BA is the ruler of a country with half-nekkid belly-dancers. Supes is a sci-fi geek (at least the DCNu one is) on a reporter's salary (cook's a helluva Kent recipe farmer's omelet, though). No contest in the "money to burn" and "down and dirty parties" category
You keep calling him BA so now I keep picturing BA Baracus in my head.
If I play Black Adam now I'm gonna make him say: "I pity da fool!"
Booster Gold: "If I had a dollar..."
Skeets: "You'd spend it!!!" Keywords
As far as the question of Supes having the cheaper cost, thus leaving more room for support, the real question should be, "200 point Black Adam or 150 point Supes + Ambush Bug?"
As much as I do love all things Black Adam, the bug pwns all.

(Speed) Hell is Here!: Black Adam can use Charge. He can use it normally or he can be given a double power action to use Charge with a locked speed value of 10 if he doesn't use the Carry ability or Super Strength.
(Special) World War III: Friendly characters named Osiris modify their attack values by +1 if they are not on their starting click. Friendly characters named Isis modify their defense value by +1 if they are not on their starting click.
(Attack) Lightning Regeneration: Black Adam can use Regeneration. If he uses it and heals, after actions resolve, deal 1 penetrating damage to each opposing characters within 2 squares.
(Defense) Defender of Khandaq: Black Adam can use Impervious, but if he would be dealt 4 or more damage, he reduces that damage by 3 instead of 2. His powers and abilities cannot be countered except for his Outwit.
I think a better comparison would be 100 point BA to 150 point Supes. Yes, at 200 BA is very good but he takes up too much of a standard 300 point team for what he does.
100 point BA however brings a butt kicking of his own, and for 50 points cheaper no less. Head to head, yeah, Superman is better, but the fact that you have 50 extra points to play with when you field BA can make a significant difference.
Overall I think the scientist keyword puts Superman on top, but don't write off that rookie level Black Adam. The Mystical keyword can produce some pretty nasty teams too.
Superman has the scientist keyword, that alone makes him broken.
If I went to worlds tomorrow I would run :
150 Superman
Professor X
Researcher
Yellow Lantern
Broken Scientist fun!
I understand everything else about this team, it's a great team, but how are you supposed to get that Yellow Lantern within 4 squares of Professor X? It has to be placed 5 from the starting area and it must be moved somehow so that it can affect Professor X in his starting area because his Cerebro trait only works in his starting area.
