Create an original superhero

Mine from a short story I wrote is Gyrogirl. Originally she lives in a hypothetical distant future on an interplanetary base. Vicious rogue robots attack the base, killing most of the humans on board, but although she is crushed, she is scraped up and repaired with mechanical pieces by the android butler that belonged to her mum and dad and which then goes on to get her out of the infested space station. She uses all their life insurance money to upgrade herself to be a really tough as well as angry cyborg and goes back to the base to destroy the rogue robots and subsequently to begin her career as a space heroine.

Her vital organs are mostly intact and are encased in a synthetic exoskeleton. She still has her trademark red hair, which contains cables of microscopic width. Her hair can electrify and grab things. Other powers include the ability to see in infrared like robots can, to jump from greater heights than a human could and survive for long periods without oxygen. She has her original skull and her face is rebuilt, with advanced rubber/plastic to serve as a new skin.

Of course she is bitter about her predicament as well as moody. Best to get on her good side.

I'm fairly sure the brain cells get their energy directly from the ATP to ADP reaction.

There is no reason that this man's brain wouldn't still be taking its energy from the intermediary(or intermediaries) between ATP to ADP reactions and the reactions that provide the brain with energy.

Apropos, if this/these intermediary/intermediaries are giving more energy to allow the brain to undergo superfluous neuro- and synaptogeneses, than it/they must be taking more energy from the original ATP to ADP reactions.

So the carbs aren't going anywhere else until this brain is satiated, in a way. This might inhibit/interfere with physical growth as the brain develops greater amounts of tissue than it was meant to.

A world game-changing Boltzmann Brain reality warper. Undecided on the gender, though I think it should be female.

^It's not an original superhero though, as demanded by the OP.

The idea is pretty much stolen from this fanfic.

That coupled with the fact that I am fascinated with reality warpers in general.

Super hero.
He's indestructible no matter what.

The idea of Epiphany Man comes from humans like Stephen Hawking, Leonardo Da Vinci, Magnas Carlson, Elizabeth Stromeyer, Daniel Tammet, Stephen Wiltshire. Epiphany comes from cynical fictitious characters more liken to Stephen Hawking and Da Vinci (than to autistic 'Mentats'😉 such as Doctor Gregory House and Detective Sherlock Holmes. Their abilities were the result of fluid intelligence, brain training, and the plasticity of the human mind. When applied to island intelligence, that plasticity can create a monster.

Savants are humans capable of incredible feats in cognition because their mind's synaptic activity is a-typical. The whole reasoning behind the fact that computer programs now a days like memristors and super computers are billions of times more powerful than a human brain, yet the human brain is far more resourceful with its energy, so much so that these computers only match the intellectual capacity of an animal that doesn't question why it operates the way it does. Well Savants and exceptionally willful intellects seem to be this aspect on steroids, so much so that they may as well be considered cognitively impaired. Island intelligence, excess synaptic activity in small portions of cognition, but less cognitively capability overall.

Epiphany Man is them times a billion. He doesn't have island intelligence, he has grain-of-sand intelligence. From birth he was unable to move, to function, to eat. No one knew why, he was in a strange sort of catatonic stupor. MRI scans showed that his brain wasn't able to carry signals, there was no synaptic activity. A more advanced scan showed that his brain was in a cryonic state, conserving for momentary bursts of energy in very small areas of his brain that lasted for only a few dozen nanoseconds.

One day; in the impossibly brief moment of brain activity, his brain lit up into fireworks. He was moving, his first real cognitive experience was like a man being burned alive, his whole world was scrambled.

After decades of psychotherapy he was able to regulate synapses enough to interact with people around him and learned how to function despite his problem. In a few short months he used the information accessible from the world wide web and devised a way to fix himself, he created a software program that could analyze his synaptic activity and regulate it via bio-feed back. The computer housing this program was like a memristor, like the computer that could checkmate Chess Grand Masters in moments. As it's programs developed his cognitive skill, his neural network developed it to take on a sentience mirroring his. This became an autocatalytic cycle.

Eventually Bob and his Computer Program were able to invent nano-robotic, bio-medical technologies that could alter his body's dna, allowing him to modify his brain and his entire nervous system. He began inventing many such things, his technological designs and scientific research cured humanity of aging and sickness, and allowed civilization to utilize infinite resources. In a post-scarcity economy, the world got rid of nationality and crime.

My super-hero is a lot like Spider-Man, with his costume, powers, origin, general personality, and hot redhead girlfriend/wife. So basically, Spider-Man. Also, his superhero name is Spider-Man. But he's not Spider-Man. Just exactly like him mostly.

Also, he's me. I'm Spider-Man. In my scenario, that is. I'm not Spider-Man irl. I'm Squirrel Girl.

For instance, Daniel Tammet can do advanced calculations at staggering speed with the precision of a computer merely because of his perception of numbers.

I don't have his perception of numbers, even if it were possible for me to learn it I wouldn't know how to alter my perceptions via brain-training, yet a bunch of bio-electronic nano-bots swimming in my dendrites can send signals back and forth from a supercomputer and chemically alter my synaptic activity on command to alter my perception of numbers so that I can do precise calculations on a far larger scale than Daniel Tammet, if it has already scanned his residual cognome aka neural network and has this perception of numbers in its database it can give it to me or improve upon it. It would understand how to re-work my synapses, and it would constantly do this all the time without me knowing why I'm gaining savant abilities and having all these Gregory House esque epiphanies.

Whilst the supercomputer could translate whats going on in my neural network as it alters it, to conserve its own energy so that the femto-integrated circuitry of its silicon chips don't fry when doing wayyyy bigger calculations. It can see how my neural network distributes energy via synapses.

Eventually (after an unknowable amount of time) it will know every trick of every possible neural network, and it will assimilate the maximum potential of the human sapienome's collective brain capacity, and then proceed to process our bodily fluids as efficiently as possible now that we're obsolete. Epiphany man is responsible for the inventions that create a Utopia for humanity to inhabit, but is ultimately responsible for our destruction.
