their accuracy to the character and stories, but for how his perception and ability to pick up clues is depicted.  That's how I'd treat it, a sort of super-perception that picked up information better than those around them.  You see blue eyes, he sees certain patterns of blue that are distinct to a kind of genetic condition.  You see a raincoat, he sees stains from a kind of mud and a pattern of wrinkles that indicates sitting for a long period of time.  Discriminatory Sense on eyesight for humans allows easier and quicker gathering of information that is technically available to everyone, but only really noticed by the person who bought it.

I can dig up a build, but basically +STR, +CON,+PD/ED, +BODY; with appropriate modifiers depending on build (ie. "costs END" for a guy that grows, nothing if it is just a big critter but I want it noted that the characteristics are due to size) and then stretching and KB resist if applicable / big enough.  Then a side effect for the increased mass, size, DCV penalty, etc.
 
Part of this is just due to Growth (using HERO Designer) not really listing all of that very well on the character sheet compared to a list or custom power (custom power is somewhat hard to read, but at least lists everything out.)

No. That would be Marmaduk, god of slobering Great Danes.

The books I make for fantasy hero I don't look to as an investment.  I like any money I make from them, and as I did all the work I am not out anything in terms of pay, but I never figured to get rich or anything.  If you like the game and you like writing, you write for the game.  Maybe it will take off, maybe not, but doing it for the hobby is a good thing.

To aid future discussions, should we refer to the restatement of original Champions as Champions Then and the new ruleset as Champions Now?  ?

Example scenario (blatantly stealing an idea from a Warehouse 13 episode):
 
The PCs are attending the local museum's unveiling of their Ancient Cultures exhibit, featuring items from ancient Egypt, Assyria, Babylonia, and Sumeria.  This corresponds with an annual fundraising dinner, so a lot of the city's movers and shakers are there as well.  Caterers, guards, visitors, reporters, students, the well-to-do: a wide selection of people are there.
 
After a bit of the PCs wandering around and the GM describing the various items on display, including a stone statue of Sumerian god Anunnaki and the sarcophagus of the Egyptian 13th Dynasty pharaoh Amehemhet VI, and an odd semi-circular stone that feels like it's vibrating slightly (and visitors are encouraged to touch if they wish).  A section of stone wall, inscribed with hieroglyphs and paintings of Horus and Osirus, separates the Egyptian exhibit from the Sumerian.  The PCs hear Dr. Richard Reynolds, the museum's curator, arguing with an archaeology grad student about the translation on a stone tablet or the stone wall, with the grad student, emphasizing his words by repeatedly poking the tablet / wall with his index finger, when a bright light temporarily blinds everybody, and a wave of energy is released from the stone tablet / wall (giving the PCs their powers, as well as various NPCs).  When everybody can see again, they notice a number of museum visitors / staff / VIPS are gone, replaced with shadowy figures who begin attacking the bystanders and PCs.  (Cue intro fight, with the PCs somehow knowing what types of powers they now have thanks to the spirits that empowered them.)  Any shadowy figures not captured will retreat but not leave the premises.  (Actually, nobody can leave due to a strange energy dome that is now encompassing the museum, erected by the beneficial spirits / deities to help the PCs.)  Their ability to pass through walls should be a pain for the heroes, as well as their ability to temporarily possess innocent bystanders.
 
The PCs eventually learn that the missing people weren't transformed into the shadowy figures (which they might initially suspect), but are instead trapped in the obsidian mirror while the shadow figures were apparently freed from the mirror, which the PCs' research uncovers was actually the shadow figures' prison for millennia.  Also, they PCs learn from their benevolent spirits that when dawn comes, the energy dome will end and the shadowy figures can go anywhere they wish. 
 
The PCs then have to figure out how to re-trap the shadow figures inside the mirror, which will release the innocent people trapped there.  This likely requires capturing all of the shadow figures and bringing them into the room with the obsidian mirror, then performing a ritual of some sort. 
 
That's my rough outline.  Feel free to change / add / ignore whatever you wish.

While in a tavern or other sufficiently public venue, an NPC tries to kill one of the PCs. Before they're able to react, another NPC steps in to defend the targeted Player Character. In the process, the savior NPC gets shanked pretty damn hard; in fact, his wound ends up being mortal. No one knows it, but the dying fellow is a recently retired assassin that wanted nothing more than to spend the rest of his days in peace. The PCs are handed a key to the assassin's villa and are told to "Enjoy the spoils accumulated from a lifetime of indifference and misery" before he shuffles off his mortal coil.
 
Although the main building is handsomely furnished (the PCs can acquire a fair bit of wealth selling off mundane yet expensive objects), most of the interesting stuff is placed within a seven-story hexagonal tower that sits adjacent to the residence. What makes the tower so special is that its foundation/walls incorporate meteoric iron; as such, it cannot be breached by mystical attempts to spy within. One of these floors contains a room that is equal parts art gallery and library/study. Mounted on the wall in this connoisseur's delight is an oil painting of a beautiful woman wearing a short gown adorned with bits of precious metals, semiprecious stones, and a few belts...who also appears to be in a state of distress. Further examination reveals slightly pointed ears which indicate she is half-elven. It turns out that the subject of this artwork is a living being trapped inside by a powerful spell. There is a solution to free her hidden within the room, but doing so poses a great risk to the party. Unbeknownst to them, this lady is minor nobility and a sorceress of ill repute; she used her talents to enchant and subsequently enslave others to follow her will. Once freed, she spends some time reeling from the aftereffects of magical suspended animation while pleasantly lavishing quiet praise on the PCs for saving her. In truth, she is observing each one of them in order to determine their value and whether she should charm them, kill them, or attempt to escape sight unseen.
 
What i'm having trouble with is deciding the why; specifically, why she is locked into a painting in the assassin's villa. One thought that comes to mind is that she was a "mark" that the assassin couldn't kill (either because she was too tough a nut to crack or because he had a minor crisis of conscience) but could sequester away thanks to a single-use artifact he had on hand. Another explanation is that she was a client whose cruelty disgusted even the hired-killer who, at the time, had started growing a conscience. He ended up pushing her into a prepared painting she planned to use on a victim (a nobleman's daughter) the assassin had brought to her (she knew of his underworld reputation as a man that could find anyone, but also sensed that he lacked the subtle ferocity he formerly possessed, and so used him to bring the offspring of an aristocratic rival to her domain). After freeing the daughter, the assassin took the painting back to his sanctuary for safe keeping.

I'm known by many names.  The Great Geezer.  The Wheezer.  Myself, I prefer the Gray Ghost.  Y'see, my grandson's the original Grim Reaper.  Took down druggies and mob types like nobody's business.  Then one day, he bit off more than he could chew.  Found him lying in the alley behind my apartment building, shot all to hell, but he still managed to dodge his pursuers and dragged himself home.   Lemme tell you, it was a shock to see him in his Reaper outfit, but believe you me, I was just damn glad he was still breathing.  I got him inside, called a retired doc friend of mine to come over and patch him up.  Yeah, couldn't take him to a hospital - they gotta report gunshot wounds. 
 
So, while my boy's recuperating, I decided to fill his boots.  Hey, I may be on the other side of the hill, but I ain't dead yet!  I was in the Marines, served in Korea, and still keep myself pretty fit.  I know how to handle myself.  And it's only for a few months until he's back on his feet and ready to kick punk butt again.  Okay, so I threw in a little too much bleach when I tried to wash the blood out of his Reaper suit, and it kinda turned out a little brighter than before.  Hey, I kinda like it.  Who knows, maybe once my grandson's up to snuff, he can make a new suit for himself, and we can be partners. 

I had a kid in a campaign I ran ten years ago. And I upgraded his animal shapeshifting to any animal he could think of from a yugioh card or anime if he had an example to show me.
 
The team gets kidnapped to another planet by their old enemies, the Octomen, to be executed. They were under power restraints. One of the guys couldn't be restrained in this manner. He breaks the restraint on shapechanging kid. Shapechanger says I turn into the Cabbit, then spaceship. He wrecks the building, saves the team, and flies out of there while putting holes in their fleet.
 
I was like okay, good job on that.

Source code is only if you want to tinker with it yourself or build apps that pull from the various exports HD can do.
 
You only need to buy the core HD software to make characters and prefabs and such.
 
It really is invaluable and very, very complete.

Bird Brain
 
Not pleased with WiiiaW (see above post from DT),  Dianinah Dreka joined the Anarchists to provide some much appreciated curves to the team.
 
Her power is low level harmonics that can cause the target to become forgetful and just wander around.  with effort Dianinah can affect more than one person so she can easily rob jewelry stores of their goods.
