i know the old VILLIANS & VIGILANTIES game system was set up for you to use 
"you" as the base, then you rolled your super powers from there.

i don't know about ice, but maybe antifreeze to an arab. he hee heee.
marketing is half of everything, look how some of their systems have died 
too. and with COC D20 (by WOTC) comming out soon, it'll be interesting to 
see how us die hard "old" COC players like it as well (shame they couldn't 
beat DECYPHER to the STAR TREK contract. i would personally love to see an 
ST D20 system).

makes me wonder how the open license works as far as game mechanics are 
concerned. as each d20 system has their own unique elements (and i doubt if 
WOTC has considered anything similiar to the fighter combat rules i'm sure 
we'll see in DEAD FROM ABOVE (exccept maybe in STAR WARS), i wonder if other 
companies will be able to freely "copy" those rules to use with another 
system.

45k and about 50 various RPG'ers.
