Spectrum Games proudly announces the release of the Superpower Handbook, the second supplement for the Four-Color Heroics roleplaying game.

While the Four-Color Heroics Core Rulebook states that there is no definitive list of Powers in the game, the Superpower Handbook presents a list of *possible* Powers. You can implement them verbatim if you wish or simply use them as a starting point for creating your own Powers.

• Loads of Powers, divided into six convenient categories.

• Special Rules for each Power that enable you to make it truly your own.

• Examples of Powers built from the frameworks provided by the stock Powers.

• Advice for customizing the Powers to better suit your vision.

You can purchase the Superpower Handbook here.
