Except for a few exceptions the X-Men all had human level stats. Nightcrawler may have had super human agility, Colossus and Rogue have Super Strength but for the most part the characters in the X-Men were defined by their powers which wouldn’t be all that high (except for maybe Storm)

Cyclops would have slightly above normal stats and optic blast, that’s about it.

Ok, here is a quick write up of Human Torch, Silver Surfer, and Tigra using the GODSEND Agenda rules.

Move:10. Strength Damage:2D. Fate Points: 0. Character Points: 2, Ka Points: 6, Body Points: 45
Power Level: 3 (120 points) Tigra is a perfectly balance starting level character
Tigra would be a starting power level 3 charcter. The Surfer would be at the upper end and the Torch would be right in the middle.

If large dice pools are not your thing there are rules for alternate dice rolling so that you only roll 5 dice and modify it by the remaining dice. That way you ONLY roll 5 dice. I’ve played D6 quite a bit in the original incarnation and the new one and the amount of dice rolled never presented itself as a problem. GODSEND Agenda is designed so that only ULTRA POWERFUL characters roll a lot of dice and those characters are usually under the control of the GM.
