This seems obvious to me but I saw someone else say I could do it so I must ask: when using "powerless" I either counter all of the targets abilities, or I counter all their powers right? because I read on an older thread that when using "powerless" it counters both.

"This character can use Outwit. When this character uses Outwit, it
can use it normally, or choose to counter all powers or all abilities
of a target character 6 or fewer squares away."

since it says "all powers or all abilities" it seems obvious that you must choose one or the other, but then again the other super out-witters cant counter all abilities at all so I'm asking.

Sorry if this has been answered before

yep to both- it does counter all of 1 or the other, and has been answered before.
have you explored the advanced search feature? searching just the rules of combat forum for questions like this can save a lot of time than just the regular search

If you use it normally, you can outwit 1 power at 10 range. At 6 range, you have to choose all powers or all abilities. So any abilities like duo attack, move and attack, and giant stride can all be countered at once.
