So I was wondering what kind of system would be best suited for 'puckish rogues' performing a systemic takeover of organized crime in a city, possibly with super powers.

Mutants and Masterminds. I remember someone around these parts was thinking about running a game called Mutants Row about a gang trying to get powers and do stupid poo poo.

I wonder whatever happened to that man...

It is, but only from select retailers, and it takes time to read through fully. As it's so elite, it's got different branding to the other GURPS books. You can find it at your local university, under "BSc (Hons) Mechanical Engineering"

From that set of books that don't exist, I'd like to see GURPS Iron Age.
