Excerpt: 

Every playsheet is based on the style of a particular type of hero, providing a collection of superpowers around a theme, i.e. the "Frost" style has moves relating to ice & cold, while the "Mystery" is based around mental powers. The moves in the playsheets for this hack mainly focus on the strictly mechanical aspects of the heroes' superpowers, but there is far more to the heroes than that. Every playsheet describes a particular style of superhero, such as the speedster, magician, energy blaster and so on. It is a given for every hero that they possess the powers implied by that style: for example, it is assumed that the Blink can run very quickly without including a move on their playsheet that specifically says so.
