Original & Useful Superheroes / Powers

Come up with some original (& useful) super powers/superheroes.

Battlemind - Battlemind is a clairvoyant who only obtains his awareness when sensing potential or immediate danger ''a la Spiderman'. However, Battlemind's precognition comes in the forms of visions where he is an ethereal version of himself, looking for possible pathways, a little more closely to Donnie Darko.

Gauntlet - Gauntlet is able to turn his body into organic copies of whatever material he is touching. For example, if Gauntlet is holding an iron sword, he can take that material and fuse it with his arms to make himself have an iron arm, hence the name.

Revenant - Revenant has total control over shadows. He can blend into them, manifest beings from them, and redirect them.

Bulldozer - Bulldozer is a large man who is able to case himself in a force field whenever enough kinetic energy is retrieved. For example, if Wildebeest were to swing his arm to punch, his entire hand would be encased in the force field.

All of these come from an idea I had to make a X-Men-ish superhero team based on my group of friends. Other characters I had in it were Reptile (based on the red rings from Green Lantern), Smoke (based on Smoke from Mortal Kombat), and Augur (a pretty original, but odd concept; Augur is a man with many avian characteristics, who is also very technological, and made the "Ornithopter", which is an aircraft.)

Clock Face - Has the power to turn back the hands on clocks using only his mind... but can't actually affect the flow of time in any way.

Didn't we had one of these before?

Necro-Romancer - brings back the dead for a limited time.

Fortuno: Can see the Fabric of Fate, allowing him to see every Possible Accurence in Past and Future in a Tree-like fashion and he has to sort out paths(example:In that path Person X lives, so it cant be happening to me because i killed him )in order to find out what Path he currently is on. That amount of Paths he can see is proportional to how much he has to concentrate for it, the paths appear randomly but obviously ye more a event is repeating in the paths ye more likley it is going to happen.

This is obviously not Main Character Material

Repeater: Has the power to continue to get better at anything with no upper limit. Most ordinary people won't be able to go beyond the limit of human capabilities, but if Repeater practices he can.

Mimic: Can copy anyone. Mostly a Charles Atlas Superpower, this doesn't alter physical capabilities in any way. The impersonation is top-notch, but still more like simple mimicry, except for the part where Mimic is so skilled that almost all of a person's personality is extrapolated, enough to just about know what they are thinking.

Vacuum- can deactivate other superpowers.His main method of killing is by deactivating Required Secondary Superpowers.

Reflection- Can create an invisible and intangible clone doing exactly what he is doing at the given time. The clone activates when he moves away. Say he is holding some guy. He can activate his clone and walk away and the man would still be being held in place. If the man escapes, the clone dies and disapears.

Chronotron: He is a half human, half man hero. His power gives him the ability to relive any event in his history. For example, if he accidently broke an important artifact, he could relive that moment, but stop the artifact from breaking. When ever he flashes back in to his history, he closes his eyes and there is a flash. Whenever he is in his past history, time freezes in the real world for him. In order to take someone with him on the time journey, he has to grab someone's arm first. Then when they open their eyes in the past history, they will know that they have traveled back in their history.

I have an original superpower bestowing device:

The Squash'n'Stretcher: It transforms anyone who uses it into a cartoon character, with all the Toon Physics-based ability that entails. Warning: May cause personality exaggeration, strong risk of brain warping if used too often.

Carbohydrate Man- Can sense any carbohydrates (especially toast) within a 20-mile radius.

I think this next idea will be the next Deadpool:

His name is Panel, a skinny, lean man, with a blue-silver shirt with the letter "P" on it, and the P is in a box. He lives in a comic book universe, with the cool texture like in Fairy Odd Parents. The twist is he is the only one with the word bubbles, and he can interact with the word bubbles, sound effect pictures and narration boxes to his fortune. He can also eavesdrop on bad guy's-or anybody's- conversations by peeking through panels. He can even jump back or forward a comic frame to be able to get to one place to another in a short amount of time.

He would also have a special weapon he would use every episode when there is nothing else to do- he uses his Magic Pencil of Power. He would draw anything to help him in his predicament, and it would be there.

This SHOULD be a superhero cartoon.

Peek: the ability to switch perspectives with anybody in range

Bliss and Happiness: The user is a contagious ball of happiness, being able to bring joy to those around them (but not goodness- some people enjoy being evil, after all). In addition, Ignorance Is Bliss- for example, if the person is poisoned or cut across the back, so long as they don't know about it they'll be fine. It's a step down from Achievements in Ignorance- this is simply the person being unaware that they're in pain or in danger, rather than being unaware of logic's boundaries. I have a character named Emile with this power, he's a rather young child who loves everyone and acts as a foil to his older sister Madison, who's driven by anger and revenge rather than fun and friendship.

Cartridge Copying: The user can insert video game cartridges, discs, etc. into themselves or otherwise read or copy the data, giving them the powers of that game's protagonist (i.e. jumping high and throwing fireballs, dropping blocks everywhere).

Killing time: the ability to stop existing for a predetermined amount of time. The user reappears in the exact same location they disappeared in, with no knowledge of what's happened in the interim. Admittedly, this is vulnerable to Heart Is an Awesome Power- I based it off one application of Diavolo's King Crimson which, like most Jojo Big Bad powers, was completely broken.
