I had an idea for a different kind of Superhuman game; in fact it mixes with a few sci-fi concepts more then a typical comic book.  I'd prefer to set it in the Marvel Universe as I am most familiar with that world.  Technically though, it could allow a great number of other original supehero concepts and characters as well.

 The essential concept is that the humans of Earth united together and became fed up with the various mutants and aliens on the planet.  Despite the odds against the humans, they were successful in turning against the various superhumans on the planet and forced them off the planet into exile aboard Asteroid M/Avalon.  All meta-humans, hero and villain alike were forced to live on the city sized space station, and rejected from ever returning to Earth.

 The station has been converted into a ship, though it is slow moving, and now in search of a new home for the mutants onboard in the galaxy.  The large vessel is now preparing to send scout ships out to nearby star systems to better determine where there would be a home they could settle and colonize.  These scout ships will have contact with Asteroid M, but will mostly be on their own to deal with threats or dangerous.  The main story of course would be one of these scout vessels.  Thus players would need to fill roles on the ship or scout mission for their new home, in addition to any mutant powers they have.

 Still considering a possible system for such a game, character creation etc.  I'm considering a fairly high powered game, and would prefer players being older as would like some more mature content, though still mulling over ideas.  There are a number of directions the game could possibly go, but starting out it would be centered on the scout ship and the mission to find a home for the vessel that would accept them.

 This game could accept original characters, but I would also like to see some Marvel characters, updated to fit into this concept of outcasts from Earth.  As all mutants have been rejected, former enemies have to work side by side to work and survive together.

 That is the essential idea, checking to see if others would be interested in such a game.  Questions or suggestions appreciated.  Thanks

I might be interested.  When does this universe split from the 'cannon' Marvel Universe, though?  I assume M-Day/Decimation never happened...?

Haven't decided yet, probly it wouldn't have, though it could also be set to presume M-Day/Decimation did occur, and the exodus of the superhumans occurs a few years in the future.  

I actually like the idea of post Decimation, cause part of the idea I had was that only mutants give birth to other mutants in this world.  For this reason, Earth has less fear of mutants being born again after all of the superhumans leave.  However, Earth wouldn't be very important to this game except in backstory.

There a few points it could diverge from the Marvel Universe though.
