Overall, I've made an effort to have the powers be on a lower scale, simply because I knew I wouldn't have the budget to go crazy with visual effects and CGs to do justice to some of the more insane feats you'll see in other superhero media or anime. Think more the Netflix Marvel shows and less the proper MCU movies.
That being said, of course the main cast will have more interesting powers, while throwaway characters like the guy you mentioned would have more boring ones, since they don't really matter to the story and therefore won't be any source of excitement. Not to say that boring powers can't be used in exciting ways, but still.
