Line 57:
* ''[[Legion of Super-Heroes]]'': Ultraboy a guy with the powers of Superman but he can only use one at a time (even the passive ones like invulnerability.) He does have a Legion flight ring so he doesn't have to use his natural flight which frees him up to use one other power. He does seem to keep the [[Required Secondary Powers]] for whichever ones he's using at the time though.
* ''[[Sub-Mariner|Namor the Sub-Mariner]]'': has everything you'd expect from a being built to survive underwater: strength enough to survive ocean pressure, agility and speed to swim quickly and efficiently... and tiny wings on his ankles that allow him to fly, making him a [[Flying Brick]]. This last was eventually explained as a mutation caused by his [[Half-Human Hybrid|surface-dweller/Atlantean hybrid]] heritage. Thus he's considered one of the first mutants of the modern age in the [[Marvel Universe]].
* ''[[Martian Manhunter]]'': [[Super Strength]], [[Intangible Man|intangibility]], [[Shapeshifting]], [[Size Shifting]], [[Psychic Powers|telepathy]], [[Super Speed]], [[Eye Beams|heat ray vision]], the ability to strain gold from seawater, the ability to create ice cream cones with the power of his mind, the power to animate clothing, underwater breathing, and control over magnetism. Oh, and fire is his [[Kryptonite Factor]]. Yes, ''even though'' he has heat vision. And the explanation for all this? He's Martian. That's it. The more ridiculous powers (ie everything after heat vision) have been mostly dropped in recent years. In his [[Justice League (animation)|cartoon incarnation]], his powers are strength, flight, intangibility, shape-shifting and telepathy.
* ''[[Spider-Man]]'': Most of his powers are supposed to be those of a spider, amped up to human proportions, but with [[Spider Sense]] standing in for a spider's multiple eyes. But once having got these powers, Peter quickly invents his web-shooters,<ref>Originally, he knew instinctively how to mix chemicals to make web, which he then loaded like cartridges into a "blaster" on his arm</ref> which are thematically appropriate, but not really connected to the rest of his powers. Later versions of the character have given Spidey "organic web-shooters" to more closely tie his powers together. Over the decades, Spider-Man has developed other temporary powers or devices. A recent secondary mutation gave Peter more spider-based powers including the ability to feel trace vibrations in his weblines, enhancing his spider-sense to where he can practically see in the dark, making his hairs more sensitive, giving him poison stingers in his arms... [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?|and the power to instantly recognize what species a spider is by looking at it]]. However, most of these powers, plus his organic webbing, have been lost in the [[Time Skip]] between ''[[One More Day]]'' and ''Brand New Day''.
* ''[[Fantastic Four]]'': Susan Storm, who started out with just invisibility, then gained force field powers to allow her a more active role in the stories. A much later [[Retcon]] claimed that her invisibility was actually an instinctive use of the forcefield to distort light around her. Johnny Storm also has the [[Flying Firepower]] set, and is over on that page.
