Damn. Something funky happened when I tried to edit the message a few minutes ago, and ezBoard replaced it with the text "HTML Comments are not allowed". I don't know what happened, and I lost some of the material. So bear with me while I update based on an archive of the original material and try to remember what I added at midnight last night.
I know I've forgotten something, but I don't know what. Feel free to point out anything I left out.

Fire and Ice, Pat Benatar. Flame powers along and from his right arm, ice powers from his left.
Here Comes The Sun, The Beatles. "Sunbolt" attack from his face. Good against vampires.
Lightning's Hand, Kansas. Lightning and electrical control.
Maxwell's Silver Hammer, The Beatles. Creates a "dancing" chrome hammer which he can direct from a distance.

Steam, Peter Gabriel. Superheated steam attack.
This Corrosion, Sisters of Mercy. Lets him accelerate the chemical breakdown or decay of objects in his range.
