Hey, I'm just gonna leave these here, if anyone wants them. some ideas for a possible thing.
The Gimp – A masochist and chemist that gained the ability to generate morphine whenever she feels pain. She discovered her powers after an off-patient operation involving chemical burns.
Oddball – The product of a military project to create a bioengineered supersoldier. The experiment instead resulted in a seemingly normal human that abhors violence, and, rather than creating bolts of electricity as intended, has the ability to create shields of kinetic energy.
Exemplar – The second iteration of Project Argonaut (the experiment that created oddball). The Exemplar was at first perceived as a success, however, a violent breakout was staged while the facility staff were attempting to apprehend Oddball. The Exemplar is incredibly violent, and will act on a whim.
More(?) soon(?)
Wow, these have all the depth of character of Marvel/DC superheroes!

Not supposed to be deep, supposed to be some shit my brain dumped out.
if you want anything more than putdowns, then you should write more than two sentences for a given character, we dont read minds, nor can see the potential in your characters if you dont actually put in the effort to develop them

Thanks Dundis :)
Also, Gimp and Oddball are kind of already Marvel Characters with Speedball and Penance, who happen to be the same guy.
Ooh i got one; I call him Clusterfuck, The Human Disaster! Cursed by an evil gypsy, he has the power to distort probability in his immediate area. The problem is nothing bad ever happens to him, yet everything that can go wrong around him, does. He works in one of the largest casinos in Vegas as a cooler, basically getting paid to stand next to high rollers or to go gamble at competing casinos.
The twist is that Clusterfuck isn't exactly a hero.He doesn't wear a cape or costume and Clusterfuck, the human disaster is what he sarcastically calls himself in his head whenever he's compared to a superhero. He can't turn off or control this ability, so his adventures instead revolve around him getting caught up in shenanigans and trying to escape without causing too much of a bloodbath. So instead of him busting up a bank robbery, he would happen to be at the bank to begin with. Thieves would take hostages, and he'd be trying to escape, not because he's a coward but because his presence there will fuck up everyone's day: the thieves' tools will fail to crack the safe, a cops gun will go off, unexpectedly causing a gunfight, during which other hostages will get caught in the crossfire.
He's a miserable sod who has to live without letting anyone get too close for an extended period of time, as he tries to find a way to lift the curse.

So, an engineer.
the dick: a guy that tried every penis enlargement gimmick that he saw. His penis began to grow and at first, he thought it was pretty cool. But it kept growing and growing and eventually sprouted limbs and developed a will of it's own. no longer able to have sex, the dick decides to put his penis to work fighting crime. he (they) are a formidable opponent deriving power from the proximity of sexy ladies. his (their) weakness is baseball statistics.

Hmmm the guy who wrote Rampaging Fuckers of Everything on the Crazy Shitting Planet of the Vomit Atmosphere had a story kind of like that, actually.

Reminds me of Rincewind the Wizzard.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rincewind Like, just in case you have not been informed of Discworld or something weird like that.)
Clusterfuck seems like a great comedic antihero, I like it.
yea, i kinda pictured him as Rincewind by way of John Constantine.
Also, please see "The Cooler" starring Bill Macy.
