Superhero Equipment

A typical superhero game takes place in a real-world (modern-day Earth) setting, so you can use the Real-World Equipment table to see what sorts of things are available. Keep in mind that for most superheroes, powers and skills make the character, and equipment is almost irrelevant. However, the following items may be useful for a busy hero on the go.
