Sorry was just dreading remaking this because it's a lot
Name: Xavier Sloan
Alias: Detective Sloan/Heirophant
Age: 36
Personality: Exhausted, calloused, pessimistic, methodical, practical
Archetype: Mystic
Powers:
All of Xavier's powers are based on consuming food and drink. Depending on the amount and the flavors of the food and drink he consumed his powers change drastically. While he himself has a very well-put-together list of every food that causes what, here is a simplified list for the convenience of roleplay:
Mediumship: After eating any food, for the next hour or two, Xavier will see the ghost of those who have not yet passed on. This is usually limited to those who have died recently or those with unresolved business or are otherwise stuck by esoteric means. These dead will appear to him the way their body currently is, and if there is no longer a body to appear as they are merely a voice, a whisper at that. Xavier is also capable of seeing mystical beings hidden by magical means while this power is active. Xavier always keeps a candy bar on him in case he needs to activate the power.
Mind reading: After drinking dark coffee, eating dark chocolate, or other very bitter foods, Xavier gains a very limited ability to see the thoughts and memories of those within their eyesight for roughly a minute. People with mental fortifications or attempting to block his mind reading actively can easily stop him. This power allows him to see picture-perfect memories people have, see their current thoughts and also gives him the ability to see memories someone has suppressed or that have been modified.
Astral Projection: One of the harder powers for Xavier to activate, this one requires very floral flavors or musk-flavored foods. Rose is the most likely candidate for this power, and even then it can be faulty. The power lasts for up to thirty minutes, but usually only last ten or so. When astral projecting, Xavier's body goes limp and is entirely unresponsive. His mind is able to see up to 100 miles away, see through any material except led, and allows him to do so completely undetected except by magical means. When projecting, Xavier has extremely limited ability to interact with the world, only able to move small objects slightly, like a ghost might!
Weaknesses: Xavier has no training in combat, and with no powers to help him fight, he isn't much help dealing with anything below a street level threat. Even then, he's as useful as any other cop on the block. Furthermore, magical and esoteric defenses and barriers stop his astral projection and mind-reading abilities, further limiting his capabilities. Finally, seeing the dead after every meal is a blessing and a curse, as they can be very distracting!
Former Team Affiliation: N/A
Background Hero: The Elongated Man!
Appearance: WIP
Potential Storylines:
The Ghost who sees Ghost: After using his astral projection ability to spy on an enemy of the Justice League, Xavier finds his soul trapped outside of his body. With his friends in mortal danger, he must find a way to warn them while he can't interact properly.
Don't fear the Spectre: The spectre attacks a member of the Justice League, claiming they've done something profain. After a other heroes plead for them not to kill them and a small fight breaks out, Spectre agrees to let the heroes have 24 hours to prove the innocence of the Justice league member in question.
Hush-hush: Hush has killed and replaced a member of the Justice League, and only Xavier knows after the ghost of the newly killed hero tells him. Now Xavier must prove to the others that Hush is not who he claims to be.
Occult awakening: After retrieving Dr. Occult's amulet, Xavier awakens new powers from touching the amulet. These powers become so useful that Xavier attempts to steal the amulet to covet for himself.
BRIEF Bio: Since he was a child, Xavier could see the dead. People didn't believe him and his family did everything they could to keep him quiet. They tried for years to get the proper medication to help him deal with his 'hallucinations'. This all end when Xavier brings the police to the corpse of recently killed women and explains vividly how she died. This was one of a few murders he would go on to help solve as a child. Eventually, his family relented and accepted his 'gift'. Xavier, however, was haunted by the horrible things he had seen and heard. Traumatized but feeling a need to give closure and justice to those wronged, Xavier took it upon himself to become a policemen and work his way up to being a detective.
Unfortunately, the police were far less accepting of his powers, and after multiple cases went cold because of corruption and a lack of evidence, he found himself disenfranchised with the police force. Instead, Xavier became a private detective who takes justice into his own hands when needed.

Sample Post: W.I.P.
I have two other ideas if this one seems too similar to the others in terms of personality! Let me know!
