Abduct a loved one, tie them up in a position that looks properly in despair, encase them in glass (or the clear plastic of your choice, ice free of bubbles, whatever), put them in a room with a camera, fill the room with the same substance to avoid diffraction issues, seal the door in a manner that said hero and friends are unable to open it, and then taunt the hero as per normal. Doing so will cause them to (possibly after defeating you) attempt to teleport into the room to rescue the hostage, resulting in two objects occupying the same space and instant death.

Also, claws.
I believe that video speaks for itself, but to be more creative, claws are just glorified fingernails and can thus be filed down. If they're not like Wolverine's claws and are actually a real nail, they're produced by an array of special cells which can be damaged or destroyed.

Quote:
EDIT Oh, also The Power Of Love.
Forgive me, but the Power of Love and the Power of Friendship are just aliases for the Power of Plot, unless you mean the power to either love someone or to cause two people to fall in love, in which case the power is either not a power at all or easily exploitable in a mass propaganda campaign wherein you call into doubt the validity of the bonds between everyone who may have had contact with the hero, which will send mobs after them over the possibility of having their personal emotions and free will meddled with.

See, luck-based powers are only really good when supplemented by physical skill. Otherwise you're just a particularly hard-to-hit target. Luck powers can be easily overcome by removing probability of success. This is a prime example, but really, who uses arrows anymore? With enough guns aimed at enough area, the only probability is that enough suffer equipment failure that the barrage can be avoided.

Even assuming such a thing is likely with the strength of the power, there are stronger inescapables. Really, depending on how strong the power is, this can easily delve into the Power of Plot, but if nothing else, being the victim of the previously mentioned encasement in the material of your choice is a pretty strong indicator of death.

As said in Protomen's The Hounds, "When I say he is a monster/When I set fire to his name/It doesn't matter where you hear it from/Whether truth or lies/It gets said all the same/Whatever's on the table plays." If Wily of all abysmal villains is able to turn the world on Light via simple framing, then a proper villain could easily destroy the credibility of a hero with oratory powers.

If speaking in a telekinetic sense, it could be negated with sufficient magnetism applied to a pair of stylish boots programmed to allow normal walking and running on my part based on an electric interface built into them to detect muscle movement.

It would be helpful to receive a description of powers in the future. In the meantime, a reasonable search has turned up no description and thusly I can provide no counter.

This is so easy it's trite. What villain these days doesn't have mechanical turrets, robot drones, or other similar traps?

The sweet, sweet irony of this is that you'd only be immune to your own fire. Have fun attempting to burn the gouts of flame my men and base will be showering you with. While fire fits under your category, burning it is redundant and thus is likely not truly covered.

After all, you can't burn anything that should exist, and in that category is your means of defeat.

This really is only useful if damage is incurred, and by the time it is, fatal damage provides a proper end to the power. In this vein, I accept outright death as a solution and the destruction of your head seems a good start.

Then I could just stop your digestive system or the chemical breakdowns in your body rendering you inert.

Damage to memory is not rare and can be a simple as forgetting your car keys. All I do is shift it over to the memory of me and the mind wont remember me like it doesn't remember the blasted car keys.

That isn't damage. You still have the information in your head, therefore your memory is entirely intact, just having difficulty with its filing system. Either that, or we're dealing in short term memory, in which case it is still entirely intact.

Also: Your super powers don't include the ability to warp interpretations of words to suit your needs.

Edit: But go ahead anyway, since this approach requires you to do something unique for each person (as no universal "damage" is afflicting everyone), you'll waste the rest of your life changing peoples' memories, and by the time you've accomplished anything on the large scale, they'll have all seen the information again anyway. You can't keep pace with the flow of information.

Really? I mean, it's not like you have immunity to massive heat and force, or the ability to breathe in space.

you'd defeat yourself.

Forgot to mention the ability to survive in space was a manditory secondary power. My bad.
