Are there many super hero themed games out there? The one's I've seen were all RPGs.

Heroclix comes to mind (CMG).
I had a Marvel themed version of Heroscape which I donated to my library.

But my superhero play these days is running the 1980's MSHRPG, aka FASERIP. If could be done with minis, but I don't have any for it, and the scale would be tiny.

SuperSystem is one. The company puts out others (very similar) that are not based on particular miniatures.

I have been working on my own supplement to my own wargame rules but not ready for a game yet.

Most RPGs would work just fine for tabletop wargaming, wouldn't they?

Super System and Super Mission Force are good smack down focused games.

And yes, any Super RPG will play just fine as a pure combat game.

Played some "Superhero 44" and "Squadron UK" years ago; we used minis to play out scenarios.

Given the variety of miniatures games, putting something played by one in eight of us in the "you don't play" category might be a bit harsh. Is there ANY single category of miniature warfare played by the majority of TMP members? Not many would be my guess. Possibly only fantasy skirmish and WWII land?
