What if the 27th, 37th and 16th presidents could have existed at the same time and were given superpowers?

I imagine it would look something like this:

Name: Howard Taft
Superhero name: Slippery When Wet

After being trapped in his tub for a prolonged period of time, Taft developed a telekinetic link to it. After intense training provided by a wise Indian shaman, he would hone his new ability to the point where he could rearrange his molecular structure and travel through plumbing at break-neck speeds. Later, he would fight Aquaman and no one would care.
Name: Richard Nixon
Superhero name: Tricky Dick

Nixon would possess the power of shapeshifting, and, as such, would be able to physically change his body to look like anyone he desired. Unfortunately, Nixon's transformations would be limited to other people, keeping him from becoming an offensive juggernaut by turning into something awesome like a chimera or kodiak bear. Worse yet, his jowls would remain regardless of who he transformed into, ultimately forcing him to transform into other white-jowled males when a mission called for a foolproof disguise. When engaging in direct combat, Nixon would wear a Nixon mask into battle, which, ironically, was more believable than his actual face.

Name: Abraham Lincoln
Superhero name: Nabraham Bincoln

Abraham Lincoln's hat would have an unending supply of freedom.
