Super Strength
When this character moves due to its own action, it may either pick up an object or place an object it is holding. The object must be picked up from or placed in either a square the character occupies or an adjacent square. If this power is lost or countered while this character is holding an object, immediately place the object in the square this character occupies.

Unless otherwise noted, game effects only occur once each time they would apply.
Does this mean if a character is using Hypersonic Speed, moves and picks up a heavy object, makes a close combat attack using the object, and then continues to move past another object that it cannot pick up the second object?

I would say that the rule you've pointed out would apply: I certainly can't see any reason why it would not. So by the rules you can only pick up an object or drop one and you can only do either once per action. Now, that may not be the intent (although I don't really see why it shouldn't be), but that's how I would read the rules.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

What about during Working Together? I am taking 1 non-free action to take 3 free actions during it: can I pick up/drop only one or up to three (if it is a 201-300 cost team base)?

If you can manage three actions where there is movement in each action, then you can Pick Up or Place an object for each action.

so you can change and pick up an object under the fig you want to hit if you have super Strength and then use it? and if you use your whole speed to hypersonic up to the fig and then want to pick up the object after you stopped moving is that ok even if the object is under the targeted fig?

If your picking up an object that is in the same square as an oopposing character, then you would need to have an ability that lets you move adjacent without stopping. Otherwise you will stop before you are able to pick up the object.

So, in the diagram above, H represents a character with Super Strength using HSS. O represents a character standing on an object. T represents someone that H wants to hit with the object.
Can H pick up the object and hit T with it? Would H have to roll breakaway from O to continue on to T? Is that even legal in this game?

Does HSS allow you to move into adjacent squares of opposing characters without stopping? Yes, it uses improved movement
Do you need to break away when using HSS? Yes, like normal only at the beginning of movement.
Does that include after an attack with HSS? No, the attack happens during movement.

so you can't use change to go next to the fig and pick up the object under the same fig and hit the fig with it as in this map
xxOxx
xxxxx
xxxxx
xxtxx
where x is clear terrian
O is the fig and the object he is standing on
T has change his speed is 4 with super strength
T wants to change O and pick up the object to use it
T half his speed to 2 and when he next to the fig he can attack but not pick up the object right?
If ccharacter "T" has any effect that lets him move adjacent to an opposing character without being forced to stop he could grab the object from underneath the opposing character "O" and smack it in "O"'s face.
