Raven's original power set (empathic healing, teleportation, and her "soul self" whatever the hell it did) was unique both in scope and visuals. Visually, only Phoenix came close.

Jack Hawksmoor of the Authority and his weird city-based powers.

And I have to give mention to B'wana Beast, and his weird and, far as I'm aware, totally unique ability to fuse animals together to create various chimeras.

Like, if he could manage to get a lion, goat, and snake together, suddenly you'd have a classical Chimera as an ally, or fuse three dogs into a Cerberus facimile. The possiblities are pretty varied.

They had a lot of fun with that power on Batman: The Brave and the Bold. The only people who thought his powers were cool were Capt. Marvel and the Faceless Hunter.

Firestorm being a merge of several different people seemed kind of unique. I struggle to think of anyone else who did that.

Those annoying post brothers had the ability to shift between parallel realities where the fundamental physical laws were different. They knew the rules and would trap enemies in a dimension where they had the advantage. Unique I think.
