Again, take a look at the Energy Blast power. Note that every one of these has a free minor side power associated with it. Now look at V&V damage type powers, and note that barring the Power Weapon/Power Blast power, that's just how they were structured.

Now turn to enhanced attributes as a power. Note that V&V was for a long time, the _only_ superhero game that broke out attribute enhancement that way, because it was the only one where that was relevant.

There's more (the distinction between the Super-Speed power and the later movement addition power for example, which also followed a V&V example), but those are pretty good fingerprints of its origin. As far as that goes, so is Superworld "Martial Arts" which is descended from V&V Heightened Attack and its kin.
