In your opinion, who has a really unique out-of-the-box powerset? My vote would be someone like Jack Hawksmoor.

Let's keep the picks non-manga/anime, as just about everyone related to those have weird powersets, and its cheating!

I'm gonna just pick unique powers, not some who have weird (sometimes dumb) powers just to be weird, like that guy from CHEW.

To me, two of the most unique are Spider-Man and Metamorpho.

I'd also go Spider-Man, but of course they've made plenty of doppelgangers of him (including one named Doppleganger) so I don't know how unique it is anymore.

And that really rings true for any popular character. So it'd have to be an unpopular character with powers so worthless, Marvel/DC won't even bother ripping them off.

So ill just stick with Spider-Man. At least then you know immediately who DC is ripping off if they mimic those powers, whereas if they go metal armor or Angel wings, it's still a bit vague. So yeah, I'd say that makes him pretty unique.

Zatanna has, at the very least, a unique way of using her powers though Magic itself is not that original.

Silver Surfer, with the Power Cosmic comes to mind.

Colossus and Firestorm are also interestingly-powered characters.

Mirror Master of The Rogues.

Zoom is probably the most original "Speedster" (if you want to classify him as such. I don't.) ever.

Freakazoid, I think. I don't know too many heroes that use Toon Force as an actual power.

Raven. Like in the sense that she can use her empathy to heal people or absorb emotions.

Black Alice or Rogue come into mind as well.

A lot of good choices have been laid down, but I will add the Darkness and the Witchblade. Both are very versatile, unique, and have about a billion things they can each do. Very unique and versatile powersets with each. We could also add just about every version of Solar to this list as well.

All good choices minus Gorgon and kinda Spawn.

I'd also add Spider-Man, Mirror Master, and the Darkness.

Maggot is a good answer, what happened to that guy haven't seen him in a comic since House Of M ( i guess that answers my question)

Spawn, definitely. I love that about him
Static Shock and Magneto too, when they get creative.

I suppose that would actually make Zatarra (The original,) the most unique of them. Since it's him who started/popularized the concept. Zach and Zatanna get their powers from him, and Constantine is a mage, but this isn't really his thing. Even if he could do it, it's original, but not for him. Same as Super-Strength was original for Superman, but subsequently not for anyone else.

Same goes for Spider-Man, his powers arent unique. He has animal based powers like many characthers plus there is lot of counterpart of Spider-Man and Venon.
