Master Zheng was already a wise man and mundane Martial Artist Teacher when he aquired his ice powers. That Viper even captured him was pure coincidence: They were looking for a whole batch of "Guinea Pigs" when they flooded a local supermarket with Knockout gas and abducted everyone inside.
No mater how skilled, even a martial artist teacher can not overcome sleeping gas or the restraints on a experiementation table.
 
And thus he was experiemented on and developed his ice powers. Luckily the abduction was executed rather sloppily and thus he and the others were rescued by heroes. In the following months he noticed a certain "Synergy" between his martial arts expertise and his ice powers: He could channel his ice power using basic Ki/Chacra techniques and letting them flow out of his hands instead impact force. In essence he learned how to cause damage without exerting physical force on his adversaries. Having a supercooled nervous system, his reaction times also increase drastically.
 
Alas, he knew that his time to become a hero had long passed. Even with the increases he was simply to old "for the lifestyle of a hero". So instead he took to the one thing he had learned the very mundane way: Teaching.
His school now includes both conventional Martial Arts training - and asian wisdom. As well as training with superpowers - and asian wisdom.
 
He is the Ice Master, Master Zheng or the Kice-Artist for people that are looking from some training to become a hero - and of course some asian wisdom as side dish.

So not exactly a superhero, but Mary Jane Watson is associated with superheroes!

Jane Austen's Mafia! (Basically just the film as is but, you know, with some actual Jane Austen mixed in this time.)

I got a "magical Braniac" vibe from this. Also reminds me of 2 Babylon 5 Characters: The First One and the Soul Hunters.
 
 
The Alrahomi were a highly developed species on the fast track to ascend to energy beings. Unfortunately the impending death of physical bodies atracted a being calling itself "The Preserver". It was dedicated to preserving any species it felt was going to die. And it was not asking for consent before preserving them with thier entire system into a pocketdimenson. The ascension was impossible from such a pocket dimension, leaving them trapped on the precipice of thier next Evolutionary step.
 
But one of the Alrahomi managed to escape the entrapment, stood against the Preserver, defeated him and took his most important posession:
The Preserver Staff. It is the means to "Preserve" a Starsystem by moving it into it's own pocketverse. It also allows the wielder to watch the Universe and sometimes enter it (presumably to make certain they do not destroy themself from within). All these functions were readily apparent for the last Alrahomi.
But the one most important function eludes him: How to release something from the Staff or rather it's pocket dimension. It might well have never been intended in the design of the staff.
 
While "The Perserver" was defeated and is no longer avalible for questioning, he did come from a pre-existing Civilisation. A civilsiation that had outposts across the galaxy - many places that are now accessible only through the Preserver Staff itself. But especially they had an outpost on earth. And so the path of the Last Alrahumi was set: Go to earth. And find a way to free his species from thier Imprisionment, by studying the works of the Perserves Civilisation.
 
He has a number of odd titles given to him over the ages:
Last and First Alrahomi
The Blind Reader
The Eternaly Homsick Wanderer
The unwilling Preserver
Carrier of the fate of a thousand worlds
The Technomage*
Bighead*
Old Dude*
 
But among earth super he is mostly known as "Big Al" (Al is short for Alrahumi)*.
 
 
*Recent titles given to him by some serious and several less serious earth supers.
 
 
Roles:
He could be a questgiver of sorts.
Some of the knowledge he needs might only exist in a pocket dimension but those can be highly dangerous, so he might hire the Heroes to explore one of them.
He could also be a villain, driven near mad by the isolation and the burden of carrying the fate of his whole species. He did firgure out how to release a very recently preserved thing, wich he could use to blackmain the heroes into helping him (thier help for the freedom of a city or important person).
 
As a hero or covnentional villain he would be dedicated to unlocking the secrets of the staff, wich might give him spartial manipulation powers (Portals, including Portal based Deflection, dimensional barrier shields, attacking with "shards" of pocket universes).

If a group of people are captured and the hero has to say a magic word in order to transform, he will be the one who is gagged.

It's a sad day when cosplayers dressed even better than the real superheroes.
