A girl thats still in high school gets married to a guy thats already got some sort of college degree (working for the evil corporation) they get sterilized while still on their honeymoon when they are exposed to the radiation of the spacecraft containing a female infant (female superhero) that they raise as their own daughter until they get killed (imitation of the death of Batmans parents and imitation of Superman coming to Earth as a baby story and explanation of lack of younger siblings) they get killed soon after their super powered daughters first day of college. (Instead of hero character and friends still being in high school to avoid all of those annoying elements of being too young that are always in every single fucking show involving high school kids) After parents deaths super powered girl discovers that the reason shes got superpowers is because shes an extraterrestrial (anger at her parents because they never told her) and that her earth father had a huge number of children with a whole dozen different women. (Guest characters with soap opera type element) Super powered daughter lives in dorm room with girl that is slightly taller (and a lot stronger/faster) than normal from pre puberty steroids experiments conducted by the same evil corporation (imitation of The Centre performing experiments on Jarrod in the TV show The Pretender) that killed the super powered girls earth parents. (This is the super powered girl having connection necessary to be capable of avenging parents deaths) With in 24 hours shes killed the hit man (men) that killed her parents as well as the guy(s) who paid the assassin(s) (instead of hero character going on epic revenge quest taking years or decades) but the corporation seeks revenge on her because she killed someone that was really high up but she doesnt die because her super powers make it hard for them to kill her and she begins to feel cursed to live forever (psychological element) she has to keep killing people to keep herself alive even though she doesnt like killing the underlings because they arent really as evil as the evilness of the higher ups (psychological element) superpowers interfere with ability to have a normal sex life (sexual element preventing this from being published under strictures of the Comics Code Authority or creativity suppressing censors of network TV similar to Preacher and Johnny The Homicidal Maniac comics being so far beyond what Comics Code Authority would publish) and Spawn cartoon being on HBO instead of network TV
She comes to Earth as an infant (like Superman instead of as an adult like the Silver Surfer) and she is raised as a human (instead of being obviously non-human like the Ninja Turtles) because she is a shape shifter, she is able to have a secret identity (unlike the Fantastic Four) so, even though she has her parents killed in the initial story-arc (to mimic the psychological element of Batman, but also to avoid the sappy-ness of the parent-offspring interaction dialogue that occurs in the Superman as a teen-ager TV show called Smallville) this character will still be viewed as a Superman rip-off if this character has too many superpowers that are too similar to those of Supermans. So my idea for creating her powers is that she wont have any of Supermans powers
She cant have any projectile power or pyrokinetic abilities (because these would be too similar to Supermans heat vision) or Supermans indestructibility or super speed or flying therefore shes virtually powerless against an opponent whose only power is projectile (Cyclops/Scot Summers character from the X-Men)
She cant have Supermans telescopic/microscopic vision or Supermans ability to process more images per second than a human (necessary to see where hes going when hes running/flying faster than a human could run) so instead of these shes able to see things Superman cant. This would be things like being able to see ghosts, invisible people, energy fields surrounding other super powered people (possibly vampires/werewolves), cloaked buildings, portals into other dimensions, being able to tell if someone shes looking at is a shape-shifter seeing someones thoughts (like being able to see the face of a criminal by focusing on the mind of a witness) also if she cant process more images per second than a normal person, then maybe she can only process slightly less images per second than a normal person, which would be a weakness because it would make her more susceptible to certain types of hypnosis (villain character hypnotizing her)
She cant have Supermans super hearing so instead she can hear ghosts and the thoughts of people (this could be a weakness if she is temporarily unable to turn off this power)
She is a shape shifter (an ability that Superman cant do) but she cant hold her breath quite as long as long as Superman, so instead of this power shes got the ability to shape shift her lungs into gills and breathe underwater (because she already has powers in addition to breathing underwater she cant have any kind of telekinetic power with any kind of aquatic animals because this would make her too close to omnipotent) also because she cant have Supermans super strength or super speed, she wouldnt be able to swim as fast or be as strong as Aqua man
She can walk through walls (like Kitty Pride from X-Men) and turn invisible (like the Invisible Woman
She cant mimic the Invisible Womans force fields and she doesnt have any of the other powers of the fantastic four, making her useless against an opponent with a gun because her eyes cant process more images per second than a normal person and she cant move faster than a normal person and she cant make her body solid enough to stop a bullet from going straight through, she lacks even a normal humans bullet-stopping ability and that when hit with a bullet her body (around the point of entry) expands and jiggles in a way that instantly identifies her as a shape shifter
She can steal other peoples memories like (Rogue from the X-Men) but she has to actually touch them (even though shes telepathic) and although she can pull their energy along with their memories (knocking them unconscious), she cant steal the powers of other super powered people and she doesnt have any telekinetic/magnetic field manipulation powers (because having any of these abilities in addition to her other abilities would make her too close to omnipotent)
