As a different way of saying what Tim did (Hi Tim!), I usually describe the power programmes as shopping lists: you have a certain number of points to spend, and here's a list of options. I looked at the mythological info about each source and tried to render it across into superpower terms. So all the key parts of a source's portfolio should be possible for a character (though not, as Tim rightly says, all at once; and not ones that just don't work as superpowers).
The split into cost categories is very rough, 'cos I wasn't interested in going down the route of nailing down every last parameter - especially as there is no standard list of powers, and I basically made them up within the framework as I needed them, so the number existing is open-ended. (There is a key powers section for ones that are common and/or long in the explanation, to avoid repetition.)
