Wondering if there's any love for Kenson's "other" supers RPG, Icons?

The game I'd like to run would feature the player-characters as the premiere team of a city built upon the ashes of Gary, Indiana in the 1990's, shortly after the first supers appeared, and the first super-villain blew up the whole town. The man who designed and oversaw the construction of the new metropolis, Millennium City*, turned out to be as insane as he was brilliant (a fact only discovered well after the fact, unfortunately), and the place is a little… off.

The tone of the game would be strongly Silver Age, seasoned with Astro City dramatics and a touch of Grant Morrison uber-weirdness.

Why Icons? I like the simplicity of the system, but it retains some tactical considerations and a strong emphasis of thinking outside the box. Warning: You would be rolling random characters (you would be allowed to arrange your stat rolls as you please).

Any interest?

*crickets*

Bumping, because there has to be at least one or two Icons players out there somewhere... maybe?

Also, the game is simple to play and easy to learn, so if you don't know it, I'd be happy to teach you.

I'll bite. Never played the system before, but I'm willing to learn.

I'm not entirely familiar with this sort of thing either. However, I would like to point out that - ironically - I actually DID play FalloutJack in Champions Online, making the character about as black-powersuit-guy-with-weapons-and-jetpack as you can. So uhh...this is actually kind of appropriate.

Hmmm. Silve age is my favorite era, and I've been in he mood for a super RP. Not familiar with this particular brand of RPG, but I would be up to it.
