"I draw energy from the area around me in order to fuel my powers, creating a zone of cold." Where's the first instance of this trope? I know I've seen it in Warhammer 40K but I don't think that's the origin. Blame head58 for this; he asked me and I can't get it out of my head.

There was one guy in a DC Heroes game I ran back in the 90s who had kinetic energy manipulation and tried to argue to let this trick charge up his Power Reserve. So maybe he got the idea from another media source? I don't think it was in Squadron Supreme, which was the only place I'd seen somebody with that power.
