Our hero gains strength every second he's in contact with the ground (planted), until he can perform prodigious feats. Obvious weakness; if he can be suspended free of the ground, he loses strength. Also, the ability accumulates, so he starts as normal human and takes a while to accumulate.

Gates was defeated recently by iPow (Independent Protector Of the World). Gates refuses to show his scarred face and crippled body from iPow's last battle with him. iPow's damaging iGun was used against Gates to defeat him. The iGun was so powerfully debilitating, iPow decided to destroy the technology and the iGun was never used again. Gates brilliant mind continues to come up with evil plans. Though disfigured and crippled, Gates is still a threat.

Electron man is lightening fast. So fast he can't be seen when moving. He used to be good and actually helped improve the speed of information technology. But since he turned evil, he can be found embedding himself in any computer based system and reek havoc by slowing down hard drives and connected networks. His sidekick Viral boy working by his side can cripple any computer hard drive or network. They are weakened by new technologies and rapidly advancing firewalls. Both were created by the menacing Iron Gates, evil technological mastermind booted out of civilization to reside deep inside a secret location somewhere under the South Pole.

Man who discovers he has the ability to absorb the bio-mass of another living creature with his hands like a sculptor working with clay. He can do it gradually and literally wipe away someone's love handles and only cause a little heat and discomfort, or could do serious damage and kill with the power. His ability to challege the energy at the cellular level has a cost in that it creates a situation where he needs to get rid of the energy taken from the cells. Opportunity to use energy blasts or just go supernova if not controlled. The type of char he becomes is based on how the power warps or doesnt warp him. The uses it creates coule make the char many different things.

Chameleon has the ability to take over another person or creature's body for a short specified period of time. Have you ever wished you could be a "fly on the wall"? Chamelion's weakness is that when the time period is up, Chameleon needs to be within a certain proximity of his or her own body or die. Chameleon could be just a single super hero or there could be a whole group or race of them. The temporary "host" would come to no harm other than what happens to the body while being "possessed".
