We can't assume everyone has PU3:Talents, can we? I'm not sure what SJGs policy is on these things. I know that I inquired about writing for DF and Kromm said "You can assume people have the DF line and the Basic Set". And possibly Magic, I can't remember. With IST, you can probably assume Basic Set, Powers and Supers but probably not anything else.
As for Wildcard skills - I think they suit the genre. Someone like Reed Richards can work an alien computer from before the Big Bang without any problems. Some heroes are ridiculously proficient with every weapon imaginable. Etc. But limiting people to one Wildcard skill seems sensible.
