But it could very easily reflect a D20 Modern-esque game, if you tone down the powers. Basically, everything is point buy (and I mean everything), and the 'typical' hero/villain is Power Level 10. Most normal citizens are PL1. So a PL 2-3 game could be 'stronger than average'.
And rather than a hit-point based system, people of higher PLs can get higher attack and defense bonuses, so they're more easily able to hurt weaker foes, while being harder to hurt. Failure tacks on 'Bruised' conditions, which are cumulative -1 to Toughness saves vs damage. If you fail by 15 or more, you're unconscious (or dying, if subject to lethal).
I've even had someone in my group promote a D&D style game using M&M as the system for it, basing your attacks and spells and whatnot off of the power system.
-----------------
Mind you, this is just an alternative. I too own d20 Modern, and it has its place. But it's always felt 'lacking' to me. Something I'd play in, but probably would never run.

Yeah, M&M sounds far more 'heroic' than Modern, but I think that's what is cool about Modern. You guys are pretty much normal people, albeit with a couple of hero-esque abilities, but at the low levels, if you get shot, you're going down, which I think makes a nice change of pace. The only time my IRL group did a Modern game I was DM/GM, as per usual, and we only played 3 sessions, but we really enjoyed it; even though it ended in a character betrayal and a TPK! It was a great end to a short adventure. Anyway, what I'm saying is that I think d20 Modern is great, because you don't start off as heroes, although I know that isn't to everyones tastes ^^
