Literary Critique of Animal Powers
An extremely counterintuitive superpower! Animal powers are clearly derived from their anatomy. Animal Man (DC) can spring like a tiger, swim like a sea lion and is strong as a gorilla but retains his human form in his first appearance in Strange Adventures V1 #180.
Animal Man only mimic animal powers of animals near by but there are more animals around with useful powers even in the city than one would think (Animal Man V1 #3).
Vixen (DC) can run as fast as a gazelle in human form (Vixen-Return of the Lion #3).
