Be warned, not everyone [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity reacts well]] to getting super powers.
If you want to boost these powers through the roof, consider using an AmplifierArtifact.
If you want to put a limit on them, give them a finite PowerSource.
When it would take too long to think of a different one for every character, why not try a MassSuperEmpoweringEvent or RandomlyGifted?
