Powers: gene-vat bred Lupak with heightened strength, speed, agility, and reflexes, animal-like senses, razor edged finger talons, and a phantom gland that exists invisibly and remotely from his body while slightly out of phase with this universe. This serves as his only vital organ and thus he can regenerate from lethal amounts of damage so long as the gland remains intact, and even after the total destruction of his body, a cloned double can be created that accesses his soul and memories from the surviving gland.
Note: Versions of Fang died in UXM #162, Excalibur #70, and UXM #480. Wolverines #11 confirmed that the first Fang is still active and has in fact "died" multiple times, only to recover due to his unique alien physiology.

Powers: Telepathic powers enable her to read and project thoughts, stun others into unconsciousness, create psychic shields, and alter the natural flow of mental energy in sentient beings to create illusions, re-write memories, and control the actions of others.
Note: Thanos #10 established that Oracle went temporarily insane after being infected by the madness of the Maker, or Beyonder. This retroactively explained why she appeared naked, gibbering, and fetal in New X-Men #124.

Note: Mentor became a host for one of the Fraternity of Raptors in Realm #5, and was replaced with a female of his species in the Guard. That Superguardian never reappeared, and all subsequent appearances by Mentor seemed to be the original again, or at least male.

His strength level depends on his confidence - the more confident he is the more powerful he becomes, but if he doubts himself he quickly weakens.

Note: Neutron suffered what appeared to be a mortal wound in UXM #480 fighting Vulcan, but Realm of Kings: Imperial Guard #4 confirmed the "Neutron-class" Superguardian appearing in that series was the same dating back to Deathbird's era on the throne, circa UXM #157.

NOTE: Talon of the Fraternity of Raptors posed as the new Smasher recruit throughout Realm #1-5. Other appearances are presumably the real Smasher. It's not 100% clear that Superguardian Smasher was the one name Galin, whose death promoted Isabel Kane from Subguardian to Superguardian.
