Power Systems

Superpowers within a setting that usually go by a universal term by the characters who are bestowed and use them.

Depending on the media, a setting can have characters with one power or a combo platter of powers. When there are people with one power per person, then the one person they will only have that power, and if they are lucky, they can get a versatile one. The case where a combo platter of powers possibly comes into three forms. The first form is where the superpower can have different powers that can be granted. The second form is there are different powers within a setting that one person can gain rather than just one superpower. The third form is where the power gives passive abilities when a person has one. The trope can be found in most Eastern media such as anime, manga, and light novels while rarely seen in Western pieces of media.

Exclusivity in a power is usually a result of Superpower Lottery being very random at least in details, though it may also happen due to a person giving their power away to someone else. A milder case of exclusivity is powers naturally restricted to specific bloodlines, though even those may at least express differently, including occasional duds. See also Personality Powers.

Anime and Manga

 * Nen, from Hunter X Hunter, is a technique to use one's aura in different applications. To gain a proper grasp of Nen, one would need to practice the Four Major Principles, which are Ten, Zetsu, Ren, and Hatsu. The principle of Hatsu can be unique compared to the other three principles. Hatsu is the release of a person's expression of aura that follows six categories along with the users' preference. The six categories of auras are born with one of these types, which are Enhancement, Transmutation, Conjuration, Emission, Manipulation, and Specialization. One person is born into a category, but one is not their limit. A person can use more than one category by being compatible with two other categories.

 * Abnormalities or Skills, from Medaka Box, are superhuman abilities possessed by a few humans and categorized as Abnormals. The superpowers bases on the Abnormal's personality and they manifest internally while rarely project from the user's bodies. An Abnormal wouldn't have control over their Abnormality due to their overwhelming nature. This aspect of the power cause Abnormals to have an inherent ambition to control it. An Abnormal would usually only have one Abnormality, but there are exceptions.
 * Minuses are Abnormalities made more unstable because of mental negativity. Unlike regular Abnormalities, projection outside of the body is standard and relate to their mental state. Unlike Abnormalities, scientific analysis for such abilities isn't possible because of how they defy logic and physics.
 * Styles are the manipulation of language for different effects and are meant to fight on par to Abnormalities. Any person can gain Styles, which means anyone to develop, which includes Abnormal.

 * Breath Styles, from Demon Slayer Yaiba, are styles of swordsmanship taught and practiced in the Demon Slaying Corp. The Demon Slaying Corp uses them to fight Demons while wielding Nichirin Blades. They are all derived from the Breath of the Sun, which is the first Breath. The styles can make use of specific and concentrated breath patterns giving users increased physical ability and mental concentration to match a Demon's power. Drawbacks for using these styles of swordsmanship take a toll due to the limits of the human body.
 * Demon Slayer Marks are markings that can be unlocked and appear somewhere on a strong Demon Slayer's body. The precondition to gaining one involves an individual related to the Breath of the Sun being born with one. Demon Slayer Marks can give different abilities such as enhanced physical capabilities and breathing techniques compared to an average Breath Style user.
 * Blood Demon Arts are spells that Demons can use and are unique to each one. A Demon would usually gain this power by consuming humans while also attain more strength. The Blood Demon Art can grow, which means more potency and different techniques of using them.

Commandments can also turn their user into a Demon who also have their demonic abilities.
 * Graces are four unique powers made by the Supreme Deity of the Goddess Clan. Similar to Commandments, the superpowers go to the strongest fighters found in the clan. These powers give their user a unique ability while also passively augmenting their magical and physical strength. There are also how the Goddess Clan has other skills and can provide them with an arsenal of capabilities depending on the Goddess. One thing about Graces is that if a human gains one, it will destroy their body with every use of the Grace, thus killing the person.
 * Ether Gears, from Edens Zero, is the power that allows a person to channel Ether through their bodies similar to a machine. Ether flows in the user's body and rearranges into a power they can use. The users of this power each have different abilities.

So, e.g., we have seen two teleporters in the first season — but their powers worked very differently.
 * There are powers that appear to be exact duplicates, but this seems to happen very rarely: Book Ends of the first season got similar gravity negators (there were other gravity manipulators with different specifics). Dash and Goran had super speed, Hei and had the same (as far as anyone can tell) power. Curiously, in all cases, the Contractors who had those first were not alive by the time we see the second instance with Hei's case. His case is weird: while he is, of course, alive, his power was "inherited" from Bai — who may or may not count as truly "dead", but she's not among the living either. Of course, few Contractors lived on-screen very long either way.
 * The Euphoria Virus, from Speed Grapher, is a disease that can usually kill a person when contracted. One can survive if they have a Euphoric Factor and gain a superpower based on their obsession, desires, and fetishes.

Different from Second Generations' ability to control existing flames, they can produce it from their extremities such as their feet, head, hands, and even their eyes. This ability augments with specific equipment wielded by a Third Generation. Ignition Abilities also has applications to increase strength and speed while others have found other applications such as defense.
 * Adolla Burst is a power that certain Third Generation can awaken to by creating a connection with a being from Adolla. Adolla Bursts involve aspects that do not conform to the physical laws of the universe, which affects Ignition Abilities. They are considered impossible even for pyrokinesis, along with their unknown nature due to a connection to another dimension.
 * Skills, from Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, are abilities, magic, and actions to those who receive falna from fighting monsters or different activities.

Skills can be gained by leveling up or other methods involving activities like training or smithing.
 * Development Abilities are special abilities that appear after leveling up to level 2. They are different from Skills as they specialize in a specific area such as expertise or personal attributes.

A human can also gain them if they managed to kill a Heretic God and become a god slayer known as a Campione. These powers can be shared between individuals but have different ways of using them. A god can hold many Authorities while Campiones can do the same but with a limit. If a Campione kills a god with many Authorities, then it will combine into one Authority with conditions and restrictions. A Campione can, however, have multiple Authorities if they slay different gods, thus giving them different powers.
 * Osore (translated to Fear), from Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan, are unique skills and traits that each yokai posses that are related to fear. They are connected to the fear of the unknown and are displayed by yokai due to their monstrous appearance. This act is due to how yokai existed as beings that induce anxiety in humans.
