Trivia
- The slots for the unlockable abilities are reserved - meaning that, if the player have not claimed previously released iconic powers, there'll be empty spaces that correspond to those powers.
- There used to be a separate classes of innate Iconic Powers including X-Ray Vision, Nanoweave Armor, Intimidating Gaze, Miracle Worker, Weapons Expert, Powerful Resistance, Wisdom of Solomon, Empathic Healing, and Tactical Genius, but they have all been removed and Super-Strength is the only one that remains.
