I played a lot of Cosmic Encounter several years ago in Silicon
Valley.  We discovered that Anti-Matter was nearly invincible,
so we took to dealing out powers, stud-style: one is dealt five
powers and keeps one, two, or three of them.

Another observation: some powers (such as Empath) are very strong
in two-player games and nearly useless with more players.  If you
haven't tried two-player games, they're worth while.
