[Mutants & Masterminds] Zweite Edition besser?

I would consider the 2nd Edition of M&M to be a pretty heavy revision of the game engine. Certainly, there are many concepts and rules that remain the same. However, significant aspects of the rules have been altered (in my opinion, for the better). The Conversion guide lists these in more detail, but here are some of the highlights:

*Attributes (namely Strength and Dexterity) no longer affect a characters Attack and Defense totals. This sounds strange at first, but it is actually a great design and balance decision.

*Costs of Skill Points and Feats have been reduced to make Skill or Feat-based character designs less costly.

*Skill list was streamlined in a few ways, such as combining Hide and Move Silently into a single "Stealth" skill and Listen and Spot into a single "Notice" skill.

*Power Levels and Power Level limits for powers now work a bit differently and the existence of "Trade Off" rules allow characters to have powers that exceed their power level.

*Many powers have been revised or expanded and some have been drastically changed. Movement powers allow much faster movement than in M&M 1e. Powers can no longer be taken as extras of other powers, this concept being replaced by "Power Arrays" in which multiple powers are linked together but have limits on their use.

*The Drawback system has been revised to allow variable values depending on several factors.

*Hero Points have changed in some ways, including how many players start with, how they are earned, and how they can be spent.
