I probably won't do this for every character but I may go back and do it for the Gorgon examples for Monster of the Week, City of Mist, 7th Sea, and a few other games with a heavy team interaction focus. I'm not going to do the full simulation but I will show their beginning and ending states. They all will get 12 improvements on the idea that Vermin may have joined late but may also have had worse luck on the rolls or produced more Potential in some other way. It just makes things easier.

Moves
Janus Move: Dangerous Web: When you reveal a trap you've left for someone using your powers, roll +your Mask's Label. On a hit, your opponent trips into it, and you get an opening or opportunity against them. On a 10+, take a +1 forward to pursuing it. On a miss, the trap inadvertently leads to a dangerous escalation.
Outsider Move: Kirby-Craft: You have a vehicle from your home. Detail its look and choose two strengths and two weaknesses. You can use it to unleash your powers, directly engage a threat, or defend someone using Superior. It's a ghostly car, sort of a modern variation of death's carriage.
Strengths: Telepathic, Dimensional-shifting
Weaknesses: Susceptible to banishing, Difficult to repair
Adult Move: Empathize: When you openly empathize with someone, roll +Mundane. On a hit they must reveal a vulnerability or mark a condition. On 10+ you take Influence over them as well.
Burn
When you charge your powers, roll +Conditions you currently have marked. (Basically the more hurt/emotional you are, the more easily you draw on power). On a hit hold 3 Burn. On a 7-9 mark a condition. On a miss, hold 2 burn and mark 3 conditions.
Flares:
Boost: Spend 1 burn to supercharge a teammate's efforts with your powers, giving them +1 as if you had spent from the Team pool
Constructs: Spend 1 burn to create an object up to the size of a person. Spend 1 additional burn to animate it independently of yourself. The construct dissolves at the end of the scene.
Elemental Awareness: Spend 1 burn and mark a condition to open your mind up to the world around you with your powers. You can ask any one question about the world around you and the GM will answer you honestly.
Moat: Spend 1 burn to create a barrier that will hold back threats as long as you hold your attention on it. The GM might ask you to spend an additional burn if it is threatened by particularly powerful enemies.
Move: Spend 1 burn to move to any place you choose within the scene, breaking through or slipping past any barriers or restraints in your way. Spend a second burn to move to any place you've previously been.
Overcharge: You channel the full capacity of your incredible powers to overcome an obstacle, reshape an environment, or extend your senses. Spend 2 burn to automatically take 10+ when you unleash your powers.
Reality Storm: You channel a destructive burst with your powers. Spend 1 burn to directly engage a threat and roll +Freak instead of +Danger. If you do, you will cause unwanted collateral damage unless you spend an additional burn.
Shielding: You call up a fast protective field to stop a danger. Spend 1 burn to defend someone else from an immediate threat rolling +Freak instead of +Savior.
Snatch: Spend 1 burn to use your powers to seize any one object up to the size of a person from someone within view.
Worship: You put out a tremendous display of your might. Spend 1 burn to awe an audience into silence, respect, and attention when you unleash your powers.

Danger: +3
Freak: -2
Savior: +1

(Note, I am incredibly amused that Vermin, the sentient nanite swarm that may be an AI or may be the transferred consciousness of an unknown person, is the character whose self-image is the most "I'm just a normal person" out of all four of the characters. The only character with minimal Freak and maximum Mundane. Of course, they also view themselves as very dangerous.)
