Mirabile Day, "Daytripper".  
 
Oh no, must be the season of the witch,
Must be the season of the witch, yeah,
Must be the season of the witch.
When I look, when I look
 
Humming to herself, Mirabile walks into police headquarters, her multi-coloured hair blowing in a wind that isn't there.  Once upon a time, being here would have worried her, but that was before she'd been exposed to the custom-made designer drug that could unlock her hidden potential.  One cop tries to intercept her, but gets distracted by those bugs under his skin.  She leaves him scratching furiously.  She's here on the business of The Cause after all and Everywoman wouldn't be happy if she didn't make it to the meeting.  
 
Upstairs, fat old men are getting together after all to decide the fate of those people in the streets.  They're afraid they'll be thrown down, and they're right to be afraid.  So they'll call out the cops and soldiers, the guns and the tanks.  A little slaughter to "restore order".  Well not all of us want your "order".  There are two guards on the door.  One of them decides his clothes are on fire so he takes them off of course.  Another starts talking to an invisible friend.  Daytripper smiles and steps inside.  She has some fat old men to loosen up.  The cops will be back to their normal fascist selves in a few minutes.  The ones who call the shots will take rather longer to come down.  They'll still be chasing the imaginary butterflies tomorrow.  That should give The Cause plenty of time to do it's work in this city and others.

Forza:  Portugal's foremost superhero, her powers are granted to her by an alien symbiont which grants her a protective and strength-enhancing forcefield, and can fire force-blasts and propel her into the air.  When she wishes to fly, her shoulder vanes provide her with forcefield "wings" that she uses to steer.  (Also she can see in all directions thanks to her symbiont's eyes).
 
The White Widow:  After her husband was killed by a villainous corporation, Bianca Ragno, a cybernetic engineer vowed vengeance on them and began to attack their facilities and executives with robotic spiders that ranged from the tiny and poisonous to the gigantic and heavily armed.  Her powers are inventive genius and a horde of robotic minions controlled via the "legs" mounted on her costume that serve as radio antennae.  As a last resort the "eyes" on her outfit are actually grenades.  
 
Since there was no winner, anyone can post the next pic.

He calls himself "Captain Star".  But most other people call him "Sucker Punch" because of how he made his debut, walking up to a supervillain and laying out the criminal with one unexpected punch while the bad guy was still laughing at the kid.  Captain Star/Sucker Punch has the most vanilla power set imaginable, with boosted strength and durability (and a phenomenal leaping ability from his strength versus his weight), gained from a brief close encounter with aliens dumping their garbage before leaving.  But he makes up for it with attitude and his incongruous appearance.

give it to him

Monsieur Vaillant, aka Mr. Valiant--Jacques Moreau, an All-American super-patriot from an alternate reality where North America was largely settled by the French.  The Americans declared their independence from King Louis in 1776, and with British aid the revolutionary armies led by Georges Beauchamp won their freedom.  When Napoleon's armies tried to reconquer the continent in the War of 1812, the Americans fought with all their might and defeated Napoleon, leading to his downfall.  Ever since then Les Etats-Unis have stood as a beacon of freedom, giving hope to all who would resist tyranny and oppression.
 
Possessing the strength of twenty men, immunity to all but the greatest of harm, and "the courage of America's teeming millions,"  Monsieur Vaillant is the embodiment of America's esprit de combatif, and wherever innocents are threatened, whenever liberty is endangered, he is there to protect the innocent, destroy those who would bring them harm, and set wrong to right.
 
Liberté!  Egalité! Justice!  Vivé Monsieur Vaillant!

Reaver:  George Temple was nothing more than a barely out of high-school museum security guard until the new acquisition from a battlefield archaeological dig began talking to him, telling him how much power was there for the taking...  Since he stole the eerie red sword, he has crossed blades with Jack Riddle, Scarborough Fair and the Brides of Adrian Messenger but so far has managed to retain his link to the sword while working as a super-mercenary.  
 
Powers:  Bullet and beam deflection, Regeneration of other injuries (but with an accompanying compulsion to draw blood), psychic link to his sword so he always knows where it is and can use it with expert skill, limited precognition, armour piercing melee attack.  He also wears some body armour.

Well, since Fire and Ice, Thermodynamics and like themes are already cliche, why not let the colors suggest Air and Earth?
 
From a world where magic long ago melded with technology, Gre'kori Skystone has followed the family tradition of honor, service, and justice into the Air Ranger Corps. His uniform stands for freedom and reliability, as the Air Rangers true and brave scout the Four Winds to uphold the right for the sake of the many.

Energy blasts are a super power.   Marksmanship is a skill.  

My Little Pony:  The Princess Bridle.  

Lord Obsidian:  Actually an undercover superhero competing under the name Obsidian, the hero was corrupted by winning the "prize" and re-re-dubbed himself "Lord Obsidian".  He has the power to generate darkness, and to make darkness solid giving him the Green Lantern by another colour suite.  

I don't think the flex-time of the major comic book companies is an element of the genre that is worth preserving in RPGs.   Campaigns just don't last that long. 

Never trust a clown.

Time travel is a fine thing for anyone who feels like chasing their own tail.  

Magic is like the violin.  It's an easy instrument to play...badly.
