I wasn't able to come up with anything, so I'm asking you. Can you come up with not convoluted and, at the same time, not overused superpowers? I don't need you to overanalyze superpowers or an in-depth explanation of how this or that should work based on physics. I want a simple explanation of how a power works and maybe an example of a person who can potentially wield it.

Not needing sleep. A villian could always wait until the hero needs rest to strike. In the worst case having to deal with a sleep deprived hero with messy hair.

Extreme trustworthiness. A hero can use it to find out villians plans or convince them that villiany is lame. Probably works as a power for a villian more though.

A lot of charisma. Why fight your enemies when you can convince other people to do it for you?

A power where a guy can come out of nowhere like batman and one-shot you, only if the person didnt notice you

Another superpower you could use is the power to have the ability to take the knees of your foes, they dont die but is forever crippled, nothing can save there knees. A guy with anger issues and a sledge hammer

The ability to speak with animals. Yes, I want you to write Ace Ventura.

The ability to turn into a girl. MC uses it to get views on SH

The ability to get haunted by giga chad. Fantasy setting to become the strongest by being trained by old forgotten hero (I guess it's like Faraway paladin)

Wind blade magic: just to act like a weeb with a katana and slash stuff with magic while barely drawing the sword

Wielding the power of God and Anime: The ability to turn plastic anime figurines into temporary shikigami-like magical servants

Perfect escape: run away from every problems in life

Drug Junkie: Gain significant buffs under influence, and constently seek out drugs to avoid drug crashes.

Rap spellcaster: put enemies on fire by dissing them. Can be countered by enemy's rap.

Sussy Buff: grant unreasonably high physical power, but it only works on underaged people

Waifusmith: The ability to turn animals, monsters, plants, objects and everything into waifus, and combine them (?)

Suncaller: the ability to blast a blinding shiny ball in the sky to annoy everyone at night

Based on a Scottish legend, Thomas the Rhymer or True Tom was cursed by the queen of fairies to never tell a lie. If you take this basic "Liar, Liar" premise and run with it though, anything he says about the future must come true. This could just be written as a talent for prophesy, or his words might even alter reality to make whatever he says come to pass.

-I'm supposed to be here, aura.
Don't do anything too out of the ordinary and people expect you to be there.

-Control light.
Use the light around you to create illusions, bend it so your practically invisible, or twist it so you can see in 360 degrees or read a book across a stadium.

-Sleep
Touch a person or animal and they fall into a deep sleep.

-Sonic manipulation
You can alter sound. Take the sound of an air horn make it go off in someones ear. Make yourself completely silent. Don't let someone talk. Whisper to a person in a rave. Sound like someone else.

Do the whole apollo curse where he cursed an oracle so that no one would believe any of her claims. I see this as a major win as all she has to do to get back at Apollo is to begin saying how great Apollo is and that he can pleasure anyone and everyone but sure enough, no one will believe her so people start thinking he's a dirtbag who can't pleasure anyone.

The power of belief. If you can convince enough people you're strong enough to punch concrete, you become that strong. However, if enough people believe that you are weak then you become weak.
People have to truly believe that you have the power for you to gain that power. If you want flight then good luck convincing enough people you can fly.
