Abilities and Powers

Powers and Abilities are superpowers, granted by mutations, racial abilities, serums, whatever. In general, humans (especially support humans) do not have much, if any, in the way of powers.
==Powers==
Things like Flight, Magic Use, being able to zap laser beams from your eyes, or use sonic screams that can devastate opponents? Those are powers. A good write-up will have not only what a power can do, but also what it can't-- any limitations need to be codified.
==Measurements for Abilities==
For things like Strength, Durability, Stamina, Reflexes, and the like, we have a five-level measurement system.
* Athlete - This is the level a human being can reach with moderate regular exercise.
* Peak - This is the maximum level a human being can reach without augmentation of some kind.
* Enhanced - This is a level beyond peak, but not quite superhuman. For humans, it requires some sort of augmentation.
* Superhuman - Well beyond anything a human being can ever expect to reach.
* Unlimited - Pretty much what it says. It's unmeasurable by any standards we can put on it.
It's good to notate any limitations on the power within the description.
===Examples===
* Enhanced reflexes: Natalia Romanova has beyond peak human reflexes, reaction times, focus, and accuracy. She is capable of astounding feats in hand to hand combat and hand-eye coordination, and is able to react at speeds to circumstances which are borderline superhuman. She is incredibly accurate and can focus to wildly divergent circumstances or targets, or respond to multiple opponents in a fight and keep track of them all.
* Superhuman Healing factor: Wolverine has an accelerated healing factor, allowing him to regenerate damaged or destroyed tissue. He can regenerate greatly damaged or destroyed tissue with few seconds. The full extent and speed of Wolverine's healing factor isn't known, but it can regenerate entire body parts, recover from incineration, and continually heals damage from getting older, allowing a type of extremely slowed aging. He's even been able to heal from damage which has reduced him to essentially a skeleton. His healing factor is also the primary reason he has survived the adamantium bonding process and why he continues to be able to survive the poisoning of his body that the adamantium-laced bones produce. His healing factor also makes him essentially immune to any disease, both natural and mystical (including vampirism and lycanthropy/werewolfism), as his body will produce antibodies to fight it off. His healing factor also seems to help him with being incredibly resistant to mental trauma and psionic manipulation, as his brain sees the invading psionic impulses as a disease to be fought off.
* Peak agility: Bruce Wayne is at the peak level of human conditioning for a man of his age. His extremely rigorous and intense level of training has enabled him to be an Olympic-level gymnast in addition to being a master acrobat.
