Superlatives is a superhero roleplaying game released in 2020 after a 2018 Kickstarter campaign.
The game uses a form of continuous character creation based upon recording your character’s previous achievements (and failures) from which your characters’ ability to perform subsequent feats are extrapolated.
Although the game is setting neutral, there are several official settings available to Kickstarter backers which the author has indicated will eventually be published for wider consumption.

It is supported by the [[https://superlatives30882206.wordpress.com/ author’s blog]] and can be found [[https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/315011/Superlatives-Core-Rulebook here.]]
!! Superlatives contains examples of:
* NinetiesAntiHero: Thief Man isn’t exactly the sort of hero you would expect to see in the [[TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks/UsefulNotes silver age]]. Shiv Man, ([[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a hero who fights with a shiv]]) may fit as well, although he tries to be more likable than is normal for this trope.
* AlternateContinuity: One way to interpret the game’s multiple settings.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Perfectly possible to create, and the core bestiary includes [[SuperLoser Robert “The Rat King”]], [[HiredGuns Black Dog]] and Dragon Man.
*AxeCrazy: [[FightClubbing Major Devastation]], [[ReligiousHorror Sister Dismal]], [[MixAndMatchMan Graverobber]] and [[DreamWeaver Silence]].
* BadassNormal: A few sample characters, like Agent Romeo or [[HiredGuns Doctor Death]]. More generally players are able to swap out superpowers for skillpoints.
* BewareTheSuperman: If you believe the [[OrwellianEditor official history]] of The City setting the local dictator [[World’sStrongestMan Supreme]] started out this way.
*BlueAndOrangeMorality: [[MundaneMadeAwesome Karen F Staples]], whose moral code is based upon the employee handbook of a stationary retailer.
*BombThrowingAnarchists: Flare.
* CaptainErsatz: As usual for superhero works, there are a few here.
**[[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething Sea Star]] stands in for [[ComicBook/Namor]] and [[ComicBook/Aquaman]].
**[[Fiction500 Visionary]] and [[TautologicalTemplar Captain Liberty]] stand in for [[ComicBook/IronMan Iron Man]] and [[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica Captain America]] respectively
* CaptainSuperhero: Surprisingly rare given many of the characters have military training, although the Ultra Base setting includes Captain Indominable and Nightworld Captain Liberty.
**Parodied with Chief Petty Officer Perfection- a minor character mentioned in the Opportunity setting.
* CelebrityMasquerade: [[PlayingWithFire Red Arrow]] is a famous actor who uses his acting skills to infiltrate criminal conspiracies before breaking out his superpowers.
* ClarkKenting: Ariadne’s identity is nominally secret, even though she just wears CivvieSpandex and CoolShades.
* CodeName: Of course many characters have separate superhero and civilian names. The [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Olympian pantheon]] take this further with many gods having at least three names: their Greek name, their Roman name and the name under which they pose in modern society.
* ColorCharacter: Red Arrow. The Red bit is justified by his fire control powers, [[NonIndicativeName although there is no mention of bows in his write up]].
* TheCowl: [[CastingAShadow Umbras]].
* CutLexLuthorACheck: In one blog the author complains “it can get unconvincing if these ingenious characters use their enormous skill in building functioning wardroids out of mechano playsets for nothing more clever or original than breaking into a bank.” This doesn’t stop him from filling the book with super intelligent villains, but most of them have [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans goals]] [[DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans beyond]] mere lucre.
* DarkAgeOfSupernames: Warhound and Villain Killer, AKA [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Mind Butcher]].
* DisabilitySuperpower: Having a disability makes you immune to stuff that would affect people who don't have the disability.
* DisposableSuperheroMaker: Known as “uncontrolled origins.”
* DominoMask: Worn by [[AnIcePerson Snowflake]] from the cover.
* EnlightenmentSuperpowers: Amrak and Circle.
* EveryoneIsASuper: Mentioned briefly as an option
* FreakLabAccident: Clarity is a particularly ridiculious example, having gained their antimatter powers from falling into a particle accelerator. How did he fall into a particle accelerator?
Well another lab accident caused him to shrink dramatically enough to topple into the device.
* FunwithAcronyms : [[Cult The Honourable Order Of New Eden]] (T.H.R.O.N.E) and [[StateSec Security, Espionage, Confidentiality and Risk Emollition Taskforce]] (S.E.C.R.E.T).
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: With enough imagination and good rolls any power can be horrifically effective.
* KeepTheHomeFiresBurning: Players are encouraged to create and play supporting cast members for each other which can lead to this.
* LegacyCharacter: One possible option from the game’s rules for ComicBookDeath.
