It's slow going, as I tend to need to add more specifics to powers that start to become game breaking (the one teleporter I have has to get into a vehicle before they can exit any other vehicle in the same 'system', and even that's causing problems).

But the fun part has been working out the implications of literally one in a million people having a power, and having no duplicate powers. It makes the rare superpowered conflicts relatively weird until somebody just resorts to mundane means.
A major part of the story is they aren't super heroes, they just think they are. Life is a sentient organism (think big biological computer with life forms as parts) that is essentially divine. In ancient times Earth was repeatedly invaded by aliens so Gaia gave some humans super powers and immortality to fight them. These are where our gods come from, all of which died once the aliens were gone and Gaia rescinded her powers. The supers are tearing things up, not realizing their existence is because another fleet is coming into the solar system.
