Idea for powers for characters?

[FanofRPGs]

I am trying to write out an idea for my character fighting this special force (Akin to the Ginyu Force or the like) who each has distinct abilities. I have gaven one of them a special ability already, but I need ideas for the others.

The MC uses mostly soul, mind, and biological hax. But he has a fare-share of time, speed, and spacial hax.

The first member of my team gains power from stars like a kryptonian

The team has 4 other characters including the leader. I already have a character specialized in speed so that cannot be used. What abilities could each individually have?

Self-duplication, maybe?

Maybe you could make it to where the powers rock-paper-scissors each other.

Like Power -> Speed -> Flight -> Energy/Magic

blood manipulation?

You could base them off of something. Every good team is inspired by something. For example, the Seven Deities/Eight Guardian Generals from Asura's Wrath, the Quincies from Bleach, the villages in Naruto, etc.

Maybe by doing this, you can start to create powers from this inspiration.

But if you are seeking a more direct answer, the way I personally pick powers for my characters is through their personality and how they would react in a fight. You want these characters to be prominant, not some glorified name that can be defeated with the slap of a hand.

My most direct response would be to give this team something akin to the Existential Plane Manipulation, with each member claiming their powers from a plane of existence. I linked the page for more details on your research.

Happy developing!

What Leon gave is a very good way to go for. On the 1 and 3 paragraphs, i mean....
