Most original powers

Which powers in comics do you consider to be very original and unique? I think Wolverine's mix of healing, adamantium skeleton and claws is very cool and unique.

Wolverine has such a great powerset for potential storylines. Batman is also a template for badassary in terms of skills. You can just throw those two into any situation and watch the fun ensue.

Longshot has such great powers and that character is criminally underused in the X-universe or in the MU generally.

Alan Scott, AFAIK he invented the construct-based power-set.

Lobo: Superman-level stats, arguably the most uber HF in comics, originally had the ability to clone, etc. It was a pretty original concept when he was first introduced (1983.)

MEL: How many characters out there can literally eat ANY type of matter/energy?

Speedball.

La Bandera.

Silver Samurai.

Dr Manhattan was fairly original considering he was an Expy of a preexisting character. A deterministic seer is still a brilliant concept 20+ years after his conception.

Really? I've never viewed Dr. M as an original character at all. Guys like Firestorm, Captain Atom, Surfer, etc. all predate him. *shrugs*

His molecular manipulation power was derivative, I'll grant you, but the way his prescience (a power that's usually seen as incredibly useful in fiction) is presented as something of a useless gift in that he is powerless to change his own destiny and is just going through the motions as a puppet who can see the strings.

He's the first deterministic seer character in comics that I can recall and perhaps one of the first in fiction in general.
