This website has an extremely comprehensive list of powers (the site calls them anomalistic abilities) and it explains briefly the scientific aspects of the powers, as well as possible applications. It also suggests combinations of powers that make sense and limitations that would result from particular powers.

Here is their general list, but I urge you to check out the actual site. Some of these powers are overlaps of the other lists provided here, or they call the same power by a different name, ie atmokenensis= weather control. I added the examples in the Marvel universe of a character with the powers listed.
