Champions

Champions is the Hero System superhero genre. It was the first, and still most popular setting for the Hero rules; to many, "Champions" and "Hero System" are synonymous. It is also the most popular superhero rules system, largely due to the flexible character and power design rules, necessary to create superheroes, who, by definition, go beyond normal bounds. Champions is also the name of the superhero genre book for the Hero System Fifth Edition, to be written by Aaron Alliston.
