Non-Marvel or DC superheroes

Watching the Invincible series really has me wanting to play in a superhero RPG of some variety.  Preferably a world that's not based on an well-known established comic book world (ie - no DC or Marvel).  I prefer to play in player-generated worlds because it gives more room for creativity.

Anyhow, are there any takers?  I could play any system - Mutants and Masterminds, Masks, whatever

Have you heard of Worlds in Peril? I could write your character into the story.

Oh it's Apocalypse powered?  Cool - I played a Monsterhearts game a while back.  Is your game that Golden Age era game that you run?

A bit about Marvels & Miscreants, which is not a great name but it is alliterative.

Currently the game is set in the Golden Age of comic books, and the PCs are fighting World War 2. Eventually the game will move on to the other eras of comic books (Silver Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age). All the players control at least on other character, usually an ordinary human who may or may not be important.

Most of the important rules of WiP are summarized in my game, which took forever to do. I didn't want to copy/paste the rules verbatim because that felt like misuse of intellectual property. However, if you don't have a copy of the book I can walk you through character creation.

Yes, I could find room for two people in the game. Unfortunately we seem to have suffered some attrition and we're stalled on the beaches of Normandy.
