Those powers are a bit too limited and specific. They can't work in their current form
I assume you meant him to have other powers from before the artifact? If so it could work

To be totally honest, I think the Fusion powers are way too complicated for a quest to manage, however the time limit means that we only use it once in a fight so it can't be used offensively or defensively. Instead the play style will be we prep for fights by finding a bull to get enhanced strength, then trying to find rubber or something to make our skin tougher... Although the example including the immobility of stone makes me dubious inorganic transformations would get?
I assume Oshha that this version of the power is buying sustained up to continuous?
[X]-Uottin the energy orb
On the other hand intangibility and lasers are very hard for the quest to get wrong. And illusions adds a good amount of a utility.And I assume the orb has some kind of flight/levitation. E: Might still have some kind of movement ability but its not in the description.

This is an important and difficult vote, so I will leave it open for at least one more day
Should be noted you won't be some amorphic energy orb, but a being infused with solar power. You would have existed before,and infused with the power of the flare. You could change the vote to include your former origin, or it can be a vote in the last part if you win

I updated my analysis.
Bah there go the shenanigans of attempting to go through life as a non physical attempting to use illusions to bluff being normal.
Shame if it means losing flight/levitation as Flying Artilery is a superhero staple for a reason however still a lot of potential in photokinesis and intangibility.
Yeah sorry for that. I intially thought both of you meant energy orb as a title or superhero name that relates to his powers. Only when I reread it again when tallying I understood you meant a literal energy orb, which doesn't really fits the story(it is a good premise for another quest though. Maybe I will do it some other time)I updated my analysis.

No need to apologise, I blame whoever told you to aggressively veto anything that doesn't fit the story.
Fuck that guy.
Well, If you want to keep this plan, that idea can work if you switch the energy orb with an alien that was caught in the solar flare energy and gained powers.
Or you can do something else. The energy orb I will sadly have to veto, as well as creation in the solar flare. It just can't fit my plans

Can you post a list of things that are allowed or are not allowed? That would be helpful in coming up with a plan that would work. Sorry for the trouble.

Speaking of I do like the orb but when its the only option that hasn't been vetoed I don't think its good for voting.

[X] Ahl the Wanderer
-[X]You are Ahl of Rhens. You happen to posses some abilities that your people consider dangerous and so you are often sent of far flung exploration missions. This time you were tasked with the exploration of newly discovered terrestrial planet. You were given a ship capable of hyperspace travel and sent on your way. Putting in the coordinates you were sure this would be another uneventful and dull trip. Unfortunately your ship decided that it would rather malfunction than work properly. You were trapped in hyperspace for what was simultaneously an eternity and a second before barely managing to escape. The good news is that you have arrived at your destination, the bad, your ship is wrecked and it appears that A LOT of time has passed since you embarked on your journey. There are now sentient creature inhabiting this planet, and you are stuck here.
-[X] You are a telekinetic a rare thing for any of your people, and even more rare is your talent and power in regards to the control of the basic elements(Fire, Wind, Water, Earth).
-[X] specialized skillset- you are an expert. your skills, and to a lesser degree your abilities and powers too, will be more focused. you will perform much better in the areas you focus on but will be somewhat lacking in other areas. finding friends to accomplish those tasks might be a good idea
So yeah this was my original idea and it took some time to really put together in a semi coherent manner. We are a space man who has abilities that have left him an outcast in his society. We are sent on a mission, it goes terribly wrong and we are now stuck in Earth after our ship no longer works. I wasn't sure about what kind of power the character should have, so I decided on specialized telekinetic control over the 4 elements(I'm a fan of Avatar). Should make us powerful but no so powerful. We could still get killed by a gun or something and our body is basically baseline human level.
I'm not married to the power but I am regarding the character.

Origin requirements
It is alright, I think it can be a good things to have. So, here we go
Requirements of character:
1)humanoid body. You don't have to look exactly like a human, but things like an orb of energy or a superintelligent shade of blue are not allowed.
2)you need to have some sort of combat ability. This could be derived from a thing other than your powers, but having a non combat outsider superhero character in the the 1920 Germany will end badly.
3)you can't have a major former knowledge human society. Basic knowledge is okay, but having mapped out Berlin and surveyed the current state of Germany not. You have knowledge of an outsider, though you may be an educated one
4)you must have had existed before arriving on earth, Or have another source from which you have gained your skills, knowledge, and at least extremely basic knowledge of life(not human society knowledge, but really, really basic things, which most would learn as child's in one way or another).
5)lastly, your powers need to be able to work in the Mutants and masterminds rules, simply because they are the mechanics used to run the quest
There is no ban on human characters though, as long as they come from outside human society, from somewhere unknown to the rest of the world
Also, it is interesting that every plan is based on alien origin. It is the type of superheroes I am the least experienced with, so I might have difficulty to handle this. It shouldn't be that terrible, and will probably improve with time, but do note that there might be a few problems at first

[] Plan: Imperial Renegade
-[] Origin: Originally created by the Empire of the Skrean, you are an experiment formed in an attempt to create a being capable of combining biology and machine. By fusing with the engine of a fighter, you escaped and crashlanded on Earth destroying the ship in the process.
-[] Power: You have the ability to incorporate technology into your body, adapting and enhancing the technology to suit your needs. Small technology (e.g. flashligts, hand-held laser guns, and anything else that can fit into the palm of your hand) can be incorporated into your body with no difficulty permanently, while technology the size of a limb must replace a limb. When you merge with technology the size of your body or larger, your body is replaced by the technology. So long as you have sufficient materials you can alter the form of the machine to match technology you can understand, adding new functions to whatever you are merged with.
-[] broad skillset- you are a jack of all trades. you have a multitude of skills, and a wider range of powers, but in return, your ability of each of them is lower. you have a good ability in your focus areas, though still not expertise, and some dabbler abilities at many others. due to the additional effort given to learning multiple skills, you will have somewhat fewer and weaker powers. you will be able to perform somewhat well on your own, and will provide good support to a group, but sometimes you will have to rely on more specialized allies for harder tasks.

Aliens are the easiest to work with given that we don't know too much about the other realms and things that are available, also Fairies have already been done
[ ] Terry the Time Traveller
-[ ] Every time traveller asks themselves at some point "Would you kill baby Hitler?" and the answer is obviously "Probably not, someone else might just do it anyway.". Chaos theory isn't like how so many people understand it, the fact that butterflies outnumber hurricanes by so much should be a clue that not every butterfly flap can make a hurricane. In order to prevent something like the Holocaust you need to address the conditions that made people willing to do it, not just scapegoating one person.
-[ ] The Tachyon Manipulation Suit is a miracle of engineering, while travelling back in time or scanning the future requires more power and external equipment that you left behind, you're still capable of slowing others to the point of freezing, super speed, destructively aging obstacles and predicting incoming punches and bullets.

Not sure if this violates rule 3 and has too much knowledge.
Overall, I don't think there would be much problem with anything that would fit in a normal comic book setting. There is plenty of stuff still available, like angels, elementals, wizards, people from another dimension, and plenty others.
If you are not sure about something, ask. It should be noted though that @Oshha has the final say about whether something is allowed in the setting
It could work. This period of time could be mostly legend in the time you come from, or you didn't know when you will end up and so didn't research the era

[X] Uottin the energy orb V2
-[X] Origon-A space faring humanoid alien who was caught in a anomalous solar flare, Uottin drifted to earth, and was discovered by a retired scientist who helped them.
-[X] Powers-Uottin has the power to transform into a ball of light that can manipulate light, float, and pass through objects. They can use these powers to a lesser degree when untransformed.
-[X] specialized skillset- you are an expert. your skills, and to a lesser degree your abilities and powers too, will be more focused. you will perform much better in the areas you focus on but will be somewhat lacking in other areas. finding friends to accomplish those tasks might be a good idea.
Edited to accommodate the requirements while changing as little about the character as possible. Would this work?

Our character has to have basic knowledge beforehand. If the scientist found us and we had no knowledge/memories but our name it wouldn't be valid. Also can we use our powers in our humanoid form? Or only when we are a ball?

Fixed.
This works. I will assume votes for the previous one are now for this, unless someone changes his vote
I will extend voting a bit, since there are only a 4 votes and I don't like closing such an 8mportant vote with so little. Hopefuly there will be more, but I will close this in 5 hours either way.
Last minute to vote! Vote for a plan or offer a new one quickly! Will you be an alien being infused with solar energy, or a psionic traveler crashed on earth. Or maybe a time traveler, a super-powered refugee or something entirely different?
Also @lordkillyou have not actually voted for your plan, you need to put an X between the []
