Atomic Super Humans is probably at the end of the spectrum when compared to any of those other three options, but in terms of simplicity it's more along the lines of HeroClix, only even easier. My only gripe is that I don't like feeling like I'm creating a character for playing an RPG like classic D&D when I skirmish-game, and that's part of the process in Atomic Super Humans.

Don't you consider the Super System character generation comprehensive enough for RPG-style play? At first glance it doesn't seem all that different in your review.

I think he's saying the opposite: that he likes the depth of the character creation system, but feels it's maybe a bit overkill & out of place in what's otherwise a simple skirmish game.
History viewed from the inside is always a dark, digestive mess, far different from the easily recognizable cow viewed from afar by historians.

That's exactly it too. Good call!
