Yes Porsche is correct. New characters should pick powers that doesn't overlap other character's abilities. There are some instances where it might be ok to pick up a similar power if play focuses more on their Primary ability. For example, if Malcolm (who is a telekinetic) wanted to pick up low powered Telepathy. Aurum has Incredible Telepathy but Malcolm would be more focused on Telekinesis. Kind of like Psylocke who in the beginning was a more powerful telepath (Inc) than Marvel Girl (Rem) because Marvel Girl focused more on her Telekinesis.
Also, Darkforce* should be a star power that costs double because by its nature it overlaps so many other powers, including powers like Gateway* which is itself a double costing (star) power.
