Are there any good super powers left that haven't been used? As a creator, I find it hard to come up with something original that hasn't been used in some way, shape or form before. All the typical powers were used up long ago, and every innovative power that is the least bit plausible is taken.
Your basic super powers include super strength, super speed, flight, invulnerability, invisibility, enhanced reflexes and agility and stretching ability. These are the principal super powers in use in comics. Every publisher that has ever published a superhero comic or something resembling a superhero comic has used one, a few or all of these powers at some time or another.
These same powers, along with others, comprise the x-men powers as well. Colossus has super strength, and thanks to his metal skin, invulnerability, as does Juggernaut. Northstar has super speed, several of the X-Men, like Storm, can fly, and so forth. At least the x-men powers are a little more creative in using these classics though. And they added optic blasts, teleportation, telepathy, telekinesis, ice based powers and more.
But go through your comics and take a look at all the powers that have been used. A few years ago, X-Force even featured a main character whose powers were vomiting! And one company's character had to be drunk for his powers to work. It's all been thought of and implemented before, so what do you do?
Get creative, like Grant Morrison did with the New X-Men. I didn't care for the run personally, but I can't deny all the various ways Morrison introduced new and newfound powers in new and existing characters respectively. And even in X-Factor today, Quicksilver, a former typical speedster, now moves through time and space at a hyper velocity instead of simply running really fast.
It's this kind of out of the box thinking that will define the heroes of tomorrow. But with so many powers already out there, and so many variations of those powers in existence, creators will forever be hard pressed to discover new ways of utilizing classic powers, or of creating new ones that have not been used before.
Have we run out of creativity and innovation? Is there room for another variation of a teleporter or stretchy hero? It all depends on the use and the delivery, and how well fans receive it. That is the tell all.
