Subject's name: Evan McCulloch
Subject's powers: The modern Mirror Master has basically the same powers as those of the original silver-age Mirror Master, Sam Scudder. Essentially, those powers include being able to duplicate himself, teleport, make himself invisible, and even travel into other dimensions.
Why this power seems good: It seems useful, and flexible. Creating dozens of versions of yourself would be a good distraction for someone who wants to punch you, and even if they do manage to land one, you can just jump in a mirror and escape. And teleportation is objectively awesome. Also, he turned Animal Man into someone that looked like his wife when he touched her, which is pretty funny.
Why this power might suck: It's extremely limited, because, well, you need a mirror. I mean, basically, your powers work great if you have your little mirror pack, or at carnivals, in clothing stores and in bathrooms, but go, you know, outside, and basically you're just some dude. And if your just some dude, a kick in the junk is just a plain old kick in the junk.

His power worked on any type of reflective surface.

Mirror Master is basically a posterboy for why you should be careful picking elemental themed powers if you cannot actually create your element. If they require highly reflective, mirrored surfaces then your somewhat limited in areas where they work.
This is the same problem Pyro has, except at least HE can carry a flamethrower or even some matches.
On the plus side, being a supervillain lets you pick your battles a lot more than being a hero. You can go rob the Hall of Mirrors or whatever, but the hero has to fight crimes where they happen.
