I wouldn't give them solid super powers, after all that would lead to predictable scenarios. No, I would go with something else that's way more dangerous and hopefully entertaining.
Rather, my superbeing would have the powers that the last person to have substantive contact believes that it does. Why? Because knowing stuff, and believing stuff, changes thing. At least on the quantum level. Why not apply that on a grander scale.
It also means that he has the powers his foes believe that he does. Not only that, but he has to carefully manage his image because if he has to stop to rescue someone who deeply believes that he's being ironic about his ability to fly then he'll have to hoof it to someone who believes that he can.
And this opponents! AH, how much fun can you have with that? A deadpan snarker would be his worst nightmare. After all, what if someone can convince his minions/groupies that the superbeing is full of shit, and not in the figurative way?
Would it get confusing? Definitely. Could it run as a webcomic or comic book? Most definitely, but not for decades and decades. At least not in that form. It's a shame that I really don't have the artistic ability to make that happen.
