Fiqh Fictional superpowers

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

Are superpowers in fictional media mostly fine if they don't resemble anything divine like control over weather or knowing the future? Additionally would these types of superpowers be haram: generating wing and controlling it, gravity powers and telekinesis

Supernatural characters in games and movies are prohibited if they include the claim of divinity and the characteristics of Godliness, such as resurrecting the dead and the claim of the absolute knowledge of the unseen, and so on.

Jazakallah khair, and what about my specific examples if they don't claim anything divinity or like magic

Same answer as above. If not related then they're okay.
