More FUDGE/FATE Super Hero Ideas

I'm thinking of a new Ladder based on the Marvel Wiki and the seven level Power Grids.
MSH Ladder


-2   Poor
-1   Mediocre
  0   Fair
+1   Superior
+2   Enhanced
+3   Super Human
+4   God Like
+5   Cosmic

Marvel Superheroic Roleplaying has much in common with this idea:
Here is a cool link --> http://exploring-infinity.com/2012/03/12/marvel-heroic-roleplaying-collected-miscellanies/

An idea floating around in my head is the Solo/Buddy/Team affiliations from the new MSHRPG.  I would go with Solo/Team-Up/Group, where a player may choose which he is better at (Solo, Team-Up's or Groups) i.e Spiderman would choose a Solo Bonus, then Team-Up's then Groups.
A character chooses his Affiliation(!) at character creation.  Mechanically, this provides the character a FATE Refresh Bonus of +2 extra FATE points on his Primary choice, +1 on his Secondary choice and no bonus on the tertiary.

OK.  Here's how this plays:
Spiderman is a Solo hero, working best alone, but he can (an does!) often teams up with other heroes (Black Cat, Thing and the Human Torch, etc) and has been involved with large groups (Avengers, Fantastic Four) but works better in smaller teams...

Aldi Donuts Store Coffee: Worth Every Penny

It's Sunday morning and here I sit contemplating the first nice warm day of spring (Central Illinois. If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes... it will change...).

A nice hot cup of coffee, the Sunday paper and fresh donuts.  What more can a man ask for?

But I digress.  The point here is Stuff I Like, right?  Well, if you have an Aldi Grocery Store nearby, and you love coffee as much as I do, I suggest you give the Beaumont Blend "Donut Shop Coffee"



Now, let me get this outta the way.  I don't give a review for free stuff, paid vacations, or what-not...
I just like this coffee.  I work the 3rd shift at the Post Office here in Springfield and coffee is my life blood, so take it from me, this is good stuff.

Being a connoisseur of fine "midnight brew" coffees, I truly enjoy waking up to a nice fresh pot of this coffee.
I could pay $8 to $9 for the original "brand name" coffee
,
 or I could spend $4 on a bag of JUST AS FREAKING GOOD coffee (..in these uncertain times...)!


Downside?  Everything has one and this ones a zinger.  It's got a bit of a "bite", unless you use an old wife's trick:

One pinch of salt, on top of the grounds prior to brewing. Instant bitterness removal!

NO! Really!  My Grandma used to do this and I swear to Baby Jesus, it works!!

So, go buy a bag and tell me what you think.  You wont be disappointed...

(OBTW... Mr Aldi?  If you are reading this, email me for my home address, I'll take two cases...) :)
