Yeah, that's precisely what I was thinking it was... Marvel has several characters with those sort of non-combat powers, most famously the New Mutants' Cypher (superhuman language abilities) and the X-Men's Forge (superhuman invention ability). One of my own original characters can instinctively use any form of technology. I think it's an interesting approach to superpowers; people who can fly and punch stuff are a dime a dozen.
