A decent power-building system from a mechanical point of view, and a solid example adventure. I'm not a fan of the setting in particular, though, and it does no better than most RPGs at modeling the most troublesome powers, like superspeed.
Regarding the setting, it is largely reminiscent of Shadowrun. The world has changed (superheroes instead of magic and elves), corporations control everything, and the moral landscape is gray. Not my cup of tea, but I'm sure someone out there is looking for exactly this.

A double-sized book, it includes a brand-new superpowers system for Fate that is both simple and flexible, making it the de-facto supers sourcebook for the game. You get all that, plus a pretty interesting setting where supers are sponsored, and the line between hero and villain is very fuzzy indeed.
