k, on the Batman/Superman notes:

Superman: " . . . through Specific Scientific Inquiry" Well, we do know from the most Up-to-Date Continuity that Jor-El did research the effects of Earth's Solar Radiation on Kryptonians. His research was one of the main reasons he sent Kal-El to earth, because he knew what effect the Radiation would have on his son. In a sense then, he was exposing his sun purposefully to a scientific process in order to give him powers, much like the Hulk origin shown in the most recent Hulk movie, save that Jor-El's reasons were much more benign.
Still going Science on this one.

Batman: I would say his Origin has changed numerous times over his career. For example, in the years following the campy TV show, and somewhat in the more recent movies, he does use ALOT of gadgets, suggesting a Tech origin. On the other hand, read him as written by Chuck Dixon or some of the others. In that mode as detective/martial artist, he's a Natural. Different writers takes on the same character suggest different origins. Marvel's Falcon is another example. He seemed to be a Tech hero for years, until Professor Xavier revealed that he was at least a low-level Mutant (his ability to communicate with his bird, and eventually some writers took that to mean all birds)

for my two most played characters:

Samhain, 19 Illusion/Kinetic Controller: "Trick or Treat, Scum" (Samhain is an ancient precursor to Halloween. Make sense now? good.)

Blitzyklon, 10 Kinetic/Electric Defender: "RIDE THE LIGHTNING!!!"

I change em up every so often. Blitz for example is german in origin, so I throw in german phrases every so often. "Wir haben keine zeit!!" stuff like that

It could very well be that he is a Mutant. His powers could all be psionic in nature (i.e. TK for flight, strength and a TK shield for invulnerabitliy). His "Inner Will" could be nothing more than a euphimism for unleashing his innate powers which he was born with, thus, a Mutant (go back and reread the Mutant origin as the game defines it)

and btw, I agree that the Natural origin seems to fit those heros with no powers other than above average human abilities, e.g. Batman, Nightwing, Punisher, etc.

Superman would be a Science origin, as an alien. He was NOT born with those powers, but gained them through a scientific reaction he underwent throughout his childhood, due to exposure to a foreign (our) sun. In his NATURAL habitat, he would have had no powers, and would have been a normal creature like you or I.

His powers are from exposure to an energy source which was Alien to him, even though he was living on this planet from an early age.
