How do you handle different species in 3e?

Newbie GM here trying to learn the system (reading the powers chapter atm). If I want different species in my setting that have a list of inherant abilities to them, e.g martians in DC being psychic, am I suppose to require that a player spend their PP to build those relevant powers, effectively just restricting options during character creation?

The other alternative is to make these species benefits free at character creation, but then it becomes mechanically incentivised to not be a human which isnt exactly what I want either.

Would love to read how you folks handle this topic.
