Just because you're the smartest person in the room doesn't make everyone else an idiot.

I've always viewed the lack of a Psych Comp regarding killing (either way) as being similar to a soldier or a good cop. They aren't looking to take anyone out, but there are circumstances when they will use lethal force.

And do not forget "mind control someone". That is what services are, after all.

Disney is the one company I think can get away with starting their own streaming service, simply because they have so much existing IP. Amazon can leverage their other businesses, and Netflix has their current customer base. Everyone else has an uphill fight.

There is a Stinging Insect Swarm in the Hero System Bestiary (pg 489).

Maybe not a gun as such, but a reference for guns.

It depends on the character. They didn't lose them much, but they were at least moderately competent without them.

I've been fiddling around with my copy. The good news is that my first attempt at semi-randomly creating a character required only minor tweaking to bring it in at 400 points. The bad news is that it didn't result in a viable character (weak defenses, limited mobility, questionable CV). Building a second version helped some, but it required a lot more fiddling, and it still has a low CV.
 
I guess what I'm trying to say is that the cards are some help, but they might work best if you follow their guidelines (I wasn't).

Actually not taking the complication on the basis that the complication is not to impede the character in-game is a means by which players define their characters.  From 6e v1 p 414
 
 
This player is sending a message to the GM that the only aspect of this character's missing limb which should arise in-game is that he is recognizable.  He is not physically impeded.  His choice of a DF for this complication is perfectly legitimate within the game context, and this is a means by which the player can define his character.
 
A further thought - the "one armed man who only looks distinctive, but can achieve anything a two-armed man could do" can be viewed as having the Complication "only has one arm" and having spent the points from that complication on "penalty skill levels - offset all penalties that would apply for having only one arm".  This is an extension of the logic cited a few times above of buying extra STR only to offset the STR reduction for a one-armed grab. 
 
Another approach is "only has one arm" offset by "extra limbs" (defined as using other parts of his body to offset the missing arm, such that he effectively does have two arms).  "Missing a limb" offset by "extra limbs" is an example specifically provided in the 6e rules (legs in that case) of a complication which should not be allowed.  The combination of the power and the complication offset each other, so there should neither be a power purchased nor a complication obtained.  The two leave the character exactly as capable as a baseline character - no more, and no less - so there is no impact on character points.

The canonical way to do this is with a Transform (Negative Space Wedgie into Swords). However, unless the character is routinely making swords for distribution, I'd treat the leftover swords as a special effect.

Pathfinder is not D&D, but they're related closely enough to make any relationship between them downright creepy.
 
 

Things that an Extra Limb is good for:
Grabbing and Holding multiple opponents Using 2-handed weapons and a shield Manipulating more than 2 objects at a time Surprise HtH combat maneuvers Cheating at cards Also, in 6e (and perhaps as early as 4e), the cost is 5 points.

I had one like on a post that day, assuming everything was archived.

The last supers game I ran, I ruled that Pushing cost Long-Term Endurance. The players really thought hard about pushing, and, when they did push, it felt appropriately heroic.

I voted for, "Setting Book" because Hero really doesn't have one. The Champions Universe is owned by Cryptic (or whoever bought them). A new setting would also be new material, which is more likely to sell to Hero's existing customer base than a reprint of 6e.
 
What I'd really like to see is for Hero Games to set up a Patreon project similar to what Evil Hat did for FATE. Hero fans chip in a few bucks a month, Hero produces a steady stream of new material, and Hero Games starts looking like a going concern again. (Of course, there's probably some reason why they aren't doing this already, but I am not privy to their reasons.)

The, "Stun Lotto" was the problem.
