==Super-Gadgeteers==

Many people in the world have the ability to create technology that is far in advance of the modern world.  This technology is often extremely expensive or difficult to duplicate, although a few promising items make their way into production, often in the component field.  

Virtually everyone with this talent has some form of specialization within it-- powered armor, vehicles, energy beams.

Note that this is not generally a metahuman power-- it is a skill, albeit a very rare one.  (People with astonishing levels of talent in one field are not at all unknown in the setting.)

It is important to distinguish the Super-Gadgeteer from the skilled engineer.  An engineer is a highly skilled worker, able to develop new, realistic systems, hone technology in new directions, and so on, but the Super-Gadgeteer creates entire new technologies, although they often don't hone them, instead moving on to an entirely new field.
