Ragged idiot in a trilby.
The Receptionist - Super-speed typing, but no other powers. She worked behind a desk, and on that desk was a brass name-plate, which read "The Receptionist". And lo, a legend was born.
The Lone Hydrangea - She could turn into plants. Inanimate plants.
Cancer Man - Chain smoking hero who fervently believed that he could inflict terrible cancer on wrongdoers who hit him. The cancers would kick in in 20-30 years. Probably. (His powers had the drawback "May not actually exist" on the character sheet...)
The Break - Could gain the powers, ability and knowledge of any TV character. When their programme was on commercial break.
These are all NPCs from my DC game from years back. They actually rescued the main party once.
