About 90% of Batman's rogues gallery and 65% of Spidey's has it. That's a shit ton of characters on it's own. A huge number of Herald levelers have it to some degree.

invulnerability.

nobody really has it but countless characters are said to be "invulnerable"

Being one of the best martial artists in the world is a common one.

The Healing Factor. There was a time, that this ability was nearly unique, but as time marched forward, nearly every second or third hero or villain possesses one. Don't even ask me to make a list... it's pretty long.

I agree, and it gotten to the point were now extremely durable superman types, the past decade or so all of a sudden seem to posses crazy healing factors (which in many cases perhaps they possesed beyond human healing, but nothing to there current level. Perhaps it my bias opinion, but thats how it seems, that now every super strong/durable and powerful individuals now posses a healing factor as well.

energy blasts

there...
