when use in contact with oracle and give the power action to turn the dial of oracle (bat025) the character can use only 1 or all powers show on the oracle dial?

When your character is given the power action to turn the dial, you choose one power, and can use that power until an agent is given a power action to choose another power.

Unless I missed an errata, that is incorrect:
In Contact with Oracle
Choose two or more characters; Oracle may not be chosen. Chosen characters are Agents.
As long as it is not the target of Mind Control, when an Agent is given an action you may choose to give one of its combat values +1 until the beginning of your next turn.
If Oracle is on your force, you may remove her from the battlefield at the beginning of the game and place her on this card. At the beginning of any of your turns, you may assign a power action to any Agent with zero or one action token and turn Oracle's dial to any click. The Agent given the action may use any power showing on Oracle's dial until any Agent with zero or one action token is given a power action to turn Oracle's dial. If your last Agent is KOd while Oracle is on this card, Oracle is also KOd.
*Per character chosen.

I was looking at the clarifications earlier in the Player's Guide:
Quote
IN CONTACT WITH ORACLE
If Oracle is removed from the battlefield and placed on the
In Contact With Oracle feat card her team ability cannot be
copied by figures with wildcard team abilities. It may be
selected by a wild card under the effect of the Loyalty
BFC.
Free actions may not be used to give an Agent the +1 to its
combat values.
When an Agent already has a power showing on its dial
that Oracle has, it may not be granted that same power
from Oracle.
Oracle causes the Agent to possess the power that is
showing on her dial. If the Agent is KOd, the effects of the
power are lost.
The power action given to an Agent to use one of Oracle‘s
powers is given for that effect only. You cannot assign a
power action for, say, Charge, and click Oracle‘s dial and
then use Charge.
Only one Oracle figure may be placed on the card.
All of the references there are to a singular power.

Like I said, unless I missed an errata, you can use all of Oracles powers. It's always been that way. That's what makes Alpha Oracle so good, you can use Mind Control, ES/D and Perplex all off of that second click of hers.

Also, no where you quoted specifies that only one power may be used at a time.

Actually, I think this line does.
"The power action given to an Agent to use one of Oracle‘s
powers is given for that effect only."
But looking at it again, I think that the entry for In Contact with Oracle has been there since before the Batman Alpha version of Oracle existed and should be updated to grammatically reflect the fact that you can get multiple powers.

Check the posts above, and the posts they references.

It seems as if it could be done, but I'd like to hear what others think...

Slap Mental Shields onto a figure with Willpower somewhere on the dial and go to town with that new-found Mind Control.
So unless I missed an errata that says otherwise, it's always been perfectly legal to use all of the powers showing on Alpha Oracles dial.

Did you miss the fact that I was agreeing with you in my last post?
I said the clarification needs to be updated, and you CAN use all of the powers showing on the dial.
