ROLE-PLAYING NOTES
Superman is described as “the Big Blue Boy Scout” for good reason: he not only follows the ideals of truth, justice and compassion, but lives them. Even when driven to the edge by foes who have sought to force Superman to abandon his principles, he has held true to them.
Superman’s greatest fault is that he tries to do too much, and feels keenly responsible for every crisis and disaster he cannot avert. He leads by example and is an inspiration to his heroic peers, and generations of future heroes
As an extra note, Superman abhors killing, and after having to put some extra-dimensional villains to death, he has sworn never to kill again. In fact, Superman believes in using the minimal amount of force necessary to solve a problem. Therefore, he usually never uses his STR greater than 12 when making hand-to-hand attacks.

Exusiai's Notes I've always had an issue with him having an Aura of 20. Out of the five sources I used for this write-up, three of them give him an Aura of 10, and two an Aura of 20. Part of the Aura attribute is "his or her level of magical power". Superman has no magical power, not only that he is vulnerable to magic. How does he have an Aura rating as high as if close to Dr. Fate's? He shouldn't have. Even though I still feel an Aura of 13 is too high, I feel this is a more balanced version of Superman. As far as skills, he is an investigative reporter, so he should have the Detective skill, and his Artist (Writer) for someone who won a Pulitzer, was way too low.
