Anyone play any superhero TTRPGs?

Heya mates, hope you are all doing well.
Got a few TTRPG worldbuilding guides for secret santa this year, which got me thinking.
What are some superhero Tabletop roleplaying games do all of you play?
I'm aware of mutants and masterminds, which I've played abit. Love the character building mechanics and the conflict resolution; but the lack of a health system and it's complex nature does make it hard to get others into playing a superhero campaign.
I'm curious to know any recommendations, or even ways to put together a superhero campaign that would be more freely accessible to those that are more accustom to D&D 5th edition.
Also if anyone runs any superhero themed games, I would be interested in joining and learning new systems ^^

Palladium is kind of a love it or hate it system, so your milage may vary. It's like a hybrid of 2nd and 3rd edition D&D (D20 combat system, percentile based skill system).
I've also played Big Eyes Small Mouth, and anime hero rpg, that had rules for superhero settings. But that was 15+ years ago so I don't remember much about the system except that I liked it.
Most recent one I bought was "Tiny SUpers" which is a very rules-lite game system; rather neat all around, though could use some slight rule tweaks here and there for maximum play-ability.
Know I looked at the Marvel multiverse game system; which looks neat but might be a bit tied into the Marvel universe.

it's fun for making absurd characters and light hearted fun but can be very mathy
Mutants and Masterminds, I THINK there is a 5e Supers setting... I know that Scion is pretty good, too. I have Aberrant's 1st edition, which if you like World of Darkness, it's pretty much the same exact system.
Champions, early Marvel, TMNT, and M&M are all RPGs I've tried before.
And of course, there's always GURPS.
