Often, when there's a superhero team, their powers will reflect their personalities with the most blatant symbolism possible. Someone with sun or light-based powers will be optimistic and sunny, while someone with moon or night-based powers will border on moody and dark.
Mystical characters may have this as part of their Super Hero Origin; the moon spirits seek out those who are dark and moody, or having all that moon energy in your body makes you dark and moody. But this is rare; often, it just happens that the optimistic and sunny guy is the one who gets caught in the Freak Lab Accident involving concentrated solar power.
This trope is too convenient to be a notably Discredited Trope. As a result, it is almost as common for superheroes to have the exact opposite personality that one would expect, with sun guy being dark and night guy being happy — see Power Stereotype Flip for examples of this. It's much rarer to simply ignore the trope and make the powers truly random, so they don't coincide or contrast with anybody's personality.
If you count mythology, and godly portfolios as powers, this is Older Than Feudalism. Greek mythology, with its very human gods, is probably the most blatant, with the sun god Helios being inspiring and alive, while his sister, the moon goddess Selene, is aloof and solitary, and so on for most of the other gods. Of course, these are justified; the Greco-Roman gods were incarnations of that which they represented.
This trope is a bit of a Chicken-and-Egg Paradox. If a person has a set of abilities long enough, it can influence their personality. In other cases, their personality is what influences the powers they get. It's not always entirely clear which way the causal arrow goes, or if they're even causally linked at all.

His Dark Materials has daemons, which are a physical representation of the soul. Each person has only one, and a momentous event in a person's life is when their daemon "settles" into one animal form, meaning that it can no longer change shape freely and that the person in question has realised who they are. Daemons are very useful in combat (especially a child's daemon, because it can become any animal imaginable) and therefore act as a variant of this trope.

inFAMOUS:
Cole MacGrath from receives electric powers at the start of the game. As the game progresses, Cole's Karma Meter effects not only his appearance but also the color of his electricity (blue and white for Hero, red and black for Infamous) and how his powers operate. When his karma is good, his powers can defeat enemies very quickly with precision. When his karma is bad, his powers cover a wider area but are also more likely to hit civilians in the process.
Sasha is a deranged, mentally unbalanced woman with a history of being manipulated by Kessler. Her conduit powers allow her to control those infected with her black tar, manipulating them and causing vivid hallucinations.

Genshin Impact: The various characters with an Elemental Powers (called “Vision Holders�). Each element has a certain theme tied to it, which the wielders of that element embody. There are some exceptions to this rule, but in general they all have similar personalities and/or backstories. Those with Pyro visions tend to be high energy individuals (the most notable exception, Diluc, actually was when he received his vision). Those with Cryo visions have something about them that needs to be thawed out. Those with Electro visions tend to take charge and be in charge (althro with Fischl it's mostly in her mind). Those with Dendro seek learning. Those with Geo are determinators. Those with Anemo are coping with either a form of loss or an otherwise heavy burden.

GONE series by Michael Grant;
Sam Temple can emit light and warmth from his hands. He's the warm-hearted, heroic force of good. He is also afraid of the dark.
His long lost twin brother Caine Soren has telekinesis, the power to control every inanimate object and even people, moving and levitating them to his every whim...He's a controlling, power-hungry dictator who loves to manipulate situations. He also developed a power that impressed Diana.
Caine's girlfriend Diana has the power to tell if someone has powers, and how powerful they are if they do have powers, or basically "to read" someone... she's also super judgemental and sarcastic and can read everyone's flaws as well as their powers.
Brianna is a zippy, hyperactive, borderline ADHD thirteen-year-old girl who talks way too fast... and has Super-Speed.
Brittney is resilient and never gives up, even when all seems hopeless... she's immortal and cannot die.
Computer Jack develops super-strength, a power that would impress Diana.
Lana and Orc gain their powers to survive a coyote attack.
Bug gains his powers in order to hide from his Abusive Parents.

Worm: A variation: powers are gained through a Traumatic Superpower Awakening, and the new power is something that would be a solution to whatever problem caused the trauma. This means that the power gained depends a great deal on what kind of thing the new super would find horrifying enough to push them over the edge. For example, Master powers tend to be the result of long periods of social isolation, and Blaster triggers involving large numbers of threats result in powers that create large numbers of attacks. Later on, it's further explained that powers are sentient, and can choose to not to manifest if they feel the potential bearer won't be a good fit personality-wise, or can nudge the bearer's personalities in a desired direction. Rachel was a foster child who was being constantly moved to different households and never learned to interact with other people outside of fights and conflict. The first creature she considered a friend was a stray dog that she started feeding and caring for. She gained powers when her foster mother found the dog and tried to drown it with Rachel watching. Rachel's power is to turn dogs into giant car-sized monsters that were extremely strong and tough — a reflection both of Rachel's love for dogs and her use of violence to fix her problems.

Sleepless Domain: No one is exactly sure how powers are determined, but they at least have something to do with personality. Team Alchemical's Elemental Powers all corresponded to their personalities — Sylvia is somewhat flighty, Sally is a Fiery Redhead, Gwen is quiet and blunt, and Undine is polite and emotional. Rue has an internal monologue about this trope where she notes that her Throw Down the Bomblet powers make it dangerous for her to work with close-range fighters and impractical to work with long-ranged ones, so it's like her powers are saying "I can handle it, give me some space".

The Witchlands: Many witches have powers that match their witcheries. Merik is usually calm, but can lose his cool much like the wind can suddenly pick up, Iseult has weaving magic and is slow and methodical in her approach, Vaness the Metalwitch is strong-willed and unyielding, and so on.

Dragon Age:
Dragon Age: Origins: Morrigan is a shapeshifter, and acts more like a particularly cruel cat than a human. Likewise, Wynne is a healer/buffer mage and is a protective and motherly sort.
Dragon Age II: Aveline is a defensive warrior and nigh-impossible to kill, and is very protective of her friends. Merrill, however, subverts this in a very extreme fashion by being a sweet innocent Fish out of Water and being a blaster mage/demon-summoning blood mage. Anders is an interesting case; he combines compassion for mages and the war refugees he treats in his free clinic with a ruthless hatred of templars, and he's possessed by a demon of Vengeance. Symbolically of his dual nature (kind and ruthless and/or human and demon), he's a mode-shift Combat Medic; in Panacea mode, his healing abilities improve but he can't cast damage-dealing spells, whereas, in Vengeance mode, he deals more damage but takes extra damage himself and can't be healed.

X-Men:
For the first two issues, the Beast played this trope straight. He was bombastic, brutish, and blunt-brained, just as you'd expect a musclebound lunk to be. The writers quickly discovered the comic potential in a "beastly brute" who recited eloquent Shakespeare, however, and by issue three the Beast's well-known Harvard-educated persona was in place.
Nightcrawler is a deliberate aversion on two fronts, both hinging on the fact that he has looked like a blue demon since the day he was born. Chris Claremont quickly decided that Kurt shouldn't be overly angst-ridden, but instead made him an upbeat, cheery charmer and Errol Flynn idolizer, as well as having him eventually decide that he should be "out and proud" as a mutant, rather than disguise himself. And in contrast to his demonic appearance, he is a devout and practicing Catholic who eventually became a priest. Adaptations have tended to play up his angst, though.
Wolverine, an anti-social berserker who considers civilization suffocating, has claws, super-strength, a strong sense of smell, and a strong resistance and regeneration power. These powers all make him come off as a wild animal in human clothing.
Rogue zigzags this. Her main comics depiction tends toward being a cheerful, outgoing woman... with an uncontrollable death touch. Other media versions cast her as a gloomy, withdrawn goth with an uncontrollable death touch.

Destiny: The Taken provide a neat inversion of this trope; whenever a being is Taken by Oryx, they are confronted by the Darkness with every fear and insecurity they've ever had (Vandals long for something to call their own, Thralls fear their own frailty, Phalanxes fear not being seen as anything more than a shield for their betters, etc.) When the Darkness shows them these fears, however, it bestows a power on the prospective Taken that alleviates this fear and provides comfort and peace of mind (Taken Vandals gain an energy shield bubble so they can have a space to call theirs, Taken Thralls gain a Teleport Spam that lets them dodge attacks and close distance, Taken Phalanxes have their shield made into a powerful cannon-like weapon so that they can contribute to the fight, etc.) The Vex are the only ones that don't have personalities (being a machine race and such), but the Darkness gives Taken Vex an ability that makes up for a flaw in their programming or helps them achieve their programmed orders (Goblins are supposed to protect machinery, so Taken Goblins gain an energy shield projection beam that renders any of their allies invulnerable until the Goblin is killed).

RainbowDoubleDash's Lunaverse: Unicorn ponies' spells are generally tied to their special talent, which is in turn tied to their personality. This also shows up to a lesser degree with the other two tribes, as more of their magic is internal.

JoJo's Alien Adventure: Ben's Stand, Emerald Ace, reflects his own personality, but in a somewhat different manner than most Stands. Instead of the power relating to his personality, it's how he calls it: the Stand reflexively acts upon someone being in trouble, such as helping Jotaro against Avdol or removing the flesh bud from Kakyoin. This fits with Ben's Chronic Hero Syndrome and his reckless personality, and his Kiai ("HERORORORORO!") shows that when Ben fights, it's always with the intent of helping others.

My Miraculous Academia: It's established that, while it takes a certain personality type to be a proper wielder of their miraculous, the miraculous in turn affects their wielders. For example, while Izuku was meek to begin with, wielding the Butterfly Miraculous (butterflies often treated as fragile, its powers being support-based and providing empathetic abilities) makes him into a stuttering mess whenever he interacts with people.

Miraculous Ladybug:
Akumatized villains have a tendency to get powers based around their personalities — for example, the Consummate Liar Lila gets illusion-based powers as Volpina, the wannabe weather girl Aurore becomes the weather-controlling Stormy Weather, the pigeon-loving Mr. Ramier can control them as Mr. Pigeon, the kendou practitioner Kagami gets fencing-related powers, and the shy artist Nathaniel becomes the Art Attacker Evillustrator.
Ladybug's Lucky Charm becomes whatever it needs to be to fight evil, and so does she. The gap between who Ladybug is normally and who she needs to be to protect Paris is often a source of dramatic conflict. She's also a creative person wielding the power of Creation.
Chat Noir's Cataclysm power is (thankfully) unrelated to his personality, but it is an expression of his deepest repressed desire: to destroy the "cage", both metaphorical and literal, that isolates him from the outside world.
Interestingly shown in the Season 3 episode "Reflekdoll", when the duo ends up swapping Miraculouses — and main powers. In Mister Bug's hands, the Lucky Charm is perfectly straightforward and gives him exactly what he wants (a mirror) but because he hasn't figured out what they actually need to do to defeat the villain, it's useless. Conversely, Lady Noir's attempt to use Cataclysm on the sentimonster fails to destroy it because she lacks the needed destructive desire.

Heroes has a handful of examples:
Nathan, an ambitious politician can fly. Subverted in Season 1, where Nathan is the biggest stick-in-the-mud of the cast, making his ability to fly somewhat odd, especially since he keeps it hidden. Unlike most of the cast, Nathan's powers were given to him via Super Serum.
Peter, an empathetic person who dreams of being someone else absorbs other people's powers.
Niki, a woman with DID obsessed with protecting her son and who will stop at nothing to protect him has Super-Strength, initially only through one of her alters, Jessica.
And in something of an inversion, Matt the psychic is dyslexic almost to the point of being functionally illiterate; he can't read words, but he can read minds.
No longer simply a theory; flat-out stated in the volume 3 finale, although this was simply a character hypothesizing. However, once Ando the resident sidekick was given powers by the formula, his ended up being the ability to enhance other supers' abilities. Simply put, Ando's superpower is that he's a really supportive friend.
It also happens in reverse, in a way. Sylar, no pillar of mental health himself, ends up acquiring the ability to shapeshift after going through a crisis of self. This actually starts to make him more crazy as he literally cannot control who he is anymore.

inFAMOUS 2:
Lucy Kuo is an altruistic government agent who looks to cold hard logic until she finds out that the plan involves her dying. When her powers are activated, Kuo develops ice powers in the process. Her plans usually involve committing acts of altruism and general heroic acts, and when Cole follows her plans in good missions or uses ice powers he received from her from the Power Transfer Device, Cole gains good karma.
Nix is a wild and passionate Pyromaniac with a particular hatred of authority (ranging from the corrupt Militia to cops generally trying to serve the people). Fittingly enough, she is a conduit that possesses power over napalm (and fire by extension), having power over an explosive substance while being able to teleport in and out of a situation at will. Her plans usually involve manipulation and an utter disregard for the well-being of others, and when Cole follows her plans in evil missions or uses the napalm powers he received from her, he gains evil karma.
Joseph Betrand III is a corrupt, conduit-hating Christian crusader, who smites those who question his morality and values in the name of his Confederate forefathers and likes to convert people through fear and charm. His conduit powers allow him to turn himself and others into mindless monsters.

Justice League: Flash is a classic speedster personality. J'onn J'onnz is a shapeshifter and a mind reader, but doesn't quite fit either mold because, in a fit of originality, the writers made him into The Spock instead.
Being the Spock makes sense with telepathy, as it gives one the ability to understand and control one's own emotions. Also gives good reasons to control one's emotions, for fear you'll lose control of the power. (Vulcan's are telepathic, after all)
Well, if you consider the potential of having both telepathy and shapeshifting, a logically driven character is much more likely to do good with these powers than a more emotionally driven one. Especially since the same combination is associated with succubi...

My Little Pony:
My Little Pony 'n Friends:
Whizzer, the fastest flier among the ponies, is impatient, prone to rushing into things, easily excited, and easily annoyed when things don't happen fast enough for her liking.
King Charlatan, a penguin king with icy Eye Beams, is arrogant, disdainful of others, and emotionally distant and cold towards his son.
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
Rainbow Dash, the faster flier alive, plays the impulsive, brash speedster personality right to the letter.
Earth ponies are patient and strong, better at farming than any other race, something particularly exemplified by the stubborn, down-to-earth, and practical-minded Applejack. However, Pinkie Pie, another earth pony, subverts it, being energetic, emotional, and hyperactive — with good reason, as she was originally intended to be a pegasus.
The main characters are each tied to an Element of Harmony representative of their personalities. Pinkie Pie is the Element of Laughter, and is simply energetic all the time, always wanting to make everyone around her as happy as can be. Gentle Fluttershy is the Element of Kindness and is always taking care of wild animals. Twilight Sparkle is the main character and is actually a double subversion, as she is the Element of Magic, but is a very skeptical pony who says everything must have a logical explanation. However, she claims that even magic is logical, because it works how you expect it to work.
To an extent, every pony alive fits this trope, as their cutie marks (marks that appear on a pony's flank after a certain age that represent his/her special talent) can also represent what job they have. Unicorns especially, since the magic they can use is specifically linked to their special talent. Rarity is a good example; she's a fashion designer who loves working with jewels, has three diamonds for a cutie mark, and uses a spell that lets her locate buried gems with her horn.
Averted with the moon-controlling Princess Luna. She's intimidating at first due to being a Fish out of Temporal Water, but after learning An Aesop or two becomes very kind, fun-loving, and friendly. She's even nice enough to swing by Scootaloo's dream to help her out of a scary nightmare. In contrast, the sun-controlling Princess Celestia is warm, sensible, and motherly, matching the sun's warmth and life-sustaining rays.

Wearing the Cape: Justified. The psychological component of "breakthroughs" means that the powers of new-minted superhumans are seldom at odds with their personality types. Aggressive breakthroughs gain offensive powers, non-violent breakthroughs gain defensive powers, and so on. In Astra's case, she was a big fan of superhumans like Atlas for much of her life, and that combined with her being used to using physical force from being the youngest of multiple kids, all brothers, resulted in her getting powerful Flying Brick powers.

Fire Emblem: Some characters come with special skills that befit their personality.
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance:
The feisty Mia starts off with Vantage, which allows her to attack first even when it's the enemy's turn.
Shinon has a skill that can make enemies more likely to attack him. This isn't ideal for the Sniper class, which relies on keeping the enemy away from him, but considering his personality it's rather fitting.
Elemental affinities seem to work this way. Characters with Ice affinities are generally standoffish and aloof (such as Marisa and Innes) while Dark implies more of a Dark and Troubled Past than actually being affiliated with Dark magic. Micaiah, for example, is a Light magic-user with a Dark affinity.
Fire Emblem: Awakening gave characters personality classes. For instance, Kellam can reclass into a Thief and a Priest, which sounds really odd for a Knight. However, he lacks presence making him perfect for sneaking around enemies and aiding his allies. This doesn't necessarily extend out to the second-generation children because their classes are determined by their parents.
Fire Emblem Fates gives every character a Personal Skill, which cannot be removed like the other games. One example of this trope is Peri, whose "Bloodthirst" skill gives her a brief stat buff after defeating an enemy.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2021): Adam chooses to unlock Castle Grayskull to grant its power to all of his allies, each of them being empowered in unique ways to become Masters of the Universe. This is also reflected in Prince Keldor, who chose the Scepter of Havoc when first presented between it and the Sword of Power as he saw the sword as the tool of a soldier, a servant, rather than a ruler. He was cursed with the power of Havoc to reflect his cruelty and selfishness.

RWBY: In Volume 5, Ren explains Semblances to Oscar, stating that they are a bit of a puzzle on Remnant: some people theorise that the power is based on personality, some believe the reverse, and others think there's no connection at all. Ozpin adds that training can evolve Semblances, something also mentioned by Winter in Volume 3. Blake believes her clones reflect her sense of cowardice by taking the hits meant for her; when Ren unleashes his repressed emotions, his Semblance evolves from just masking to also unmasking emotions; and the normally pessimistic Qrow surprises himself by successfully channelling his memories of the optimistic, lucky Clover to force his hated bad luck Semblance to produce some much needed good luck.

Harry Potter:
The animal shape that an Animagus can take is the animal they are most like.
Patroni also seem to be influenced by the caster's personality. Sometimes indirectly, though: many Patroni, fitting with their Protector intent, take the animal representation of people they are particularly close to. Harry's patronus is a stag, like his father. There are examples of Patroni changing after a significant alteration in the caster's life, although it's not clear whether this is conscious or something that just happens. Tonks' Patronus changes into a wolf after she falls for Lupin, a werewolf, and there's no way that Snape's started out as a doe. The doe represented Lily, whom he loved enough to commit his life to constant danger as a spy.

Aberrant: Superpowers occasionally match personality, but more often come themed with the way the person Erupted — particularly if the Eruption was triggered by a dangerous situation. You may walk away from a car crash with super-toughness, and jumping out of a plane just might give you flying ability to save you... but you might get something completely different. (Such as, for instance, turning into steel so you'll survive the landing, or just becoming very light.) People who try to trigger an Eruption this way often plan out the strategy carefully to avoid "lame" powers. They also have a high mortality rate, since very few actually can become Novas in the first place.

The Dresden Files have two examples: the divinely-empowered Knights of the Cross and the more complicated wizards.
The Knights wield powerful, glowing swords that are each named after a particular virtue, and will only function as the magical, priceless artifacts they are when wielded by someone who embodies that virtue. Given that the Swords of the Cross are literally distributed by angels, you can more or less expect someone who uses one to be an incorruptible, fearsome force for good.
Wizards share at least some common spells and magical abilities such as the Sight, but all wizards eventually specialize during their training, becoming expert at one or two aspects of magic that are relevant to their personality.
Harry Dresden is a passionate, bluntly honest wizard who prefers combat to the intellectual politicking of his peers, has a temper problem, and often finds himself needing to take the fight to his enemies (or track down and rescue his allies); because of this, he specializes in conjuring fire and making spells that track people. (The latter is also useful in his day job as a private investigator.)
Molly Carpenter is an insightful teenager whose personality juxtaposes an innocent, very strong desire to do good with the trauma-induced cynicism of her later years. This translates into her becoming a "sensitive" — a magician who specializes in mind magic (illusions, invisibility, brainwashing...) but who has an empathic connection to all beings (good or evil, happy or sad) around her that she cannot turn off. Also, mind magic can be adapted to help in nearly any situation, but it counts as black magic — which is literally addictive and hurts your soul.

Power Rangers: In certain seasons, the Rangers have abilities outside of their typical enchanted fighting prowess in their spandex suits, and some examples of this are at play:
Power Rangers Wild Force: Friend to All Living Things Cole Evans can communicate with animals.
Power Rangers: Dino Thunder: Conner McKnight, an energetic soccer star, has Super-Speed, and Kira Ford, an aspiring singer who's unafraid to speak her mind, has a powerful sonic scream. Subverted by their teammate Ethan James, a Teen Genius who has Instant Armor and Super-Strength, though he grows into it through his Character Development.
Power Rangers S.P.D. has this apply to all of the Rangers: Jack Landors has the power to walk through walls, and he won't let any obstacle get in the way of him doing what is right. The Stoic Sky Tate is disciplined and distant from his teammates and shields himself as a Barrier Warrior. Bridge Carson is quirky but kind and very perceptive, and can literally see the best and worst of people through his Aura Vision. Z Delgado was deeply lonely growing up, and she can make copies of herself. Syd Drew can grab objects, absorb their properties, and use them as a Power Fist, mirroring how as the Lovable Alpha Bitch, she's used to having everything at her fingertips until her Character Development kicks in.
Power Rangers Mystic Force: The Rangers have Elemental Powers. Nick is Hot-Blooded and impulsive. Xander Bly is The Lancer, and he's more grounded than Nick. Chip Thorn is bright and passionate. Madison Rocca is reserved and serene, and her sister Vida is tempestuous and tough.

Whateley Universe:
The speedsters at the Super Hero School Whateley Academy fit this trope. Scrambler is scatterbrained and talks at an unstoppable pace. Quickie needed almost a year to figure out why everyone thought her codename was so funny. Hyper is even worse. Aries, who's a speedster and also a brick, doesn't have the problem; but he's a very dangerous supervillain.
Fireball was a fiery flame manifestor who even dyed her hair flame-red to fit her motif. When she was turned into what looked like a flame demon, she became the darker version of the trope.

Superfriends: Apache Chief got his Sizeshifter powers from a magic powder given to him by his tribe's shaman to overcome a giant bear. The shaman warned Apache Chief before using the powder that it would make whatever emotion was in his heart grow along with the rest of him, urging him to compose himself and banish his fear, or the powder would increase that fear and turn him into a coward. Giganta in this show stole the powder to gain the same power, which amplified the evil in her heart and made her a power-mad villainess.

Final Fantasy VII:
Cloud starts the game with Ice and Lightning magic and a truly ridiculous BFS, making him much more powerful and flexible than Barret, who can hold his own but doesn't even have the option to do as much. In terms of personality, Cloud is much more calm and aloof, thinking carefully about what he does, while Barret is more likely to plough forward based on his gut feelings. However, Cloud is, at heart, a much more aggressive and independent person, and all his weapons are melee ones, while Barret is a Papa Bear so his weapons are long-range and literally a part of his body.
Aerith is a gardener, doesn't have much physical strength or agility compared to other characters, and her special abilities revolve around healing and powering up, but her actual specialism in combat is, for the most part, flattening everything with black magic, indicating her gentle, but streetwise and teasing personality. This is especially prominent in Final Fantasy VII Remake where her combat abilities, and her eagerness to fight people and monsters, are both made into a focus.

Pokémon Sword and Shield continues the trend with its Gym Leaders. Milo, who grew up on a farm, uses Grass-type Pokemon while pink-loving senior Opal uses Fairy-types, martial artist Bea uses Fighting types, and gloomy Alistair uses Ghost-types, to name some examples. Team Yell, in addition, favors Dark-type Pokemon, as does their idol Marnie and their leader, Marnie's brother, and Dark-type Gym Leader Piers, whose impoverished gym lacks a Power Spot and thus leaves him unable to Dynamax, although he refuses to use it in any scenario as a point of pride.

Golden Sun:
This trope is strongest around Fire Adepts, who are inevitably either Hot-Blooded or Fiery Redheads, if not both. Being the one exception is probably part of the reason Saturos is so popular with the fandom.
Earth Adepts seem prone to Chronic Silent Hero Syndrome, leadership roles, and puzzle-solving.
Water Adepts are calm, generally keep to themselves or are outright secretive, and are intellectual, usually trained as medics. They're also frequently the resident Deadpan Snarker, especially when it seems counterintuitive for them to be.
Wind Adepts tend to be mysterious and often have traditional Psychic Powers (mind-reading, clairvoyance, and precognition) in addition to wind and lightning powers. Karis averts both the ESP and the mystery, and this might not be a coincidence.

Freakazoid literally changes personality while the powers are active. Supposedly he's insane because he has all the information of the internet inside his head, and his powers are based on high energy, jumping around in bolts, moving through cyberspace and electrical lines, and being a cartoon.

Homestuck:
Sburb players are given a title based on an aspect of themselves, or, in some cases, an aspect they are destined to have. (Kanaya theorizes that the game gives players their titles to challenge them.) To start off with, the title is more about the player's duties and role within the game, but when they ascend to God Tiers they become a lot more literal.
Vriska's Psychic Powers allow her to Mind Control people and other creatures. Fitting this powerset, she's manipulative, controlling, and very self-centered. However, it's noted that her reliance on brute-forcing compliance with her powers means that she's actually really bad at manipulating people the old-fashioned way since she never does it — something that stands in sharp contrast to her rival and former friend Terezi, who is very good at reading and predicting people.

I Woke Up As a Dungeon, Now What?: Downplayed with evocation magic. All evocations are aligned with one of seven personality traits (kindness, calmness, knowledge, justice, passion, determination, and bravery), and it's easiest to cast evocations aligned with your dominant personality traits. So, for example, because lightning is aligned with justice, it's easier to use lightning evocations if you have a strong sense of fairness and desire for justice.

Resident Evil: Inverted. It's implied that the mutations inflicted upon those who transform into creatures other than zombies are actually linked in some way to the viral host's personality. This is theorized In-Universe in one of Wesker's personal logs in Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, and most strongly suggested as being true with Alexia Ashford's mutation in Resident Evil – Code: Veronica.

Metal Gear:
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater: The Cobras take the trope a step further, actually naming themselves after the emotion on which they base their particular ability. This includes the Sorrow, a spirit medium who converses with dead soldiers, the Fury, who torches everything in sight with his flamethrower, and the Pain, who's... covered in bees.
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots: The Beauty & the Beast Corps are not associated with this trope, since their personalities and first part of their codenames (borrowed from the above Cobras of MGS3) have nothing to do with their abilities and second part of their codenames (borrowed from the members of FOXHOUND from MGS).

Persona 4: Played with. The one with Agi skills isn't Chie, but rather Yukiko. Instead, Chie, and later Teddie have Bufu skills. On the other hand, they, and their Shadows, outright state they are quite close. Thus it makes sense that they would have the element that fits each other. Plus, Yukiko's Shadow mentions that she hates her name since snow is weak. This also plays to the central theme of the game, which is largely about accepting what's Beneath the Mask. Both Chie and Yukiko feel the opposite of how they act, and their real personalities fit the elemental stereotypes much better. To elaborate, Chie is insecure for being a Tomboy and relies on acting as Yukiko's protector for any sense of self-worth. Yukiko is the next-in-line owner of the Amagi Inn, and since childhood has been raised to be a fitting inn manager. She feels chained down by this and wants a sense of freedom and control over her life.

Persona 5 goes in the opposite direction as the previous game, with its theme largely being using one's power to reject systemic corruption, the protagonists' Personas awakening in response to injustices they suffer. Like Persona 4, though, it also shakes up how powers are distributed: class clown Ryuji gets Zio skills while Genki Girl Ann gets Agi skills. Calm and collected Yusuke gets Bufu skills, Hot-Blooded Makoto gets Frei skills, showy yet prim Haru gets Psy skills, and Otaku Futaba is a noncombatant whose Persona grants her analytical abilities while letting her grant buffs.

Misfits: Whilst never stated outright, it's made clear that the storm has taken people's strongest trait or desire and turned it into a superpower. In the main cast: the introverted and frequently ignored Simon can turn invisible; Curtis' regret over his past actions allows him to turn back time; Kelly's concern with what other people think of her gives allows her to read people's minds; the flirty and oversexed Alisha can drive people to uncontrollable lust by touching them; and Nathan, whose smart-ass attitude lets him shake off whatever happens to him, is apparently indestructible.

Undertale: Toriel plays with this. She wields fire magic but isn't brash or impulsive — rather, her personality reflects the warming, nurturing side of fire.
The final boss, Asgore, contrasts her by playing to fire's brutal and destructive side. However, as hinted at if you spare the various monsters, he's actually very similar to Toriel, in that his fire magic reflects his warm personality, his nurturing streak, and his devotion to the salvation of his people. Which is no surprise, seeing as how he's Toriel's estranged husband; it makes sense their symbolism would be similar.
The final boss of the No Mercy route is highly notable: Sans is Brilliant, but Lazy and is referred to in Flavor Text as the weakest character in the entire game, with a measly one point in all of his stats, including HP. So how can he stand a chance against you? By breaking the rules of the game's battle system. He will attack your cursor as you make your choices, and even though he can only deal 1 HP of damage at a time, you will not be granted Mercy Invincibility, so he can shave your HP off in massive chunks. His final attack is simply disallowing you from taking your turn by making it his turn forever in the hopes that you'll give up and quit.

Bird: Played with. There is an element in Burnscar and Labyrinth's powers — the pyrokinetic that is compelled to burn and the girl that literally gets lost in imaginary worlds. Others are less clear — like Charnel and Auspice. Justified in the former case (she's a girl profoundly transformed by a villainous wetware tinker), and the latter case is an abstract Thinker power (though considering the owner's Book Worm tenancies...)

Exalted:
The Dragon-Blooded Exalted are thematically linked to the Elements, which are a combination of the classical Greek and Chinese ones — Air, Water, Fire, Wood, and Earth. While they are not locked to the powers iconic to each Elemental Caste (apart from anima powers unique to each Caste's type), those powers do come more naturally to them and are cheaper to use mechanically. The game also plays with the trope, encouraging you to explore other aspects of the elements; a Chosen of Fire isn't necessarily an impulsive hot-head but a passionate, yet self-restrained swordsman-socialite. Many Dragon-Blooded are aware of the flaws and traits their Aspects brings out in them, and specifically work to overcome or restrain them. It should be noted that Dragon-Blooded charms are centered around cooperation and working with other Terrestrial Exalts, as the elements themselves do. Celestial Exalts, who are chosen by the sun, moon, and stars, have charmsets focused on independence and personal deeds.
The other Exalt variants also fit this to a degree. The Solars (and the Abyssal and Infernal variants) are chosen and empowered as to how they deal with problems; the Dawn castes fight, the Zenith inspire, the Twilights think, the Night castes are sneaky, and the Eclipse negotiate. The Sidereals are chosen by fate itself, and their Caste chosen according to their personal view of life — whether it is a journey, peace, a war, a mystery, or an ending.
Lunars are chosen for adaptability and the will to survive and gifted with shapeshifting abilities. This is often compared to the way that their patron, the moon goddess, changes forms as she moves across the sky. The third edition modifies Luna's preferences so they look for greatness, or the potential for it, with a particular fondness for outcasts, iconoclasts, dissidents, and resilient survivors.

All The Skills - A Deckbuilding LitRPG:
A common belief is that cards in the Heart Deck (and especially the very first one) will affect a person's personality. Arthur worries about accepting the Thief class he obtains from his skills because he worries this will make him more likely to steal.
Likewise, personally building a card out of shards will manifest a card related to the person who made it—though not necessarily what they actually want. Because of this, it's traditional for people to build their first card for their Heart Deck themselves.

Perfection Is Overrated: The SUEs often have powers that reflect the effect various Mary Sue archetypes have on canon.
Mariko Suou is a Classic Mary Sue and has the power to make people consider her the most important person in her lives, much like how Sues are immediately loved by everyone in their stories. Her Child, Baldur, can revive her if she's mourned while dying (patterened after a Disney Death cliche common to Suefics), but this never comes up because she dies while alone (Turns out, being the most important person in everyone's lives is a bit of a sucky blessing when the local superheroines fight with their most important person's lives on the line).
Hitomi the Jerk Sue has a Child that can torture people and is capable of mind-control, reflecting how Sues force other characters to act unnaturally in their story.
Shizune Otonashi is a fundamentalist Christian who seeks to impose her beliefs on everyone else, and she has Power Nullifier abilities that reflect both her personal desire to subjugate others and how the presence of Sues commonly renders other characters incompetent to make Sues look better in comparison.
Bachiko can rewrite personalities, much like how Sue writers make others Out of Character to enable the story.
Meiko can rewrite memories, reflecting how Sues insert themselves into canon events (i.e. being a sibling or childhood friend of a canon character).
Makoto is a shapeshifter, thus making her the perfect copycat.
The Usurper, who seeks to impose his will on the world, has the ability to possess and control someone.

W.I.T.C.H.: The original comic plays this trope much straighter than the cartoon adaptation does. Cloud Cuckoolander Hay Lin controls air, grounded, skeptical Deadpan Snarker Cornelia controls earth, while Taranee is an ironic reversal of the usual Playing with Fire type, being very shy and gentle and thus reliable enough to be entrusted with the most easily destructive element (you should still Beware the Nice Ones, though). Irma, who controls water is kindhearted and laid-back, but also impulsive. Will, who controls energy and electricity, is emotional and volatile, but also determined. All generations of Guardians have similar personalities linked to their power. This was a source of anguish for Will, as her predecessor became a villain.

The Last Days of FOXHOUND averts the trope of a crafty and manipulative telepath. Without his powers, Psycho Mantis is terrible at persuasion, apparently having gotten so used to never needing to try that he no longer knows how to. This isn't helped by his tendency to go straight to telepathy the instant non-psychic persuasion doesn't work.

Bart Allen (aka Impulse) plays this trope straight. Due to being raised in a virtual world, he was left with no attention span or concept of danger — leading him to rush at everything with little forethought (hence the codename). These aspects were taken away when the character was ReTooled into Kid Flash; however, his speedy personality returned when he came Back from the Dead in Legion of 3 Worlds.

Marvel Universe:
Fantastic Four: In the early days of the comic book, the fire-throwing Human Torch was a hot-tempered grease monkey, the Invisible Girl was shy and meek, the brilliant scientist Mr. Fantastic had powers based on being flexible and adaptable, and the musclebound, monstrous Thing, while not stupid, maintained a "Brooklyn bruiser" persona and had trouble expressing his feelings. Although this is less evident in more recent comics, it's still sometimes referred to.
What If?: In #6, the FF get different powers that still reflect their personalities. Sue gets the Mr. Fantastic powers, with her meekness being described as a "pliable" personality. The other three powers are completely different (Reed is a living brain, Johnny's interest in mechanics makes him a robot, and Ben's love of flight causes him to grow wings).
A later What If issue (v2 #11) explored what might have happened had all four gained the same power, and suggested that, while the Invisible Girl/Woman would always be happiest with her power, Johnny might actually be happier as Mr. Fantastic (which he used to become a popular entertainer, more akin to the "sillier" Plastic Man and Elongated Man), while Ben would have been the most comfortable as the Human Torch (which helped in his job as a test pilot, allowed him to become a stuntman, and ultimately led him to become a popular solo superhero).
More recent interpretations have emphasized the Invisible Woman's forcefield power as related to her Team Mom or Mama Bear traits. Likewise Mr. Fantastic's malleable body is shown as an extension of his expansive and malleable mind.
Ultimate Fantastic Four: This is a case of powers causing personality for Reed as he's revealed to be stretching his brain to make himself smarter. This perhaps helps explain why building a teleporter took him so long while his Time Machine was built in a relatively trivial fashion off-screen.
A number of adaptations depict what powers the team obtained as being based on what was happening to them at the moment the Cosmic Rays hit their ship: Johnny was caught on fire, Susan was trying to lift debris that was trapping her (which explains her making forcefields; some adaptations have her being hit by a shockwave instead); Reed is stretching himself out (either to get ahold of the controls or trying to reach Susan) while being pinned down by debris as well; and Ben is usually slammed with meteors or has the highest amount of exposure to the rays (which explains his transformation being the most drastic among the four), whislt exerting his strength to help save his crew.
Great Lakes Avengers: Subverted and supported simultaneously by Flatman of the GLA/GLX/Lightning Rods/whatever they're calling themselves now. On the one hand, his primary power is exactly that of Reed Richards (who he looks almost exactly like, strangely enough), flexing and bending all over the place while having the personality of wet cardboard. But then again, he's got stretching and bending powers — except that he is utterly and completely flat, matching his droning lectures and utter lack of interestingness.
The Incredible Hulk:
As far as the Hulk himself, his powers are actually based on his personality. As the Hulk himself notes, "the angrier Hulk gets, the stronger Hulk gets", as his strength, speed, and Healing Factor all increase with his emotions. Partially justified by the suggestion that the Hulk's powers are in fact tied to his body's adrenaline production — the more stress chemicals his body produces, the stronger his powers become.
Gamma mutants like the Hulk have transformations directly linked to their mental state. In the case of the Hulk, his transformation is linked to Banner's repressed anger issues combined with multiple personality disorder. His cousin, Jen Walters, was a meek, sexually repressed woman, but as She-Hulk she becomes the ideal woman; strong, independent, beautiful, and sexually liberated. Doc Samson's transformation was based on a repressed desire to be a hero. Sam Sterns was a bit of a moron who envied the smarter people he worked around, and he became the Leader, one of (if not the) smartest people in the Marvel Universe. Emil Blonsky was filled with self-loathing, and he became the Abomination. The general powers of these individuals are mostly the same (except for the Leader), but the manifestation varies widely based on the personality of the person being affected by gamma.
Thunderbolt Ross hunted the Hulk for years but secretly envied and coveted the Hulk's power all that time. So it's no surprise that his mutated Red Hulk form looks almost exactly like the big green guy except for the coloring.
There's a degree of variance in how the Hulk's powers manifest depending on which Hulk personality is ascendant — his baseline strength and intellect, potential strength, Healing Factor, what triggers his transformation (Banner getting angry or nightfall), and whether any secondary powers show up (like Living Lie Detector) are all open to change when a new Hulk manifests.
Ms. Marvel (2014): Kamala Khan is a shapeshifter, but unlike most examples she's honest and genuinely heroic. Rather, it factors into her being a Pakistani-American Muslim teenager and feeling uncomfortable in her own skin. The lesson she has to learn in her first story is that she has to accept herself for everything she is, rather than try to be a watered-down version of someone else. As she turns into other people less frequently, she instead primarily uses her powers to change the proportions of her body, emphasizing her teenage playful streak and her intelligence as she uses the laws of physics to her advantage.
Runaways:
Goth girl Nico is a witch whose spells are powered by blood.
Subverted by Karolina. She is flighty, cheerful, and has powers that involve the sun, light, and flying. However, her cheerful flightiness is an act.
Spider-Man:
There's a mind-numbing amount of animal-themed Personality Powers, along with an occasional Meaningful Name or Steven Ulysses Perhero. Otto Octavius has tentacles like an octopus, and he's grasping and manipulative. The Vulture is a mean, bitter man who preys on the weak (and even looks like a vulture with his bald head and hooked nose). The Rhino is big, tough, and stupid. Eventually, J. Michael Straczynski did a Lampshade Hanging on it, suggesting that these villains are totemic representations, and unconsciously target Spider-Man because his totemic representation is "true" while theirs are false.
At first glance, Spider-Man himself seems to be an aversion. He's a genuinely good guy, and even maintained his Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man image during the days of the '90s Anti-Hero. However, the public's perception of Spider-Man is very much like that of a spider. He is misunderstood, sometimes hated or hunted, dangerous when threatened, but ultimately a helpful force in that he acts as a form of pest control.
X-Men:
For the first two issues, the Beast played this trope straight. He was bombastic, brutish, and blunt-brained, just as you'd expect a musclebound lunk to be. The writers quickly discovered the comic potential in a "beastly brute" who recited eloquent Shakespeare, however, and by issue three the Beast's well-known Harvard-educated persona was in place.
Nightcrawler is a deliberate aversion on two fronts, both hinging on the fact that he has looked like a blue demon since the day he was born. Chris Claremont quickly decided that Kurt shouldn't be overly angst-ridden, but instead made him an upbeat, cheery charmer and Errol Flynn idolizer, as well as having him eventually decide that he should be "out and proud" as a mutant, rather than disguise himself. And in contrast to his demonic appearance, he is a devout and practicing Catholic who eventually became a priest. Adaptations have tended to play up his angst, though.
Wolverine, an anti-social berserker who considers civilization suffocating, has claws, super-strength, a strong sense of smell, and a strong resistance and regeneration power. These powers all make him come off as a wild animal in human clothing.
Rogue zigzags this. Her main comics depiction tends toward being a cheerful, outgoing woman... with an uncontrollable death touch. Other media versions cast her as a gloomy, withdrawn goth with an uncontrollable death touch.

Marvel Cinematic Universe:
Loki is the Norse God of Mischief, so naturally, he's gifted with Master of Illusion and some Psychic Powers.
Captain America: The First Avenger: The Super-Soldier Serum always grants enhanced strength, but its other effects are extrapolations of what the recipient is like; "good becomes great; bad becomes worse." After seeing what the prototype serum did to the Red Skull, Doctor Erskine refuses to give the serum to a candidate who is in much better shape than Steve Rogers but is also a bully.
The Avengers (2012): It's explained that the backstory established by The Incredible Hulk (2008) was that Banner had been attempting to replicate the serum, having been told by the military that it was a way to make soldiers resistant to radiation, only learning the truth after he used himself as a lab-rat. It's inferred that in Banner, it vastly magnified his suppressed rage, while Blonsky ended up losing control to his Blood Knight tendencies.

As a Lightweaver, Shallan can cast illusions and to Soulcast, transforming one thing into another. A large part of her arc is lying about things (such as her wish to become Jasnah's ward or describing the deserter band as heroes) and then making them true.

Yureka: Justified since "powers" are classes characters choose for themselves in a game, but still used for pretty clear symbolism and nuance:
Team Triple Threat pull I Am Not Left-Handed with their secondary classes, which align with their apparent personalities: Ah-dol is a Squishy Wizard and The Smart Guy, Boromid is a fighter and The Big Guy, and Lotto is The Hero who fights with a sword. In their original, preferred classes Ah-dol is a vicious, straightforward fighter, Boromid stands in the background and buffs his teammates as a Cleric, and Lotto is a Magic Knight, a dual class which calls for more nuanced tactics, who falls back on Playing with Fire.
Alpha is introduced as an enigma: his class can't be pinned down by observing his skills, and the battle tactics he use involve obfuscating his presence and using Confusion Fu on his enemies.

Freedom Force touches this. One character comments that it is quite interesting that all the heroes have powers that match their personalities. It is never expanded upon, however. Most noticeably El Diablo, who is a hotheaded Latino with fire powers.

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance:
The feisty Mia starts off with Vantage, which allows her to attack first even when it's the enemy's turn.
Shinon has a skill that can make enemies more likely to attack him. This isn't ideal for the Sniper class, which relies on keeping the enemy away from him, but considering his personality it's rather fitting.

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Bending is strongly linked to not only one's personality but the culture they were raised in.
Firebending is fueled by "emotion and rage" but lightning by a lack thereof (or, more accurately, control over it). More to the point, firebending of any kind requires an unbending will and a forceful, disciplined personality, which tends to lead to ambition. Later episodes reveal one reason the Fire Nation is so messed up is that their current bending style is corrupted and focuses too much on anger. Zuko experiences this firsthand in "The Firebending Masters". After he has a Heel–Face Turn, he's less angry and can't fuel his fire the way he used to. He learns that fire can also be fueled by passion, which he still has plenty of.
A major roadblock for Aang when it comes to Earthbending is that he has to "stop thinking like an Airbender" and learn how to "be steady and strong" like rock.
The Legend of Korra:
This issue is made explicit with the strong, brash Mighty Glacier Korra as explained by her airbending teacher:
Oddly enough, while Korra is from the Southern Water Tribe, fire tends to be her go-to element in combat. This is likely due to her tendency to tackle most problems impulsively and with brute force, which is at odds with the evasive nature of airbending and even the adaptive qualities of her native waterbending (which would also require a water source of some kind, which she wouldn't have the patience to look for or the foresight to carry on her). Even when she learns airbending, she uses it in a manner most similar to the firebending style.

Villains' Code gives us a Spicy Latina who can turn into a Woman on Fire and throw fireballs. On the other hand, her other power (Super-Intelligence) has nothing to do with her personality. Another character is an avid gamer, who gets the ability to pull any object out of a video game and use it (basically living every gamer's dream).

Steven Universe:
Steven, like his mother Rose Quartz, is an All-Loving Hero and has Healing Hands. Steven is also The Empath, which reflects his high emotional intelligence. In a darker twist, he eventually discovers he can possess people, which relates to how his desire to be helpful borders on invasive — though his disastrous attempt at improving Lars' life by possessing him made Steven realize exactly that about himself.
Ruby is Hot-Blooded and literally burns up when she's angry, while Sapphire is emotionally detached and An Ice Person. Sapphire can also see the future, and thus has a fatalistic view of things (which she slowly grows out of).
All of the main Crystal Gems have the power to shapeshift, but it's notable that we see goofy Amethyst use it all the time when Control Freak Pearl never does.

Mass Effect: Commander Shepard's crew.
Morinth fits the villain side of this trope, even after Shepard recruits her. Being an Ardat-Yakshi, she has the power to kill her mates while melding and is obsessed with finding new partners to mate with, displaying her dominant attitude quite well. She also can't read her potential victims very well (as long as they don't fall under her spell first, or if her target has a strong mind), since she doesn't pick up on the fact that Shepard is working with Samara until right before she walks in and pins her against a window.
The master thief Kasumi Goto fits the stealth trope (she is a thief), with impressive acrobatic skill and the ability to turn invisible for short periods of time. However, her movement is anything but subtle (watch her take out a gunship), but she is quite soft-spoken on the Normandy. She also fits the shape-shifter trope to an extent. She doesn't have the ability to shift her shape (she'll always be the kleptomaniac with the hood), but she can turn invisible, which allows her to sneak up behind enemies and give them a small fright(by snapping their spines). And she uses her tactical cloak for certain other... observational... tasks involving Jacob's workout routine.

Gunnerkrigg Court
The very calm and laid-back Andrew Smith has the ability to subconsciously create order where there was none, or, in Parley's words, "It's like his superpower is to make everything boring!"
Annie's first creations with the blinker stone are all fire-related, but according to the word of Tom, she wouldn't be able to use it for shield spells (while Anja Donlan can use her magic that way). Later revelations imply that Annie's power doesn't reflect her outbursts of anger or hot-headedness, rather the other way around: she gets angry and hot-headed because of them, and her mother is said to have been even more intense. They're part fire-elemental.

The Flash (2014): A number of metahumans get powers that mirror their personalities. For example, Kilg%re is a programmer/hacker, so he becomes a Technopath. Becky has always been unlucky, so her ability is to manipulate probabilities. Izzy is a country singer and gets the power to emit powerful sonic waves, especially when focused by her fiddle. Tony has always been a bully, so his power gives him metal skin, which translates to Super-Strength and Nigh-Invulnerability. Wally likes speed and participates in illegal drag races, so him getting Super-Speed is a no-brainer. Henry Hewitt has a lot of suppressed anger, so when his powers manifest, they turn him into a raging "burning man" (no wonder they nickname him after a device for containing plasma).

Epithet Erased: Several of the inscribed have epithets that fit some aspect of their personality, though since even very young children seem to be able to use epithets it's unclear whether it's the personality informing the epithet or the epithet informing the personality.
Molly's epithet is Dumb, which allows her to silence and simplify things, and is actually pretty useful despite often being underestimated due to its name. Molly is a young girl who is both overstimulated by loud noises and unconfident in her abilities. Her power also negates the illusions created by her older sister Lorelai, which shows her role as the more responsible and grounded of the two.
Lorelai has the epithet of Augment, which allows her to create augmented-reality "dream bubbles" which allow her to make custom-built fantasy worlds that she can hide away in and create any story she wants, but none of it is actually real. True to form, she's a very creative but childish individual who would rather hide in escapist fantasies than face reality.
Giovanni Potage has the epithet of Soup, which allows him to conjure and manipulate soup. Not only is Giovanni an excellent cook, but much like his epithet he is rather silly and a little bit dumb while still being surprisingly good in a fight.
Ramsey's epithet is Goldbricker, which allows him to temporarily transform his body and anything he touches to solid gold and back. Ramsey is also a Con Artist and art forger whose trademark is trading heaps of gold made from his epithet for company stocks and bonds, and then transforming the gold back into dirt.

Frozen (2013): Justified. Elsa's psychoactive ice powers strongly influence her personality.

Aerith is a gardener, doesn't have much physical strength or agility compared to other characters, and her special abilities revolve around healing and powering up, but her actual specialism in combat is, for the most part, flattening everything with black magic, indicating her gentle, but streetwise and teasing personality. This is especially prominent in Final Fantasy VII Remake where her combat abilities, and her eagerness to fight people and monsters, are both made into a focus.

Talamak plays with this. Some characters have personalities that correspond with their elements, such as fun-loving and lighthearted Breena being a Flora elementalist.

Between My Brother and Me: Mors Omnibus:
Yvonne Maxa has the skills to summon strings like a puppeteer due to her love of puppetry while simultaneously being capable of murder. She uses the Shaddoll deck whose gimmick is that they're zombified monsters of previous archetypes resurrected the purple strands of El Shaddoll Construct. This also reflects how Yvonne Maxa became reborn from a timid girl nearly killed by a mob boss to the strong and confident Grand Lorde Guignol.
When Dawn is "repurposed", her augment is strength in her arms. It's mentioned in the prequel that all Dawn wanted to do was hug her brother — who Hates Being Touched — but she dies just when she finally gets to hug him. Once she's resurrected as a Dark Signer, the curious Ayu Ayukawa can look into the past of a location if relates to a question that's on her mind.

Final Fantasy VI:
Terra automatically learns fire spells — initially, it goes with the wild and potentially destructive nature of her esper side, but later in the game, it reflects her warm, caring, maternal side. Celes, meanwhile, learns ice to start with since she's a Defrosting Ice Queen.
The brothers Edgar and Sabin both have a similar concept to their combat — they have an increasing list of special largely physical combat moves they can do without using MP or taking other drawbacks — but subtly altered for the way each brother has developed over the years. Edgar, the king, gets his new abilities by paying money for items associated with them and can then select them from a menu. Sabin, who abdicated for a simple life, has to access his abilities with memorized button input commands, but they come from his inherent character rather than from his possessions.
Wild Child Gau, moogle Mog and yeti Umaro are all characters that go into an uncontrollable state where they will unleash powerful attacks, and all are either animals or associated with them. Gau, who is a human raised by animals, can travel with animals for a little while to learn a new ability, after which he can adopt their moves in combat; Mog, a magical animal, learns Dances associated with battling in various places that create a fixed sequence of spells he will use in a strict order; and Umaro, who is described as 'muscle' and is nowhere near as intelligent as Mog and Gau, just ploughs forward using either a physical or magical attack at random.

Teen Titans (2003):
Beast Boy is the usual shapeshifting trickster. Starfire flies, has solar bolts, and is perpetually cheerful, while Raven is a part-demon sorceress who is dark and moody. (In the "Freaky Friday" Flip episode, it is revealed that Raven and Starfire's powers are literally tied to their emotions; Star's to her joy and fury, Raven's to calmness and control.)
There are some cases of the power influencing the personality here:
When Raven's emotions get out of control, her powers are shown to go haywire in very scary ways, so it makes sense she'd do everything she could to clamp down on them, which explains both her brooding and her occasional outbursts of repressed emotions.
Beast Boy is also a vegan, which at first might seem odd for someone who regularly turns into carnivorous animals to fight, but the fact that he knows exactly what it's like to be a cow means he really doesn't want to eat one.
The recurring villain Jinx, who causes bad luck, usually falls under Bad Powers, Bad People. At least until her Heel–Face Turn.

Fatale is a cyborg heavy-hitter and is analytic but slow at getting abstract connections and skeptical about magic. Mr. Mystic is a poor performing magician with access to the real stuff, tends to be creepy and withdrawn from normal society.

No Ordinary Family has the Powell family. Jim the father, is used to bearing the weight of his family's issues, so he has Super-Strength and Nigh-Invulnerability. Stephenie, the mom, is a workaholic without enough time in the day, so she got Super-Speed. Daphne, who is generally empathetic and doesn't like being lied to, gained various Telepathy-style powers. JJ, who had a learning disability, gains Super-Intelligence, the beauty of which is that his power is literally to learn fast and retain information for extended periods of time. Also, Daphne is a teenage girl, in a social setting that fosters an obsession with what other people think of you, and now she knows exactly what other people are thinking about her.

Superman: Rudy Jones was a pathetic janitor that had no qualms about bumming food and money off of people nice enough to share them with him such as Clark Kent. So, of course, he gained superpowers that reflected this as the Parasite.

Persona revolves entirely around this — the characters summon Personas, which are manifestations of their personalities. This starts getting really obvious in Persona 3 when the gameplay changed to make various party members only use one Persona — one greatly befitting their personality and skills, typically. (The Lancer is the class clown and hothead, with the physical/fire affinity Persona Hermes, two childhood friends have the Gemini and the protagonist... All things considered we saw that coming.)
Persona 3 Reload has an additional variation in this with Theurgy skills, which charges up more quickly for each character when they perform certain actions in battle related to their listed personality: the Player Character by swapping Personas, Yukari by keeping allies alive with healing spells, Junpei by building up confidence from landing critical hits, Akihiko by amping himself up with stat buffs, Mitsuru by exerting her will through the infliction of status ailments, Aigis by using physical attacks to complete her mission, Ken by pushing himself after using up at least half of his SP, Koromaru by getting excited after exploiting enemy weaknesses, and Shinjiro by being further motivated after losing at least half of his HP. The only outlier is non-combatant Fuuka, who simply builds up power for her Theurgy naturally over the course of battle while providing support.
Persona 4: Played with. The one with Agi skills isn't Chie, but rather Yukiko. Instead, Chie, and later Teddie have Bufu skills. On the other hand, they, and their Shadows, outright state they are quite close. Thus it makes sense that they would have the element that fits each other. Plus, Yukiko's Shadow mentions that she hates her name since snow is weak. This also plays to the central theme of the game, which is largely about accepting what's Beneath the Mask. Both Chie and Yukiko feel the opposite of how they act, and their real personalities fit the elemental stereotypes much better. To elaborate, Chie is insecure for being a Tomboy and relies on acting as Yukiko's protector for any sense of self-worth. Yukiko is the next-in-line owner of the Amagi Inn, and since childhood has been raised to be a fitting inn manager. She feels chained down by this and wants a sense of freedom and control over her life.
Persona 5 goes in the opposite direction as the previous game, with its theme largely being using one's power to reject systemic corruption, the protagonists' Personas awakening in response to injustices they suffer. Like Persona 4, though, it also shakes up how powers are distributed: class clown Ryuji gets Zio skills while Genki Girl Ann gets Agi skills. Calm and collected Yusuke gets Bufu skills, Hot-Blooded Makoto gets Frei skills, showy yet prim Haru gets Psy skills, and Otaku Futaba is a noncombatant whose Persona grants her analytical abilities while letting her grant buffs.

It's more evident in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, where the boss or plot-important characters are often partially defined by their types. Your rival team in the first series is the bullish Ghost-type Gengar (who does a partial Face–Heel Turn later in the plot), and in the second series, it's a scheming Dark/Poison type Skuntank. They even treat Ninetales as a proper kitsune long before the other games or series did. Just the Guild members in the second series. Lovable buffoon Bidoof, cheerful Valley Girl Sunflora, literal loudmouth Loudred (the species is based around sound-based voice attacks in general)...

American Dragon: Jake Long has the Oracle Twins, Kara and Sara. Kara only has visions of good things that will happen in the future and Sara only has visions of bad things that will happen in the future. Played with in that Kara is always grim and depressed, while Sara is sunny and cheerful. One character even lampshades that they would have expected it to be the other way around, only for the girls to explain their outlooks on life: Kara has every nice surprise in life spoiled for her in advance and has become unable to truly enjoy anything as a result, while Sara sees horrific things so often in her visions that even the most banal events in her life are absolutely fantastic in comparison.

World Tree (RPG): The various gods all have personalities and temperaments matching the form of magic that they preside over:
The Verb gods selected the types of magic they'd sustain based on which ones fit their personalities better. Some matches are closer than others.
Accanax, god of Destruction magic, is sullen and violent. He mainly creates wild, sloppily-designed monsters on passing whims, which he scatters on the edges of civilizations.
Gnarn, goddess of Mutation magic, notably doesn't match her field very well — her cruel moods and preference for creating elegantly-made and supremely deadly horrors would match Destruction better, but it's believed that she chose to let her younger brother Accanax have it instead.
Hren Tzen, goddess of Sustaining magic, is an adequate fit for her portfolio. She's more of an artistic sort than anything, but her creations are also very well-crafted and made to endure through the ages. The most notable is her Prime species, the Zi Ri, which she made to be ageless and everlasting.
Mircannis, goddess of Healing magic, is endlessly benevolent and primarily creates useful, unobtrusive creatures such as honeybees and medicinal plants.
Pararenenzu, god of Detection magic, is notable as a very poor fit for his field — he's flighty, mercurial, and easily distracted, and consequently doesn't take his field very seriously. In-universe, this is the reason for the flat 5% fail rate of Detection spells.
Reluu, god of Ruling magic, is noble and honorable, and loves clean, clear hierarchies where everything has its proper place.
Virid, the goddess of Creation magic, has an artistic streak and a mild, personable temperament, and especially enjoys making living beings.
Noun gods and their elementals likewise tend to have thematically matching mindsets, and their associated magic is also often described as having similar "personalities":
Birkozon, god of Mentador, is obsessively controlling and self-centered, and has absolutely no compunctions about using his powers to control, influence and subvert the minds of others. His greatest desire is to rule the entirety of the World Tree someday.
Flokin, god of Pyrador, is aggressive, quick-tempered, and cheerfully destructive, and is infamous for his casual cruelty. Much like him, fire magic is difficult to control and prone to wriggling out a mage's grasp with hungry red fingers.
Hressh-Huu, goddess of Airador, is a wild and joyful trickster endlessly flitting from one amusement to the next; she used to run the weather as an ever-changing whirl of extremes, and had to be forced by the other gods to stick to a regular progression of seasons. The winds of the World Tree take after her in temperament, mischievously snatching and tossing objects to vex mortals.
Merklundum Harnipsundum, god of Aquador, is a lazy, passive, and constantly-sleeping deity, much as water itself would rather pour along downhill or sit in a depression than go sloshing off on its own accord. Likewise, water magic can be difficult to "motivate" and push into doing what you want.

Batman: The Animated Series: Word of God describes the show's redevelopment of Mr. Freeze this way — his power is ice, so he should be cold and detached. However, they reasoned that people who act that way are actually the most emotional deep down, so they developed his backstory about Nora.

Want to show the bad ones that there's another way? You're a Redeemer, and your powers are centered around healing and rebukes. Want to kill them all and anyone who's standing next to them?

W.I.T.C.H.: Hay Lin's grandmother explicitly spells this out for the main characters. Irma got water because it can't be contained (like Irma when she decides to do something), Taranee got fire because she's the only one reliable enough to be trusted with it (as Cedric points out once, when Taranee gets pissed you must RUN. And he did so), Cornelia got Earth because she tends to function with hard logic, and Hay Lin got Air because she's a dreamer. The connection Will's powers have to her personality go unexplained in the show, but the original comics would simply define her as the balancing, mediative force that unites them all, something Will manages to fit once her character develops.

Pony POV Series: The Elements of Harmony and the Elements of Chaos both work this way, giving their users superpowers based on how they represent it (though this is only seen in the Dark World as the main timeline versions don't use their's often enough to develop the powers). For example, Fluttercruel is a Serial Killer and a Psychopathic Manchild, so her Element of Cruelty manifests by letting her make weapons from her body. When Rarity gets it (via her Element of Desire), she's a lot less restricted in what she can make and what its made of (ranging from weapons to shields to walls and composed of anything from diamond to platinum), likely due to not representing a single aspect of the Element of Cruelty like Cruel did. When Dark World Diamond gets it in Loose Canon as Cruelty's Redeeming Replacement, the power changes completely to Words Can Break My Bones. Other examples include the paradox-loving Element of Laughter Apple Pie having the ability to alter or disrupt the flow of mana via invoking Logic Bombs and the Determinator Element of Loyalty Derpy Hooves getting Super-Toughness and a Limit Break that lets her continue fighting in order to protect what she cares about.

The Quest of the Unaligned: Mages in the kingdom of Cadaeren are impacted by the type of elemental magic that they use. This means that, as they use their powers, shamais (water) tend to become staunch, hidebound traditionalists; aeshes (fire) grow to be intelligent, innovative, and iconoclastic; aretzes (earth) tend to be stable, kind, and reliable; and ruahks (air) grow flighty and hyperactive.

What If?: In #6, the FF get different powers that still reflect their personalities. Sue gets the Mr. Fantastic powers, with her meekness being described as a "pliable" personality. The other three powers are completely different (Reed is a living brain, Johnny's interest in mechanics makes him a robot, and Ben's love of flight causes him to grow wings).

The Rape of the Lock: Ariel the sylph explains for the audience's benefit that, when young women die, their personalities determine their roles in the afterlife: stuffy prudes become gnomes and live in the earth; romantic, emotional girls become watery nymphs; hot-tempered Tsunderes become fiery salamanders, and the coquettes who stay above real emotional connection become sylphs and live in the air. They spend their afterlives perpetuating their favorite activities: Ariel, a sylph, exists to help Belinda be even more of a flirt and heartbreaker than she already is. However, when Belinda's hair is stolen and she declares war on the race of men, Ariel can no longer influence her, and she falls under the power of the gnomes.

The Unexplored Summon://Blood-Sign: The various Summoning Ceremonies have different prerequisites and results. The First Ceremony 'frees' a summoner from their original self, grants them some supernatural/godlike traits. The Second wholly overwrites a summoner — the god ("Material") summoned actually takes their place. The Third transforms someone other than the summoner, who remains in total control of the Material and can command them however s/he sees fit. The Fourth was pioneered by a fiercely independent summoner who hated seeing Materials treated as slaves. Therefore, it requires the summoner and Material to fight alongside each other, switching out the Material's powers to suit the needs of the battle.

Pokémon:
The Grass-type Gym Leader Erika in the 1st generation fits the trope, being a kind-hearted friend of nature with green thumbs... it's her Pokémon that subvert it, Vileplume both in name and its paralyzing powder and smell being its strengths. In the remake Yellow, it's downgraded to Gloom to match the anime, which still totally subverts the trope. Not to mention Victreebell/Weepinbell, which is an acid-spitting bug-eating plant. Erika is one of the few that benefited from the Yellow downscaling, as then in Gold/Silver Gloom was evolved to the sunny-dispositioned Bellossom itself, turning the subversion into a straight-up match.
Blaine was eccentric, but far from fiery or aggressive despite being the first Fire-type Gym Leader. He's actually a bit of a Pokemon nerd and loves trivia and riddles. That said, he is often described as Hot-Blooded. His hometown/island also fits the trope, being on a giant volcano and having a ruined lab full of Fire- and Poison-types.
Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: The Sinnoh Elite Four. Flint is a fire trainer, and energetic and hotheaded. Lucian's the psychic trainer and is portrayed as fairly intellectual.
Most Legendary Pokémon are literal personifications of the elemental powers they represent. The lumbering juggernaut Regigigas even has an Ability to makes it start a battle slow but its strength builds as the fight goes on.
It's more evident in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, where the boss or plot-important characters are often partially defined by their types. Your rival team in the first series is the bullish Ghost-type Gengar (who does a partial Face–Heel Turn later in the plot), and in the second series, it's a scheming Dark/Poison type Skuntank. They even treat Ninetales as a proper kitsune long before the other games or series did. Just the Guild members in the second series. Lovable buffoon Bidoof, cheerful Valley Girl Sunflora, literal loudmouth Loudred (the species is based around sound-based voice attacks in general)...
Interestingly enough, some aspects to Natures will play this straight. For example, some like Hasty and Jolly are speed-promoting natures that happen to be extroverted traits while more introverted Calm and Modest ones promote Special Attack. Of course, the natures might zig-zag this since some natures sometimes don't seem to line up in description at times.
Pokémon Sword and Shield continues the trend with its Gym Leaders. Milo, who grew up on a farm, uses Grass-type Pokemon while pink-loving senior Opal uses Fairy-types, martial artist Bea uses Fighting types, and gloomy Alistair uses Ghost-types, to name some examples. Team Yell, in addition, favors Dark-type Pokemon, as does their idol Marnie and their leader, Marnie's brother, and Dark-type Gym Leader Piers, whose impoverished gym lacks a Power Spot and thus leaves him unable to Dynamax, although he refuses to use it in any scenario as a point of pride.

Touhou Project:
Reimu Hakurei's main ability is to float away from the ground, though this can be scaled all the way up to floating away from reality. Fittingly, she's a very detached sort of person who treats everyone the same (with vague disrespect) whether they be friend or foe, and despite all the people she's befriended over the years, she's described as being "alone in her heart".
Cirno is rash, reckless, self-confident and boisterous — clearly a fire user, right? Nope! An Ice Person. Fittingly, there is a popular fan-version of Cirno nicknamed "Achi Cirno" who is affiliated with fire. Even ZUN has gotten on this eventually — in Touhou Tenkuushou ~ Hidden Star in Four Seasons, the playable characters are all affiliated with a season. Cirno's associated season is summer of all things, which is really appropriate for her personality but also really funny considering her power, especially given that Gensokyan fairies are effectively low-level elementals.

Final Fantasy:
Final Fantasy VI:
Terra automatically learns fire spells — initially, it goes with the wild and potentially destructive nature of her esper side, but later in the game, it reflects her warm, caring, maternal side. Celes, meanwhile, learns ice to start with since she's a Defrosting Ice Queen.
The brothers Edgar and Sabin both have a similar concept to their combat — they have an increasing list of special largely physical combat moves they can do without using MP or taking other drawbacks — but subtly altered for the way each brother has developed over the years. Edgar, the king, gets his new abilities by paying money for items associated with them and can then select them from a menu. Sabin, who abdicated for a simple life, has to access his abilities with memorized button input commands, but they come from his inherent character rather than from his possessions.
Wild Child Gau, moogle Mog and yeti Umaro are all characters that go into an uncontrollable state where they will unleash powerful attacks, and all are either animals or associated with them. Gau, who is a human raised by animals, can travel with animals for a little while to learn a new ability, after which he can adopt their moves in combat; Mog, a magical animal, learns Dances associated with battling in various places that create a fixed sequence of spells he will use in a strict order; and Umaro, who is described as 'muscle' and is nowhere near as intelligent as Mog and Gau, just ploughs forward using either a physical or magical attack at random.
Final Fantasy VII:
Cloud starts the game with Ice and Lightning magic and a truly ridiculous BFS, making him much more powerful and flexible than Barret, who can hold his own but doesn't even have the option to do as much. In terms of personality, Cloud is much more calm and aloof, thinking carefully about what he does, while Barret is more likely to plough forward based on his gut feelings. However, Cloud is, at heart, a much more aggressive and independent person, and all his weapons are melee ones, while Barret is a Papa Bear so his weapons are long-range and literally a part of his body.
Aerith is a gardener, doesn't have much physical strength or agility compared to other characters, and her special abilities revolve around healing and powering up, but her actual specialism in combat is, for the most part, flattening everything with black magic, indicating her gentle, but streetwise and teasing personality. This is especially prominent in Final Fantasy VII Remake where her combat abilities, and her eagerness to fight people and monsters, are both made into a focus.
Final Fantasy XIII:
Hope, The Heart of the group (at least after he gets past his angst and grief), happens to be the best medic.
Sazh is a very devoted father who spends the majority of the game protecting and shielding Vanille; he happens to be the best Synergist (spells that improve combat capabilities and protect against enemy attacks). Also, his primary element is Fire and he's a good representation of the warm and nurturing side of its nature.
Lightning's Ravager specialization happens to be in the Thunder and Wind type spells. Given her name and disposition for the majority of the story, this is hardly a surprise.
Snow has a hero-complex and spends a lot of his time talking about protecting the world and his fiancée. He is the number one Sentinel. However, being something of a hothead, he lacks the personality traits normally associated with his Ice specialty.
Fang, the strong, warrior woman from a Land Downunder is the best Commando and competes with Snow for the role of best Sentinel as well.
Vanille is a Stepford Smiler who blames herself (not entirely without reason) for being the instigator of all the shit that goes down in the game. She's also the best saboteur and once she gets over her own death wish she can learn the Death spell.

Magic: The Gathering has five kinds of magic, which represent a mixture of mechanical limitations, personal philosophy, beliefs, personality traits, and goals. Creative's general approach is to have characters favour magic that aligns with their personality colours: characters with mostly Red traits (impulsivity, emotionality, a disdain for restriction and structure) generally end up as pyromancers or otherwise learn red-aligned spells, almost never blue or white ones.

Psychonauts is an interesting example: fully qualified Psychonauts have access to a host of different powers, but the active agents you meet (and at least a few of the campers) tend to specialize in powers that fit their personalities. For example, Germanic Depressive, emotionally closeted Sasha Nein specializes in controlling emotions and turning them into mental blasts, while bubbly, caring, fun-loving Milla Vodello is a levitation expert, a power mainly used to reach new heights and escape danger.

Cinders and Ashes: the Chronicles of Kamen Rider Dante has Hoshi don the Volcano Belt, which at first seems to fit with being Hot-Blooded, although it's later shown that the powers, which includes being set on fire and exploding when his anger is at critical mass, highlights the darker aspects of Hoshi. Namely, his self-destructive behaviour and his anger at letting close friends die. This follows through as he swaps Belts for the more efficient Volcannik Driver, which doesn't set him on fire or make him explode, mirroring how Hoshi cooled down over his emotions. It's revealed that the other Rider Belts function similarly, being powered by different emotions and as such, their users tend to gravitate towards those mindsets.

The Ultra Violets: The four main characters zig-zag between playing this straight and subverting it.
Iris is an imaginative and artistic person who has the power to create art anywhere.
Cheri's love for animals makes her perfect for her animal-communicating powers, but her math-based powers are at complete odds with her role as the fashionista.
Scarlet's Dance Battler powers don't fit her tomboyish personality but her Super-Strength gained in the second book sure does.
Opal's Shock and Awe powers only truly manifest themselves after she's become a much more aggressive and volatile person.

The Ultraverse: Prime from Ultraforce is a thirteen-year-old boy with the power to form a pseudo-organic shell around himself with powers and appearance that reflect his belief of what makes a hero. When he first manifested his abilities he was a huge fan of comic book superheroes and he could transform into a muscular caped Flying Brick. Later, after meeting individualistic cynical antiheroes and suffering from inner doubts, his new Prime form resembled a typical '90s Anti-Hero. After reconciling his newfound cynicism with his original ideals, his final Prime form is a mix of the two that leans more towards his original Cape form. Another hero named Elven with the same powers as Prime was a fan of ElfQuest and other High Fantasy works and turned into an elf warrior with magical powers.

Cultivating Empathy gives some upgrade to the naturally diplomatic and understanding Lan Xichen by turning him into The Empath and later having him accessing the Gift of Tongues after he's Chosen to be a Herald, so he's able to communicate with anybody.

Sonic the Hedgehog:
Sonic himself is the most blatant example, being an impulsive and carefree guy that loves freedom, and has super speed. Shadow, on the other hand, is a downbeat speedster on rocket skates.
Sonic is usually given some degree of aerokinesis, reflecting how he personifies the wind itself (which again, matches his carefree nature and inability to be tied down to one spot for long).
In Sonic Rush and Sonic Rush Adventure, Blaze the Cat plays with this. Unusually for a pyrokinetic, she's the serious and stoic contrast to the free-spirited Sonic; however, in dire situations, she shows a raging temper more befitting her name and powers.

Spider-Man:
There's a mind-numbing amount of animal-themed Personality Powers, along with an occasional Meaningful Name or Steven Ulysses Perhero. Otto Octavius has tentacles like an octopus, and he's grasping and manipulative. The Vulture is a mean, bitter man who preys on the weak (and even looks like a vulture with his bald head and hooked nose). The Rhino is big, tough, and stupid. Eventually, J. Michael Straczynski did a Lampshade Hanging on it, suggesting that these villains are totemic representations, and unconsciously target Spider-Man because his totemic representation is "true" while theirs are false.
At first glance, Spider-Man himself seems to be an aversion. He's a genuinely good guy, and even maintained his Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man image during the days of the '90s Anti-Hero. However, the public's perception of Spider-Man is very much like that of a spider. He is misunderstood, sometimes hated or hunted, dangerous when threatened, but ultimately a helpful force in that he acts as a form of pest control.

The Incredible Hulk:
As far as the Hulk himself, his powers are actually based on his personality. As the Hulk himself notes, "the angrier Hulk gets, the stronger Hulk gets", as his strength, speed, and Healing Factor all increase with his emotions. Partially justified by the suggestion that the Hulk's powers are in fact tied to his body's adrenaline production — the more stress chemicals his body produces, the stronger his powers become.
Gamma mutants like the Hulk have transformations directly linked to their mental state. In the case of the Hulk, his transformation is linked to Banner's repressed anger issues combined with multiple personality disorder. His cousin, Jen Walters, was a meek, sexually repressed woman, but as She-Hulk she becomes the ideal woman; strong, independent, beautiful, and sexually liberated. Doc Samson's transformation was based on a repressed desire to be a hero. Sam Sterns was a bit of a moron who envied the smarter people he worked around, and he became the Leader, one of (if not the) smartest people in the Marvel Universe. Emil Blonsky was filled with self-loathing, and he became the Abomination. The general powers of these individuals are mostly the same (except for the Leader), but the manifestation varies widely based on the personality of the person being affected by gamma.
Thunderbolt Ross hunted the Hulk for years but secretly envied and coveted the Hulk's power all that time. So it's no surprise that his mutated Red Hulk form looks almost exactly like the big green guy except for the coloring.
There's a degree of variance in how the Hulk's powers manifest depending on which Hulk personality is ascendant — his baseline strength and intellect, potential strength, Healing Factor, what triggers his transformation (Banner getting angry or nightfall), and whether any secondary powers show up (like Living Lie Detector) are all open to change when a new Hulk manifests.

Domina: This is how powers operate. Derek wanted to protect people; he became a Barrier Warrior. Laura wanted to know when people were lying; she became a Living Lie Detector. Akane wanted her sword to be useful; she gained Super-Speed. Lilith loves everyone in the city and sees herself as empty without them; she got the power to use the power of anyone who loves her back. Word of God is that there is some subconscious decision-making going on, however. For example, Laura accidentally locked herself into a bad upgrade path by insisting on always having the ability to know when people are lying; since her power is so easy to use, using it doesn't improve it at all. On the other hand, Ling is usually quite a bit stupider than Laura, but she has enough gaming experience that she was able to unconsciously MinMax her Dishing Out Dirt power a bit.

Disco Elysium: Your Player Party of core stats has this:
Your INT skills all have calm, well-educated, Sophisticated as Hell personalities, are interested in culture, and give you the ability to work things out, talk cleverly, and lie in return for making you into a pretentious wanker. Politically, they are aligned with Communism — the ideology stereotypically associated with academia, reading difficult books, and understanding theory. Pharmacologically, they're linked to cigarettes, the drug of every teenager trying to look intellectual.
Your PSY skills are very interested in other people, are insightful, tend to get really emotionally invested in things, and often have a tinge of madness about them. (Authority, the Token Evil Teammate of the PSY stat, fits all of these points, he's just also a joyless jerk about it.) They make you more engaged with people and the world around you, in exchange for making you insane. Politically, they are aligned with Moralism (centrism/the status quo) — the ideology stereotypically associated with apolitically wanting nobody to get hurt (but with that nasty streak of Authority in there, for the ideology that sees itself as the only option). Pharmacologically, they're linked to pyrholidon, a hallucinogen.
Your FYZ skills all tend to be macho, abusive and operate on visceral emotions like paranoia, lust, and pain. They'll make you better at taking and giving blows and relating to other people through their bodies in return for making you a self-destructive, horny asshole with Testosterone Poisoning and a massive addiction to drugs. Politically, they are aligned with Fascism — the ideology stereotypically associated with gut resentment, entitlement, and intellectual incoherence. Pharmacologically, they're linked to alcohol, the drug best known for its ability to make people impulsive, violent, and able to resist pain.
Your MOT skills all tend to have cool and flashy personalities, and are usually far more interested in things than in people. They make you better at dodging blows, being stylish, coming up with witty remarks, and understanding guns and machines, but also unempathetic, fixated, and shallow. Politically, they are aligned with Ultraliberalism (free market capitalism), the ideology stereotypically associated with flashy materialism, a grinding work ethic, and delight in winning competition. Pharmacologically, they're linked to amphetamine, a drug that makes people feel quick-thinking, focused and impressed by themselves, but also twitchy, paranoid and obsessed with meaningless items.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater: The Cobras take the trope a step further, actually naming themselves after the emotion on which they base their particular ability.

Legion of Super-Heroes:
Cosmic Boy is (usually) a Magnetic Hero with Magnetism Manipulation powers. He is less charismatic in some later versions.
In the "Threeboot" version Mark Waid brought this trope in a much more subtle way than done before, basically saying that their powers changed them and so people are looking at them differently, how they interact with people is different. Chameleon, the team shapeshifter has a malleable personality so he mimics those who he is surrounded by. Dream Girl is now literally a dream. More info found here.

Transformers: Animated:
Blitzwing actually has Split Personality powers, or rather weapons and modes. His calm side has a freeze ray and can take the form of a jet, his angry side has a flamethrower and tank, while his crazy side can apparently use either. He changes them when his temperament changes whether he wants to or not.
The Five-Man Band is a pretty charming display of Personality Powers themselves. Bumblebee is a caffeinated speedster, Prowl is a psuedoninja Ineffectual Loner, Bulkhead is a big dumb guy (subverted in the space bridge plot, but aside from his one intellectual specialty Bulkhead is still a tanky dolt). Optimus isn't on the above list, but his "modernised" archaic weapon is almost certainly an expression of his Knight in Shining Armor personality. Ratchet is a fun exception, as a medic who is a grouchy old cretin rather than a Mysterious Waif (but hey, this isn't a JRPG).

El Goonish Shive:
Magic users acquire spells "based on who you are and how you act", except undesirable disturbances. Thus hiding too much leads to developing stealthy magic and "If You Make a Cloud of Crows, You Just Might be Goth". There's also the extremely uncomfortable fact that this means that rapists get date rape spells. It's one of the primary reasons for The Masquerade.
Immortals can give people magical marks that allow them to cast a single spell related to something they wish for deeply (or something they have a natural affinity for, but those are rare). Normally immortals can only do this when the person truly deeply wishes for something, but Pandora is powerful enough that she can give marks to practically anyone. She's still limited to whatever they want the most, though, which annoys her when her options tend to be things like a spell to see through clothing, a spell to make yourself supernaturally attractive, and actual gaydar.

Drowtales has an interesting aversion in Nishi'kanta, a powerful fire sorceress whose personality, as far as the reader can tell, seems to border on emotionlessness. Her sister, Sil'lice, starts as an aversion and turns a straight example through character growth. Before getting ejected from her clan by her sisters, Sil'lice was an almost hotheaded warrior who apparently valued honor above reason. Yes, her power is ice. However, after her clan's coup, she calms down and starts scheming. She starts holding a grudge...

The Zombie Knight: Most of the major characters have these. Generally, they have at least two pieces of symbolism, one each for the nature of their power and the way that they use them.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
Rainbow Dash, the faster flier alive, plays the impulsive, brash speedster personality right to the letter.
Earth ponies are patient and strong, better at farming than any other race, something particularly exemplified by the stubborn, down-to-earth, and practical-minded Applejack. However, Pinkie Pie, another earth pony, subverts it, being energetic, emotional, and hyperactive — with good reason, as she was originally intended to be a pegasus.
The main characters are each tied to an Element of Harmony representative of their personalities. Pinkie Pie is the Element of Laughter, and is simply energetic all the time, always wanting to make everyone around her as happy as can be. Gentle Fluttershy is the Element of Kindness and is always taking care of wild animals. Twilight Sparkle is the main character and is actually a double subversion, as she is the Element of Magic, but is a very skeptical pony who says everything must have a logical explanation. However, she claims that even magic is logical, because it works how you expect it to work.
To an extent, every pony alive fits this trope, as their cutie marks (marks that appear on a pony's flank after a certain age that represent his/her special talent) can also represent what job they have. Unicorns especially, since the magic they can use is specifically linked to their special talent. Rarity is a good example; she's a fashion designer who loves working with jewels, has three diamonds for a cutie mark, and uses a spell that lets her locate buried gems with her horn.
Averted with the moon-controlling Princess Luna. She's intimidating at first due to being a Fish out of Temporal Water, but after learning An Aesop or two becomes very kind, fun-loving, and friendly. She's even nice enough to swing by Scootaloo's dream to help her out of a scary nightmare. In contrast, the sun-controlling Princess Celestia is warm, sensible, and motherly, matching the sun's warmth and life-sustaining rays.

Changeling: The Lost: Seemings are based on what the changeling suffered through while in Arcadia, which could also affect their personality. So, for example, an Ogre may be prone to violence not because of their strength but because they were victims of violent abuse. The second edition opens it up so seemings can also be the product of how they escaped Arcadia, or how they approach the world now.

Child of the Storm:
Thor is the God of Thunder and Lightning (not Reason and Understanding) and the Lord of Storms, and like the weather he can flip moods pretty dramatically from calm and steady to Unstoppable Rage pretty quickly — especially when someone threatens his son.
Jean-Paul zig-zags the tropes, being a light-hearted speedster who apparently zips from one casual relationship to another and moves on pretty quickly from changes. However, this seems to be something of a façade, with his actual personality being more detached, pragmatic, and at times, cold, calculating, and terrifyingly ruthless.
Diana also zig-zags the trope. On the one hand, she's an Empath, among other things, and a gentle, kind, and friendly person in the Mind over Manners sort of way. On the other hand, she's also The Berserker, something she actively tries to suppress.
Harry pretty much plays it straight. He's brilliant with fire, and, once he begins to open up and acknowledge his feelings more, he proves to be quite Hot-Blooded. And then there's the Phoenix... But, at the same time, he's also warm and kind. You just really, really don't want to piss him off. He even eventually settles as a textbook example of Fiery Stoic.

Twilight vampires are kind of like their human selves — only enhanced. So, for example, a human who was "good at reading people" becomes a telepathic vampire. Some vampires seek out particularly skilled/talented humans to turn, knowing that they will make strong allies. The fourth book reveals that supernaturally-powered humans keep and expand their abilities when turned.

Great Lakes Avengers: Subverted and supported simultaneously by Flatman of the GLA/GLX/Lightning Rods/whatever they're calling themselves now. On the one hand, his primary power is exactly that of Reed Richards (who he looks almost exactly like, strangely enough), flexing and bending all over the place while having the personality of wet cardboard. But then again, he's got stretching and bending powers — except that he is utterly and completely flat, matching his droning lectures and utter lack of interestingness.

The Games We Play (The Gamer/RWBY): This is not outright stated but implied with Adam. At first, all he could do with his Semblance was take in energy and release it as an attack, reflecting how he absorbed his frustration with and hatred of the world and threw it back. He eventually learns to control the absorbed energy, first to buff his sword strikes and then to buff himself directly, reflecting how he changed to absorb the hurt and draw strength from it.

The Avengers (2012): It's explained that the backstory established by The Incredible Hulk (2008) was that Banner had been attempting to replicate the serum, having been told by the military that it was a way to make soldiers resistant to radiation, only learning the truth after he used himself as a lab-rat. It's inferred that in Banner, it vastly magnified his suppressed rage, while Blonsky ended up losing control to his Blood Knight tendencies.

There's Something About Marinette: Heart Baker, the akumatized Marinette Dupain-Cheng, is a multi-level example. She is a love-themed baker with the ability to take people's hearts in the form of baked treats. What she pulls out of their chests depends on their feelings for her civilian self. This symbolizes her desire to be loved. She also has a horror motif, due to her finding love terrifying: She was terrified to try and confess to her crush and her first kiss with Chloes terrified her. The thing that got her akumatized was her fear that she would die alone after said crush seems to reject her.

Persona 3 Reload has an additional variation in this with Theurgy skills, which charges up more quickly for each character when they perform certain actions in battle related to their listed personality: the Player Character by swapping Personas, Yukari by keeping allies alive with healing spells, Junpei by building up confidence from landing critical hits, Akihiko by amping himself up with stat buffs, Mitsuru by exerting her will through the infliction of status ailments, Aigis by using physical attacks to complete her mission, Ken by pushing himself after using up at least half of his SP, Koromaru by getting excited after exploiting enemy weaknesses, and Shinjiro by being further motivated after losing at least half of his HP. The only outlier is non-combatant Fuuka, who simply builds up power for her Theurgy naturally over the course of battle while providing support.

Wild Cards: Justified, as mutations are caused by a burst of psychokinetic power brought on by the titular virus. While most folks tear themselves to pieces or set themselves on fire or otherwise destroy themselves, for those who survive and are left with powers ("Aces") or, more often, misshapen forms ("Jokers") it's considered quite likely that these are influenced by their subconscious desires or self-image. This allows truly Silver Age corniness (or simple dream logic) to exist in an otherwise realistic setting; Captain Trips, for instance, was a biochemist who was having trouble trying to "break in" with the hippie scene to get to the girl he loved. His powers triggered when he took a hit of acid, and now he needs drugs to turn into one of his "special friends," an alternate personality with superpowers.

Deadlands: In the various settings, any player whose character has supernatural powers is encouraged to choose those powers with some thought to the character's personality. Nowhere is this more obvious than with the Harrowed, souls that were either too lucky or tough to stay dead. A particularly stealthy character might crawl out of the ground with a power like Silent as a Corpse, while a skeptic might come back from the grave with some form of Arcane Protection (and considerable embarrassment about that "doubting Thomas" act).

Power Rangers S.P.D. has this apply to all of the Rangers: Jack Landors has the power to walk through walls, and he won't let any obstacle get in the way of him doing what is right. The Stoic Sky Tate is disciplined and distant from his teammates and shields himself as a Barrier Warrior. Bridge Carson is quirky but kind and very perceptive, and can literally see the best and worst of people through his Aura Vision. Z Delgado was deeply lonely growing up, and she can make copies of herself. Syd Drew can grab objects, absorb their properties, and use them as a Power Fist, mirroring how as the Lovable Alpha Bitch, she's used to having everything at her fingertips until her Character Development kicks in.

The Evil Within 2
Stefano Valentini is a photographer who documented the horrors of war, until his eye was mutilated by stray shrapnel, causing him to fixate on the more... let's call it "artistic" side of pain and death. In Union, Stefano's powers manifest in the form of creating Stable Time Loops to capture the gruesome deaths of his victims with his cameras. He is also able to manifest a massive eye resembling a camera lens that both watches Sebastian for him and attacks on his command.
Theodore Wallace is a Manipulative Bastard capable of digging into the repressed guilt of others to manipulate them, converting them to his cause. In Union, he takes the form of a Sinister Minister with a God complex, taking on a Religious Horror motif with command over fire and can mold people in both mind and body with his words.

Panthera: Leo controls the earth element and is the group's sensible, emotionally stable leader; the critical, easily angered Tigris bears fire; the adaptable, emotional Onca wields water; and the lighthearted, spiritual Pardus is associated with air. Given that each member was specifically chosen to undergo the experiment that gave them said powers, this may be a justified example.
The first story arc's Big Bad has powers over aether, the legendary Fifth Element. We see that aether is an extremely powerful weapon, but it is something of an All or Nothing ability with little use outside combat or destruction. Aether's wielder is impatient, greedy and insane, with little capacity for fine control and unchecked ego. This instance too is justified — it's implied that, in this case, the experiment gave the person so much power that it wrecked his sanity.
Later chapters introduce an antagonist who was also empowered by the experiment — an extremist, emotionally volatile snow leopard who takes sadistic joy in taunting the protagonists as they search for him. It should come as no surprise that he bears lightning.

The Legend of Korra:
This issue is made explicit with the strong, brash Mighty Glacier Korra as explained by her airbending teacher:
Oddly enough, while Korra is from the Southern Water Tribe, fire tends to be her go-to element in combat. This is likely due to her tendency to tackle most problems impulsively and with brute force, which is at odds with the evasive nature of airbending and even the adaptive qualities of her native waterbending (which would also require a water source of some kind, which she wouldn't have the patience to look for or the foresight to carry on her). Even when she learns airbending, she uses it in a manner most similar to the firebending style.

Dragon Age II: Aveline is a defensive warrior and nigh-impossible to kill, and is very protective of her friends. Merrill, however, subverts this in a very extreme fashion by being a sweet innocent Fish out of Water and being a blaster mage/demon-summoning blood mage. Anders is an interesting case; he combines compassion for mages and the war refugees he treats in his free clinic with a ruthless hatred of templars, and he's possessed by a demon of Vengeance. Symbolically of his dual nature (kind and ruthless and/or human and demon), he's a mode-shift Combat Medic; in Panacea mode, his healing abilities improve but he can't cast damage-dealing spells, whereas, in Vengeance mode, he deals more damage but takes extra damage himself and can't be healed.

Midnighters plays it straight, with the implication that your personality affects your powers and your powers affect your personality. Team leader Rex wears absurdly thick glasses and is a Seer. Anti-social Goth Melissa has Telepathy that she can't turn off and hates people because she has to listen to their petty thoughts ALL THE TIME. Polymath (read as Math Whiz) Dess doesn't want to get involved in the politics of the group; numbers are so much simpler. Jessica Day turns out to be a Flame Bringer and flighty, happy-go-lucky Jonathan, who just wants to have some fun, is an Acrobat.

Ms. Marvel (2014): Kamala Khan is a shapeshifter, but unlike most examples she's honest and genuinely heroic. Rather, it factors into her being a Pakistani-American Muslim teenager and feeling uncomfortable in her own skin. The lesson she has to learn in her first story is that she has to accept herself for everything she is, rather than try to be a watered-down version of someone else. As she turns into other people less frequently, she instead primarily uses her powers to change the proportions of her body, emphasizing her teenage playful streak and her intelligence as she uses the laws of physics to her advantage.

Encanto: The Madrigal family's respective magical gifts compliment their personality in some manner or another.
Julieta is a caretaker by nature, and her power lets her heal people's injuries by feeding them food that she made.
Overly dramatic and emotionally volatile, Pepa's gift is influencing (and often drastically and instantaneously changing) the weather around her.
The way Isabela makes her surroundings blossom with her Green Thumb, specifically how precise and graceful her control over her gift is, represents her status as a golden child striving for perfection. Notably, when she finally lets out her true feelings and lashes out in anger, she seemingly makes a spiky plant like a cactus for the first time in her life. During her subsequent "I Am Becoming" Song, it's implied that Isabela has a genuine interest in botany and horticulture considering her vast knowledge of tropical and desert plants.
Luisa is the dependable child who strives to be a strong figure others can lean on. She has Super-Strength.
Dolores is a quiet and introverted person, so her Super-Hearing allows her to get information without actually talking to anyone. Perhaps because of this, she is a bit of a gossip.
According to his official description, Camilo "doesn't quite know who he is yet", which is portrayed with both him possessing an ability to shapeshift into other people. He also frequently uses it to engage in mischief, such as shapeshifting into Dolores in order to sneak extra helpings at meal times and taking on the form of Mariano, Isabela's potential fiancee, when teasing her about their relationship.
Antonio is quiet and not comfortable talking with most people, preferring to spend time with animals. He gains the ability to Speak Fluent Animal.
Bruno is the worrywart of the family, as described by the movie's creators, and thus can literally only see bad things in the future. However, he gave Isabela an undeniably good prophecy and Mirabel later helps him experience a positive vision, implying that he would be able to see more good futures if he got a more positive outlook on the world.

Miitopia has a small list of personalities that affect gameplay both positively and negatively. Kind Miis have a chance to give allies healing items or try to talk with the monsters; Laid-Back ones tend to hide behind friends and conserve MP by using a weaker attack, but can also decide to get serious and hit harder; Airheaded Miis have a tendency to forget what they were doing and attack the wrong enemy or even fall asleep mid-battle; Cool Miis can ignore status effects, dodge attacks, and decide to use a stronger basic attack instead of a skill; Energetic Miis can cheer their allies on and cling to life against an otherwise fatal attack, Stubborn Miis can decide they're not satisfied with their turn and take another, but may refuse heals from allies; and Cautious Miis may delay an attack to double its effectiveness, strike a finishing blow on enemies, and procure extra healing items if the party runs out.

Ciaphas Cain: Jurgen, faithful sidekick of everyone's favorite HERO OF THE IMPERIUM, the single most unclean, untidy, and unattractive soldier in the Imperial Guard, and certainly one of the most simple-minded ones who, as Cain likes to point out, has a refreshing lack of thought of his own, is a "blank", a person who is immune to and cancels out psykers and any Warp-related powers. Justified, in that him being unattractive and devoid of much character is a direct consequence of his power. His rather obvious lack of hygiene is actually a way to give others an explanation for the uncomfortable sense of "weirdness" that his power gives off.

Dawn of a New Age: Oldport Blues: While not all of the cast received powers that reflect their personality, some characters did receive abilities that complement them:
Ciro gains the ability to create force-fields, which are primarily useful for defense and reflect his nurturing, protective attitude towards others.
Finn has spent most of his high school life glued to the grapevine, gathering up gossip about other students. His power allows him to glean information on future events, and also get information from any object he touches.
Ivan has the power to manipulate events from behind-the-scenes, which fits with how he's observational and quiet.
As lampshaded in his character bio, Jacob's ability to create miniaturized time loops is fitting for a Schedule Fanatic that's bound to his routine.
While Simon's power to manipulate fire and electricity doesn't say much about him, it does fit his evil side, the Dark Dragon, who's unpredictable, dangerous, and psycho.
Played for Drama with Daigo. His abusive father blames Daigo for 'sucking the life' out of his birth mother, so he's none too pleased when he gets a vampiric powerset.
Emmanuel got the power of Super-Speed, while Michal can control fire. Both of them are reckless, impulsive, and rambly.
Luna is volatile and energetic, and so is her ability to control and turn into electricity.

Fire Emblem: Awakening gave characters personality classes. For instance, Kellam can reclass into a Thief and a Priest, which sounds really odd for a Knight. However, he lacks presence making him perfect for sneaking around enemies and aiding his allies. This doesn't necessarily extend out to the second-generation children because their classes are determined by their parents.

Final Fantasy XIII:
Hope, The Heart of the group (at least after he gets past his angst and grief), happens to be the best medic.
Sazh is a very devoted father who spends the majority of the game protecting and shielding Vanille; he happens to be the best Synergist (spells that improve combat capabilities and protect against enemy attacks). Also, his primary element is Fire and he's a good representation of the warm and nurturing side of its nature.
Lightning's Ravager specialization happens to be in the Thunder and Wind type spells. Given her name and disposition for the majority of the story, this is hardly a surprise.
Snow has a hero-complex and spends a lot of his time talking about protecting the world and his fiancée. He is the number one Sentinel. However, being something of a hothead, he lacks the personality traits normally associated with his Ice specialty.
Fang, the strong, warrior woman from a Land Downunder is the best Commando and competes with Snow for the role of best Sentinel as well.
Vanille is a Stepford Smiler who blames herself (not entirely without reason) for being the instigator of all the shit that goes down in the game. She's also the best saboteur and once she gets over her own death wish she can learn the Death spell.

Soranica Ele plays this one pretty straight. Water-powered Honoka is a calm, shy type. Fire user Naki is a hot-blooded determinator. Saya, who has earth powers, is the most grounded of the cast. Kaguya, with wind powers, is flighty, eccentric, and fragile. Zenobia, with dark powers, is aloof but not a bad person, and Ophelia, with her power of light, is a guiding force that the rest of the cast looks up to.

In The Precipice, Grace Philips is a geeky workaholic who gains mental powers that allow her to learn and intuit at superhuman speeds, going from a freshman student to building a zero-point power generator in just a few weeks.

Shade's Children: Ella, the technician and strategist, can create tools out of thin air. Ninde, the people-loving child is a telepath. Gold-eye, the survivalist, has precognition. Then there's Drum, who could be called an aversion; he is telekinetic, a power usually reserved for physiological weaklings to allow them to measure up to stronger allies, but Drum was given steroids throughout his childhood and is enormously strong.

Fire Emblem on Forums: Chains of Horai: The power of a Gnosis, a blessing from the gods of the setting, is generally based on the personality of the person wielding it. For instance, Todoroki, a Hot-Blooded swordsman seeking to be one of the best swordsmen in the Five Kingdoms, wields a Flamma Gnosis, while the icy, calm but devoted ninja Setsurou uses a Glacies Gnosis.

Fantastic Four: In the early days of the comic book, the fire-throwing Human Torch was a hot-tempered grease monkey, the Invisible Girl was shy and meek, the brilliant scientist Mr. Fantastic had powers based on being flexible and adaptable, and the musclebound, monstrous Thing, while not stupid, maintained a "Brooklyn bruiser" persona and had trouble expressing his feelings. Although this is less evident in more recent comics, it's still sometimes referred to.
What If?: In #6, the FF get different powers that still reflect their personalities. Sue gets the Mr. Fantastic powers, with her meekness being described as a "pliable" personality. The other three powers are completely different (Reed is a living brain, Johnny's interest in mechanics makes him a robot, and Ben's love of flight causes him to grow wings).
A later What If issue (v2 #11) explored what might have happened had all four gained the same power, and suggested that, while the Invisible Girl/Woman would always be happiest with her power, Johnny might actually be happier as Mr. Fantastic (which he used to become a popular entertainer, more akin to the "sillier" Plastic Man and Elongated Man), while Ben would have been the most comfortable as the Human Torch (which helped in his job as a test pilot, allowed him to become a stuntman, and ultimately led him to become a popular solo superhero).
More recent interpretations have emphasized the Invisible Woman's forcefield power as related to her Team Mom or Mama Bear traits. Likewise Mr. Fantastic's malleable body is shown as an extension of his expansive and malleable mind.
Ultimate Fantastic Four: This is a case of powers causing personality for Reed as he's revealed to be stretching his brain to make himself smarter. This perhaps helps explain why building a teleporter took him so long while his Time Machine was built in a relatively trivial fashion off-screen.
A number of adaptations depict what powers the team obtained as being based on what was happening to them at the moment the Cosmic Rays hit their ship: Johnny was caught on fire, Susan was trying to lift debris that was trapping her (which explains her making forcefields; some adaptations have her being hit by a shockwave instead); Reed is stretching himself out (either to get ahold of the controls or trying to reach Susan) while being pinned down by debris as well; and Ben is usually slammed with meteors or has the highest amount of exposure to the rays (which explains his transformation being the most drastic among the four), whislt exerting his strength to help save his crew.

Don't Rest Your Head: Justified — powers are closely linked with the Protagonists' insanity, and if it isn't already a manifestation of that madness, it will drive them mad in ways related to it.

Metroid: Samus Aran is always in motion — if she has a life outside of chasing down outlaws, we haven't seen it. Fittingly, the Chozo gave her extra-flexible DNA, which helps her to curl tightly into an armor-covered ball that can quickly explore the many wild planets she travels to.

Copy Kitty: Entama in the setting are implied to gain powers based on their personality. The highly intelligent programmer Savant can program a spell to do nearly anything so long as he prepares it ahead of time. The energetic and excitable Lymia gained flashy electromagnetic powers. And the protagonist Boki idolized Entama superheroes and wanted powers like theirs, so she gained the ability to copy powers like theirs.

Charmed (1998): Loosely applied in the first season with the sisters.
Prue, who is motherly but also very controlling, gets telekinesis.
Nervous, meek, and insecure Piper gets the power to stop time, giving her an opportunity to calm down.
Phoebe, the youngest and most impulsive who lacks forethought, gains the power to literally see the future.
Later, Prue essentially gains the power to clone herself, when she feels the need to be in two places at once; Piper gains more confidence and learns to blow stuff up; and a more caring Phoebe becomes The Empath (though that could be debatable).
Caring Leo was a former medic and in death, he became a whitelighter with the power to heal others. Later, after being promoted to Elder, he goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge and gains the ability to throw lightning.
Paige's powers have a genetic justification — she's half witch, half Whitelighter. In accordance, her personality and control of her Whitelighter are different than what is demonstrated by Leo or other Whitelighters in the series. Other whitelighters are very collected and calm, with a rather zen approach to life. Paige, a Fiery Redhead, has a more emotional and temperamental approach to magic (not unlike her sisters), and often bumbles around awkwardly using varying levels of Buffy Speak to induce magic. Paige also grew up as an only child, not knowing about her family and not knowing her place in the world until she was already an adult. Much of her arc concerns her trying to find herself, spending a lot of episodes moving from job to job. Appropriately she has the power to teleport from place to place.

Kingdom Hearts features many. Earth-wielding Lexaeus is the strong, silent type. Fire wielder Axel/Lea is impulsive, Saix, who gets his powers from the moon, is both The Stoic and The Berserker. Donald Duck with his famous Hair-Trigger Temper had literal Firework magic. Ventus is innocent and lighthearted and has Wind and Light as his specialty. Sora is an All-Loving Hero and The Power of Friendship is literally his superpower.

All For Luz: At first glance, Luz Noceda having a Power Parasite ability doesn't seem to fit her, having a completely different personality to the previous user. All For One speculates that the reason Luz received this Quirk was, instead of Greed, due to her subconscious desire to take power away from those who had power over her and made her feel small, weak, and powerless.
Camila Noceda has been given the Quirk "Repair", a Healing Hands power, which goes well with her Kindly Vet job and Nice Girl nature. She also wants to "Repair" her relationship with her daughter after what happened to Luz at Reality Check Summer Camp.
