Moderately better than the best humans of each characteristic. IE slightly better than the fastest human, slightly stronger than the strongest one... With such a range of abilities, you can't be having levels in each that exceed those of individuals who work single powers alone.

If you don't mind me saying, I actually find flying bricks to be relatively well balanced. I mean, sure, in a direct confrontation they might be a little stronger and more durable, but that really shouldn't pose too much of a problem for other people as long as they aren't invincible. I mean, just using the first examples to pop in my head, an electrokinetic could probably knock them out using a sufficiently high voltage, and a person like Kalk could easily cause them significant damage. Heck, even Cormac could probably disable one using a small high-powered dazzler/acoustic cannon. Not to mention what someone like Teeth/Desmond might do to them... They might be immune to kinetic energy and a few other forms of damage, but many things still work quite well on them, including most forms of energy weapons.

Question: It's 2182. Any tech advancements in the last 168 years?

The technology is pretty advanced, even for a "realistically assumed" year of 2182. The presence of "super-mind" heroes and villains before their subjugation allowed for an accelerated development of technology in nearly all fields; though military tech received the brunt of it for obvious reasons. However this surge in speed has since halted, and is now progressing at "human velocities". Commercial, private, and civilian-owned space travel is wide-spread. Advances in medicine allows for a rather unfortunate birth:death rate in the favor of rampant overpopulation. Human beings survive well into 200 years old, thankfully so considering immortality has been achieved but strictly banned. Quantum computing allows for AI, though the viability of rampant AI is impossible given proper programming protocol. Laser beams. Pew pew. Though kinetic weapons are still preferred.

Spaceship propulsion varies, with the more advanced ones utilizing Diametric Drives for yaw and pitch, and quantum vacuum plasma propulsion for forward and reverse movement. Less expensive (read: civilian-owned) use quantum vacuum propulsion alone for all directional movement.Space colonies extend well into the outer reaches of the solar system, and several interstellar expeditions have been sent off, though none have reached their destination point yet. Mars has been terraformed into one with an atmosphere, though still requires the wearing of breathing apparatuses due to the thinner air outside. Most space colonies orbit around the gas giants, utilizing the minerals found in their rings to fuel expansion.Graviton manipulation allows for the creation of artificial gravity in space without the need for centrifugal forces.

Politics with space colonies ultimately breaks down into corporations brawling with one another. Most, if not all significantly sized space stations are owned by megacorporations, though some are owned by governments (who cannot afford such large establishments on their own). If you live on a corporate-owned station, you are eithera) A worker for the company or one of its many smaller variantsb) Richc) One of the many civilians given an opportunity to live there by way of lottery.

Automated space colonies exist generally, again, around the gas giants. They act as AI-controlled mining stations with only a few human hands to fix things that break down.

Hope that answers your questions.
