I've already got a decent site for this, but I need more if anybody knows how to help me with this. These abilities I'm talking about are like powers in a sense I guess. But not you average flight or super strength type deal I need something more in depth. If you can help then that would be great, If not then thanks anyways for the consideration. Later
Never underestimate the power of brainstorming. Sure, a ready made catalogue is easier, but I find I usually feel a greater sense of achievement and love towards my characters when I think of their powers myself.
First of all, make a list of twenty super powers (no less. Dicipline is required.) That will flush all of the generic ones out of your brain so you've got some creativity space.
Then make more lists, but never finish a list because you run out of ideas. The trick is to push past that 'oh it won't work' barrier and into the realm of 'hey why not.'
You could come up with a bunch of places and powers that would only be practical there. For example; Hospital. You could have: the ability to detect pregnancies or birth complications, to detect illness, vital signs, to see when someone is going to die... e.c.t
If you want to avoid the generic ideas you take them out of the generic context. Remember though, you have to discipline yourself to finish a list of 10/15/20, because it's when you're struggling to reach the quota that you come up with the freshest ideas.
