* ComicBook/AnimalMan started off with the ability to copy the abilities of any animal near him, but after [[RetCon an epiphany that he was connected to all life in the universe]], he could take on the traits of any animal at any time from [[Comicbook/MartianManhunter any]] [[Franchise/{{Superman}} planet...]] [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands any planet at all.]]
* ComicBook/{{Aquaman}}. That's right, Aquaman. The ButtMonkey of Franchise/TheDCU for decades, the {{Trope Namer|s}} for ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman and requiring one PlotTailoredToTheParty after another to be at all relevant, he is absolutely ''not'' as weak as common opinion believes. A combination of RequiredSecondaryPowers (he can swim like a fish and punch people while under 500+ atmospheres of pressure, which is Superman level asskickery) and FridgeHorror (he commands ''everything'' that lives in the ocean; guess where Franchise/{{Godzilla}}, [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Cthulhu]], and [[KrakenAndLeviathan the Leviathan]] live?) have had many writers portray him as horrifically powerful and outright ''feared'' by heroes and villains alike, and for very good reasons. And that is before considering that he is also the king of a lost civilization with its own military force of (slightly weaker) super humans, giant ocean monsters and super advanced weaponry.
-->"He could control every creature that lives in the sea. But I don't think either of you know what that really ''means''. Do you know, do you ''understand'', do you have any ''idea'' how much life there is in just one single square mile of sea? I don't think you do... and if you multiply that by ''lots'' of miles in every direction... I'd never seen anything like it in my whole life... and God as my witness, [[GoMadFromTheRevelation I hope to never see it again]]."
** Aquaman's wife ComicBook/{{Mera}} is no slouch in this department either. As an Atlantean, she has super strength and durability and has been shown as [[InASingleBound capable of jumping out of the water directly onto a flying plane.]] But her greatest weapon is her [[MakingASplash ability to control, manipulate and shape water to her will]]. Her feats include pushing back a tidal wave the size of a city, drawing the moisture out of a person's body, and collecting the water in a person's body to flood their lungs.
** Garth the original Aqualad originally wasn't much to write home about, simply having the standard Atlantian physical stats but not on Aquaman's level. But then he became [[SidekickGraduationsStick Tempest]] and learned magic from the sorcerer Atlan. Since then, Garth has gained the ability to not only manipulate water but also control it's temperature, meaning he can either heat water to the point of evaporation or freeze it solid. He can fire purple energy beams from his eyes, sense magical energies, travel through dimensions, wields minor telekinesis, summon demons, astral project and, if he possesses Poseidon's Trident, can travel through time.
* [[DarkMagicalGirl Black Alice]] has [[PowerParasite the ability to instantly steal]] anybody's magical powers. And we do mean ''anybody''. From [[DealWithTheDevil Felix]] [[EvilSorcerer Faust]] to [[DeusExMachina the]] [[PhysicalGod freaking]] [[ComicBook/TheSpectre Spectre]].
* ComicBook/BlueBeetle. Jaime Reyes may be considered a combination of Franchise/SpiderMan and ComicBook/IronMan, but he's got more than just that. His alien scarab is a DoAnythingRobot which grants him vast destructive power and a wide variety of abilities whenever he needs it. He's got SuperStrength, {{Flight}}, VoluntaryShapeshifting, {{Arm Cannon}}s, AdaptiveAbility to face his opponents, NighInvulnerability, and much, much more. To give you an idea of what else he can do, he can turn {{invisib|ility}}le when he needs to, or [[ArtificialGill breathe underwater]] whenever the situation calls for it, or make a special surfboard to ride the winds inside a tornado. His ability to adapt to any situation also deserves special mention, as he can produce ''Kryptonite radiation'', and his blasts are strong enough to harm ''The Spectre''. He once [[HoldingBackThePhlebotinum Held Back The Phlebotinum]] against a villain (who was kicking his ass at the time), because he refused to use any weapon that, to quote his scarab, had "theological implications".
* [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel]] and his EvilCounterpart ComicBook/BlackAdam. In addition to the standard FlyingBrick power set, which enables them to go toe-to-toe with Franchise/{{Superman}} or race Franchise/TheFlash, they're also TheNeedless and TheAgeless in their superpowered forms (Black Adam is [[TimeAbyss 5,000 years old]]), have powerful {{Healing Factor}}s, are invulnerable (or at least incredibly resistant) to MindManipulation, and possess vast mental capabilities that include SuperIntelligence, a PhotographicMemory, and the ability to [[{{Omniglot}} speak basically every language on Earth]]. Oh, and unlike Superman, they have no KryptoniteFactor and are not vulnerable to magic.
* Franchise/TheFlash has a tendency to fall into this, DependingOnTheWriter. While SuperSpeed sounds simple enough on paper, it's more like an ImaginationBasedSuperpower in the hands of an author who knows how to use his TechnoBabble. He's used his superspeed to time travel, travel between dimensions, become intangible (and make other people or things intangible), become invisible, cure himself of detrimental conditions, increase or decrease the speed of other people and objects (including turning someone into, effectively, a living statue), create whirlwinds strong enough to lift others aloft (sometimes just by spinning his arms), extinguish fires, melt large amounts of snow and ice, fly, throw lightning bolts, and power large machinery, among other things. At one point he started fabricating items from pure speed, whatever the heck that means. One of his famous tricks? Infinite Mass Punch. It's exactly what it sounds like. And it ''should'' be able to [[OneHitKO oneshot]] anybody that has a physical form, even Superman. Flash eventually ''taught'' Supes the same move.
* ''Franchise/{{Green Lantern}}s'' have variously been shown to use their rings to control time, teleport, create sentient life, duplicate others, themselves, and/or their rings (which in at least one story [[WishingForMoreWishes explicitly multiplied the power they had]]), become intangible, turn themselves into Kryptonians, temporarily recreate the entire rest of the GLC and pretty much anything you can imagine. Hal Jordan once survived being killed by ''pulling his own soul back into his body''. In order to write workable stories they've slowly been depowered to "making any object they can imagine" which is still pretty awesome.
** Sodam Yat. Take Superman, give him a Green Lantern ring, then merge him with the Ion symbiote which makes its host practically nigh-omnipotent and you've got Sodam. Shame about the lead poisoning...
** As Kyle Rayner pointed out during the Nero arc, a GL ring can split atoms. Now imagine that power in the hands of a lunatic...
** The Blue Lanterns are explicitly more powerful then the Green Lanterns, and can bring other ring users up to their level temporarily. It helps that they have a crippling WeaksauceWeakness, though (namely, their list of powers on their own is impressive-but-useless-in-a-fight, like the ability to rejuvenate suns, and having powers that rely on the power of hope is an iffy proposition when living in a CrapsackWorld).
** And then there's the Orange Lanterns. They have all the powers of a Green Lantern, are a HiveMind Virus, and can absorb other energy constructs with ease, something even Sodam Yat has trouble with. Thankfully there's (technically) only one of them (and that one is too isolated and self-absorbed to act on his own unless goaded into it by external events).
** The Black Lantern rings offer their reanimated hosts the benefits of the standard power aura and energy constructs that most of the other rings can generate, a HealingFactor that makes Wolverine's seem reasonable by comparison, and ''immunity to magic''. This is on top of any superpowers the host might have had in life. Then again, since the ring also turns its host into a flesh-eating murderous zombie that has to (and worse, wants to) rip out hearts filled with emotion, [[spoiler: and considering the host's soul isn't brought back either,]] and that you have to be dead in the first place, getting one of these rings isn't really a case of "winning" the lottery.
** The wielders of the Indigo Light (compassion) can absorb and redirect the powers of other Lanterns of the rest of the emotion spectrum. What really sets them apart: by redirecting the power of a Green Lantern ''[[spoiler: they can remove Black Lantern rings, destroying the zombie Lanterns]]''.
** And then there's the White Light, which was the original source of the other seven colors, and can not only override any and all of them, but can bring people back to life. [[DeathIsCheap Not that that means much.]]
* The final BigBad of the DC Comics series ''[[ComicBook/DialHForHero H.E.R.O.]]'' was a serial killer who found [[SuperEmpowering the power dial]], which turns its user into a random superhero when used, and gained the power to have any super-power he could think of. Robby Reed, the dial's original user, points the trope out, saying that while your average dialed hero is pretty good, every now and then the dial hands out what he calls a "jackpot" -- and the bad guy in question won bigger than anyone before or since.
-->'''Robby:''' Most of the time, the dial gives you one power, or maybe a couple of related powers. This guy's going to hit the superpower lottery. We're talking Superman levels of power. Nightmare levels.
* ''[[Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica Justice League]]'' villain Amazo, by virtue of his AllYourPowersCombined. The Franchise/{{D|CAnimatedUniverse}}CAU version became something similar through a variant of PowerCopying, and eventually becomes [[PhysicalGod a virtual god]].
* ''ComicBook/{{Legion of Super-Heroes}}'':
** There was a character in the Heroes of Lallor named Duplicate Boy. His power? To have any power he wanted. Fortunately, he was only a supporting character and rarely appeared.
** In a similar boat: Nemesis Kid, who had the power to give himself whatever power was needed to defeat a single opponent. (Didn't stop him from getting his {{neck snap}}ped by Projectra, proving that [[NotSoInvincibleAfterAll all the power in the world can't beat awesome]].)
** Then there is Earth-Man (formerly Absorbancy Boy), who has the ability to temporarily absorb as many powers as he wants, turning him, in his words, into a "one-man Legion". Unfortunately for the Legion, he's a sociopathic xenophobe who wants to [[FantasticRacism wipe out all species except humans]].
* The ComicBook/MartianManhunter. His full list of Post-Crisis demonstrated powers covers half the StockSuperpowers page (and not in a JackOfAllTrades sense: he's a FlyingBrick on par with Superman, a [[VoluntaryShapeshifting shapeshifter]] on par with Plastic Man, one of the most powerful [[PsychicPowers psychics]] in the setting... and that ''still'' is only covering the meat-and-potato basics for him), and his [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] version was even ''more'' arbitrarily powerful.
** And yet he is ''still'' always a victim of TheWorfEffect. "Oh my gosh if he defeated Martian Manhunter how can Superman defeat him?" Apparently the answer to this question is always "Easily". Sometimes his astoundingly WeaksauceWeakness to fire plays a role in that (in the worst instances, lighting a match is as effective against him as green kryptonite is against Supes), but other times it's just that for all his powers, Superman trumps him in the one that matters above all others: PopularityPower.
** The best power he has since lost is the ability to ''gain the powers'' of whatever form he changed into! He would lose his standard set (except for the ability to shapeshift), but who cares? Used sensibly (which it generally wasn't), this gives J'onn the winning ticket in the SuperpowerLottery all by itself.
* ''ComicBook/PlasticMan'': RubberMan is not a power that sounds particularly potent, does it? Well, it is when cranked UpToEleven. Plas' abilities basically boil down to absurdly flexible and instantaneous VoluntaryShapeshifting (his only limitation being his inability to change color, though he's even overcome that on occasion), combined with an absurd threshold for punishment: Plas has survived being shot, stabbed, melted, frozen-and-shattered, spread across the sea floor for thousands of years, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking riddled with rubber bullets]], and is basically immune to PsychicPowers and BalefulPolymorph due to his inhuman physiology. Famously, Batman once concluded that he was stronger than ''Martian Manhunter,'' and that if Plas ever went rogue... well, his contingency plan for that was really just a backup for his plan A: "don't let that happen". His son Offspring is noted as being even stronger, though exactly how tends to be vague (besides the ability to change color).
* ''ComicBook/TheSpectre'', whose powers are whatever the authors feel he should have. Sort of justified in that the Spectre is more or less an extension of {{God}} (as in, the actual God, not some SufficientlyAdvancedAlien pretending to be God).
* Franchise/{{Superman}}:
** Superman has so many powers that an entire title's worth of ''ComicBook/XMen'' could be fielded with them (generally include EyeBeams, FlyingBrick, NighInvulnerability, SuperBreath, SuperSpeed and SuperStrength). They also tend to be at the highest end of the power spectrum for each, rendering him immensely powerful even among other equally strong and widely powered individuals. While quite a few writers have managed to sort it out and write engaging stories with him in defiance of his closeness to being a DeusExMachina, even other characters in the setting comment on (or become envious of) his many powers. The short form: With Superman around, the ''other'' guys in the [[Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica Justice League]] can probably leave Supes to do his work.
** UsefulNotes/{{The Silver Age|of Comic Books}} Superman was given basically anything you could stick the word "super" in front of as a power and while modern Superman can juggle battleships, the old one could juggle '''planets'''.
** Infamous character Superboy-Prime explicitly has the Silver Age level of power while modern Superman, while ''still'' pretty darned OP, has been scaled down from "destroy a solar system by sneezing" level. The insane, godlike absolute height of Superman's power... in the body of a bratty teenager. This is not a good thing, obviously.
** Comicbook/{{Supergirl}} is Superman's cousin. She has ''all'' of his powers, and she's as powerful as him. And if that weren't enough, she has a Red Lantern Ring during the ''Comicbook/RedDaughterOfKrypton'' story arc. In Supergirl vol. 6 #32 she says she might just be the most dangerous thing in the universe, and she is pretty right. This is why her parents sent her to Earth, [[Comicbook/TheSupergirlFromKrypton apparently]].
** Lampshaded in ''Comicbook/ManyHappyReturns'':
--->'''Kara:''' Did you hear that? People screaming... and some sort of roaring...\\
'''Superboy:''' I don't — Are you hearing...?\\
'''Linda:''' I got nothin'.\\
'''Kara:''' And now I can see it, right in Metropolis, with my telescopic vision!\\
'''Superboy:''' Her what? Is there any power she doesn't have?
** The original ComicBook/PowerGirl is an AlternateUniverse older Supergirl. She gets Superman's full combo platter, except her KryptoniteFactor only exists in an alternate universe.
** One cannot forget Linda Danvers, the [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Earth-born angel]] version of Supergirl. She was a FlyingBrick with PsychicPowers (telekinesis and, for a while, pyrokinesis) and shapeshifting.
** And then there's Matrix, an ArtificialHuman version of Supergirl from another dimension. In addition to being a FlyingBrick, she was also a telekinetic, shapeshifter and could turn invisible.
** Superboy-Prime isn't the only ComicBook/{{Superboy}} to win the lottery. Time travel and an OvernightAgeUp have revealed [[ComicBook/Superboy1994 Kon-El]] will develop all of Superman's Kryptonian abilities, plus his [[{{Telekinesis}} tactile telekinesis]] will develop into full-blown telekinesis with which he can affect entire city blocks--and block magical attacks, one of Superman's few weaknesses.
** There is also Kal Kent, the 853rd century Superman from ''ComicBook/DCOneMillion''. "Faster than a speeding Tachyon, more powerful than a collapsing star, and able to leap between planets in a single bound". Full Kryptonian powers "evolved into the far future" with a bunch of add-ons like telekinesis, telepathy, and ten additional senses.
** The end of ''DC One Million'' features the triumphant return of the ''original'' Superman, still alive and, after centuries of development, even more powerful than his descendant.
** SelfDemonstrating/{{Bizarro}} and ComicBook/{{Bizarrogirl}} are imperfect Kryptonian clones/counterparts. They have the Kryptonian powerset, but some powers are opposite or reversed: flame breath instead of arctic breath, freezing vision rather than heat beams, and Bizarrogirl has petrifying vision in contrast to Supergirl's X-Ray vision.
** Maxima, a Superman rogue, sometimes, abuses this nearly as badly as Martian Manhunter. On top of being near Kryptonians in all physical stats, she is able to teleport herself or others, create force fields, control over metals, manipulate inorganic matter (usually to change her clothes on a whim), EyeBeams, multiple forms of mental power, illusion projection, and telekinesis. Though this may be explained because she is a product of selective gene manipulation to produce powerful offspring.
** Superman villain Hank Henshaw, alias the Cyborg-Superman. Originally an {{Energy Being|s}} who could infest and control all forms of technology, Henshaw upgraded his act by using Superman's birthing matrix to create a cyborg body that incorporated Kryptonian alloys and organic parts cloned from Superman. Then he upgraded again by adding Apokoliptian technology, again when he became Grandmaster of the Manhunters, and ''again'' when he joined the Sinestro Corps. The end result is a killing machine possessed of all Superman's powers, plus {{technopath}}ic control over an army of robots, the ability to instantly manufacture any Kryptonian or Apokoliptian weapon, a GreenLanternRing, and a complete inability to die. That last one is a real problem, as [[DeathSeeker he'd really like to die now, please.]]
** Doomsday's power is evolution. Whatever kills him, he comes back immune to that. Beat him to a pulp? He comes back much tougher. Throw him into space? He wakes up being able to live without air. He'll even develop defenses to get around those actively attacking him -- he once was able to extend his bony knuckle protrusions and poison Superman and bellowed out fire to strike down the Martian Manhunter.
** Vartox, an alien superhero and rival of Superman in the pre-ComicBook/{{Crisis|on Infinite Earths}} days, who once admitted to Superman that he periodically discovered powers he didn't even realize he had.
* Not only does Franchise/WonderWoman have strength, speed, and impact resistance within a hair of Superman, but she has a huge array of gear and minor abilities. Most people know about the block-anything bracers and the lasso that's unbreakable and made of truth (which is a "downgrade" from its old 'compel the target to do anything' powers, though recent writers have revealed it works by [[MindRape reaching down and grabbing someone's soul]], which is fun), but did you know her tiara can cut anything? That she can [[SpeaksFluentAnimal speak with animals]], and [[HealingFactor heals at an accelerated rate]] due to her connection to Gaia? That she's immune to fire? That thanks to the goddess Athena sharing her visions that she can see through illusions? That's not a complete list.
** [[ComicBook/WonderGirl Donna Troy and Cassie Sandsmark]] have the FlyingBrick powers and combat training that Diana possesses as well as a magic lasso of their own each. Donna's can mind control her enemies while Cassie's can channel Zeus's lightning.
** Nubia, a reoccurring Amazon character, would qualify. The [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 pre-Crisis version]] had the standard Amazon powers of enhanced strength, speed, stamina and durability and was a well trained combatant. She also possessed a magic sword given to her by Mars which was considered the only weapon that was a match for Diana's lasso. The [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1987 post-Crisis]] version of Nubia had enhanced superhuman physical abilities, flight and 3000 years of combat experience due to her immortality. She could also travel to different realms of myth and possessed the ability to turn anyone [[TakenForGranite to stone]] [[DeadlyGaze with her gaze]], a power that was bestowed upon her by the Gorgons.
* ''ComicBook/ShadeTheChangingMan'', Creator/PeterMilligan's version. He could create hallucinations, he could create physical objects, he could change himself, he could change others, he could bring himself back from the dead, teleport, make and grow interdimensional spaces, and even travel through ''time itself''! A few reasons why this worked:
** Non-heroic comic book. That means all other characters get no gimmicks, so their character development has to be focused on ''character''. And so you had purely normal, believable personalities who were at least as interesting as the guy with the powers, or moreso.
** Shade's powers were just as often the plaything of his own issue-riddled subconscious. And the more adept Shade got at using his powers, the more colossally his fucked up mind could fashion a MindScrew.
* Doctor Manhattan of ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'' (main page picture, in center), who is basically a nascent {{Energy Being|s}} who is just discovering that he is more or less a PhysicalGod. This in a setting completely ''devoid'' of superpowers above BadassNormal. He is however also hamstrung by being omniscient along his own personal timeline, meaning he always knows the events of his past and future with perfect clarity and thus has no free will. Every action he takes is utterly deterministic because he views his future actions as having already happened. Furthermore, his mere existence has [[AlternateHistory significantly altered the course of history]] - and with the exception of some new power sources and the early adoption of electric cars, [[CrapsackWorld not for the better]]. He would go on to top all that by interfering in the DCU timeline to create the ComicBook/New52.
* Captain Allen Adam from the post-''Comicbook/FiftyTwo'' Earth-4 of DC's multiverse is a RealityWarper in a world where everyone else is a BadassNormal. (Doctor Manhattan was based on the original Creator/CharltonComics Comicbook/CaptainAtom; Captain Adam, in turn, is a combination of Manhattan and Captain Atom.)
* Richard Swift aka the ComicBook/{{Shade}}. You'd think that being able to create constructs and sentient beings out of [[CastingAShadow shadows]], cause an absence of light and teleport vast distances in a short amount of time would be impressive enough. But he is also virtually unkillable (demonstrated when he survived getting his heart torn out by a [[ComicBook/BlackestNight Black Lantern]]). His powers are considered to be outside supernatural forces such as magic and continued to work when the Genesis event depowered everyone else. A future version of himself was able to create corridors through time made of shadow. It's been stated by Dr Fate that even the ''Spectre'' would have a tough time dealing with the Shade.
* Eve Eden aka ComicBook/{{Nightshade}} has a similar power set to the above mentioned Richard Swift. Like Swift, Eve can create objects and beings made out of shadow, [[ThePowerOfCreation which she's used to create living shadow homunculi and two ravens which she used to serve as scouts]]. She can make herself {{intangibil|ity}}e by transforming into a two-dimensional shadow creature and also gains super strength in this form. She is able to teleport to other locations by passing through the Land of Nightshades, her realm of origin.
* ComicBook/SwampThing. As an Avatar of [[GreenThumb "The Green"]] (the plane of existence for the hive-mind and life force of all plant-life on Earth), Swamp Thing can inhabit and animate vegetable matter anywhere, including alien plants, even sentient ones, and construct it into a body for himself. As a result, bodily attacks mean little to him, he can easily regrow damaged or severed body parts, and can even transport himself across the globe by leaving his current form, transferring his consciousness to a new form grown from whatever vegetable matter is present in the location he wishes to reach. He even grew himself a form out of ComicBook/JohnConstantine's meager tobacco supply on one occasion.
* ComicBook/{{Vixen}} has the same powers as the aforementioned Animal Man. She's also been shown to be able to duplicate the abilities of mythological animals such as dragons or even the abilities of other metahumans. The DC Universe being a FantasyKitchenSink sure helps.
* ''ComicBook/{{Touch}}'': Cooper Santiago can give anyone powers with the touch of his hand, but he has no control over what those powers are. Of the three people he touches in the second issue, the first develops impressive super strength, the second merely has his skin turn fluorescent and is useless for saving lives and the third develops impressive powers of telekineses, but ones which have a negative effect on his health.

[[folder:Marvel]]
* Comicbook/DoctorStrange, DependingOnTheWriter, can go from "merely" one of the stronger Earth bound heroes to perhaps the most powerful superhero in mainstream comics. His powers enable him to do almost ''anything'' -- at his best/worst, he ''is'' [[AWizardDidIt the Wizard who does it]] -- as he has learnt to command the most primal eldritch energies permeating the universe and is backed up by a host of otherdimensional magical patrons. But in his own titles he needs that level of power, because his RoguesGallery is ''also'' one of the most powerful in mainstream superhero comics, consisting of multiple [[EvilSorcerer Evil Sorcerers]], TheLegionsOfHell, at least one nigh-omnipotent OmnicidalManiac, and demonic [[DimensionLord Dimension Lords]] whose mere presence in our reality constitutes a doomsday event, amongst other diabolical horrors and cosmic menaces. Strange has collected and inherited artifacts that amplify his powers even further or protect him from numerous mystical dangers, and on top of all that he is a trained martial artist and a retired world-class surgeon. Put simply, there's a reason he's called the Sorcerer Supreme.
* ''ComicBook/TheEternals'', created by Creator/JackKirby, are an entire race of people who each won the Superpower Lottery at birth. Each and every one of them is born with their own innate GreenLanternRing, in the form of cosmic energy that suffuses them. Basic Eternal powers include: CompleteImmortality, [[MadeOfIron invulnerability to most forms of harm]] (including disease, poison, and extremes of heat and cold), a HealingFactor (for anything they're not invulnerable to), EyeBeams, the ability to [[WaterIsAir breathe underwater]], SuperStrength, [[FlyingBrick flight]], {{Telepathy}}, [[MasterOfIllusion casting illusions]], MindControl, {{teleportation}}, and, last but not least, [[BalefulPolymorph transmutation]]. And that's just the base power set. Some Eternals have trained themselves to use cosmic energy in different ways.
* ''Comicbook/FantasticFour'':
** Franklin Richards, son of the heroes [[ComicBook/InvisibleWoman Susan]] and [[ComicBook/MisterFantastic Reed]] Richards, suffers from intermittent [[GooGooGodlike omnipotence]], including at one point creating a universe in his hands out of boredom. In the many times Franklin has been given a temporary PlotRelevantAgeUp, he for whatever reason always gets ''weaker'' after growing up. Supposedly, he's more powerful as a child because [[AchievementsInIgnorance he doesn't know that half the things he does are supposed to be impossible.]] Or that they're probably bad ideas. In at least one AlternateTimeline, he marries the X-Men's Rachel Summers, another major winner of the lottery, and has a son. His son, Jonathan/Hyperstorm, of course far eclipses ''both'' his parents - or at least, what they were capable of. In [[ComicBook/EarthX another]], Franklin [[spoiler:becomes the next universe's Galactus]].
*** The post ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'' incarnation was, for a while, basically God. As in, he repopulated the multiverse with literally ''millions'' of universes (albeit with his father's guiding hand helping him out).
*** Franklin's weakness is that he can be burned out by using his powers to their fullest. Most future versions of him come from after a time he's had to do this, making him a more manageable character (as Psi-Lord, he's basically non-Phoenix Jean Grey.)
** The Super-Skrull has all the powers of the F4, the Skrulls' natural ability to shapeshift and his own hypnosis based powers.
** The ComicBook/InvisibleWoman originally started out as the most useless member of the Fantastic Four. Then she developed the ability to create force fields. Seems impressive enough but then she was able to create more complex shapes like swords, battering rams, discs, darts and bullets. She can, as she stated in the [[Film/FantasticFour2005 movie]], create a force field inside a body and expand it with lethal - and messy - results. She also has the ability to make other people and objects invisible, as demonstrated when she once tricked Dr Doom into crashing into a mountain she made invisible. She was even able to kill a [[CosmicEntity Celestial]] because her powers draw from the same source that made up the Celestial's armor. Today, Susan Storm is considered the most powerful member of the Fantastic Four and is surpassed in power level within her family only by her son Franklin.
* ComicBook/{{Galactus}}, ComicBook/SilverSurfer, and any of [[FanNickname G-diddy's]] other Heralds. The Power Cosmic lets them accomplish basically anything he wants, up to and including massive scale reality manipulation. Since Galactus is the primary holder he can bestow or revoke the PC as he pleases.
* ComicBook/CosmicGhostRider. Start with [[spoiler:[[ComicBook/ThePunisher Frank Castle]]]], give him the powers of ComicBook/GhostRider, then give him the [[ComicBook/{{Galactus}} Power Cosmic]] (as one of the aforementioned Heralds of Galactus), then let ComicBook/{{Thanos}} augment him [[BadFuture for a few million years]] and take it from there. He has a piece of the Time Stone from his Thanos-ruled reality, so he can time-travel, and chains forged from the bones of Cyttorak (the guy who gave ComicBook/{{Juggernaut|MarvelComics}} his powers: anything he wraps in them is completely unable to move). In his first solo series, he winds up fighting the Marvel roster from [[ExpendableAlternateUniverse another dystopian future,]] [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DqcJJ6KWkAEnwsn.jpg:large and just slaughters whole teams of heroes at once.]]
* The ComicBook/IncredibleHulk has unlimited strength, accelerated healing, the ability to breathe underwater, dynamic durability, and the ability to leap as high as Superman, and unlike Supes he has a high resistance to MindControl. He also has a number of minor abilities like absorbing gamma radiation and seeing ghosts and astral forms. As a bonus, Bruce Banner is one of the smartest men in the Marvel Universe, to the point where ComicBook/NormanOsborn decided he preferred fighting the Hulk. Come ''ComicBook/ImmortalHulk'', he adds ResurrectiveImmortality to the list. Note that most of these powers are directly proportional to his anger level, which will normally steadily increase over the course of a fight. The standard rule of thumb when fighting the Hulk is to hit him with everything you've got ''immediately'' and hope you can end the fight before it starts, because his powers will increase with every passing second that the fight continues.
** The ComicBook/RedHulk had a very similar power set to the green Hulk as well as the ability to absorb any type of energy such as cosmic rays. When he was infected by Cable's techno-organic virus, he was able to control his body heat to burn the virus out of his system. He also does not revert to human form when rendered unconscious unlike the green Hulk.
** Skaar and Hiro-Kala, the sons of Caiera and Hulk, inherited their father's gamma mutate powers and their mother's ability to [[DishingOutDirt control rock]], known as the Old Power to the people of Sakaar. Hiro-Kala took it to even more absurd levels, being able to fire energy blasts, project force fields and manifest a water-like substance. Eventually, Skaar had his Hulk powers taken from him by his father in his Doc Green persona and Hiro-Kala has since forsaken the Old Power in favor of using his Hulk form.
* ComicBook/BlackBolt, the King of ''ComicBook/TheInhumans'', is probably the ultimate example of this in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse. A basic listing of his powers includes a supersonic voice that, at max power, can destroy a planet (and, amplified by technology, has split open reality itself ''twice''); telekinesis; superhuman strength; matter and energy manipulation; transmutation; and flight. In nearly 50 years of existence, he's never lost a real fight, at worst being stalemated (or limited by circumstances). The only significant class of superpower he doesn't possess is telepathy, and that's because he's TheVoiceless. It is stated in ''ComicBook/WorldWarHulk'' that he is that second most powerful hero, beaten only by The Sentry, so when Hulk, who is more angry than he as ever been before, shows up and gives him a beating, [[OhCrap the Avengers know that they are in big trouble]].
** Crystal, Black Bolt's sister-in-law, is no slouch in this department either, being able to command the four classical elements of water, fire, earth and air.
* ComicBook/TheMightyThor, whose list of powers is pretty long even without including Mjolnir; and if he has full access to the Odinforce that week, then he's a full-blown RealityWarper. Also, the majority of other name Asgardians; even the weaker name ones tend to have a wide variety of physical powers, a magical weapon or two, and at least one schtick power. For what that matters, ComicBook/{{Loki}}, Thor's adoptive brother and arch enemy, who is a [[SorcerousOverlord master in sorcery]] and [[ManipulativeBastard manipulation]] and even in his "''SquishyWizard''" interpretation is still capable of lifting up to 30-50 tons with his bare hands - and that's '30-50 tons' as Marvel's relative power scale, meaning that he's actually capable of lifting far more than that. Killer Movies [[http://www.killermovies.com/forums/f98/t551221.html even has a list of his powers]].
* In ''Comicbook/{{Runaways}}'', Nico Minoru's Staff of One lets her do ''anything'' (with the apparent limit of resurrection being off-limits)... [[ItOnlyWorksOnce but only once]] per effect. Lately, she's gained some measure of magic ability on her own, at least enough to fly around on her own power.
** She also found out that, in a cross over with the Young Avengers, she can recast a spell if she says it in a different language. Go count how many languages there are out there, and then look at that "weakness".
** Though at times the staff is surprisingly literal, and if she casts a spell from a word with multiple meanings, there's no guarantee which one will take effect.
** ''ComicBook/AvengersArena'' has basically confirmed that ''nothing'' is off limits for the Staff of One, provided the blood sacrifice is big enough. For example, [[spoiler:when Nico is bleeding out, she's able to cast one last spell... that brings her BackFromTheDead]].
* ComicBook/{{Thanos}} the Mad Titan is one of Marvel's archvillains for a reason. He's one of the Eternals mentioned above, and while he's from a weaker offshoot of the Eternal population, he's also a mutant with a Deviant-like appearance which granted him even more super strength and toughness. These are just his natural powers. He's also got a fiendishly cunning mind, access to advanced technology, and he has a tendency to seek out powerful cosmic artifacts like Cosmic Cubes and the Infinity Gems. The only weaknesses he has are purely psychological ones: his obsession with Death and his subconscious self-defeatism.\\
\\
[[spoiler:Thanos' son Thane]] may be even more powerful than his father. He has two powers: he can [[RealityWarper warp reality]] with his left hand, and trap people in a state of [[AndIMustScream "living death"]] with his right. To put things in perspective, he was able to [[spoiler:easily defeat his father Thanos]] with the second power without any practice. His only weakness is that [[PowerIncontinence he can't fully control his powers]]. Yet. However, it turns out that he's not up to his father in psychological combat, and so even the power of the Phoenix doesn't help.
* ComicBook/{{Ultron}} may be one of the most overpowered supervillains ever. His entire body is made of Adamantium and Vibranium, which means he's MadeOfIndestructium to the point where even ComicBook/TheMightyThor struggles just leaving a dent in it -- before he repairs himself anyways. He's shown more durability than freaking ''Thanos'', and that's just the tip of the iceberg. His energy blasts, at max, can wreck planets no problem. He treats some of the heaviest-hitters of the Marvel Universe as an annoyance, and went toe-to-toe with Comicbook/TheSentry and took ''no damage'' in the fight. His {{Technopath}} abilities deserve mention, as he could enslave the techno-organic Phalanx race through sheer force of will, and then used that to conquer the Kree Empire. He's so feared that even ''ComicBook/DoctorDoom'' (himself a lottery winner) has stated Ultron is the most terrifying thing that ever lived, a more than valid claim.
* ''ComicBook/XMen'':
** ComicBook/ScarletWitch is pretty much all-powerful at this point, thanks to her initial [[WindsOfDestinyChange Power of Probability]] being redefined into a RealityWarper by writers apparently haunted by Laplace's demon.
** ComicBook/JeanGrey[=/=]Phoenix gets this, but she went mad with power. Now Jean didn't actually have god-tier power immediately after she fused with the Phoenix Force, but then [[RunningTheAsylum she suddenly is more powerful than ever before, and more dangerous]]: Jean Grey ''alone'' can lift upwards of twenty tons with her brain (and, based on her displayed showings, this is a ''drastic'' underestimate). With limited Phoenix power, she can use external objects as a sense of touch and recompose matter at a molecular level (as in, turn ''anything'' into ''anything else'' by using her telekinesis at such a fine-tune level that she can take it apart atom by atom and make different molecules out of those atoms. Imagine performing several quintillion surgeries, so fast that it takes mere seconds.) [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Unhinged]], she can teleport anywhere in the universe at will and devour stars. Then it turns out she has ''[[PhysicalGod one more]]'' level beyond that where she can exist outside of reality proper and has total control over space and time itself. On top of all that, if you kill her she comes back basically whenever she feels like it. Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
** Jean and Cyclops' daughter, ComicBook/RachelSummers, is arguably every bit as powerful as her mama, if not more so - for instance, she didn't need the Phoenix to master molecular manipulation, she's mastered Time Travel to the point of being able to travel across millennia, and she's effectively the only person to consistently and ''successfully'' control the Phoenix Force, to the point of being called 'the One True Phoenix'. Needless to say, she gets nerfed a lot, but she's still fairly impressive, flattening an entire Avengers squad in one shot during ''ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen''.
** ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}, through the effects of power inflation, has reached this point. In older stories, an injured Wolverine actually required medical treatment when his healing factor could not regenerate fast enough. Modern stories feature him being burned down to a skeleton and healing, or regenerating an entire body from a drop of blood. One storyline brought his regenerative abilities back to a more believable level, hand-waving all its previous exaggerated exploits with [[AWizardDidIt magic]].
** ComicBook/{{Iceman}} at his full potential is not just AnIcePerson, but has full control over moisture itself. This includes absorbing bodies of water to increase his size, teleportation (not quite, but close enough) by traveling through water vapor, physical immortality, since he can reconstitute his body from ''any'' source of moisture, and he even killed a villain by drawing the water from her body.
** Then there's [[ComicBook/XMan Nate Grey]], the ComicBook/AgeOfApocalypse's LaserGuidedTykeBomb answer to ComicBook/{{Cable}} (and thus son of Scott and Jean, brother to Rachel), with all Cable's potential and then some. Even as a barely trained teenager with an inbuilt [[SuperPowerMeltDown flaw in his powers]], he: crushed [=AoA=]!Apocalypse and left him to Magneto's lack of mercy; repeatedly treated Apocalypse's OmnicidalManiac son (a vicious PersonOfMassDestruction) as a passing annoyance even when only his telekinesis was working; accidentally resurrected two people; beat the below-mentioned Exodus to a pulp; repeatedly resurrected himself; and beat waves of superheroes. Following some training and the genetic flaw getting fixed, he treated the multiverse as his personal step ladder, [[RealityWarper reality as his play-thing]], death as a passing inconvenience, and time as an optional extra. He later got a boost [[ComicBook/UncannyXMen2018 from the Life Seed]]. Since the Life Seed is the GoodCounterpart (broadly speaking) of the Apocalypse-creating Death Seed, capable of making AOA Wolverine into a PhysicalGod, the results were... spectacular. As in, he casually [[RealityWarper warped]] the world, effortlessly flattened multiple teams of X-Men (including a significant number of the characters on this list) while simultaneously keeping Apocalypse as a prisoner and Magneto (among others) on a psychic leash, flattened Legion (a RealityWarper in his own right) in less than five seconds after a calm [[BreakThemByTalking Breaking Speech]], and then held off all of the above minus Legion, while carrying on a calm psychic chat with Jean, and taking everyone present out in one shot, taking them to his own [[ComicBook/AgeOfXMan plane of existence]].
** Cable himself, with most of his power going to hold back the techno-organic virus that's consuming him. When he's been freed from it, he's shown Phoenix-grade power. Needless to say, [[HoldingBackThePhlebotinum he doesn't get to stay that way for long]].
** The previously mentioned Exodus, Bennet du Paris, has PsychicPowers on such a scale that he could take on ComicBook/{{Apocalypse}} (ironically, the one who activated those powers in the first place) and entire teams of X-Men, and call himself "Magneto's heir in spirit ''and power''" with perfect justification. He once boasted that his powers - which primarily include telepathy, telekinesis, and teleportation - were so vast that ComicBook/{{Rogue}} couldn't steal more than one. He was technically right about that, too. When Wolverine and Rogue asked their resident BlindSeer what he could do, the answer they got was "Whatever he wants".
** ComicBook/HopeSummers, as the 'Mutant Messiah', technically lucked out power-wise - she's like Rogue, but she can copy as many powers as she likes, without draining those she's copying and dealing with their pesky thoughts in her brain, and she might well be an Omega Class telepath and telekinetic on top of that (if Stryfe is to be believed, anyway). Oh, and she's a former host of the Phoenix. Of course, if she's not around another mutant, her powers are largely reduced to being a BadassNormal trained by Cable.
** A more recent addition is Darwin, whose power is to grow [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands new abilities based on the situation at hand]]. His powers were initially supposed to be purely defensive, but apparently the situation then grew out of hand, and writers started adding ''offensive'' to ''overpowering''. For instance, when fighting the Hulk, his powers merely teleported him into the next state for his protection... but that same fight saw one of the first offensive uses of his powers, when Darwin sucks the gamma radiation out of the Hulk.
** Sage started as just a secretary with photographic memory, but experienced PowerCreepPowerSeep until now she's telepathic, super-intelligent, more badass than Wolverine, able to control minds, and even able to enhance other mutants' powers.
** Occasional BigBad ComicBook/{{Apocalypse}}'s mutant powers have never been quite clearly defined. He's generally portrayed with immortality, super-strength, laser beams, shape-changing, regeneration (when he doesn't have NighInvulnerability), telekinesis, technopathy, and super-intelligence, and he once demonstrated minor intangibility. Essentially he has every single physical superpower, most of which ultimately could be derived just from his high-level shape-shifting. Most of his higher-end powers though come from taking advantage of Celestial technology that he discovered long ago. His default powers are immortality, super-intelligence and his bizarre skin colour; he also still had superhuman strength, speed, durability, endurance and healing, not to mention he was [[LargeAndInCharge something like 12 feet tall]], but they were nowhere near as nerfed as he is nowadays.
** DependingOnTheWriter, ComicBook/{{Magneto}} really lucked out where superpowers are concerned. He went from menacing the X-Men with girders to controlling the entire electromagnetic spectrum, which ''should'' make him pretty much unbeatable (after all, he controls one of the four fundamental forces of the universe). And at times he ''was'' virtually unbeatable, being ranked as ''the'' most powerful being on Earth-616 in 1993. He's now officially classed as an Omega-level mutant, settling him on the high end.
** In general, any Omega-level mutant falls to this, with the possible exception of [[ComicBook/GreatLakesAvengers Mr. Immortal]]. Essentially, an Omega-level mutant has no upper limit to whatever specific thing their powers control. Note that many famously ultra-powerful mutants like Magneto and Apocalypse were ''not'' officially classified as Omega-level for a very long time (Magneto now is). Let's not think about ComicBook/SquirrelGirl.
** Then of course, there's [[Comicbook/{{Exiles}} Mimic]], who is basically AllYourPowersCombined personified. He can copy up to five other mutants at a time, but only gets half their power. Sounds kind of weak, until you realize that the different powers interact. In his first appearance, he'd mimicked ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}, ComicBook/{{Beast|MarvelComics}}, and ComicBook/{{Colossus}}, among others. Yes, his claws were bone, and only half as long as Wolvie's. Yes, he was only half as strong as Beast. But when he [[VoluntaryShapeShifting turned himself into living metal]], those claws became much deadlier, and his animalistic strength got taken UpToEleven. This is a guy who can ''rig'' the Superpower Lottery.
** The "normal" Franchise/MarvelUniverse version of Mimic also gets this to some degree. He has permanently taken on the abilities of the original five X-Men, and can take also on the powers of anyone else he's around. He returned after a long absence by proving to be comatose... until Wolverine [[HealingFactor stood too close]]. It hasn't happened yet, but he could easily hit god level if he has their full potential instead of being stuck at the level the powers were when he got them. Unfortunately, unlike Exiles Mimic, he is not entirely stable. [[note]]No, really, think of what each X-Man's greatest feat has been, and imagine him or her being able to operate at that level all the time easily. If Mimic's powers are as expandable for them as they proved to be for the original wielders, even Jean's full ''non-Phoenix'' potential could move mountains and control matter at a molecular level, as well as giving him influence over every mind within (an ever bigger) range. Scott's eyebeams can amp up to "stagger the Juggernaut or disintegrate a Sentinel" class. The full physical ability of the Beast could make him Spidey-class agile and nigh-Colossus class strong, Iceman's full ability, as an Omega, would be unlimited control of both water and temperature as well as turning to ice rendering him MadeOfAir (think a colder Hydro-Man), and even Angel's maneuverability at its maximum could make him all of the above... and impossible to hit. Death from above. If this happened when he was on the 'evil' side of the HeelFaceRevolvingDoor, he could become worse than all the {{Big Bad}}s combined if the writers didn't have this unfortunate tendency to forget he exists for decades at a time.[[/note]]
** At last count, ComicBook/{{Legion|MarvelComics}} had a ''thousand'' powers, with more developing. The thing is, each power is under the control of [[SplitPersonality a separate personality]], and they're the only ones who can use it (although there are ways around even ''that''). A sane and functional Legion would be a reality warper of terrifying scale. As it is, he still caused the ComicBook/AgeOfApocalypse and the Age of X.
** Meggan Puceanu a.k.a. Gloriana won pretty big: she's got standard flying brick powers up to class 50, she's an extremely powerful shapeshifter who can take on the abilities of whatever she changes into (as shown when she turned into a female version of the Silver Surfer) and might be TheAgeless because of it, a powerful empath who could sway demons in the Hell Realms (they ended up becoming her BadassArmy in her [[HellHasNewManagement conquest of and escape from Hell]]) and an elemental who can touch off volcanoes. The only two caveats are, 1) she's powered by magic, making her rather less powerful outside of Britain, 2) until recently, her shapeshifting was at least partially dictated by the perceptions of others, and it was implied that this extended to her emotional state - for example, her husband Brian was worried when she came on to him one time because he thought that she might not be making the choice of her own free will (as it turned out, she was), 3) equally until recently, she was something of a ManicPixieDreamGirl, making it a little difficult to get her to focus.
** ComicBook/{{Rogue}}'s mutant power is using her touch to absorb memories and abilities -- and that includes powers, be they mutant or not. This, for instance, is how she was a FlyingBrick in TheNineties: she had absorbed [[ComicBook/CarolDanvers the original Ms. Marvel]]'s powers while she was a member of the Brotherhood. Throughout the years, this has brought plenty of trauma to her, putting quite a damper on her relationship with ComicBook/{{Gambit}} (at least until Xavier helps bring her powers under control). Though her PowerCopying abilities are usually balanced out by PowerIncontinence and the psychological trauma that sometimes comes along with absorbing other people's powers, there have been times where she has had complete control over her abilities, and even briefly having the ability to ''use any power of anyone she had EVER touched. Simultaneously.'' That list of people includes nearly the entire extended roster of the X-Men and the Avengers just ''for starters.''
** Vulcan, emperor of the Shi'ar and the infamous "Third Summers Brother", plays with this. While he was born with a very powerful EnergyAbsorption ability, and technically was always an Omega-level mutant, originally he was not as crazy strong as he would later become -- rather, like other mutant Superpower Lottery winners described above such as Iceman and Jean Grey, his potential initially laid fallow. But then [[ComicBook/HouseOfM M-Day]] happened, depowering several million mutants, and the energy backlash work him up while being trapped inside a dead evil mutant island floating in space (it's a long story). The sum total was that Vulcan busted out of that evil mutant island turned space rock with his powers heightened a hundredfold -- and a ''major'' case of WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity going on. After that, it took the entire Shi'ar Imperial Guard (mainly Gladiator, a high end FlyingBrick) or a sun-dipped Havok to put him down. Even ''Black Bolt'' screaming at full volume only slowed him down. And this is all despite the fact that he's barely trained, incredibly arrogant, and moments of cunning aside, a bit thick.
** Betsy Braddock as ComicBook/{{Psylocke}} has historically been a powerful telepath, telekinetic and ninja, especially after getting upgraded by the Phoenix Force Jean from an alternate dimension. Then she gains the power of the Amulet of Right, the artifact that powers her twin brother Brian to become ComicBook/CaptainBritain, and takes the title. Keep in mind that she still retains her innate mutant powers (whereas her brother wasn't a mutant and thus had no powers beforehand), all while she has the vast powers of Captain Britain. This means she effectively has ''two'' different sources of power: her mutant abilities and her magical empowerment. For the former, she's the third most powerful telepath in the world, can create powerful forcefields, psionic weapons, read minds, control minds, and use a variety of special TK-based abilities. For the latter, she can fly at vastly superhuman speeds, benchpress over 500 tons, is practically [[NighInvulnerability Nigh-Invulnerable]] to most forms of normal damage, and can [[BarrierWarrior manipulate a nigh-indestructible forcefield]] for both offense and defense. She's ''[[SuperiorSuccessor even more]]'' overpowered than her brother!
** Ororo Munroe aka ComicBook/{{Storm}}. Her power of WeatherManipulation has made her one of the most powerful mutants in existence granting her control over water, ice, air and lightning. She has also demonstrated the ability to control natural forces that include cosmic storms, solar wind, ocean currents, and the electromagnetic field. She has demonstrated the ability to separate water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen via electrolysis, allowing her to breathe underwater. While in outer space, she is able to affect and manipulate the interstellar and intergalactic media. Storm can alter her visual perceptions so as to see the universe in terms of energy patterns, detecting the flow of kinetic, thermal and electromagnetic energy behind weather phenomena and can bend this energy to her will. She also has the RequiredSecondaryPowers that grant her immunity to the effects of her abilities. This isn't even getting into her mastery of martial arts and thievery, telepathic resistance and magical potential due to her ancestry.
* William "Billy" Kaplan (ComicBook/{{Wiccan}}) of the ComicBook/YoungAvengers takes after his mother, who happens to be the ComicBook/ScarletWitch. He has both magic ''and'' the ability to [[RealityWarper warp reality]] at will. Although he's only in his teens, his power is so immense that it's pretty much just his [[UnskilledButStrong inexperience]] and [[SquishyWizard human squishiness]] holding him back from being a PhysicalGod. Thus far, he's managed to access his full power (or close to it) exactly once. He proceeded to use said power to instantly destroy an EldritchAbomination and then step outside of his own universe to make adjustments at will, and he did it all with about as much effort as most people use to edit a text file. He's also going to form Utopian dimensions from scratch at some point in the future, so not only can he warp reality, he will one day be able to ''create it''.
* Due to bombardment by extra-dimensional energies, ComicBook/MonicaRambeau can transform herself into any form of energy within the electromagnetic spectrum. Among the many energy forms she has assumed and is able to control are cosmic rays, gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet radiation, visible light, electricity, infrared radiation, microwaves, radio waves, and neutrinos. In many of these forms she can turn invisible and intangible and in human form can project the energies she transforms into in the form beams for offense. If she encounters a new or unfamiliar form of energy, she can duplicate it if given enough time for analysis, as seen in a [[ComicBook/JLAAvengers Marvel/DC crossover]] when she duplicated [[Franchise/GreenLantern Kyle Rayner's ring energy]]. ''ComicBook/AvengersNoRoadHome'' has revealed she is also immortal.
* The ComicBook/BlueMarvel, being a SupermanSubstitute, also fits this trope. In addition to the standard FlyingBrick powers, he is a powerful and skilled energy manipulator (thanks in part to his [[GeniusBruiser PhD in Theoretical Physics]]). He can manipulate matter at a molecular level which not only allowed him to heal Monica Rambeau (mentioned above) but boost her powers as well. His physiology also allows him to age slower than normal humans.
* James "Jimmy" Marks, aka Hybrid, introduced in ''ComicBook/RomSpaceKnight''. A HalfHumanHybrid of human and Dire Wraith, he inherited his father's VoluntaryShapeshifting power, but rarely bothers to use it. He prefers to rely on his powerful affinity for BlackMagic, {{Telepathy}} and [[MindOverMatter Telekinesis]], the latter of which is implied to stem from his having inherited an X-Gene from his human mother. He has shown an ability to do virtually anything he can imagine, from controlling people like puppets to manipulating the weather to aging people into dust to driving them absolutely insane to "basic" telekinetic attacks by controlling his environment. Worse, try to fight him and you'll find he's [[NighInvulnerability Nigh-Invulnerable]], both from inherent SuperToughness and the ability to telekinetically reinforce his own molecular structure, and if you somehow destroy him, then he can literally will himself back to life, even if this means [[FromASingleCell reconstituting himself from scattered molecules]].
