Is Weaver Dice actually good? If not, name systems that work

Mutants and Masterminds, Hero System, etc would be better systems to run the game. Character background and power generation methods it uses are excellent for the style of game, regardless of the system.

Explain

You build the character's physical stats and background up to the trigger event. A trigger event is basically the worst moment of the worst day of your life, the moment you realise that everything has gone horribly wrong and there's nothing you can do. The exact nature of a trigger event roughly correlates to what kind of power that person receives. The exact power though is decided by council, which is every player other than you. You can't talk at all during the discussion and the council looks over guidelines and classifications before hammering out the exact details of whatever power you get.

that, combined with precedents set by the story of Worm means that you can have a VAST array of potential powers out of seemingly identical trigger events...

any super hero system probably works better for everything except char-gen

IIRC weaver dice is still under construction/alpha-testing

Depends on the type of game you're going for, really. Weaver Dice is a really deadly system, if you treat it like DnD or Mutants and Masterminds; there have been instances of characters who die in the first session in some of the games Wildbow runs.

Worlds in Peril maybe.

Systems where you put down hard stats for the heroes with point costs and shit miss the point of superhero settings imo.
