My favorite: Open-Window Man Power: Open Any Window

In the weirder corners of superherodom there are people like Arm Fall Off Boy, who can detach his arms and use them as clubs. But my favorite among the weirder superheroes is Dogwelder, who fights crime by welding dead dogs to criminals. From what I've heard he was created by Steve Dillon when Garth Ennis dared him to invent a superhero name dumber than "Green Lantern".

The chart seems to vacillate from most important power to signature power depending upon the hero.

eg. Captain America is under "Super Strength" when his signature ability is "Discs Throwing Mastery" of his shield while Wolverine is under his signature ability "Claws" while his most important ability is "Super Healing".

Still a glorious chart.

I agree the problem with the graph is it is a tree. Like superman surely has more than super human strength.

Edit: I take it back there does seem to be a loop on the right.
