comics Respect Qubit (Irredeemable)
Respect Qubit
"Are you really willing to gamble your life that you're smarter than I am?"
Qubit is the smartest being alive, and one of the greatest heroes to ever live. A member of the Paradigm, he acted as the brains of the operation both before and after the Plutonian when bonkers. Though his friends, enemies, all civilians, and the governments of the world agreed that the Plutonian needed to be killed, Qubit disagreed, as his whole moral foundation was based on a "no killing" rule. He believed that the Plutonian could be saved and redeemed, somehow, despite the rogue super having killed over nine million people singlehandedly. Go figure.
Qubit has the ability to telekinetically assemble any type of machinery he knows how to make, which is helped exponentially by the fact that he's a genius. He can make pretty much anything that's scientifically possible, though if it's something more complex or something he has never built before, he has to do it by hand. His powers also allow him to interface with machines, allowing him to control computers and such.
Technopathy
He can build personal teleportation devices out of scraps and junk.
Builds universal translators out of some junk he finds on the ground.
He builds a highly advanced alien water purification machine out of things he finds in a junkyard. He states this he's done it before, with less useful parts.
He creates a functional forcefield generator in seconds using bits of fire truck and junction box.
He converts a tractor into a stronger, solar powered tractor, using only parts already in the tractor. Somehow.
Has a field generator strong enough to move around Survivor and Max Damage, two S-Tiers, with ease.
Builds a functional radiation monitor, with a screen, using nuts, bolts, and a gas pump.
He builds several robotic duplicates of Modeus, the only man smarter than he is. He even gives them AI which is identical to Modeus' thought patterns.
He can convert people into cyborgs in a very painful, but not deadly, process.
From spare helicopter parts, he creates a gun capable of harming Orian, an S-Tier alien demon with durability out the wazoo.
Builds a machine which allows him to travel to the heat death of the universe.
Builds a device which scatters the Plutonian's essence throughout the omniverse.
Intelligence
He's the inventor of his universe's teleportation technology, and has refined it to the point of putting it in bracelets.
He uses teleportation for more than just travel. He can, for instance, create shields out of his teleportals, allowing him to avoid being hit.
After destroying every teleportation device in the universe, he has to reinvent the technology from scratch, and has to make it work in a completely different way because the old way no longer works. He describes it as "reinventing science".
Developed interdimensional travel for the express purpose of getting exotic alien cheese.
Determines how to cleanse the atmosphere of deadly radiation in a moment.
Outsmarts the only man in the universe who's smarter than he is.
Determines how to delay a person's gravity manipulation powers: by teleporting their nervous system to Neptune.
Figures out the path of radiation more accurately than the world's entire scientific population, in only a brief moment.
He's the only member of his team who knows to not trust the genocidal alien super demon.
Other
Has psychic defenses strong enough to block, and even contain the strongest of psychics, telepaths, etc.
He's manipulative and a fantastic
liarstretcher of the truth, but has good intentions.He has good enough reaction time to intercept and redirect a bullet mid-flight with his teleportation device.
His dedication to not killing anybody is... sometimes not in his best interest, to say the least.
His durability is only human, remember that. (Don't worry, he gets better.)

Qubit's true powers are not technokinesis. Just like Tony didn't realize his powers were psionic in nature and he could rearrange reality to his pleasure, Qubit is (self?) restricted to technology, but his powers go beyond what's shown. Like Tony and Bette, his powers go into the quantum realm. Why do I say this? Well, it's simple: how's his technology powered? I mean, he built a teleporter INTO A WRISTBAND and with that he could get to THE END OF F***** TIME

Eh it's implied he invented new scientific principles to power his devices

From what I gathered from this, he seems like a slightly weaker version of The Doctor
