I've been thinking this over and I get the appeal of the whole "back to basics" kind of thing but superppwers these days are not simple or organized. Everything has been changed over and over, there have been multiverses, combined verses, crossovers, amalgams and that's just in the business of comics. Add tv, film, and video games and what was once Super Strength became Muscle Manipulation or what was Fire Manipulation became Fire Physiology. Superpowers are in essence redefinable otherwise all our fav heroes would be carbon copies of the same unoriginal. That's why I think researched and well exemplified "Fanon" is a necessity because there are still those powers or characters have yet to be defined or explained.
