I'm really thinking that maybe it has. I'm thinking that maybe people really aren't that interested in aliens coming to earth and giving people super powers and such or some alien artifact giving someone superpowers. I think it's more interesting if they get their powers some other way. What do you think?
Personally, I think it matters more what the powers are & what character does with then that they got them from an Alien/Alien Artifact. If I were to go in that direction I'd go with the Alien Artifact route & then later on introduce the Aliens later in story.
But I think in the end you have to be happy with how the story is written. If you don't want to do the who Alien granted super powers then don't.
