<Basically for every dot of Mega-Strength you took in AST, you gained five automatic successes to all Strength-related rolls. This meant that Mega-Strength was easily one of the most abusable powers in the book, and was phenomenally more effective than other MAs.>

Not really. First and foremost, those successes only counted on damage and lifting rolls. Brawl rolls didn't get the bonus, but you could throw things very, very far (A number of meters equal to the auto-successes times your normal might rating).

As such, Mega-Strength is no more abusable than, say, Mega-Dexterity or an Area-Effect Telepathic Domination max-out. And let's not get started on Aggravated Mental Blasts, which aren't survivable without Invulnerability or Impervious Mental Shields.
