We can infer the characters from those archetypes

Street level templates:

Aquatic Adventurer:A mighty denizen of the deep, the undersea environment has made the Aquatic Adventurer strong and hardy. Enemies would be foolish to underestimate the Aquatic Adventurer on land; they do far more than talk to fish.

Animal Genius:Perhaps he was an animal that was given speech, a bipedal form, and incredible intelligence... or perhaps a brilliant scientist that was mutated into some sort of animal hybrid. Whatever his origin, an Animal Genius has both brains and brawn on his side.

Archer:A normal person who is a master of archery, and equipped with an array of "trick arrows", an Archers can hold their own in scrapes with meta-humans, robots, and magical forces, and provide valuable range support and utilitarian aid for other members of a team.

Blaster:
Able to fire energy blasts with incredible power and accuracy, the Blaster avoids hand-to-hand combat. But enemies who do get too close may be in for a nasty surprise.

Brawler:A fighter who never knows when to give up, a Brawler's fighting ability is nearly super-human. This character is a lot better at taking a punch than dodging one.

Brick:Bricks face their enemies with incredible super-strength and near invulnerability. They may not know a lot of fancy moves (like how to dodge) but know how to do serious damage. Their strength can be used to get around, leaping tall buildings or digging their fingers into the sides of buildings to climb.

Chameleon:Able to be anything or anyone, a Chameleon makes the perfect infiltrator.

Living Elemental (Water):A being composed of liquid water, it is resilient even when it looks solid, and when it turns into running liquid it is nearly impervious.

Giant: One of the most classic comic archetypes, the Giant uses sheer size, augmented by training to win the day.

Mentalist:Able to communicate or fight with but a thought, a Mentalist is extremely handy at interrogations and crowd control.

Stretcher:Able to stretch, contort, and mold one's body into any shape, the Stretcher is good at a variety of things. Movement, combat, and infiltration are all strong suits.

Speedster:The fastest of the fast, the speedster can run on water.

Swing Line Skulk:Strong, lithe, and smart, the Swing Line Skulk has a few tricks up his sleeve, which he uses to swing around town, climb walls, and wrap up foes! While many other Heroes and Villains use swing lines to travel about the city skyline, the Swing Line Skulk has honed his skill in the use of this tool to produce a myriad of effects with it.

Weapon Master:The weapon is not just a tool to use- it is as a part of the Weapon Master's body. While the weapon is extremely special, the Weapon Master is also a very capable fighter without it.

Tiny:A genius who invented a way to shrink down to the size of a molecule, it would be a mistake to take such a character lightly.

Weather Controller:A true force of nature, this character commands the winds, rain, snow, and thunder.

Wild Warrior:Strong, fast, and feral, the Wild Warrior is a frenzied fighter who feels at home in the wilderness and on the battlefield.


World Class templates:

Amazon: A warrior princess, trained for battle, with magical gifts, and a furious temper.

Avenging Spirit: Immortal and insatiable, an Avenging Spirit seeks to deliver retribution to the wicked with chains.

Behemoth:n unstoppable monster of immeasurable strength, a Behemoth is like a Brick, but far more destructive

Champion of Justice/Evil:Nearly invulnerable, super-strong, and gifted with flight and the ability to blast energy at foes, the Champion is a very well rounded character, often serving as a leader on the side of justice- or evil...

Light Master:Able to harness the power of light to generate force fields, lasers, and a host of other effects, a Light Master is very versatile.

Demi-God:Whether it is simply a younger god, or simply partially divine, this child of powerful extra-dimensional beings is traveling the Earth, either out of a sense of adventure, devotion to justice, exile, or desire to conquer mankind. Just like the gods of old, a Demi-God is also supposed to be a patron of a certain thing- like weather, fire, animals, the sea, etc.

Living Elemental (of Flame):A being seemingly made of fire, it is the master of heat and flame. Gifted with great speed and offensive capability, it is also a bit of a "glass cannon" in that it is not especially resistant to damage- though the fiery damage aura will discourage people from punching.

Mass Shifting Construct:Able to alter mass from anywhere between a weightless phantom to over a hundred tons, a Mass Shifting Construct can be infiltrate enemy territory, trade shots with a blaster, and go toe-to-toe with the strongest Brick.

Master CrimeFighter/Master Criminal: An ordinary person with extraordinary talents and equipment, this character is a legend among Heroes... or Villains. Those who underestimate this character do so at their peril. The Martial Arts training and Deflect in the cape give good defense and chance to retaliate with every attack launched at this character.

Megamorph:Able to transform into any substance, a Megamorph can be very adaptable. This character may have gained these powers by a magical or scientific accident, or they may be a natural part of some alien origin.

Sorcerer:A master of the arcane arts, sorcerers have a great variety of use for their magical abilities. The Character's magic usually relies on some sort of sourceeither magic words and gestures (casting limitation) or wands, rings, crystal balls, amulets, etc (easily taken gadgets)


Power Armor:An ordinary person with an extraordinary suit, the Power Armor character is resistant to damage, powerful on the offensive, and equipped with a variety of sensory abilities.

Stellar Sentinel:A mere mortal granted an incredible Power Source, the Stellar Sentinel also joins forces with many World Class heroes when not patrolling the galaxy. This Power Source can be anything you desire- colored energy, cosmic power, gamma waves, etc. It can be an inherent power that was permanently bestowed

I think the villain should be Champion of Justice/Evil an evil superman.

(I hope I avoided bad spelling & grammar )
Setting:

Beverly Whitford,power-hungry and only heiress of the Whitford empire,lose patience .

"Remember Zarkos,if you brought me in that despicable place for nothing you'll go straight back to the freak show zoo which I dragged you out."
The former super villain 'Doctor Venom ' , flanked by two heavyweights lost his haughtiness.
Obsequious he answers:
"Your highness, you can be sure those excavations host a glorious treasure. Older than time itself...waiting for you"
I heard that song before."You get on my Nerves you piece of trash! " she slaps him across the face.
"My queen, you'd rather kiss me when you'll see what's hidden behind this wall."
She sighs.
"Do you want that I teach him some manners Miss Whitford?" asks Stearnes her bodyguard.
With a disillusioned gesture she sais
"You heard the maniac boys. Crush that wall."
The henchmen grab some sledgehammers and set to work.

Finally the wall breaks off in a cloud of dust.
Then, as the dust settle the hole reveals a huge cavern with a strange monolith half-burried in the ground.
Its surface is covered with unknown writings and symbols and it exudes an icy cold.

Whitford ,puzzled enters the cave.

"What's this Zarkos?"she asks
"Who knows? A sarcophagus from the earliest times? from outer space? "Doctor Venom answers with a giggle.
"isn't it beautifull?"he adds
"Boss, you should be carefull" sais Stearnes "The surface...It's moving, like if it was alive..."
Like an answer to that statement, the monolith emits a dull heartbeat as Doctor Venom chuckle louder.
"What on earth is that thing?" curses Whitford. "How am I supposed to curb my bankruptcy with that crap. Who would be stupid enough to trust a lunatic! Stearnes! take out the trash!"
"With pleasure miss Whitford, I longed for it "
Stearnes grab the mad scientist with both hands and lift him up.
Not at all afraid, the old villain continues his never-ending cackle.
"Renew with your toy!"
The bodyguard casts him forcefully on the monolith...which absorbs him as the madman shrieks in utter terror.
"A sacrifice shall unleash the vanquisher!"

At that moment the cave shakes and growls like a beast.
Whitford and her henchmen falter under the tremor.

A naked paragon emerges from the monolith and land slowly on the ground of the cave.
"After millenniums of captivity. I started to get bored"he declares ironically.
He calmly walks to the henchmen and tears them up like paper without flinching.
"You!"He point Miss Whitford.
"Overproud and ruthless!Those qualities pleases me deeply.You shall be my bride."
He grabs her and flies trough the ceiling.
He reaches the outside in an instant with an unconscious Miss Whitford.
"so fragile...What a pity! "

He observes the nearby city and dissapears like a blur.

Summer in 1975, a glorious day in Megalopolis.
Along the 6th Avenue some kids stops their game distracted by the presence of a strange man looking like a greek god.
Parked at the street corner,officer Morse notices the strange fellow , draped in a long cloth like a ripped flag and the unconscious woman he carries
"What Do We Got here? Put the girl down Appolo!"he asks grabbing his gun.
The strangers murmurs "Nuisance..." and kicks a nearby cadillac.
The car flies in the air and ends in a grocery store.
"Kneel" the stranger declares to the astonished cop.
All around the crowd freezes.
"Kneel before your master" the paragon yells.
"I , Feyd the vanquisher. Proclaims this world as mine! "

Jade Pagoda
"A master once said ‘The most important point is to accept yourself and stand on your two feet’”
“Sensei, sensei, come quickly” calls a young boy as he runs in his gi wildly flapping about.
“Shuzo, I am teaching” the samurai looks the boy up and down “and is that any way to dress?”
Falling to his knees “Sorry master, I apologies for the interruption but an evil half naked superdude is smashing up downtown!!!“
With a knowing look the samurai turns and says “It would appear the class is dismissed”

Walking into the temple he kneels and says a short prayer before taking the Jade Dragon Katana from its tachi kake. Bowing he disappears in a flash of green light only to reappear several moments later amongst the carnage of downtown.

The public flees desperately the area.
High in the sky some Tv choppers try to broadcast the situation.
Some police reinforcements have joined the place and attempt to negociate with the stranger.
Under his foot, officer Morse struggles in vain. Slowly Miss Whitford comes to life.
Feyd looks around, obviously amused.

“Hey stop that guy” calls one SWAT office
“What guy?”
“The guy in the pyjamas, what * does he think he’s doing”

Walking quietly and calmly through the devastation Musha ducks under the police tape and finally stops a short distance from Feyd.

Bowing slightly Musha calls out “I humbly request that you desist from current path of devastation and release the woman”.

"And why should I do that?"
Feyd says softly
"Strength is the only thing that insects understand and revere."" he adds harshly
"Who are you? Their defender?" He grins fiercely with a strange light in his eyes.

***

Meanwhile in a dinner from another district.

"You're not hungry sweetie?" asks Megan with a bright smile.
In front of her, a young boy sulks his ice cream.
"I wanna see Marauders II" Alex grumbles.
"We already talked about that...You're too young for that kind of movie.Besides..."
The child interrupts her by shaking his head and crossing his arms.
"Mom would have let me!"
Megan's smile vanishes for a instant.
she runs her fingers through the boy's hair with a sad smile.
"Oh I doubt that sweetheart...But I'm sure we can think of something to get your smile back"
Their chat is broken by some agitation around the television behind the bar.
Bemused,the customers discover the local news, describing the threat of a strange superman. Advising citizens of the surroundings to leave the area and join the organized shelters until further notice.

"Oh god, Suzie!" She speaks to a waitress.
"Can you take care of Alex for a while? One of my student is in a weelchair on his own in this area.I must ensure he's alright."
"Sure, be carefull Megan" the waitress answers with a wink.
Megan lays a soft kiss on the child's forehead.
"Don't worry, your auntie will be back soon. I promise."
She exits the dinner with resolve in her heart.

Under the paragon's heel, the cop groans weakly as Miss Whitford lets slip a little cry when she realises her situation.
Feyd roars of laughter
"I see...A wise man?.There were some sages on my planet...The same sages that banished me eons ago. So excuse me if i'm a bit impervious to your... " he winces. "Wisdom"
"Say your name...sage"he asks with disdain.
