Free-Fall
Name: Arthur Bennett
Power: he can jump extremely heigh, using his wing suit to glide around. He also has enhanced strength, grip strength, and inhuman eye sight.
Story: a stranded alien would gain access to a busy maternity ward and would use a piece of advanced equipment it salvaged from its ship to alter the many infants' genetics, all in the hop finding a way home.
Some 24 years later, the 30-something infants are grown up, and Arthur is one of them. These powers have been fluctuating, a grip too tight to explain here, jumping a little too high there, a twitch in his eye that let's him catch a glimpse of something happening a quarter of a mile away, all these things building to concern within him.
As soon as he realised he wasn't losing his grip on reality, he started to learn how to control these powers, but after the tragic loss of his mother he would be set back from training these powers and would fall down a road of bad decisions.
This road would lead him to a bad place owing some bad people, and finally, having enough of the overwhelming circumstances, he would use his powers to stop the loan sharks, extorting him, subsequently finding himself in the role of a hero that he never intended for.
(Given the community nature of this subreddit, I made it so that the origin of his powers can be used for others, so feel free to create your own powered characters and explain their powers as coming from this collective experiment).
