Split Personalities differ in many ways, from having different genders to different moral compasses. In settings with superpowers, one way that personalities can differ is their powers. Said personalities might share a set of powers but have one or more powers unique to them, have a unique power or set of powers per personality, or all have variants of a single power or set of powers.
How this can work depends on the setting; in settings where powers are dependent on personality, a person with multiple personalities would naturally develop different powers for each personality. If powers are tied to a person's mind or soul, then a person with split personalities will be explained as having multiple minds/souls with each one having a different power as a result. If each personality once had their own body, then each power will be based on whatever powers they originally had as their own person. Sometimes a person will be explained as having multiple powers with each personality being only having access to particular powers.
If a Split-Personality Merge occurs, expect the fused personality to have access to every single power.
Characters with Superpowered Evil Sides usually aren't this, as the evil personality normally just has their own powers in addition to whatever powers the good personality has. Contrast Superpowered Alter Ego, where only one personality has powers. Examples from video games might overlap with Multi-Slot Character or Stance System.

In Avataro Sentai Donbrothers, Jiro Momotani has two personalities which each have separate heroic identities. The energetic good side becomes Don Doragoku, while the bloodthirsty "Dangerous Jiro" becomes Don Torabolt.

X-Men: Legion is the son of Professor Charles Xavier and Gabrielle Haller, and unfortunately suffers from a form of schizophrenia that is heavily associated with his powers. Initially, the boy had only three major personalities: Jack Wayne (the telekinetic), Cindy (the pyrokinetic), and Jamail (the telepath). When Legion was erased from the timeline at the conclusion of Age of Apocalypse, his three personalities were wandering about in the deserts of Israel, until Nightcrawler, Meggan, Shadowcat, and Colossus helped them to move on. Then, when Legion reappears in New Mutants (2009) and in subsequent issues, it is revealed he has numerous personalities inside his mind, each with their own mutant powers.

He's a common man possessed by a vengeful spirit called S-Ko, as well as four other spirits (Dog, Sword, Ghost, and Raoh) who take turns possessing Zappa in-game. Each spirit has its own moveset, with a few of them being shared between all spirits.

Dungeon Keeper Ami: Demonic Possession doesn't immediately give the possessor all the powers of their host. If they don't know the right way to cast a magic spell, the possessor would have to learn it having their host demonstrate, then memorize the shown procedure, or forcibly extract the memories. A.k.a a possessed body's individual souls' powers stay individual unless shared, and Ami is one of the few users of the power to possess people that would let the host take control sometimes, and that's because she's Bad Powers, Good People.

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V: Phantom is a Sharing a Body variation; each personality has their own deck and Extra Deck, which changes when they swap with one another. Since the cards in Phantom's Graveyard, field, and hand don't change, this means he can perform combos that otherwise wouldn't be possible by using cards from multiple personalities.

An episode of Forever Knight has Nick investigate a murder with a woman as a possible suspect. She later turns out to have multiple personalities. She also turns out to be a vampire, something only one of her personalities is aware of. Natalie later points out that her other personalities didn't display various vampire traits. For example, she was able to survive being in direct sunlight.

Neverwinter Nights 2: In the Mask of the Betrayer expansion, the Player Character is given the option of recruiting a follower called One of Many, a Mind Hive created from the undead souls of people who were burned alive in a furnace. Three different personalities can take control of the Mind Hive, which changes its class and function within the party - The Child acts as a stealthy rogue, The Brute turns it into a bloodthirsty barbarian, and The Madwoman grants it the spellcasting abilities of a warlock.

Honkai Impact 3rd has a variation that uses knowledge rather than superpowers; Vill-V is known for "partitioning" her own mind; she has about 8 of them, with each having their own focus of expertise, such as being a Stage Magician, an engineer, a chef, a spiritualist, etc.

Deviant: The Renegades: The Alternate Persona Scar has two Deviations that, when taken together results in a Deviant whose Variations can only be used by a particular personality; Inferior Persona makes it so that the alternate personality can only use Variations entangled to the Alternate Persona Scar, while Superior Persona prevents the primary personality from using Variations entangled with Alternate Persona.

Killer7: The basic premise of the game is that you play as the Smith Syndicate, which is really the seven personalities of an old man named Harman Smith. Each of his personalities has different weapons, attributes, and Personality Powers which are required to progress through levels and fight bosses. When switching personalities, the character model changes completely (ranging from a blind kid to a muscled Masked Luchador to a barefoot woman in a dress) and other characters also seem to perceive Smith as the personality in cutscenes. Five of them are freely switchable in gameplay, but two are more unique: Harman himself is only available in predetermined sections and Garcian, the cleaner, is only usable when another personality has been killed and he is used to recover the dead persona and have it revived. Fitting, since it's Garcian who is the actual body although even Garcian isn't his original personality... it's all a bit of a Mind Screw.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind: King Crimson and its secondary ability, Epitaph are both usable by Diavolo, while his Split Personality Doppio only has free reign over the latter and limited use of the former (which excludes its signature time-erasing ability). King Crimson seems to represent Diavolo, who speaks through his Stand until his identity is revealed.

Transformers: Animated: Blitzwing is a Triple-Changer, a Transformer with two alternate modes, who possesses three personalities as a result of the experiments that made him a Triple-Changer. His personalities are Icy, who possesses ice powers on and transforms into a jet, Hothead, who possesses fire powers and transforms into a tank, and Random, who possesses both of Icy and Hothead's powers and transformations. In something a deconstruction of this trope, one of Blitzwing's weaknesses is that since his transformations are involuntary, if one were to trick him into switching from one personality to the other, he would have no choice but to transform into the respective vehicle mode, even if the other personality's mode would be more useful.

Lost Ruins: The unlockable Another Side, Another Story mode has a Many Spirits Inside of One protagonist, instead of just personalities, transforming between each spirit gives access to the powers of their original body, but can't use all of them at once, meaning that the ability to roll and fit into small gaps, for instance, is locked to one of the three forms, although all three bodies have movement abilities, but only rolling can fit into small gaps.

Soul Series: Downplayed. Tira's mind is split between "Jolly" Tira and "Gloomy" Tira. While the two don't have radically different capabilities, their attacks do have different animations and properties, with Gloomy being more aggressive and Jolly being more tricky. They'll both become dominant at different points in the battle, usually after a lot of damage is given or taken.

Darwin's Game has Sui and Souta, which may also combine with Brother–Sister Team (Sui expresses that "Souta" is her brother). Regardless, Sui's sigil in the game, Pollux Light, allows her to manipulate water while Souta's sigil, Castor Light, lets him turn water into ice. Since they can apparently switch back and forth freely, they powers complement each other perfectly, with Sui moving water right where Souta can freeze it.

YuYu Hakusho: Shinobu Sensui, lead villain of the Chapter Black Saga, has seven distinct personalities as a result of a key event in his past. While only three are seen in combat, two of them have unique powers: the violent Kazuya personality is able to generate a gun barrel in place of his hand, letting him harden and focus Spirit Energy into a bullet, while the original Shinobu personality is the only one with access to Sacred Energy (or Sei K� Ki), due to it requiring a certain mental state to awaken; he uses it to clad himself in armor and for projectile attacks, including an energy tornado.
