Project Nemesis is a fan driven website for games that use the One-Roll Engine (like Nemesis, Wild Talents, Reign and Monsters) or Chaosium's Basic Roleplay System (BRP) (like Call of Cthulhu) and the Delta Green setting.
I read Adam Warren’s Empowered recently and enjoyed it. It’s a
catalogue of a series of existential crises of a lowly super-heroine
who is an F-list junior or associate member of an A-list superteam.
While the story revolves around Empowered’s successes and failures fighting in the big leagues, it is also about her self-image and a penetrating view of the unspoken stupidity of taken-for-granted elements of the super-hero subgenre.
Think of it as a super-soap opera lampoon.
Now I'm trying to stat her up for WT.
Note: I’m using BaileyWolf’s UA-esque DIY skills. As such I am removing 50 points from the 250 base. I’m also using the Expert Dice (ed) alternative option to Hard Dice. Check Wild Talents page 10.

SKILL DESCRIPTIONS
Blueberry Pancakes is Emp’s cooking skill.
Bounce & Clap Hands [Comm] is the Inspiration and Persuasion skill.
Pout & Cry [Cool] is Emp’s stability skill, a distracting
technique, and an expression of her insecurities. It works on a sexual
and emotional level.
Wear Supersuit is Emp’s ability to switch on and use her harshly
revealing suit. This is only a hyperskill because she will always
succeed in switching it on even though it costs an action. As a normal
human she cannot spend her own Willpower.
Zap Power Bolts allows Emp to shoot power bolts from her suited hands.
She gets bonus dice from her Power Bolts (+2ed), which add to her Zap
skill roll.
Think of it as a super-soap opera lampoon.
