Ok, so I'm planning to write a book. In the book, there are certain characters that attain powers, or superpower abilities. The only problem is, I've run out of good superpowers to use! xD I need some powers that are fairly original, not too overpowered, and aren't ridiculously crazy. The powers I have so far are:
Aria- Psychic (mind reading, able to cause mental pain)
Sasuke- Plant-growing
Rena- Pyrokinesis (ability to control fire)
Tammy- Shapeshifting (but only in one arm)
Harley- Technopathy (ability to control electronics, when controlling switches into a different, technological form)
Luke- Not sure what this is called, but if something of large importance is happening, he will fall unconscious and appear to witness it.
Axle- Invisibility.

I also need some fairly 'evil' powers for my evil characters!

The power to refill anything. It may sound lame at first but think about it.

Food supplies in Africa running low? Refill them.

Bank account empty? Refill it.

Life feels empty without a significant other? Refill it.

Ran out of Coke?(Other drinks are available) Refill it.

It has to be called something cool like: .. Refillkinesis

#Refillkineses2014

EDIT: Kinda jumped right in. After reading the original post I've come up with some uses for the power that would probably fit in better =P

Your evil minion's life ran out? Refill It.

Gun/Magic energy is depleted? Refill it.

Telekenisis is one of the strongest superpowers that I can think of, not sure if it's been mentioned yet, as I don't have the time to look through all of the posts to find it.

The ability of imagination. Imagine what you'd like and it pops in thin air.
That'd be way to op, maybe take it down a notch to only making little temporary monsters/ minions to help you out.

Your wording is confusing. You're giving me the general idea that Tammy can transform one of her arms into anything, like she is mostly human but her arm can turn into a cactus. Is that what you meant?

Here are some 'evil' powers.

-Necromancy (The ability to create and control the undead/contact spirits)

Not too original, but usually well received by readers.

-Pestilence Embodiment (The ability to turn into the actual embodiment of plague and disease, everybody around them becomes sicker and sicker)

-Dark Aura (All forms of light dissipate around them unnaturally, I.E. if you shined a flashlight on them they'd still be pitch black)

I hope these help.

Yeah, that's what I meant exactly
I love the sickness and dark aura ones!

Kind of a weak person would be fit for this roll. When provoked, the persons eyes turn a certain color, and somewhat superhuman strength is gifted to them. The downside of it though, is that they arent thinking about what they do, so It would be very hard for that character to control their power

I have it where when they gain a power, they wake up and their eyes are permanently a different colour, so maybe they could glow or something? I might steal this idea

The ability to control energy, create a shield with that energy, and fire beams/rays of energy sort of like Getsuga tenshou from bleach anime.

To activate their power, they put out a metal cane, hold it sideways, and its begins to charge energy.

Somebody could have to use, say, lenses (as in glasses) to activate their power, but nobody else could use the lenses and different lenses did different things? Hehe got the idea from Brandon Sanderson's Alcatraz<3
Also you could have a character who could speak to the dead (though not on purpose) and everyone thinks they're going mad, but in fact it's their power warning them of something terrible that's going to happen? ima geek for superpowers ideas and sci-fi/fantasy<3

Well, if they're an evil character, Maybe some things like Absorb Darkness and Kill your enemy with it, Black Tentacles coming out of your back that squeezes your Opponent to death, Magician Powers, (Hats, Wands, Spells, Cleverness, Etc), Ripping people apart without touching them and using your strength, Eating flesh that gives you more strength, Just think creative. And you'll get it.

A power I call Aurakinesis

Its the power to shape your aura into any object or weapon you can imagine. You can also have a number of mental "imprints" that make it easy to summon objects, which are hard to create without one. The more powerful the aura, the stronger and more complex the object you can create. If you try to make too many objects at once, your aura will get stretched out, and will either disable for a lot of time, or make you die in a glorious ball of fire.

ToTheSkyeWell you already have some that rely on elements. I say hydrokinesis because why the fuck not? There's so much you can do there.

If you're not into adding more element based powers you could have where they can phase through objects. I've had ideas where characters bent reality (although in this case it was a very OP power) and caused things in the world to shift to however they liked. The best way I can say to imagine it is like Inception, cheesy as it sounds. You could even nerf the power and say it takes a lot out of them if they use it for too long or on a grand scale. There's always something out there.

Sites like http://springhole.net/writing_roleplaying_randomators/superpowers.htm have generators for things like this in case you need to stretch your forefinger a bunch just scrolling through random ideas. I use it all the time.

sssh no swearing bro,think about the kiddies.

Maybe the power could be to altering their appearance, seeing in the dark, near-invulnerability to physical damage, imitating voices, shooting energy beams, controlling fire (obviously from the Avatar The Last Airbender), sensing emotions, etc.

EDIT: Also, if you can, can you send me a the book or something (if its on a site like WattPad, etc)? I'd love to read it!

Perhaps the ability to bend light (Or darkness...) to your will to create illusions, like a person or object.

Maybe someone who has the power to see where something or someone has been, but not where they will be. (Giving an image of the area where the subject has been, not coordinates or anything.

A highly charismatic person that can understand and speak any language? (I'm running out of ideas.)

Also, if you can't find any good villain powers, just remember The Silence...
