Heroes Unlimited was one of the later entries into the superhero roleplaying market back in the 80's but in my opinion one of the best.
I added my own powers and skills which have changed constantly over the years. I ran 5 campaigns over the years, all of a similar nature based on the Marvel Universe. I ran out of ideas each time finally deciding I couldn't do anymore with each one and just abandoned them.
Then several years later around '95 several things happened; first Image comics did the Team 7 comic which gave me ideas for an entirely new perspective on the superhero world. Secondly upon telling a friend of mine about this title he shoved my face into one of the covers of the now defunct Suicide Squad issues, more ideas!
Finally Champions had been relaunched around this time, now while I didn't really like their rule system they were well known to me for producing excellent sourcebooks. Then Champions Universe came out; a book which gave details on every country and organization on the Champions' Earth.
The comics and the Champions books together gave me the new Heroes campaign which started in '96 and only wrapped up in 2001. In that time it also created a spin off 'Justice Unlimited'; my 1930's campaign borrowing heavily from Justice Inc, Dark Justice, Tintin, Doc Savage, Indiana Jones, Cthulu, etc for adventures
