I am not super familiar with most of these, but used to play HERO system/Champions tabletop. I have to agree with your verdict on it; I always had to have somebody else help me build something and it felt pretty confusing to play. I like the versatility of it and a lot of the concepts in the system in terms of powers, but it's eye-crossingly complicated to learn enough that I think it could be problematic to learn (and code).

Another thing to check is how the various companies take to having coded systems built -- sometimes that can get iffy. I don't know of any red flags associated with any of these titles, but some companies do have that, so that may help narrow the list down a little if any do.

Good luck! I'm hopeful this works out, since I'd really like to see an OC Superhero game out there and am looking forward to seeing what happens!
