Okay, proposing a theme for the group:
Let's be classic moustache-twirling card-carrying spare-the-lip-and-shoot-from-the-hip vicious dark magic-powered antagonists for once, anybody interested?
I'm in even if the proposition won't gather a lot of support.
Nope, i'm really interested, though i'd like to know a bit more precisely what are "psych" powers in order to not pick them accidentally.
Telekinesis and Telepathy?
Oh, then i will work out some variants that i like and decide among them with your input. Though i thought that you WANT us to have really strong powers allowing for much creative use, in order to give us difficult puzzle-challenges.
@SolasReveal
Yes, of course. The monster-man is quite disregarding of human lives and existences due to a wholly alien mindset, but he is still not suicidal and posesses a sort of morality, even if it is not of the usual kind. He will cooperate eagerly and might even form bonds with others since at very least they are friendly to him and are in the same sort of predicament. I'm thinking that his power would be turning into an actual scary, supermurdery, highly celeritous and nigh-invisible beast - as long as nobody focuses his sight on him for enough time to see that actually it is just a person.

Alternate variants are EXTREMELY PRECISE (meaning cellular level) mid-range telekinesis which can at most lift 10 grams or the ability to manipulate, slow down, stop or speed up any sort of harmonic motions within a certain range - from pendulums to heartbeats to sound vibrations to electromagnetic waves.
@BlackSam3091
Oh, i've thought about it.
Basically, it is an extremely hi-tech alien device which complexity borders on being magical, previously employed by an ancient gladiator champion in the coliseums of an eldritch precursor race in order to even out his chances with much more powerful opponents.
It is basically an extrelemy bulky Pip-boy-like computer fused with my guy's wrist and posessing a horribly, mind-bogglingly convoluted interface with a thousand minute buttons - luckily, it seems that the system came with an auto-translator - and two screens. In order to activate the device one must input the sort and nature of power the target uses (it supports up to three variables at the same time) onto one screen and the name of species to the level of which the target must be brought down on second, after which the device projects a field that denies the use of listed powers - this second screen is as of now locked to the "Baseline Human" setting with no obvious way to change it whilst the first is free to be edited. Obviously to get the most out of this thing one must do his homework and collect lots of intel on his opponents, but that price does not outweigh the benefits, if one manages to find the right button in time.

I am still thinking about how he came into posession of it and what sort of alien horrors might come to try and take it back. The alpha version is that he stole it from a very rich and influental (and also highly illegal) collector of oddities during his days as just another F-level villain with a dumb gimmick and now can't give it back even if he wanted to, seeing as it literally grew into him.
This
is
fucking
THE BEST.

I want in and i have two ideas for the gods already.
One is "I", the god of Self. His domain is quite conceptual and his powers stem from the fact that in a sense, every single being, thing and object is a center of the universe and everything else exists for that one single object. Nothing can truly describe him because creating his likeness with words or colors means making him non-unique, which is paradoxal and impossible for I to even conceive. Blows of his enemies are distorted and consumed by his form without harming him because I can rarely comprehend the concept of being unimportant or insignificant enough to be mastered through violence. He is, however, uncoordinated even with himself and is driven by whims and momentary sparks of desire, chasing whatever catches his eye at the moment with wanton and determination of a very lusty moving mountain and participating in the struggle for the divine throne simply for the fun of it.

Second is "Is/Not", a dual being of existence and nonexistence who is paradoxal in that it both exists and does not exist at the same time due to how the whole world consists of existing, non-existing and POTENTIALLY existing or nonexisting things - a Schroedinger's God and God of Schroedinger's Cats, if you will. His following is mighty and split in two factions - one is a congregation of artisans, craftsmen and many different people who want to create as much things as possible and bring them out of the non-existence in order to somehow help It to become ONLY existant. The other is a dour gathering of many philosophers and scientists and warriors who ponder the problem of nonexistence and of the ways to bring it into the world - if you simply destroy something that exists, the amount of existing things does not become lower - in fact, if you break a single wall, it will transform into myriads of bricks and then will STILL exist in potentia. You get the gist of the problem.

Tell me if gods and their domains should be less conceptual and more down-to-earth tho.
I'd like to try and make a classic "we've created a monster" guy who was artificially grown and attained sentience in the facility and turned out to be even worse and more psychopathic than the scientists who were making him as a living weapon could hope for. You know, like "yeah, it is inside of a locked and insulated cell which we can fill with plasma-hot fire, in a power-nullifying collar, in the middle of the most secure facility on earth, but can we REALLY protect ourselves from it?"
@BlackSam3091
What if instead of killing any heroes my guy used his power-nullifying abilities to torment them in incredibly cheesy and ironic ways due to some past superhero-related traumatic event?
I'd like to try too, if possible.
My idea is a guy with a reasonable amount of superstrength and superdurability whose main ability is nullification of any and all even remotely superhuman powers in a short range around him. Probably through the use of an alien eldritch artifact embedded into his body.
Name's "Pighead". Yes, a rehabilitated villain who spent quite a bit of time in Arkham or similar treatment center for crazy supervillains after three dozen bloody superhero murders - his unique shtick was not wearing a costume, coming really close and hitting them in the face with a meat cleaver. He really changed, has healed all of his mental deficiencies and wants to prove it.
Tell me if it's too grimdark, i am mostly familiar with the DC universe as with the place where most of villains are actually mad or posess other mental disorders instead of actually doing things out of sheer evilness or greed.
@HeySeuss
You still there? I might find a couple of guys if three is not enough.
