Super Hero Role Playing

Games about super powered beings.

Super hero role playing games are games where you get the opportunity to play a super powered character, similar to those characters in super hero comic books.

Depending on the particular game system, there may or may not be back-stories on how your characters came to have their super powers, and these back stories may or may not be relevant. The key indicator of a super hero role-playing game is the special (usually innate) super power (or powers) of your player characters.
