What about...
An immortal vampire who was trapped under ancient ruins for 10,000 years, but escaped during an excavation? The vampire can speak, read, write and understand every language on earth because the underground ruins magically brought him things to read on their walls. He knows a lot about ancient and old cultures up to the 1200s, but after that, he's unfamiliar with the world, and is quite naive about things like telling humans apart by appearance and gender, how to be modest, how to act in public, etc. He isn't evil, he's just really... well, really, really dumb- but smart at the same time.
He has the ability to read minds, use telepathy, has powerful telekinetic abilities (like enough to lift the empire state building with little effort and keep it intact, crush and condense it down to the size of an ultra dense marble, or take it apart from the molecular level- but he doesn't know much about molecules and new physics yet, so he can't do that just yet, and is fascinated by new knowledge and the simplest of things, like how you get graphite inside a pencil, or how fast photographs develop) and all the branches of telepathy, like speeding up the vibration of molecules to make them combust (pyrokinesis), slow down the vibration to take away heat and cause cold (cryokinesis) etc, but doesn't know how to use that exactly until he reads a book on molecules.
He can also manipulate darkness, teleport, has extreme shape shifting abilities (can turn into various animals, monsters, can turn into blood or mud, or sand, or stone, or other people, etc), weather controlling abilities, animal communication, can control blood (and turn blood into spikes or blades, control people like mannequins, etc), but doesn't necessarily need to ingest it. He can survive in sunlight, but it hurts his eyes, so he needs to wear sunglasses, and his abilities are only at a 1/10 of their original powers.
He is after all, a true immortal. He doesn't age, doesn't feel pain, doesn't hunger- but he does like tasting food. The only thing that keeps him from doing bad things is the fact that he's very naive, not at all evil, and is generally a decent person who happens to be lost in time. His reaction to being attacked would be as if a friend pleasantly surprised him. He's supernaturally strong, fast, and regenerates almost instantaneously to the point where losing a limb just makes it regrow from smoke.
He can also have an addiction to video games. X3
And he never needs to sleep, so he's constantly bored and has the need to wander. He doesn't know his own strength sometimes and can cause actual harm though, despite being able to heal others by stimulating their cell-reproduction rate with his psychic powers (he doesn't know how to do that yet), and so he needs to be on watch. Everyone wants him though, for experiments, for questioning, for killing, for the secret to immortality, he's a treasure trove to scientists.
Oh, and he has TONS of vampire OCDs. He can't cross flowing water- well- he can, but he just doesn't want to. He avoids the cross and other religious motifs, but only out of respect. He's allergic to garlic (smelling garlic makes him sneeze, and eating garlic makes him cough and turn green temporarily). He has to count EVERY grain of rice or wheat or bead that's spilled on the ground, and if presented with a chord with several badly done knots, he has to undo them one by one and redo them properly.
He is of course, a hardened warrior with hundreds of years of experience, though his time underground made him soft, his body remembers every style and combat reflex, and his mind knows every tactic (it is IMPOSSIBLE to beat him at chess, even though he just started playing a moment ago) ever recorded. He would much rather play games and eat chips though. He finds emos and goths creepy. X3
