The Supercrew is an RPG about superheroes written by Tobias Radesater. It's a rules-light system that I've really been enjoying lately. I hope to run a campaign or one-shot soon.
You can also look at The Fortress of Solid-Rules for more Supercrew goodness.
Here are some character and opponent write-ups that I have done.
Twenty-one heroes are named in The Supercrew book, besides The Supercrew themselves.

The Minutemen
For Golden Age Superheroes, like the Minutemen (1938 - 1949), I've dropped the 3 die ability and the Re-roll trick for beginning characters to better model the two-fisted, limited scope of the era. Abilities are reduced to skills and equipment. However, attacks and attributes are possible but severely limited. Super powers and control are completely dropped since few superheroes of that time could fly or lift the Titanic. Supercrew heroes still earn Hero Points using their 1 die ability but that translates to an extra die to roll (akin to the Anecdote bonus) during play, with maximum 1 Hero Point per action.
