So I've recently been craving some superhero roleplaying, but there really aren't any non-fandom ones that are really clicking with me. So, although my previous failures are screaming otherwise, I'm thinking maybe I'd like to start my own superhero roleplay. Okay, no big deal. But me being me, I decided I wanted to sufficiently world-build it out beforehand. Alright, that's fine, I'm pretty good at thinking up ideas in my opinion. So I'm going along, coming up with stuff, when it comes to mind that maybe a superhero "classification" of some kind would be nice. Y'know, to ensure the ones with the weaker powers are out dealing with the tiny crimes and the ones with planetary scale technology are off fighting some equivalent to Galactus or whatever. So I start laying that out. Types of abilities/skills/whatever, a 6 level ranking scale, and so on. Now, I have this friend who I often toss my ideas to (yes it is you

), and when I was describing my initial classification, he cautioned that I should make sure that I don't go overboard and make something too big to read (not his exact words, but a rough idea). Now, I didn't initially think about this very much, but a few days ago when I was thinking up a "level of control" scale, his words came to mind.
"Wait, is anyone going to actually care about this stuff? Like, actually read through it?" I thought, now worrying that I could be adding a little too much to the point that people would find it intimidating and not think about joining my possible roleplay. So here I am now, asking essentially the title question. How much detail do you think is appropriate in a superhero "classification" system?
