Have you ever heard about Diabolik? maybe something like this will inspire you, a mastermin criminal halfway between superhero and eurospy.
There are many books and comic books, even a 70's film from mario bava with great "mise en scene", a shocking car and a superhot blonde girl.

Don't forget Dazzler, the Disco Superhero. There was also Colleen Wing and Misty Knight. Also, Shang Chi, which fits in to the Kung-Fu types


Luke Cage/Powerman has pretty much got to be the embodiment of the 70s hero, essentially Shaft with superpowers. I'm fairly sure there are Clickies of him available, or there's a Reaper figure that might stand a conversion.

Also, I would say a lot of kung-fu style supes appeared around then, following on from Bruce Lee mania. Ironfist, for example. Golgo Island has a few excellent martial artists in their "legends" range:

and Hassslefree do some really nice ones too:

Those are the ones that spring immediately to mind, anyway.
Looking for a set of rules that adaptable for different genres.
