Why am I not surprised?
In my gaming group we had a superhero (relatively speaking) based off Mystery Men. There was the Unraveller who can unravel anything with his mind, the Swedish Iron Chef who did use knifes and lemon juice, the Sock who was a spirit of psychologist trapped in a sock puppet who possed anyone who puts him on, and my character the Charger who can absorb and redirect Alternate Electrical Current.
It was a wierd campaign with foes like the Toast Riders, a motorcycle gang that used flaming bread porducts as weapons, and Ice Ice Babies who were high school cheerleaders that could telekinetically control ice cream.
