Name the last truly original superpowered character.
I can't think of a single superpowered person in the last 30 years with a superpower or a story that hasn't been done before. Name the last truly original character you can remember.
The only one that comes to my mind is Wolverine....seriously. I don't remember anyone having unbreakable bones and built in knives that cut through anything before him.
I can agree with two of those, and both are over 30 friggin' years old! And that's sad.
Venom isn't original at all...whatsoever. There was a twighlight zone eppsiode in the 60's about symbiotic clothes who take over people when they wore them and give them lots of power but make them sort of evil. They'd also get addicted to it. Sooo, no. Venom ain't original, but the other two are very much so original I believe.
Ok, in the past 15 years, who is the most original?
That's what the thread is about. It's about super human's with original superpowers.
Since Venom is only 1/3 original, he's not truly original, so yeah.

I don't think Thanos and Captain America are originals.
Thanos is just an "i am always true and i'm bad" with invulnerability and beams.
He is created in... 1973. More than 30 years. And it's an homage to Darkseid.
Captain America is too old (1940, first publication in march 1941). And it's a rip-of of a character named... Shield (by Joe Simon ?).
I go with Galactus (ar, no : 1966)...
Damn... Squirrel Girl ?
Well, it's a loosely furry/catgirl toon-like character. Maybe Squirrel Girl (Hey ! Mister Master ! I put her just after God/TOAA !).
I go with the Psychic dislexia institute : All the characters are affected by a psychic dislexia. As the Bunny : He project negative emotions, "causing anyone near you to want to kick the bejeezu out of you".
