Are there any superheroes with the power of giving others super powers? [closed]

Question

I know of many examples of super powers that can nullify other powers or even steal them, but I can't think of any that give powers to others. Are there any superheroes whose main power is giving super powers to others?

• The granted powers must be a permanent thing, so once you've been granted a power, you just have it from that point on (unlike Rogue)
• Powers must be given to someone that is not the hero in question (unlike Rogue or Kirby)
• Granted powers are not simply an "awakening" or a sort of knowledge gain (like learning magic or "going super saiyan")
• Process is not just a transferring the power from someone/thing else (i.e. Green Lantern ring)

I'm not looking for any sort of list, just an example of this kind of power. I've been thinking through DC and Marvel heroes, but none are coming to mind.

Answer 1

While I still feel this question is too broad, a Marvel example is Leon Nunez, whose power is to give people tattoos that give them powers. This is his only superpower.

Leon can grant superhuman powers to others through drawing iconic symbols. This is usually done through tattooing images onto others. These tattoos then give whatever power Leon believes them to bestow. However, each tattoo drains a little bit of Leon's will as each tattoo and corresponding power is an extension of his will. The upper limits of Leon's powers are not defined. He was able to give multiple powers to nearly one hundred individuals, and empower a reasonable facsimile or approximation of the Phoenix Force before falling into a coma.

Answer 2

Hawk Moth, the main villain of Miraculous has this power. He uses his ‘evilized’ butterflies(akumas) to give power to people who possess strong negative emotions.

Answer 3

Felix from Super Sales on SuperHeroes has the ability to "fix" things he owns. Later he finds that he can also upgrade them, including people so long as he owns them (slavery is legal in this setting). This includes adding super powers to them.

Answer 4

Othala from Worm has this power.

To quote the wikia:

Othala had the ability to grant any one of several temporary superpowers to people she touches. However, she cannot grant any of these powers to herself, and she could only grant one power at a time.

Among the powers she is known to be able to grant are pyrokinesis, invincibility, regeneration, flight, super-speed, and augmented strength. The invincibility she granted allowed the target to stand unmoved in the face of a punch from Leviathan [which really says something]. The regeneration required conscious effort from the user to activate, and it was slower on some body parts than others.

Othala's power was limited to one person at a time. The duration it lasted after she let go depended on the power, ranging from ~30 seconds to 2 minutes, with powers that "bend reality more" tending to "burn out" faster, in terms of duration.

Teacher, from the same series, can bestow Thinker-type (enhanced intelligence, perception, or other information-gathering abilities) and Tinker-type (tech-creation) powers to others at the cost of the recipient's other faculties and free will.

Answer 5

In the TV series Heroes, Hiro's sidekick, Ando, developps a superpower of his own near the end of the third season. However, his power is useless alone, because he essentially is a battery for other's powers: "At the end of the third volume, "Villains," he acquires the ability to massively amplify the power of any posthuman he touches".

Later, in the fourth volume, "Fugitives," Ando has learned to channel this energy into concussive blasts, projecting the energy outward to knock back any targets.
