Aren't most superpowers an infinite glitch by themselves?

Like if they used their voodoo to crank a giant turbine instead of causing or fighting crime, the entirety of the power industry instantly becomes obsolete.

Super powers are already an infinite glitch. Theyre supernatural so are inherently glitches. Things like flight, like super man flight, generally don't take effort from the user so already break thermodynamics in small ways. But if you're breaking a law of nature at all you're already going infinite.

Imagine you have a bunch of people with this style of flight. Imagine a sort of ski lift device but unpowered. Have them fly to the top and ride it down. Because no weight is going up, only down, the ski lift doesn't need to be powered. Additionally, because it doesn't take power (food) for people to fly up, then you get free energy extracted at the bottom.

Congratulations, you have created a perpetual energy device with a single super power.

(Unstoppable force meets an immovable object. Also I'm not sure what you mean by infinite glitch so maybe this is a dumb answer 🤷‍♂️)

The last run of X-Men before the current run, they discovered 5 mutants working together enabled immortality through resurrection protocols.

"Egg produces a number of nonviable biological "eggs," equal to the number of mutants the Five have to resurrect.

The eggs are then injected with mutant DNA from Mister Sinister's genetic catalogue, and then made viable thanks to Proteus' reality-altering powers.

Elixir biologically gives the eggs life starting a new cellular replication process and husk growth

Tempus uses her time manipulation powers to quickly age the mutant husks.

Hope Summers uses her powers to enhance everyone else's abilities. Hope's powers allow the Five to operate at both their peak and in unison.

A telepath then copies over the mutant's consciousness, recorded by Cerebro, from a copy made at the time of their deaths, onto the husk.

Through this process, the Five are effectively able to make new clones of deceased mutants, restoring their bodies, their powers, and their minds as they were at the time of their deaths."

Most of them. Control over water? Infinite power. Air? Infinite power. Fire? Same. Anything at all that creates movement or new objects? Also infinite.
