The Marvel Super-Hero Adventure Game.  It's a diceless RPG produced by WotC
that is set in the Marvel Comic Universe.  It uses a Fate Deck to create
characters and to perform actions.  All powers and skills default to one of
four suits, and you can play cards from your hand to add to the assigned
value of your abilities.  If you get the trump suit, you get another card
from the deck, etc.

I don't explain it well, but it's cool.  Unfortunately it was recently
canned by WotC.  They put it on a shelf for almost a year while working on
the (crappy) X-Men CCG, then canned all the products they had in the
pipeline for it.  Lots of people on the list are supremely p.o.'ed about
this customer relations debacle (i.e. the guy in Customer Service assured us
every month for almost a year that the game was not cancelled and would be
coming back in a "new exciting format" that never saw the light of day).

So now I'll just spend all my money on new BNW stuff instead.  :)
