::Setting Guru::
Or you could be one of the "native" supers that came about due to the physics alteration. After the event, radiation accidents have a slim chance of causing superpowers rather than leukemia, and folks who spend a lot of time around computers have exposure to mana/datamagic.
Probably around May 2007 in VIIOR timeline, the equivalent to the "Inventions System" will be discovered, and "Native" origins may start occurring. That is, "real people" will have "real superpowers" instead of being CoH copies. Of course, it should still be pretty rare to be any where NEAR as powerful as the "Virtues."
I guess what I'm saying is, Most Virtues are 250+ points in Champions terms with Bigwigs like GW potentially in the near 1000 point range.
Native Heroes usually max out, at origin, around 200.
We could also have someone attempt "datamagic" rituals over their other MMO toons, etc.
Remember, we have a finite number of "Virtues" affected in the setting origin.
However, if you had the fortune to be running a trial account you would have still been affected if you were on, so we can fudge a little.
And sometimes, we need some characters who are "normal" to ground us supers.
