So in a recent episode, a letter writer wrote in asking about a world in which the powers of the heroes and villains were inverted, and that actually gave me some pretty cool ideas
Bunker, instead of being a man piloting a suit, was part of an experimental program to save the brain of a combat veteran onto a chip. That chip can now be implanted into an adaptable biological construct that can change to best fit its surroundings and is now the amazing Adaptor
Benchmarch, instead of being a corporate backed hero with a cutting edge super suit, is a crowd funded online hero fan calling back to the golden age when the heroes were just better then all these crappy Johnny come lately and uses the money to remake old gadgets and gimmicks as the hero Throwback
Absolute zero now wears a suit to limit the burning inferno inside from making his environment deadly to everyone else as Melting Point.
Legacy is the latest in a line of demi-gods stretching back into the annuals of history who has arisen time and again to save the world, but each generation sacrifices a bit of power, losing one ability the pervious one had while needing to struggle against ever worsening odds
The Matriarch finds a pair of magical boots that allows her to control all animals that burrow under the ground to do her evil bidding
Expatriate is a master swordswoman, while the Operative is a master markswoman
Proletariat can absorb people into himself, gaining their strength, abilities and memories
The green grocer can throw exploding bacon and other meat products as the boisterous butcher
Feel free to suggest others!

Fanatic would be a nihalistic solipsimist who "dose not belive in anything" and can ignore anything she dose not want to pay attention to
Setback of course would just be lucky
cult of gloom would be trying to send the entity home instead of summon
instead of fear it would be being of ecstatic joy, still dangerous, causing recklessness and distraction
the cult would not worship it, it would be like a sheep they would collect magic wool then send it back and wait for it to return collect and send it back to the feild
Wraith would be a celebrity able to make people pay attention to her

Instead of being a shapeshifter and minor reality warper, Joseph King cannot be changed in any way, to the point of being immune to all forms of physical or mental harm. Lacking any other powers of his own, he's surprisingly creative in finding ways to solve problems by throwing himself into situations that would kill a normal person, or even a Legacy.
