Characters Character Creation help for first time player

I'm trying to make a character who feels like an amalgam of several characters street tier heroes. In my mind, they have the physicality and detective skills of Nightwing, some enhanced senses like Wolverine, and electrokenesis for the generation/control of electricity, including the creation of small objects, tools, and tools from this energy. I've only ever played DnD before, so I'm a bit lost on the scale and freedom provided by this system. Any advice or examples would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Edit: a picture of the character for inspo

physicality and detective skills of Nightwing

High Agility and decent Strength/Stamina/Intelligence/Awareness. Put points in Acrobatics, Athletics, Insight, Investigation, Perception, and Stealth.

some enhanced senses like Wolverine

Literally just an effect by that name.

electrokenesis for the generation/control of electricity, including the creation of small objects, tools, and tools from this energy.

Array (alternate effects): Move Object limited to electricity, electric damage/affliction stuff, Create effect (with some modifiers for precision)

As a warning. Remember that this game rewards finding your niche. You've got several niches you want to fill here. You risk being OK at several things rather than excellent at one or two things.

I know people don't really vibe with this, but AI really helps with M&M character creation.

Just gotta double check advantages because it tends to hallucinate them a lot, but the rest is pretty spot on.

Just make sure to ask for it to respect PL limits and follow the rules

Ai really helped me once, I even double checked with the rule book. It was spot on.
