You could base them off of something. Every good team is inspired by something. For example, the Seven Deities/Eight Guardian Generals from Asura's Wrath, the Quincies from Bleach, the villages in Naruto, etc.

Maybe by doing this, you can start to create powers from this inspiration.

But if you are seeking a more direct answer, the way I personally pick powers for my characters is through their personality and how they would react in a fight. You want these characters to be prominant, not some glorified name that can be defeated with the slap of a hand.

My most direct response would be to give this team something akin to the Existential Plane Manipulation, with each member claiming their powers from a plane of existence. I linked the page for more details on your research.

Happy developing!
