What should Superstar's Power be?

Sydney is a healthy and fitness influencer on social media. She also does beauty and fashion. Duh, dont they all?

Anyway, she could be the heroine with super strength. Or an Elemental Power like control of wind, air, fire, lightning, etc...

Or she could be able to manifest a magical, glowing whip that acts like Wonder Woman's lasso.

What ideas to you guys have for unique super heroine powers? Both for Superstar and others.

At the moment I am going back and forth between Superstar having super strength or control of the magic whip.

I'm open to suggestions.

If you haven't guessed, I finished the first draft of my next fantasy novel (Return to Oz with a Vengeance #4) this morning, so want to spend the rest of the week working on this series so it'll be read to start writing come January.

Imma put in a strong vote for super strength. Several reasons: 1) It's a "main character" superpower. 2) It's thematically relevant to the story: it's more impactful when she's defeated because she's supposed to be super strong. 3) It reminds us of other superheroines that serve as inspiration, like Wonder Woman or She-Hulk. Nothing personal against Justice Girl or Dynamo, but their lightning powers don't really have any bearing on the story, nor does it make it more enjoyable. I think for Sydney, it should be super strength !

I vote against super strength because it is a little overdone. Also fitness as a female I think should be coded as buns of steel and a trim tummy. Not aping Arnold. That is something else. I would think that hitting up the gym for an influencer is to be seen at the gym. Working on her butt or doing light cardio. Maybe some super light wieght stuff just to be seen doing it with her ass out for a bit. Like that's the gimmick or stereotype right? But also I think it is fundamentally feminine and possibly charismatic trait. So for powers I'd run in thr opposite direction. Make her a grey éminence mostly cloaked in Shadow with a small bag of tricks she can can pull out if her female wit and charm doesn't get her what she want. 90s Lara croft had guns and like wasn't getting into hair pulling brawls some drunk wine aunt. P.s. (watch "the critical drinker" on YouTube for his glorious take on the new Lara vs the 90s Lara we all loved).

Magic whip is pretty awesome. Different from all the heroines. Maybe the power of whip will decrease if the heroine gets touched/aroused

How about the power of light? She gets her powers from the sun like Superman. Gives her flight and durability. She can shoot beams of light from her hands. Or use light like the green lantern and create swords or armor. You can build in a weakness like darkness or shadows. Where she gets considerably weaker and can run out of powers without the sun. She could have an arch nemesis that is the opposite of her where they control darkness.

How about... 'no superpower'. She sees superheroines as a sort of modern day idol and uses that niche in her podcast. She promotes them in her podcast as a sort of want to be heroine and goes out there to do minor good deeds. Being a fitness sort she's well suited for that, but when her fame attracts the wrong sort of attention... well... (Batman manages the hero game with no powers, i means his superpower is being rich? Her super power is looking hot and having lots of simp fans)
