Well, as always the Bitter Guide is brilliant. Funny beyond normal levels of reality, perceptive in its nitpickiness and insightful in its... well, you get the point.
I'd never thought about Pratchett's Thief Of Time as a Supers story, but I guess it is, sort of. At least it's not of the 'hit by an atom bomb, now turns green and muscley' variety. The difference is that the 'powers' possessed by the characters aren't the only thing that makes them interesting.
As to the two Year Of The Dung Beetle novels... Game fiction that doesn't suck?! So far as I was aware, such creatures existed only in myth, like the well-developed D&D plot or the angst-less White Wolf game. Perhaps I shall have to take a look...
