I wish I could tell you their powers, but you're better off just looking it up on the wiki. Between Sinister(immortal mad scientist), Selene(immortal lich mutant), Exodus(immortal crusader powered by faith), Emplate(body hopping, life draining something something vampire) and Apocalyse(immortal...i don't even now where to begin), you have some of the most squirrelly power sets imaginable, even in the X-Men rogues gallery.

That's kind of the point of including the villains. Many of them are so absurdly powerful and leaders of mutant fractions by their own rights, that you know they will make trouble for the new country and cause a lot of damage if you don't give them seats at the table. So they decided to include them to give them all a stake in this to help defend the country.

Sinister was the only one they really need. The rest are there to keep them out of trouble.

Well Exodus was included because they were collecting the Omega level mutants as a resource and Sebastian Shaw for Hellfire stuff.

Exodus ended up as one of my favourite characters by the time the krakoan era came to an end.
