See, this is something I have a small problem with about Western comics. The major publishing houses that are DC and Marvel rely too much on the same stable of characters, in the same universe. There's variation by changing the people bearing the names of the characters (but usually this results in a return to the status quo), or by giving characters power upgrades (like the one in the video above).
In Japan, stories in comics have a start and an end. Authors can be expected to write about more than one universe, more than one setting, more than one set of characters. And more often than not you'll see characters using their powers in creative ways. Sometimes the characters don't have powers at all; they use their cognitive ability.
