I think I will put High Command's revisions in a new thread for re-voting.

Before I do that, are there any lingering objections?

His belief is that a TW can take Gadgeteer as an edge. Yes, in the very extreme case of an HJ roll that let's you take any professional edge regardless of pre-requisites.

1) On whether this should be an edge: Only TWs can make TW items (whether they have an edge or not).

Therefore if we wish to avoid this it...

S in Super also makes sure you don't end up with a Grackletooth super spy by locking in either ABs or Cybernetics.

VV

Maybe just make AB Super Powers (Core) one of the options with two powers or a d8 skill or something.

The S in Super is cool.

From my experience running supers SPC powers might run away from you fast and overbalance the IF. Hard to say for sure though.

If you're going for James Bond "Berserk Button" might be "License to Kill".

Jon. I love the super spy colour you put into the re-trapped Crazy.
