I've been contemplating the same thing for my setting.	The beauty of a 
setting/campaign is that if you run it like a large-scale RPG, with each

player's "Character" being a power instead of an individual, as "GM" you
can 
always step in arbitrarily to intervene if the rules don't cover a given

situation adequately.  This should be a minimally employed tactic, but 
"Because I said so" is definitely a weapon any good GM keeps in his
arsenal.
