Before I start, I want to make something clear: every single power made here, or anything made by humans at all are influenced by their observations. The reason is same as why every single alien seen in Marvel/DC Comics somehow resembles a human: human creativity is limited by their observations. Fiction is only a product of human creativity, it all happens in their brain and there is no missing links.

Secondly, no fictional character can achieve human performance through having those powers. Scientifically, no matter how humane a character gets, they can't cook you food irl, they can't participate in tournaments, and they definitely can't have human rights. The opposite applies as well: No matter how much you resemble powers seen in fiction, let's say running, your running happens in the real world, and the character's happens in fiction. No matter how similar your running styles are, their power only exists in fiction, and yours only exists in real life. You do not have the same power as that character, you do not even have a power, since it is impossible for them to do what you did.

The only exception to this rule is Transfictional powers, such as AA. But I've already said why those aren't considered "superpower"s.
