2d side scroller where every time you play you are a new character, different generated name, completely different set of powers to get through the game, usually one positive power and one negative effect, unless your lucky and find someone with just a positive boost. Powers include limited flight, super strength, super speed, powerful jumps, short distance teleporting, sinuous body, telepathy, telekinesis but they can be offset by having one leg and being half as fast, or no legs and walk on your arms or color blind or no peripheral vision) hides everything in whatever direction your not facing, you might have a body that reacts oddly, impervious to bullets but water is deadly,you might walk backwards or you might not even look human. Every time you play is a completely new experience as you get use to your new character and try to get through to the finish with them.

Extraordinary powers meets the ordinary real world. Play as various characters who have supernatural powers and use these incredible gifts to do mundane things, the waiter who has telepathy and uses it to carry more things per trip. The electrician who can turn off the power without going to the mains, a bellhop who uses super strength to carry your luggage, the flying window cleaner. A game where people miss their calling and instead focus on making the small things easier for themselves, I think this concept works better in a limited scope, in a sandbox setting like gta all you would do is use the power for big things, but in perhaps a 2d side scroll setting it would limit you to rooms or areas where you can only use your powers for the "intended" purpose. Intent of the game would be to hide the use of power, so the flying cleaner would still be harnessed up, and have to use their powers discreetly, in this instance the harness could get tangled as the game over.
