It really depends upon what the power is, but many are restricted by the PL of the character. But there are what are called "tradeoffs". A PL 10 character can have an attack of +10 with a power that does +10 damage (totalling +20). The Martial Artist trades 6 from the damage, and adds that to the attack, tiving them attack +16 and damage +4 (still totalling +20). The same is true with defense/toughness.
For powers that do not have an attack roll (like area effect attacks), the cap in damage is the PL limit (so a PL 10 character can have a +10 damaging area effect blast).
Other powers, like say, flight, are not capped, though most PL 10 characters are not going to spend the 40 power points for 20 ranks of Flight :)

First, does she do anything besides heroing and school? Whats her home life like? Does anyone know her secret ID or is it really a secret?
Well, like I said, there are a lot of school related extra-circular activities, but she is part of the popular crowd, so there are parties, hanging out with friends and dating. (after all, being able to do homework in a fraction of the time leaves you lots of free time).
Her dad is not home much (like any partner at a major law firm), her mom (Erin) is involved in charity/philanthropies, so is pretty busy as well. Given their wealth and status, there are often charity events, parties and the like that Megan has to go to.
I’ll think about whether anyone knows her identity or not.
Second, explain to me how your array works (I've always been bad with arrays), mostly so I know what I'm approving.
Well, basically I have broken the Superspeed power into its individual elements.
If you look at it in Ultimate Power, the 5 points per rank gives you a rank of speed, a rank of quickness, a rank of improved initiative and two points into “superspeed arrayâ€Â., which gives you those things speedsters can do, such as punch someone with such velocity behind the blow that it hits real hard (strike), causing a mini sonic boom that flattens people, etc.
Basically what I have done, is limited the speed, quickness and initiative parts of the superspeed power to 7 ranks (I don’t really see the need for running 10,000 mph), but bought the array part of the power up to 10 ranks.

Velocity
PL/PPs: 13 (184/196 pp)
Unspent PPs: 12
________________________
Real Name: Megan Howell
Identity: Secret
Occupation: College Student
Age: 18
Height: 5’5â€Â
Weight: 105 lbs
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Blue
Background: Megan’s father, Donald Howell, is a senior partner in the corporate department of the law firm of Hartford, Grayson & Cole (the largest law firm in Freedom City). Her parents have a very large home in North Bay, and she is a Senior at an exclusive private school there.
During Sophomore year, a field trip to Astro Labs, resulted in Megan getting exposed to some chemicals during a supervillain attack that gave her superspeed. Since then she has used her powers to help people and fight crime under the identity of Velocity (she wears a mask with a wig in costume).
Always a bright girl, her powers have helped her maintain a very solid GPA, and she is involved in a number of school activities (she looks to most like your typical overachiever that is going to burn themselves out). She is the captain of the cheerleading squad, on the debate team, and tries to be involved in just about every planning committee you can think of.
In-costume Description: As Velocity, Megan wears a skin tight yellow bodysuit with checkered racing strips up the sides of her leg and torso and continuing down the sides of her arm. She also wears yellow gloves and boots and a small utility belt in which she carries a few things, such as marbles which she throws at supersonic speeds. In addition, she covers most of her head in a matching colored mask that has her face exposed. To further conceal her identity, a brunette wig extends out the back of the mask in a ponytail. Hi-tech, mirrored goggles over her eyes and the upper half of her face.

Real Name: Megan Howell
Identity: Secret
Occupation: College Student
Age: 18
Height: 5’5â€Â
Weight: 105 lbs
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Blue
Background: Megan’s father, Donald Howell, is a senior partner in the corporate department of the law firm of Hartford, Grayson & Cole (the largest law firm in Freedom City). Her parents have a very large home in North Bay, and she is a Senior at an exclusive private school there.
During Sophomore year, a field trip to Astro Labs, resulted in Megan getting exposed to some chemicals during a supervillain attack that gave her superspeed. Since then she has used her powers to help people and fight crime under the identity of Velocity (she wears a mask with a wig in costume).
Always a bright girl, her powers have helped her maintain a very solid GPA, and she is involved in a number of school activities (she looks to most like your typical overachiever that is going to burn themselves out). She is the captain of the cheerleading squad, on the debate team, and tries to be involved in just about every planning committee you can think of.
In-costume Description: As Velocity, Megan wears a skin tight yellow bodysuit with checkered racing strips up the sides of her leg and torso and continuing down the sides of her arm. She also wears yellow gloves and boots and a small utility belt in which she carries a few things, such as marbles which she throws at supersonic speeds. In addition, she covers most of her head in a matching colored mask that has her face exposed. To further conceal her identity, a brunette wig extends out the back of the mask in a ponytail. Hi-tech, mirrored goggles over her eyes and the upper half of her face.

I agree with Beard, that initially there should be a cap on the PL, after all, you need something to aspire to
As things progress, eventually that cap would need to be increased.

Hey, checking in!
EF, do things only intend to be PC heroes vs. villains? Or will there be NPC heroes (police) and villains?

Power Level Limitations

It really depends upon what the power is, but many are restricted by the PL of the character. But there are what are called "tradeoffs". A PL 10 character can have an attack of +10 with a power that does +10 damage (totalling +20). The Martial Artist trades 6 from the damage, and adds that to the attack, tiving them attack +16 and damage +4 (still totalling +20). The same is true with defense/toughness.
For powers that do not have an attack roll (like area effect attacks), the cap in damage is the PL limit (so a PL 10 character can have a +10 damaging area effect blast).
Other powers, like say, flight, are not capped, though most PL 10 characters are not going to spend the 40 power points for 20 ranks of Flight :)
